PROCLAMATION

To The People OF South Carolina:
For long centuries the great major
ity of Jewish peoples have been op-
pressed politically. and in other ways
have been harassed. They have had no
nation and no home except under the
dominion of other peoples. But the
Jews have not allowed their race to
be lost despite autocracy and the un-
friendly attitude Of many OF their
European rulers Palestine. their an-
cient home, has long been under the
heel of the cruel Turk: old Russia.
where approximately half Of the four
teen million Jews Of the world resid-
ed. was none too kind to them. Auto
cratic Austria Hungary. where another
million lived. gave them small oppor-
tun:ty for scif-aSsertion. Relatively
few Jews have enjoyed the freedom
Of England or France, and only some
three OF four millions enjoy the free
dom Of the United States.
The Jews have Subsistcd in the hope
of a. better day. The dawn OF that day
is at hand for rights Of the smaller
peoples have been written into inter
national ethics But the Jews Of Eu-
rope cannot see nor attain the goal if
they are 10 be left starving and in
rags. Their plight in Poland is pitiablc.
as i: is in ether parts Of old Russia:
neither do those residing in old Aus
tria Hungary enjoy full opportunity.
Having given generously TO various
war funds, and having fought well IN
the battle lines, the Jews OF America
now ask their Gentle citizens to come
TO their assistance. They cannot alone
rescue their brothers in Europe. Then
appeal to the populace as a whole IS
a worthy appeal The world owes
much TO the jew. and to the Jew OF
today

LORD SUMNER WILL PRESIDE AT TRIAL
 OF FORMER KAISER
Allies Are Said to Have Re ceived Assurances That Dutch in Last Resort
 Will Give Up Wilhelm
By Associated Pres.

London, July 4.-John Andrew Hamilton. Lord Sumner, will preside over the five judges representing the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan at the trial of the former German emperor, according to the Evening News.
 Sir Gordon Hewart. solicitor general of Great Britain, will lead for the prosecution William Hohenzollern, it is said, will be defended by German counsel, assisted by British lawyers if he wishes them.
 The allies, according to the Daily Mail have received assurances that the Dutch government in the last resort Will not re- fuse the extradtion of the former Ger man emperor for trial.
 The newspaper says that the necessary formal objections will doubtless be raised to maintain the rights of Dutch sovor- eighty, but as the demand for his person can be made in the name of the league of nations. national rights will not be in- fringed and there is no doubt the Dutch government will be quite willing to get rid of the unwelcome guest.
 It is not considered likely, the Mail continues, that the matter will come be- fore the Dutch courts, despite certain statements at The Hague.
 The chief count in the former Kaiser g indictment, the Mail understands, will be his action in causing violation of Bel gium and Luxemburg. The proceedings will be conducted in English, but a transla tion will be made into several Ian guages simultaneously.
