JEWISH RELIEF
WORK ON TODAY
Interesting Meetings Hello
Yesterday by Rabbi
Sternheim.

Several committees are today call
ing upon the citizens Of Grand Forks
for the purposes of soliciting funds
for h American Jewish War Relief
commission, following a very success
full meeting held yesterday afternoon
at the city hall where the aims of the
national organization were discussed.
Sig Wolf was the chairman of the
meeting, and the invocation was said
by Rev. Jonathan Watson. Then
Mayor Dinnie extended the welcome
of the city to the special representa-
tive of the Relief commission, Rabbi
Emanuel Sternheim of Sioux City,
Iowa, who delivered an address about
the relief work prepared and carried
on by Americans for the benefit and
aid Of Jews in the war-stricken reg
ions of Europe. Rabbi sternheim
emphasized the fact thai the work
was not charitable in the accepted
sense Of that term. He considered it
a duty and a privilege that Americans
have an opportunity to help men and
women who formerly had been pros
porous but who, through the terrible
misfortunes of war, innocently had
been deprived of all they owned
their homes, their business, their en-
ployment. The rabbi announced that
a number of men had volunteered to
raise n tenth of the s10,0 co. 900 now
being sought for the relief fund, and
also that local Jews had come forward
offering to subscribe one tenth and
n fifth Of the total subscription of
Grand Forks which, it is hoped, will
total $4,000 of which nearly one half
has been raised among Jews in this
city.
Other speakers at the interesting
meeting were President F. L. McVey
Of the University of North Dakota,
Dean Vernon F. Squires, Rev. w. H.
Elfring, Rev. n. J. Lohre, Tracy R.
Bangs. and Max Rabinovitch.
II: all the local churches a telegram
from Henry Morgenthau and other
supreme officers of the American
Jewish War Relief commission was
read to the congregations announcing
tina: the Grand Forks meeting would
be held in the afternoon. Last night
Rabbi Sternheim was the speaker at
a union service held in the Baptist
church. lie had taken for his topic
The Reconstruction of Religion for
Humanity, land outline his thoughts
Of a wide application of religion to
the vital humanitarian problems of
the day.

Camp.
Civilians Eagerly Watch
Preparations to Leave
Seaport.

A French Seaport, July 9.-This city
was astir today at the prospect of the
impending departure of the American
contingent for it's permanent training
camp. Major General VIM. L.. Sibert
has completed all arrangements for
moving them. The general himself
will leave by automobile and will take
up quarters already prepared in a
village somewhere in France" which
will be within hearing of the German
guns If not within direct range.
The troops were enthusiastic today
at the prospect of getting several
miles nearer real action and hailed
vociferously the prospect of an early
departure. The town took a vacation
to visit the camp. The residents had
heard only the vaguest rumors about
the troops leaving, but did not venture
to lose opportunity to see the Ameri-
ans. The camp adjoining the sea-
port was filed with civilians who
eagerly watched their preparations to
leave.

Then they went for walk at
