titue Jews in war-stricken Europe,
and Grand Forks will 10 have the
opportunity and privilege to take
part in this noble relief work which
has appealed to thousands Of hearts
throughout United States.
T%estifying to the nobility and unset
f1shness Of the cause, a group of prom
inent Indiana authors and other pro-
f%essional men, headed by the novel
lists, Booth Harrington and Meredith
Nicholson, have endorsed the move
ment in the following letter addressed
to Samuel e. Rauh of Indianapolis:
"As a token of our Arbitration for
ideals manifested by the Jewish peo-
pie at all times and particularly
marked in the present crisis, and in
appreciation Of the generous assist
ance rendered by. the Jewish people
