Disease a Serious Problem.
The American Red Cross is treating
great numbers of patients daily, but
the effects of a three years nightmare
that killed $1,000 Jews alone in the
City of Jerusalem cannot be healed in
a year even under the best of care and
an enlightened government. Disease
is still serious problem in the Holy
city.
These are the conditions among the
Jews in Jerusalem today. ! have

Cannot Help Themselves.

Even in our own ghettos in New
York, in Chicago, in other large cities
there are Jews who are hungry, i'll,
ragged. Jews everywhere have known
the bitterness of the war. 1t is not
SO much that these Jerusalem Jews
are wretched. but they are helpless.
They cannot help themselves. They
must lean on the world Jewry's sup
port until the world Jewry finds some
means to enable them to stand on
their own feet.
Purim is coming and Passover.
Hundreds of Jews. even under the
present relief conditions. will have to
refurbish their rags and to deck their
holiday tables so as to cover their
emptiness

Military Authorities Help.

The military authorities gladly as
sist Jewish cases of need brought to
their attention, as do the American
Red Cross and the Syrian and Pales-
tine relief organizations. But there
is misery enough among Moslems and
Christians to claim their aid, when
the Jews have their own special re-
lief agency.
There are 5000 Jewish orphans in
Jerusalem alone. to say nothing Of
the 1000 in the colonies and the
other cities. Many of them belong
to the best families here. Their
fathers died in the Turkish ranks or
in the wanderings of exile to Tiberias,
to Damascus. to Constantinople I
have talked with girls whose mothers
starved to death under their very
eyes, swollen with hunger
Maj. stephen Trowbridge of the
American Red Cross told me he saw
these orphans a year ago begging in
the streets of Jerusalem. picking up
scraps of food in the roads, budding
in heaps in the muddy cutters. In
the orphan asylums today there are
children. two and three years old.

NEEDS
CONTINUED HELP
American Jews Urged Not to
Divert Aid to Other
Countries.
BY MARION WEINSTEIN.

JERUSALEM, February 70 (by
maiD There is a disquieting rumor
here that American Jewry is planning
to curtail it's relief to Palestine. The
more urgent need in the CHE ettos of
Poland is the reputed reason. If this
report is true, / wish every Jew in
America might see what 1 have seen
in the Jewish quarters of Jerusalem.
There would be no such diversion of
funds from Palestine. Somehow
enough would be found for the Polish
sufferers. And pockets would soon
he emptied for the Holy Land.
Scores of Jews are hungry in Jeru-
salem today. Hundreds are sick and
all but naked. The relief department
of the Zionist commission is giving
help to ten thousand-the irreducible
minimum. But their resources are
limited. and the problem of relief dis
tribution here would tax even greater
administrative ability than they have
been able to muster
Evening star., 1919-04-01
Work for Mere Pittance.

I have heard from British officers
that gray-bearded Jews sat for hours
last year on the roads Of the city
cutting stones for five piastres "a
quarter) a day. AS for the Yeshiboth
students, Jewry at least will risk for
the present supporting a few impos-
tors for the sake of the earnest stu
dents of the law.
Nor is there work enough for the
women and girls who clamor for it.
The few workshops supported by the
Zionist commission give employment
to 1000. most of whom do piecework,
averaging about five piastres a day.
The Red Cross workrooms offer op-
portunity for few hundred more
Fifty of the tea and lunch shops that
employed girls and women in every
nook while the '"Tommies" filed the
city have closed their doors.

Transportation Difficulties.

Finding work in the other cities and
colonies is out of the question. for
travel is next to impossible for the
ordinary civilian. Almost every au-
tomobile in Palestine is on govern
ment or official relief duty. The only
two trains that leave Jerusalem daily
are manned by soldiers for military
use. Only few civilians who have
urgent business get pecial permis-
Sion-movement OrderS"-tO ride in
the officers coach.
Meanwhile a pair of shoes or a suit
of clothes costs almost three times
the normal value. Milk is steadily
growing cheaper. but even now. when
it costs but half of what it did six
months ago. it is selling for 90 per
cent more than in pre-war days. Meat
can be bought in the bazaars of the
old city for 55 cents pound, but
kosher meat costs rs cents pound
| Thanks to the military food con-
troll. sugar and wheat and other ce-
reals have been reduced to normal
rates. For a time no sugar was per
mitted t. be shipped by dealers out
side of Jerusalem. even though Da-
mascus markets offered exorbitant
prices. Vegetables are the only foods
that are cheap. Every square is
heaped with huge caulifiower heads
