GENTILES join
Jews IN CAMPAIGN
Great Non-Sectarian Drive For
$208, 900, April Iii, For
Relief Of Jewish Suf- :
ferers In Europe

By far the most gratifying feature
of the great statewide campaign in
Kentucky to raise S2OS,OOO during the
week of April III for the Jewish war
sufferers in the war zones of Eastern
Europe is the instant response on the
part of Gentle as well as Jew to the
paign. In every section of the state
workers in previous campaigns of all
ices. Many of these offers came un-
solicited. There is no more splendid
demonstration of the entirely non-sec-
tartan character of the drive. Ken
lucky gives practical proof Of the slo-
gan, Humanity knows no creed"
This demonstration is all the more
remarkable for the manner In which
the women in many sections insisted
upon having part in the dive and in
forming, practically within q few
hours, organizations of workers led by
the leading women Of the respective
communities.
The drive is a part Of nationwide
campaign to raise $35, 100000 to relieve
insofar as is now possible the sufferings
of race of people caught in the mael-
of< nd
titution can not be fully told in words.
Starving millions call upon America
for help. Heretofore, since the war
started, relief has been given the Jew
ish people in Russia, Poland, Galicia,
and other sections of the near east by
the American Jewish Relief Commit
tee, but the money has been raised by
subscriptions from Jewish people
alone. Now the need is so great and
the demand so urgent that an Oppor-
tunity is being extended to all people
to give as their conscience dictates.
