GENTIlES join
Jews IN CAMPAIGN
Great Non.Sectarian Drive For
S208, 900, April I'll, For
Relief OF Jewish SUI A
ferers In Europe

BY far the most gratifying feature
OF the great statewide campaign in
Kentucky to raise S2OS,OO0 during the
week Of April I'll for the Jewish war
sufferers In the war zones Of EASTERN
Europe is the instant response on the
part of Gentle us well as Jew TO the
appeal for help in organizing the CAM
pa,gn. In every section of the state
workers in previous campaigns Of all
kinds have instantly offered their serv-
ices. Many Of these offers came I'M
solicited. There Is no more splendid
demonstration of the entirely nOn.sec-
tartan character Of the drive. Ken
lucky gives pract zeal 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 drive and in
forming, practically within few
hours, organizations of workers led by
the leading women of the respective
communities.
The drive Is part of nationwide
campaign to raise $3j,OGO.OOO to relieve
insofar as is now poss bic the suffcrings
of race of people caught in the mael-
strom Of the world war and whose des-
tituliun 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
lsh people in Russia, Poland, Galicia,
and other sections of the near east by
