THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

STATES. IL is my great HOlloI W
propose first that we drink to the
health Of the one man whom in this
great country of ours all, without
exception, revere, love and honor
the President of the United
States"
The diners sprang up to drink
the toast standing, while a band
played Hail to the Chief"
Mr.. Schiff recited the efforts
President Wilson had made to keep
the United States out Of war. "But
the moment at last came," he said,
when we were no longer left with
any choice, when we were confront
ed with but the alternative of
whether or not America, the great
est democracy Of modern times,
should submit the sovereignty Of
it's people to the dictation Of
a Government built upon class SUI
premacy and absolutism.
''Had we done So" he warned,
1--WE should have contributed in
large measure to the extension of
autocratic government and per-
haps the gradual perishing of gov
eminent "of the People, by the
People, for the People" among
nations of the earth, for the VIC
tory of absolutism in Europe would
in no time have led to no other
result"
r. That this nation now regards
the continuance of President Will
son in office as world blessing was
one of the first statements of Hen
ry Morgenthau to draw hearty ap-
plause.
"Many of u.s." began this speak
er, mot of the same political faith
as Mr.. Schiff and myself, did not
at the time regard the effort to
re-elect President Wilson as we did
as absolutely necessary for the
Nation, yes for the entire world.
But it was necessary and essen
tial to the world that President
Wilson have the opportunity to do
that work which he is now so ably
performing, and now l believe we
all see the necessity of his re-
election"
Duty of Jews to Give.
Mr.. Morgenthau said that it was
the absolute duty of every Jew
to give to the limit of his means
to reduce the suffering the war
was producing. 1--WE have here the
opportunity to serve the entire
world" he said, "and we must
seize it as America has seized her
opportunity to come to the rescue

Most Representative Gathering.
Probably no such representative
gathering of Jews ever assembled
in any one place as gathered at
the Savoy last night as guests of
Mr.. Schiff to do honor to Mr.. Nor
genthau and Mr.. Rosenwald. Jew
ish leaders gathered here from all
parts of America to join in the
conference, and most Of these were
at the dinner.
At conference and dinner alike
two key notes were sounded
thankfulness for the reelection of
President Woodrow Wilson, "a
world blessing in itself" and the
necessity Of standing by him and
the Nation, and the duty Of every
Jew in this country to give to the
maximum of his ability, not to re-
lieve the suferings of Jews only
in the war zones, but to relieve
sufferers of all creeds and nation
alities.
AS Mr.. Schiff, Mr.. Morgenthau,
Mr.. Rosenwald and other speakers
made earnest pleas for such CIV
ing as would arouse for the Jewish
religion "the admiration of this
nation and Of the world" the effect
was visible. Man after man came
forward with pledges. The process
sion of givers heightened, and as

STEPPED here in New York City in
an atmosphere of selfshness, an
atmosphere of materialism which
does not prevail in any other city
or anywhere else in the United
States.
81 hope my co-religionists will
take my money from me" said Mr..
Rosenwald to the accompaniment
of laughter and applause. He has
offered to give up to $1,000,000,
ten per cent of all sums given by
American Jews to war relief from
the beginning of this year until
Nov. l.
New York's Assessment,
S4,OOO,0OO.
Other speakers emphasized the
need of reaching a larger number
of the Jews in this country with
the appeals for aid, and it was
announced that the conference
would take a census of all the Jews
in the United States and divide the
country in seven districts, of which
New York and Chicago would each
constitute one district. There is to
be a chairman for each district
and for each city. The local COM
mittee of each State is to cam
paign for a stipulated amount as
sessed to each State. New York's
assessment was the biggest, being
$4,000,000. Illinois and Pennsyl-
vania came next, with assessments
of $1,OO0,00O each.
Among those invited to the din
ner beside the guests of honor
were Cyrus Adler, Adolph S. Ochs,
Jacob Billikopf, George Creel,

STUDY THIS FLY CATECHIsM.
Study 1t and You'll Save Many A
life

Study 1t and You'll Save Many A
Life.
Where does the fly live? Where
there is filth.
Is there anything too filthy for the
fly to eat? No.
Does the fly like cleangfood too !?
Yes, and it appears to be his delight to
wipe his feet on clean food.
Where is his favorite place of feed
ing? The manure heap and the gar
bage can.
Where does the fly go after leaving
the manure pile and the garbage can :?
Into the kitchen, dining room and bed
room.
Does the fly visit those sick with
typhoid fever, consumption, smallpox
and cholera infantum? He certainly
does and may call on you next.
Is the fly dangerous? Yes; he
spreads disease.
How does he spread disease? By
carrying infection on his legs and
wings and by "hy specks" after he
has been feeding on infectious ma
terial.
What disease may the fly thus car
ry? He may convey typhoid fever,
tuberculosis, cholera, ~dysentery and
Summer complaint"
Did the fly ever kill any one? He
killed more American soldiers in the
Spanish-American wal than the bull
lets of the Spaniards and was the di-
rect cause of much Of the typhoid few
er in this country last year.
Where are the greatest number of
cases of typhoid fever and summer
complaint? Where there are the
most flies.
Where are the most flies? Where
there is most filth.
Is the presence of flies, therefore,
an indication of nearby filth? 1t
most certainly is, and that is disgrace
full.
How may we successfully fight the
fly? By destroying or removing his
breeding place, the manure pile; re-
moving all garbage and making
vaults fyproof and by keeping our
yard and alley clean, by screening the
house and by the use of the wire swat
ter and sticky fly paper.
