GERMANS HELD BACK JEW
ISH CHARITY FUND.

Zurich, Aug. 24.-A person who
recently arrived here from Germany
states that in the occupied Russian
territories there has been serious
strife between Jewish organizations
and the military authorities.
In order to ameliorate the terrible
position of the Jews in Poland and
Lithuania societies of German Jews
collected large sums of money, which
were sent for distribution to the
sufferers last year. The military
authorities refused, however, to part
with the money for several months.
When the Jewish organizations in
Germany learned what had occurred
a heated protest was addressed to
the Government, which was made
to understand that German Jews
would make reprisals unless matters
were rectifed. The Government
then ordered the confscated money
to be released and distributed among
the famished Jews.
The affair has produced a very
painful impression among the whole
of the Jewish population of Ger
many.

Washington. = Mortified By the

United States Sept. 81 called upon all
allied and neutral nations to consider
what they may do to impress upoo

Text OF the State Departments in

This government Is In receipt OF
Information from reliable sources re-

openly avowed campaign Of marked
terrorism and are subject to whole

are filled beyond capacity and every
night scores OF Russian citixens are
rscklessly put to death. and irrespon.
sible bands are venting their brutal
passions in the daily massacre Of un-
told innocents.
I'm view Of the earnest desire Of
the people Of the United States to b.
friend the Russian people and lend all
possible assistance in their struggle
to reconstruct their nation upon prin-
ciples Of democracy and selfgovern-
msnt and acting therefore solely in
the interest Of the Russian people
Themselves. this government feels that
It cannot be sileno or refrain from az
pressing it, horror at this state Of
terrorism. Furthermore II believes
that In order to check the further In
crease Of the indiscriminate slaugh-
ter Of Russian citisens all civilized
nations should register their abhor-
renee Of sdch barbartsm.
You will inquire. therefore. wheth-
er the government to which you are
accredited will be disposed TO take
some immediate action which 10 en-
