Movement.
"The Serbian people has the same
ideals as the Jewish people since
freedom for any nation and equality

ever been the principles of the Ser

our brethren and I wish to en-
phasize that the realization of the
ideals of the Jewish people would
be greeted with enthusiasm and
great joy on part of the whole Ser
bian nation"

TURKISH JEWS NOT ENEMY
ALIENS IN ENGLAND AND
GREECE.

The British Foreign Office has
given another proof of IT'S cordial re-
1ations with the Zionist Organiza
ticn in London by granting it au
thority to recommend Ott''man sub
;ects Of Jewish nationality for en-
emption from the restrictions ap-
plicable to Alien Enemies. An order
in Council has been drafted giving
effect to this arrangement. The
same ruling has been made by the
Greek Government with regard to
the Jews of Sa1onica. This will be
especially helpful to those Jews who
suffered from the great confagra-
ton "a year ago, the payment of
whose policies were held up by in
surance companies on ground that
they were enemy aliens.

TRAGEDY ENDS PICNIC
PARTY.

Chicago Thirty-two young peo-
pie, some of the members of the
Zion Literary and the Onward clubs
were congratulating themselves on
their choice of the day to hold pic
mic. A motor truck conveyed them
to their destination at Foss park,
just east of North Chicago.
They started their homeward
journey late in the evening tired but
happy after day of pleasure. Filled
with the patriotic spirit of the times
and with a thought of the many of
their comrades in service they hailed
Jackie" P. Brennan, who was on
his way back to the Great Lakes
and offered him Gift"
Shortly afterwards as they were
passing the entrance to Fort Sheri-
dan at the north gate road crossing
of the trolley track the truck was hit
by train on the North Shore Elec
trio. The crash tore the rear wheels
from the truck and sent it with it's
occupants spinning around, after
which it overturned into a ditch.
Those killed were Jackie" Bren-
nan, Sarah and Irving Julius, 245o
Montrose avenue, and Hyman Myer,
1914 West Fifteenth street.
Of all the other members of the
party, none escaped without injury,
some more seriously than others,
but only ten were able to proceed on
their homeward journey that night.
The others were taken to the Fort
Sheridan base hospital where they
are being treated by army doctors
and nurses.

RED CROSS MEMBERSHIP
Letter from the Publicity Chairman,
w. c. Belknap

Editor of Caledonian:
1t has come to the attention of the
state organization for the American
Red Cross Christmas roll call that the
Red Cross is being criticized for
making all memberships begin with
January / and end with December 81
of each year. Heretofore it has been
customary to take memberships at
any time during the year. During
the past year in most places there
haze been two or three canvasses to
boost the membership and some are
asking why they are being asked to
renew now
There are at least two good rea-
sons: The Red Gross needs money
and needs it now; and again the mem
bership has become so enormous,
some 22,000,O00 in the United States,
that bookkeeping must be simplifed
as much as possible. Having all
memberships begin and end at fixed
dates helps the situation. All who
have joined the Red Cross since Sep
tember 1 last have been made mem
bers until January /, 1920. All whose
membership expired between January
/, 1919, and September i, 1919, are
asked to disregard the small amount
they have contributed to a good cause
and renew now. The need is great
and the call urgent. When the real
| situation is understood very few will
object to contributing the extra 25
or so cents represented by their un-
expired membership. Had there been
no war and were there no suffering
in Europe, no doubt the Red Gross
would be willing to make its new sys-
tenn of bookkeeping begin with Janu-
ary /, 1920, instead of January /,
, 1919. But there has been war the
greatest in history, and the call for
service among the people of Europe
is insistent, must be backed with
money
Let Vermont add to it's laurels of
leadership, by one hundred per cent
membership in the Red Gross.

Office, has returned from Boston,
where he attended a conference upon
the supply Of fuel which comes to the
New England states, and it is prob
fable that III the next few days there
Twill be sent to the coal dealers new
regulations concerning the reduction
in the shipment of coal to Vermont.
| For the first eight months of the coal
year Vermont, as well as the other
New England states, has received
some 8 per cent more per month than
this state is entitled to, so that for
fthe months of December and January
the shipments to Vermont and the
other New England states will be
reduced below the monthly allotment.
which is about 27,500 tons a month.
The state has been getting quite a
little over its monthly proportion.
The only thing that the dealers. who
have been telling there would be
plenty cf coal, can do now is to pray
for warm weather. while families will
have to conserve on their coal supply
a great deal
