Eight leading New York rabbis have
issued an appeal to the Jews of Amer
lea to divert their present Passover en-
thusiasm into the channels for service
opened by the Liberty Loan campaign
The appeal says in part:
"The festival of liberty which Israel
is now celebrating is most appropriate
as the inspiration Cor the great cam
paign on behalf of the third Liberty
Loan, which will be launched on the
coming Sabbath.
"The Rabbinate of New York, repre-
senting every element of Jewry, has
asked it's colleagues all over the coun-
i try to seize the glorious opportunity
make an appeal to their colleagues on
behalf of the Liberty Loan.
American Jewry sees in the titanic
world struggle our country's cham
pionship of liberty, righteousness and
| democratic citizenship, given with a
matchless hospitality to men of all
races, as against a military system
based on political absolutism, deity
ing might and trampllng right under
foot and seeking with racial pride to
dominate the world and discredit the
ideals of self-government and the de-
mocracy of peoples.
WTha wa1fara of O11r dear country
and the holy memories of the divine
word of redemption which began on
the first Passover and will be COM
pleted with the Passover of re-
deemed humanity, our Americanism
and our Judaism, make us enthusiastic
on behalf of our country's cause and
confident in its triumph.
Asks for Deeds
"Let us prove our patriotism by
deeds. Thousands are laying down
their lives. Let those who cannot
make this supreme sacrifice at least
help America in this crisis with their
money. Urge your people to give
without stint to the loan, so that
American bonds may assure the de-
struction of the bondage among men,"
This statement was sent out under
the signatures of the Revs. Drs. Sam
uel Schulman, Moses Hyamson, Joseph
Silverman, Bernard Drachman, M. s..
| Margolies, Elias Solomon, H. Pereira
Mendes and Ephraim Frisch.
At meeting at the Broadway Cen
trail Hotel yesterday representatives of
every branch of Jewish life in the city
pledged their wholehearted support to
the government in it's appeal for sub
scriptions to the third Liberty Loan.
Unstinted aid was also pledged YES
terday by the Retail Dry Goods Asso-
citation. Every device of publicity
which the advertising stats of the
leading stores can think Of will be used
by this branch of the Liberty Loan
Committee, it was announced Windows
in department stores and unoccupied
stores are to be decorated with Lib
erty Loan displays.
The sweep Of the growing desire uf
every element in the community to do
its part has broken down the prejudice
of the exclusive clubs to Advertising
displays in their rooms, and, accord
ing to the Liberty Loan COMMITTEES, thu
posters and banners of the campaign
will receive display for the first time in
the Union, Union League, Racquet and
Tennis, Colony. Yale, Harvard, Co

terion, Knickerbocker, Harmonic and
