spirit"
Now that our treasury is Invested
of all the funds on hand, it becomes
imperative that we raise $1,000000 at
cnce in order to extend relief in Po-
land, Lithuania, and Galicia, wheI
the opportunity to forward the money
presents itself. There is no altern-
alive to America continuing to supply
money with which to feed the starving
Jews in these countries other than
that they die"
The committee is now left without
cent and in order to continue its
Iabors in those countries, the relations
with which are occupied by the Cen
trail Empires, money will have to be
received at once. The monthly al
lowance for specific acts of succor to
the different countries, such as the
support of soup kitchens. ETC., will be
suspended when the presence remit
tances are exhausted by the act of
the committee in stripping itself of
all its resources.
The committee has been in close
touch and cooperation with the State
Department at Washington, which has
expressed every sympathy with the
work and every desire to aid it. 1t is
the intention of the committee to do
nothing without the approval of the
State Department and the remittances
sent abroad will go through it.
A nation wide appeal for the re-
placement of the funds accompanies
tie announcement of the step taken by
the Joint Distribution Committee,
which will now redouble its efforts to
secure the full amount of the 100000
GOO, which was fixed as the goal for
1917. Jews in every part of the
United States are asked to at once
send in their contributions and pledg-
es. Local committees, having funds in
their possession, are asked to forward
them in order that there may be funds
on hand to meet the needs of the pres
ent and any future emergency.

Plans For Suffering Jews In
Europe Require More Money

Americas contributed $l66.75 to the
fund for the relief of suffering Jews
in Europe and Plains donated $16.50 to
this good cause. The work was car
ried on through the activities of the
local Jews, with a committee of DR..
Lansing Burrows, Mayor l., G. Coun-
Gil and Prof. j. E. Mathis.
Thejoint distribution committee has
sent the following announcement con-
corning the fund to this city, which
is interesting:
The sending of every dollar left of
the money collected in the United
States for the relief of Jewish War
Sufferers million dollar in all
was authorized at a meeting of the
Joint Distribution Committee, on Fri
day, leaving the treasury penniless
This action as a matter of fact leaves
a deficit which will have tC be made
I'D at once by contributions to the
funds of the three constituent COM
mittees. The American Jewish Re-
lief Committee, The Central Committee
for the Relief of Jews suffering through
the War and the Peoples Relief Com
mittee-in order to effect all the re-
mittances authorized.
The money now sent is distributed
as follows:
S225,OOO to Hungary and
Galicia.
$4,000 for Turkey and Syria.
$4,000 for Palestine including the
