Of JEWS
IN EUROPE STARVING
More Than 2,5O0, GOO People Repre-
sented in This Number,
Expert Says.

More than one-third of the Jewish
population of Europe is starving. This
one-third represents 2.45O,o0o people,
mittee of funds for Jewish war suf-
ferers. Seven cents day will sustain
one human being and the sum OF $50
will sustain a person for a year. The
that half Of the s62, 500. 900 a year need
ed for food alone must como from
America.
Facts and figures carefully compiled
from cable messages received In the
last several weeks by the committee,
according to the treasurer, Herbert II.
Lehman, Indicate that the plight of the
Jews IN Europe is worse than any pre-
vious statement has shown.
There are today in the belligerent
countries upward of 100000 Jews, of
whom not less than 35 per cent are en-
tirely destitute and depend upon daily
relief in the form of food to maintain
life. Mr.. Lehman has estimated that

the war. or directly affected by 1t. In
which the Jews are in need, the mini

that in order merely to sustain the lives
of these people would take S62, 500. .00G

estimated that at least one-half of this
great sum must come from sources out
side of Europe itself. and as America
is virtually the only nation in a posi-
ton to extend aid, 1t should be figured
that $31 100000 annually, under present
conditions. must come from this side OF

 '.No words were too dreadful to speak and no pictures too horrible to draw. in connection with the war. Speakers of national reputation were staggered at the thought of depict ing the consequences of this world struggle.
