II Is highly significant fact that many Of those who
sympathze deeply with the Jewish war sufferers have
not waited for the bazaar TO come that they might
contribute through e. AS result OF interest aroused
through personal solicitation and public meetings more
man $4,000 already has been subscribed 10 the fund
