IN MEMORY OF AN HEROIC
TEWESS.

At the memorial meeting held in
New York City recently in honor
Of Rose Kaplan, the heroic Hadas-
sab nurse who died at her post of
duty at the Jewish Refugees Camp,
at Alexandria, Egypt, unique mon
ument to perpetuate her name was
begun. Miss Kaplan had always
deplored the necessity of treating
the Jewish children of Jerusalem
suffering from trachoma, in their
homes. Time after time she i'm
plored Hadassah for funds to pro-
vide these unfortunate children with
hospital treatment. But Hadassah's
resources compelled reluctant de-
NAL of her plea.
At the memorial meeting Miss
Henrietta Sold, head of Hadassah,
made an appeal for such fund, and
in few minutes over 5000 was sub
scribed to the "Rose Kaplan Mem
orial Fund.- and additional subscrip-
tons are expected.

WAR FUNDS.

New York.-The campaign by
which 100000 is to be raised in

Jewish War Relief Committee and
the Jewish Welfare Board, working
among soldiers and sailors, was

at the Astor by Jacob H. Schiff, the
Chairman of the committee. In the
campaign carried on the country
over since April IS somewhat more
than 100000 has been raised so
far, little more than a million of
which has come from New York
City.
The present drive is an effort not
only to raise in New York City
alone in the next, two weeks a sum
sufficient to carry the War Relief
Committees total over 100000,
but to add to it million dollars for
the work of the Jewish Welfare
Board, which is co-ordinating the
religious and social service for Jew
ish sailors and soldiers.
To show the vigor with which the
teams are going to take hold of the
work, the diners proceeded to open
the campaign by pledging over a
million dollars themselves. The
largest gift of the night came from

Local Christmas Business Reeor,Is

the Last Three Days.
SHOWS PROPHECIES ARE WRONG
War Conditions Have The Opposite
Effect on Holiday Giving Than
Was Predicted

Despite all prophecies that war
time depression and economy and
conditions would reduce the amount
Of giving this Christmas. the business
of the Rock Island postofiice on
Christmas eve shows that the 1917
Yuletide exceeds ali former years.
The business Saturday, Sunday and
today practically doubled all former
records. Since Dec. 10, two weeks
ago today. there has been a steady
stream Of outgoing holiday mail at
the local postofitee. People mailed
early this year, and it was thought
at first that the ssual heavy final
rush OF work would be lessened.
However. the last three days have
proved couclusiyely that the giving
this years greatly exceeds that Of
former years and that the war has
had practically no effect on the Christ
mas spirit of remembrances.
Since Dee. 10, when the holiday
business started to become heavy,
there has been handled through the
local postofiiee 1888 outgoing parcel
post packets 6,25l on Saturday alone,
or about ten tons. On Saturday 81 900
Christmas cards and letters, mail dis
tinetIy separate from the regular com
mercial business, were handled. Dur
ing the week beginning Monday of
last week and including today, there
has been received and delivered in
Rock Island and at the arsenal $4,000
parcels or about sixty tons. In order
to handle this business on Saturday
and yesterday five automobile trucks
were used and today an extra one was
put in the postal service. The effect
of the holidays has also been shown
in the money order, registry and stamp
divisions.
Force Is Good Natured.
Postmaster Simpson today attribu.
ted the successful handling of mail
to the spirit of cooperation and good
nature of the entire force of postofice
employees. He spoke in high praise OF
the assistant, the heads Of divisions and
the entire force of clerks and carriers.
/ He declared that the regular forcs,
with the addition OF Is substitutes
handled the work and that thus far
not package was left not dispatched
