Y. M. CAMPAIGN OVER
Topeka Didn't Reach Her $4,000 War
Work Quota.

The war work campaign was closed
Tuesday night when the Topeka CAM
paigners met at the Chamber of Com
merce and reported on the final sub
scriptions.
Kansas oversubscribed her quota by
more than S1.5o0, and subscriptions
are still coming in to the state offices.
In Topeka, too.-a great many contri-
buttons will probably be sent in this
week. With the close of the cam
paign in Topeka, Kansas has done her
bit for the association finances.
The national total of the associa-
ton campaign was oversubscribed by
more than a million dollars. passing
the 100000 mark by a good mar
gin. Topeka. however, fell short of
her apportionment by nearly $3.50,
reporting a total of sS,614. The To-
peka district also fell short of it's
$4,000 goal Oversubscriptions in
other parts of the state carried the
work far beyond the $4,000.
Following is a report given Tuesday
night at the closing banquet of the
local workers:

text book used in new course in

sor M. M. Kaplan, of the Jewish

religion and receive credit for their
degrees at the same time.
This course is continuation of
the course given by DR.. Kaplan in

courses were first introduced at the
suggestion of the Jewish Forum of

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WOMAN TAKES
HERSELF TO ACCOUNT
BY Mrs. Jacob Harris.

ourselves the question, what are we
doing to help our war-strlcken Jew
ish brethren. And let us dare to
answer as the group of Minneapolis
women dare to answer themselves:
1--WE will henceforth set new STAN
dard of life. We will not judge a
mans prosperity by the costllness
of his wife's clothing, nor by the ex-
travagance Of her parties, but we
will Judge him by the amount ne
gives to save the starving. We shall
take our pleasures, for pleasures
make for life, but we shall take them
inexpensively. If we vie with one
another it shall be in praise of the
good and simple. And instead Of
loud applause we shall promote the
quiet neighborly hour that feeds the
spirit.
"And finally we shall not spend,
however great or small, an amount
without asking ourselves if we must
spend it. 1t we must not we shall
be honest with ourselves and give
that amount not spent to the end
that the starving may eat. Seven
cents day will save human life.
We shall try to save as many lives
as at least our superfuities will al
low"
Each woman who thinks this ideal
worth while can become a mission
airy for the cause of humanity by
acting upon it herself and by get
ting ten other women to live up to
the IDEAL Thus there will be formed
a chain of happy and cheerful Civ
ers that will lend strength and cour-
age to the men and women intrust-
ed with the great relief work.

A group of Jewish women in Min
neapolis have put before themselves
the question, "What are we doing
to help our war stricken Jews OF
Europe?"
The women of the warning ma
tons noble and common alike, felt
as soon as war broke out that much
of their country's welfare depends
upon them. Without hesitation
they abandoned extravaganza and
frivolities and put their shoulders
to the Wheel The world now stands
amazed at their display of genius,
zeal, bravery and endurance.
America has en- oyed the blessings
of peace and with peace unprece-
denied prosperity. AS American
citizens we Jews have shared this
peace and prosperity, till we are now
estimated to possess greater wealth
than do all the rest of the Jews of
the world together.
But while as Americans we are at
peace, as Jews we are at war, for no
less than 100000 Jewish soldiers
are fighting and dying in the trench
es. These represent from 100000
to 100000 war stricken Jews.
Belgium, nation of 100000, suf-
fered and all the world came to the
rescue. But the Jews have virtual
ly only their American brethren to
help them. But these, though richer
than all the rest of the Jews of the
world, have given less than the Jews
of Moscow alone. In simple terms,
the American Jews thinking them
selves very liberal, have given 81 90
a year per capita since the war be-
gan In other words they have
given as much as their average child
spends for candy in a month.
Thoughtless selhshness, pure and
simple, has been their rule. In the
face of suffering and privation such
as history has no record of, the Jews
of America are indulging in extrav-
agances so fragrant that our non
Jewish neighbors are beginning to
notice and to "talk''
Let us ask ourselves, if not as a
people, at least as women, for it is
we women, let us be truthful, who
set the standard of life true or false,
let us ask ourselves what we are
doing for those who are martyrs to
the Jewish cause. For we cannot
help hoping that this hell-hre may
melt the iron hearts of the rulers
of the world and they may provide
us, the worlds step-children with a
x-oof ,.za con ca1l o11r OWN

The late banker had a brief career
in the army. After obtaining COM
mission he had the utmost difficulty
owing to anti-Semite prejudice in
securing admission to any regiment,
thanks to the practice Of allowing
the officers to ballot candidates for
admission to the commissioned
ranks of the regiment just as if the
latter we're club. Finally, through
the pressure which the old emperor
and Bismarck were able to bring to
bear, he was attached to a cavalry
regiment. But his service was rem
dered unpleasant, and his pride was
continually wounded.
The late flnancier's only sister
was compelled to submit to very
similar treatment. Her father had
employed Countess of Schleinitz to
chaperone his daughter, and as the
countess was a great favorite at
court, and had been lady in wait
ing to the old empress, she was quail
flied better than any one else for
the task. By strenuous efforts the
countess got the daughter of the
banker invited to ball at court, the
late emperor ordering her name to
be put on the list, in the face of the
manifold objections of his encourage.
The dress in which the girl ap-
peared at the entertainment was of
the most gorgeous description. But
the men present declined to dance
with her, and the ladies passed her
without any sign of recognition.
Finally the old emperor's attention
was attracted to her, and, indignant
that any one should be treated thus
beneath his roof, he made his way
to her side, spoke to her most cour-
teously and sympathetically,. and
then summoning one of the military
dignitaries present, gave him per-
emptory commands that several of
the officers of the guards should ask
the girl to dance.
They were obliged to obey. But
as each of them came up in turn to
ask her for a dance they addressed
her as follows: "Most gracious frau
lein, by order of his majesty, the
emperor, I have the honor to ask
you for Dance whereupon the off,
Ger in question danced once around
the room with her, then bowed and
withdrew. That was the only court
ball she ever attended and she never
repeated the experiment. it,
The climax of humiliation, how
ever, came to her at the time Of her
marriage. By an enormous dover,
she was enabled to capture penni-
