week. This took in all of the North
Side school districts in the i'm
mediate vicinity, our Talmud Torah
auditorium being used for the pur-
pose on account of the big moving
picture apparatus installed by the

A class in Zionism and Jewish
History was started by the Ladies'
Auxiliary late last winter which will
be continued this winter, and great
deal of enthusiasm was shown by
the women and their husbands who
attended this class.
When the Canadian Recruiting
Mission began enlisting our boys for

raised by individual subscriptions
"since we have no right to use Tai

fort kits for the Jewish Battalion.
A Talmud Torah Thrift Stamp
Club was formed last year, and dur

Late last year, with the assistance
of Mrs. Markley, at that time Chair

coming year, classes in civics, Eng

conducted.

AN ENLARGED SPHERE FOR
THE ASSOCIATED JEWISH
CHARITIES.
BY Julia I. Felsenthal, Supt. A
ciated Jewish Charities of Mi
apolis, MINI.

PerhapS nothing Will as Clearly
illustrate the change in the theory
and practice of social work as the
recent Governmental legislation for
the welfare of dependents of soldiers
and the care of disabled soldiers
after the war. The present provi-
sions for insurance, compensation
and after care, are as far beyond
those of the Civil War, consisting of
Pensions, Soldiers Homes and
Homes for Soldiers Orphans { y as
is the magnitude of the Great War
compared with the war of '61.
The service rendered today to
families of soldiers under the aus
pices of the Home Service Section
for Civilian Relief, Red Cross, with
it's trained executive secretaries and
it's large group of trained volunteers,
is an illustration of the method I'm
der which, the Associated Jewish
Charities ought to develop its work.
The Jewish population of Mime
apolis is not large enough to war
rant the establishment of special
agencies, such as, Jewish Hospitals
or Orphanages, Working Girls
Homes, etc., and it devolves on our
organization to give not only relief
according to present day standards,
b11t to do much more.
We must, as soon as our many
J busy women are relieved from the
exigent work they are at present
engaged in, secure their cooperation
and interest in our own handicapped,
in our victims of industrial condi-
TONS If provisions are made in our
army for instruction, wholesome en-
tertainment and recreation in camp
and cantonment, no less does it de-
volve on us to throw out community
safeguards which shall make our
relief work somewhat less necessary.
Let our young men and women fit
themselves to become leaders Of
clubs and classes, both educational
and social, for the young and for the
adult, so that we can Conscientious
ly say that we are giving not only
relief but preventing delinquency;
that we provide not only for the
temporary needs of the body but
that we help to prepare our young
people for wholesome family life.
It is not implied that others are
not equally interested in achieving
this, but we must all work together

The extent Of the material loss which
Germany has suffered by the destruc-
ton Of the Grieshetm factory can thus
be easily comprehended. But the DIS
aster is Of still wider significance. The
variety of the materials formerly pro-
duced means. IN such a closely inter-
locking industry as chemical manufac-
ture. that every concern in Germany
Is affected, both from the cutting off of
supplies, which many Of them formerly
drew from Griesheim and from the ne
cessity of making the loss Of those
supplies good from plants already
working to their maximum.
The deaths of scores Of trained work
men and specialists in the factory itself
and IN dwellings within It's confines
will make the task of coping with the
deficit all the more difficult. Even If
the material loss can be successfully
replaced the problem Of collecting mis-
cellaneous quantities Of explosives and
acids from various quarters and con-
veying them over the greater distances
thus made necessary is bound ~ com
plicate further the transport Difficult
tv already regarded exceedingly press
ing IN Germany. It IS imposs' bic that
the works can be reconstructed during
the war, and sooner or later Germany
must show on her fighting fronts the
effects Of this staggering blow which
she has suffered within her own terri
