Jewish Relief

OhNhOOAAs
To the People of Mississippi:
1t is hardly necessary for me
to remind you that the people of
every country overrun by Germ
J any and her Allies have been
! subjected to great cruelty, priva-
ftion and suffering. Famine has
stalked rampant in Lithuania,
Russia, Poland and Galicia and
the Jews in these countries
have been subjected to
every indignity, outrage and
persecution. They have been
permitted to starve, to go insult
ficiently clad and have been
ground between the upper and
neither milestone of both friend
and foe. No words can ade-
quately describe the oppression
to which he has been subjected.
Jerusalem, The Holy City has
been taken from the Turk after
centuries Of occupation and re-
stored to civilization. The Jew
has been a wanderer on the face
of the Earth, yet no race born
of the centuries has been more
law-abiding, liberty-loving or
patriotic. He has fought for
freedom and liberty under every
flag.
A statewide campaign is
planned for the purpose Of rails
ing funds to aid the THOUSANDS
of suffering and starving Jews
in Russia, Poland, Galicia and
Lithuania. So comrnendable is
this and so deserving Of our en-
thusiastic support that |, Taco.

those sections where they have
been the innocent victims of a
ruthless war. The Jews have
contributed literally to every
drive for Liberty Bonds, War

A Soldiers Memorial

LII 1OAU lil0TG Was pldlISu OIl
the bleak New England shores
by the Pilgrim Fathers who
were in search of a place where
they could worship God accord
ing to the dictates of their own
conscience where none would
dare to molest or make them
afraid" and where they could
exercise that God-given right of
self-government, a precious seed
called Liberty"
In 1852 another was planted
when the great and fraternal
heart Of William Penn, that
able exponent,of the truth that
"all men are created equal" inn
peeled him to establish a home in
the wilderness for himself and
his misunderstood and unjustly
treated brethren.
And still another was planted
on our southern shores in 1888
when that good and noble phi
lanthropist, James Oglethrope,
established, as it were, a tCity.
of Refuge" for the persecuted
poor and unfortunate Of England.
These sseeds, together with
others Of. the same kind planted
from time to time in this New
World, terminated and came
forth and in this responsive soil
and congenialclimate grew and
developed into strong, healthy
and beautiful plants until there
were thirteen.
But, alas! in 1776 these noble
plants were threatened with al

the struggle for life and free
dom which followed these thir-
teen plants became knitted into
one mighty tree, the Tree Of
Liberty, which has sent its roots
deep into the heart of the New
World" and sent out branch af-

branches give shelter to more
than 100, 600, 600 children scat

Whereas, again in 1917, the

more brutal, and more blood

heritage was sounded the de-
