Jamas he visto mayor dispari.

Para unOs "The Bonds of Interest"
es una obra de verdadero merito
y digna de figurar al lado de las

epocas; para OtrOs es una media
nla,una de tantas Qbras de come
que pasan mas 0 menos inadverti-

Iparecer despues de una existencia
efimera; Y para OtrOs, ell fin, es
.simplemente un ensayo de come

Representatives, estudiantiles de
las universidades. En- un solo de-
talle convienen todos: ell la esplen

Naturalmente los concentrates

WILSON In APPEAL
President Gables to Chas. Dill
lon a Word for Campaign.
Jewish h-Armenian Drive Not Al
feeted by Appropriation.

= The 0-million-dollar appropria-
ton which President Wilson has asked
of congress for furthering the relief
work in Europe is not to take the
place of the funds to be raised for
the Armenian-Syrian relief next week.
Definite advice to this effect was re-
ceived by Charles Dillon. director of
the Jewfsh-Armenian relief campaign
ment from the president, who en-
phasizes the necessity for the raising
of this money at once. President Will
son cabled the following statement:
THE appropriation asked of con-
gress for handling food relief is not
intended in any way to take the place
of the subscriptions being asked for
relief and rehabilitation in the near
east. 1 hope that this subscription
will not in any way be interrupted or
reduced. The need is immediate and
very great
