they have lived through the last forty
years of "May-Laws," pogroms and
restriction, life that made them de-
spair of the future, that sent them by
the hundreds of thousands to the
most distant quarters of the globe,
longing and looking for some measure
of relief, and then when the future
has dawned roster than their widest
dreams, shall we leave them to fall
on the very threshold of the land of
their hearts desire?
These are the questions that should
agitate us on Passover. LET all

Seder. Aye, but if the hungry do
not and cannot come to us? Then
we should go to them.
Yes, if the hungry cannot come to
us, if the wide expanse of the sea
lies between us and those whom we
would help, let us reach out to them
a succoring arm that shall extend even
beyond the sea. Let us give that the
dying may live, that the freed may be
given new lease upon the life which
had been all too sombre and which
is just beginning to be suffused with
the rosy glow Of liberty.
So no better time could have been
selected for the renewed effort to
raise the necessary funds for the War
Sufferers than the present. Passover
with all it's memories of the past and
it's promises of the future is upon us.
Furthermore we have the most desir-
able aids to the Passover engendered

Kaiser Still Employees American
Dentist to Attend to His Teeth

Copenhagen, May 13.-Emperor
William recognizes no state of war
with the United States SO far as his
personal comfort is concerned. He
has summoned his American dentist,
Arthur Newton Davis of Piqua, O.,
to visit him at great headquarters this
week and attend to the necessary re-
pairs to the imperial teeth.
The war in general has proved
toothache to be no respecter of per-
sons and international relations and
throughout the long months of ten
sion between Germany and the United
States the imperial and royal family
and the highest officials of the state
have continued to patronize their re-
spective American dentists. Each new
crisis was marked by an almost
ludicrous rush of members of the
royal families, foreign office officials
and other dignitaries to get their
teeth attended to before the possible
departure OF the Americans. Some of
the most rabid vituperators of the
United States have been mild doves in
American dental chairs.
The emperor's personal view OF the
relations with the United States ap-
parently is the official Interpretation
of his government, which in a COM
munication regarding the continuance
of the Belgian relief works, speaks
not of war, but OF the abandonment
OF neutrality" by the United States.
Along the same lines is declaration
in the Reichstag committee by Major
eneral Friedrich, who said there was
no intention to intern Americans.

IN MOTORCYCLE
SPEEDWAY RACE
Pedersen in Hospital, Suffering
From Injuries That Are
Likely to Prove Fatal
Clarke Painfully Injured.

One man in the hospital dying, two
hurt and half dozen motorcycles
sent TO the junk heap were the thrills
for the small crowd that witnessed the
card provided by the Omaha Motor
cycle club yesterday afternoon at the
Speedway.
The ten-mile events were repletc.
with thrills, but in the Twenty-Five
mile race on the half-mile dirt track,
Carl Petersen, 35ll Center street,
coming out of the stretch turn, rode
over Clarke, who had spilled and was
hidden in a cloud of dust. Clarke was
painfully hurt. Petersen received a
compound fracture of his left collar
bone, smashed hip and internal in
JuricS. He was taken TO Emmanuel
hospital, where late in the evening it
was reported he was resting easily
and had a fair chance for recovery,
though it is probable that he will be
crippled for life. Birdie" Eulz was
thrown from his machine and slightly
injured.
One Race on Board Track.
Except for one ten-milc event, all
the other features, OF the program
were run off. The half-mile proved
too small for fast time, the riders be-
ing compelled TO slow down for the
turns, or skid the rear wheels. Most
OF the riders preferred the risk TO the
delay and in taking the skid half a
dozen spilled, and most OF them
wrecked their machines and were out
of the race. In the big event Fred
Kruger, Omaha, spilled on the twenty
first lap and junkcd his wheel, but
was unhurt.
The one-mlc motorwheel proved Of
interest though the time was slow.
