MEETING OF JUDAEANs.


Elkus, Dr. Boris D. Bogen and Rabbi
Jacob Kohn were the speakers of the
evening at the meeting of the J"daeans
last week, at the Hotel McAlpin. Mr..
Elkus. in speaking of the Jews in Eu-
ropcan Turkey, called attention to the
fact that the ottoman Empire is n
melangc Of nationalities, each of which
has preserved its own religion. GUS
toms and institutions and has sue
cumbed to Turkey only in giving to
it n political allegiance maintained by
force. The main body of the Jews
of Turkey nre descendants of Spanish
cxilcs and preserve traces Of their
ancestry in their appearance. dress
social customs and Language.
"The Spanish Minister" Said Mt,
Elkus. remarked to me that the Grand
Rabbi. Chain Nahoum. spoke the pnra
Spanish of Ccrvantcs."
The poverty Of the Jews of Turkey
during the war was "unbelievably hor-
rible." Bodies of old men. women and
children who had died during the
night of simple starvation. were found
on the streets every morning. Thru
all their sufferings. the Jews mnin-
tanned their pride For bowl Of
soup and piece of bread to serve
for two or three days. old men, women
and children waited for hours in the
long soup, lines without murmur of
complaint at the long wait or at the
amount doled out to them. The Jews
of Turkey expect and hope that the
war will at last bring to all Jews
everywhere equal rights and freedom
from oppression.
Mr.. Elkus told also an interesting
legend to the effect that shortly after
the Spanish exile. there lived in
group of houses built about hollow
square in one of the main streets of
Constantinople. number Of so-called
secret Jews" who had outwardly pro-
fessed the Mohammedan faith. hut who
secretly observed all the traditions OF
Judaism. They had subterranean
synagogue in the middle of the square.
in which they conducted regularly
Jewish religious services. These "se-
cret Jews and their descendants
welded great influence. Several per-
sons. high in government circles. were
pointed out to Mr.. Elkus as being mem
hers of this group.
Dr. Bogcn smoke about the efforts
Of the Joint Distribution Committee
to establish machinery in Holland and
pra iscd most highly the zeal of n gro,ln
of Zionists of the Hague. He said that
only about twenty-five percent of the
Jews of Poland were even partially
self-supporting and that the remain
ing seventy-five percent were depen-
dent upon them and outside help.
Rabbi Kohn spoke very Interestingly
of the eagerness of Jewish soldiers at
the front to hold Jewish services dur
ing the High Holidays. One of the
boys gave him this reason: you see.
at home it's up to Dad. hut here we've
got TO remember we're Jews"

their days of gloom and oppression
have passed. But for the Jews in
these lands, we are deeply concerned
They form. and IN NIL probability tley
will form. the great majority Of the
Jews of the world. Unless and until
they have secured the rights enunci-
atcd in the governing principles of this
Congress. the lofty aims that guided
our victorious army will not have becr
achieved. 1t was not alone to secure
the rights of smaller nationalities for
which the Allied forces went forth joy
fully III these great battles. 1t was
also to free the world from OUTRAGE
and oppression. from internal strife
and struggle. and to establish democ
racy and Justice for all men and all
people. Even in these days of solemn
rejoicing the smothercd cry Of tho
stricken Jew comes forth. Death and
