During the war American Jewry assumed
the task of succoring European Jewry. This
task, an honoring and honorable one, we vol
unfairly, intellectually and adequately as
sumed, and until it is completely and wholly
absolved we must devote our best energies
to it. The American community should not
think that, because the war is over, the
needs of European Jewry for our material
and moral aid and support have ceased. On
the contrary. All the reports which have
lately come out of Europe, and especially out
of Poland, evidence the inevitable fact that
these Jewries are facing a great economic
crisis. If our aid in fullest measure be not

INDIFFERENCE.

LNLlNOL.
Indifference has been source of much
harm in the world. The Indifferent people
seldom accomplish anything Educational
movements have been hampered to great
extent in many of our cities because the
public is Indifferent in the matter
Political conditions would be far differ
ent than they are if the general public man.
Tested keener interest in those who are
to be placed in public offices of trust. Ere
quently those positions are filled by persons
who have no other recommendation, but
they stand in with the political ring.
Were people in general less Indifferent
there would not be the profiteering that
there is at present. People complain, but
that is all they do. They do not make any
cooperative effort to stop it.
Most of our men are so engrossed in their
business that nothing else has any attrac-
ton for them. Indifference on the part of
the public in becoming familiar with exist
ing conditions in the field of labor and CAPT.
tai is largely responsible for the present in
dustrial unrest.
Indifference has always meant retrogres-
sion. The Indifferent people are enemies OF
progress and advancement. Indifferent
people have never built up great institu-
tions. AS long as there is Indifference on
the part of the masses, there will always be
tyrany and oppression on the part of the
classes.
Religion has been great sufferer
through the indifference of its followers.
There are many people who take no inter-
est whatever in religious matters. The only
time religion has any attraction for them
is when they are in trouble, and then they
want the services of minister as quickly
as possible.
Indifference on the part of parents to
their children's conduct has been the cause
of many of their downfalls in later years
Indifference on the part of the bread win
ners has been the cause of the poverty in
the world.
Thousands of people are digging their
own graves as rapidly as possible because
they are indifferent to the rules of health.
Indifference to those who love us is the
source of much grief to those who crave
our love.
The Indifferent people gain very little real
enjoyment in life.-The Jewish Review and
Observer.

head of the Armenian Military Com
mission. which also has been engaged
in political activities since its arrival

sion for the formation of new Ar

Armenian homes and the support Of
Armenian refugees in the Caucasus,
Persia, Mesopotamia, Syria and Egypt
The new Armenia, it is claimed,
should extend from the Mediterranean
to the Black Sea and from the Halls
to the kowia River Armenia, it is
added, should have an equal place at
the peace conference with the other
nations.
General Torcum plans to present a
similar note to the French and Italian
