She would have tiung herself full

stepped forward and stayed her, then
placed a tin cup in her hand. She
mumbled something in answer to his

water was warm, but it was clean and

TOO MUCH JEW"

One of the readers of the Israelite
sent it a copy of little mail order
paper published at the national Capt.
tai which contains under the caption
of "a Word About the Jews" a warm
ing against their supposed racialism
and against pushing themselves too
much to the front. In fact, the editor
complains that there is just the
slightest indication that there is get
ting to be too much Jew" The Israe-
lite is very tolerant of criticism of
this kind. 1t has yet to learn that
socially, in politics, in business or in
the professors there is any particu-
lar advantage in being a Jew. Most
people, in fact, regard it as something
of a handicap. Ergo, when Jew
gets to the front it is because he be-
longs there and his being there ar
CUES that he must have merit and
having merit and forging to the front
he only gets what is coming to him.

Jewish Palestine without affront-
ing the Young Turks, that is in
deed difficult task. Nevertheless,
the Germans have been driven to
do it. Some may read in this evil
dence of the German conviction
that, whatever may be professed
in public, the Young Turks have no
future. That may we'll be one ex-
PLANTATION, but the root of the mat
ter is probably this: the German
Government has learned in the
stress of this war that Jewish ma
tionalism is one of the vital politi-
cal facts in the modern world. No
power which wishes to be firmly
based can safely set it's future
against the future of the Jewish
nation, and no peace settlement
which denies satisfaction to the
Jewish national cause has elements
of permanence. That we take to

SPECIAL JEWISH WAR RE-
LIEF TO APPEAL TO PRESI-
DENT WILSON.

President Wilson will be asked
by special committee of leading
Jews, to consider the work of relief
in behalf of the starving Jewish and
Christian population of Poland and
Lithuania. The appointment of
committee to consist of Henry Nor
genthau, Abram l. Elkus, Julius
Rosenwald, Judge Julian w. Mack,
Jacob H. Schif, Cyrus Adler, Louis
Marshall, Alexander Kahn, Judge A.
Rasolsky, and Felix M. Warburg,
was the outcome of the Special As
sembly of the Joint Distribution
Committee, which took place Sun
day at the Spanish and Portuguese
Synagogue, New York City.
The work so far done by the
American Jewish, the Central and
the Peoples Relief Committees was
reviewed by Louis Marshall Leon
Kamaiky and Alexander Kahn, and
plans for the further raising of large
sums of money to be used in reliev-
ing the Jewish War Sufferers
throughout the world, we're out
lined by Albert Lucas, Jacob Bill
kopf and David A. Brown. The
more than one thousand delegates
to the special assembly who came
from all parts Of the United States
to listen to the urgent appeals that
they redouble their efforts in raising
money, heard cable which was sent
by the American Legation at Copen-
hagen to Robert Lansing, Secretary
of State. This appeal for relief of

the appeal to President Wilson, fol-
lows:
"The special mission from the mu-
nicipality of Warsaw has arrived
here to obtain foodstuffs for the
Christian and Jewish population of
Poland and Lithuania, whose posi-
ton is desperate. Diseases, epidem-
les and mortality are progressing
horribly-aged and children alike
often die in the streets from starva-
ton. The population of cities
whereof more than a third are Jews,
suffer. The misery of families and
soldiers fighting in the ranks of the
Entente is great.
Nothing but the creation of re-
lief organization like that for Bel
gium will save the starving, helpless
Polish Jewish population, who place
their last hope in the humane feel
ings of the noble American people,
and in their great President, whom
they implore to treat them like the
Belgians. We hope to obtain the
guarantees required by the Entente.
We have likewise prospects of Sc

Importance of these events. 1t has
always looked upon Jewish nation
al aspirations either as foolish
Utopia, or danger to Catholicism
or even as an intrigue against the
integrity of the Turkish Empire.
Not one of these is correct. We
need take no account of those who
look upon the strong Jewish ma
tional element as an absurd ITO
pia. 1t is no business of the Ger
man Empire to look after the in
terests Of Catholicism, but Incl
dentally we may say that any dan
ger to their interests is purely
imaginary. The danger to Turkey
is equally without foundation. III
onists do not at present wish to set
up an Independent state in Pales-
tine, but only to have cultural au-
tonomy as Turkish subjects, just
as the Bohemians are subjects of
the German Empire. Of course, it
must never be forgotten that it is
in Turkeys interests that the colo
nization plans of the Zionists
should materialize. Turkey is in
need Of an increase of population.
And as far as immigration is con-
cerned the facts Of the case are
such as to make only Jewish immi-
grafton Of any value. Germany
and her Allies are very closely in
terested in the economic develop
ment Of Turkey"
Summarizing the various editor
ials and Heading articles" which
have recently been published in the
German press on this subject, "Pal-
estine," the organ of '"The British
Palestine Committee" remarks:
"To those who know anything
of German life these discussions
about Palestine in the German
Press indicate a very great change.
From the Jewish point of view
Germany is the traditional home
of assimilation. It is really Ger
many which consecrated, if it did
not invent, the fiction that the Jews
are not nation but only a sect.
On the other hand, the German
Government has always shown pro-
found incapacity for approaching
the idea of nationality. That Ger
many should now become the home
of a powerful propaganda stimu-
lated by the German Government
itself in favor of including in the
peace settlement provision for a
Jewish national center in Palestine
is something like a revolution in
