aside from its pervading humaness

more than ono sense, it was the first

unsaid, there was felt between the

on thus far, did not yield that response
from the Jews Of America which it
should. 1t was during the recital of
this phase oil the work, that the most
touching incident at the luncheon Civ
en to Mr.. Atrwich, came to pass.
Norwich was telling the story of
fourteen year old boy, who walked
barefooted from Pinsk to Warsaw to
see the Jewish Relief Commissioner
from America. The boy told a pitiful
tale OF mother and older brother. both
OF whom persisted of starvation. He
was taking care Of the remaining four
little children. He wanted his father
in New York to know what has hap
pened, but would not for the world
have him know how his mother met
her death. The boys name, Norwich
concluded, was Abraham Lechowitz-
