The following copy was sent to

at the front. NJ Raveau says the
litany is very popular in the trench

Nothing to worry about.

you are in camp or at the front.

APPEALS TO THE JEWS.

/ wish 10 make an appeal 10 the
Jews of South Bend in behalf Of their
100000 unfortunate brothers that
are dying of cold and starvation in
eastern war zone. The appalling sit
uation Of our brothers is unspeak-
able and unbearable, and funds must
be raised Immediately if they are to
live.
1t is also true that there are
larger aspects Of these funds than
more humanity. The Russian revolu-
ton has opened the door Of freedom
TO our people. Are they 10 die on
the threshold? Are they TO crawl
through as beggers in search of a
crust of bread? or shall we feed
them and clothe them so that they
may stand erect playing full part in
the drama of reconstruction. Not
only the lives but the liberties of
Russian Jewery are hanging in the
balance.
These half clothed and hale starry
ed brothers are looking upon the
American Jew for support. We must
give IL 10 them and we can. We have
all prospered during this war, and
we are at present enjoying all the
luxuries Of life. while our brothers
do not even know what a good piece
of bread looks like. and for this
purpose the American Jewish Re
lief has been organized in all the
principal cities OF this republic, with
such respective committeeman as:

BADLY INJURED

tOmOblle.

Mr.. James N. Kirk, prominent farm
er and stock raiser of the county, re-
ceoived very painful and perhaps SER
ious Injuries yesterday afternoon
about o'clock when he was thrown
from his buggy when near his farm
south Of Maysville, on the Maysville
and Lexington pike.
Mr.. Kinks horse scared at some Of
the machinery being used In the re-
construction Of the Lexington pike
and because Of his advanced years
and the fact that he is very nervous
he could not handle the horse when
1t became unruly. Mrs. Arthur Glas.
cock and son, Albert, approached in
a large touring car and despite theii
efforts to avert an accident the horse
backed the buggy into the machine
and Mr.. Kirk was thrown onto the
pike.
In the fall Mr.. Kirk struck his tenn
pie very hard blow and at first IL
was though that he had fractured his
skull He was removed to his home
where he remained unconscious for
some time. A physician was summon
ed and 1t was discovered that he had
broken three ribs and that his face
was very badly bruised.
Because Of his advanced years it IL
feared that his injuries may prove tc
be quite serious, but his many friends
hope that he will soon be able to be
about again.

of the quality of goods that it handles.
We would advise our readers, how
ever, to pay attention to the big bar

goods offered from time to time. Mr..
