JEWS OF BRIDGEPORT ASK WILSON TO FIND THE GUILTY AND PUNISH
 THOSE WHO MASSACRED THE JEW

country, true to its traditions, history, nature, will not permit it. The Jews always have been ready to stand to- gether and assist in any worthy cause. They have been persecuted and bent, but never broken, and so long as there is any civilization anywhere it cannot be broken. All the Jews ask for is justice, law and order. The United States is great because it has adopted these principles, and follows them. Equal protection, laws, equal respon- abilities and equal opportunities are given the Jew or Gentle, black or white. in these United States. Our beloved president will not allow these European atrocities to be carried on. The Jew stands for all that is won derful in society, for education of the young, for protection or home---and so long as the Jew stands for these principles, he cannot be destroyed. Uncle Sam is the best speaker in the world, He forces the nearer to listen and to understand and when he refuses to understand, he administers a little bit of American medicine, and that is the medicine Galicia, Poland and Roumania will get.
 Now, I ask you to lay aside your selfishness and do not believe you
 have performed your duty by pass
 ing resolutions. Contribute to those who need it and be prepared, if
 necessary, to give yourselves. We want justice and we are going to get it. peaceably. if we can; and if we
 cannot, we will get 1t with our
 lives.'
 Rev. Alexander Alison, Jr., was in troduced as the Bridgeport speaker and he expressed the sentiment of the
 Gentiles in the occasion which prompted such d meeting. He was greeted with thunderous applause by the appreciative audience and he was cheered several times. He said that the Jew is not only entitled to justice but also to the friendship of the en- tire world. He gave an optimistic picture of a bright future in store for the Jew and said that all the Gentiles protested with them against this butchery.
 T ask to apologize for a so-called Christianity which expresses the Jewish people," he asserted, we do not want you to change, we want you as you are" In closing he expressed the sympathy of all the Gentiles in the city against the pogroms.
 Telegrams from Governor Holcomb, United States Senator Mclean and Congressman Schuyler Merritt, eX- pressing regret that they were unable to be present were read by MT. Sha- piro. The resolutions adopted were read at the close of the mee ting. The resolution calls on the government of the United States to use it's good onces In putting an immediate stop to the massacre of Jews in Poland, Rumania and Ukrain1a, to take steps to prevent a recurrence of pogroms in those countries and to bring about the punishment of those responsible for the atrocities.

FINE EXHIBITION
 AT ST. JOSEPH'S
Artistic Work of Drawing and Sewing Departments Attracts Many-Progress of Work From Third to Eighth Grade Represent ed.

A most interesting display of em- broidery, needle work and sewing, forms the chief attract at the an nual exhibition of St. Joseph's Paro- chia1 school, at 45 Madison avenue which opened on Sunday. The work performed in the sewing department by the pupils of the school, is most remarka ble and worthy of notice. Attractive centerpieces, scarfs, pillow cases, pincushion, and towels repre- sent the work of the pupils from the third to the eighth grade.
 Especially worthy of mention is a handsomely embroidered American flag with the word Liberty" in blue silk in one corner, which forms a beautiful pillow case. It was made by one of the eighth grade pupils and is so well done, that it has been framed and has the place of honor in the needlework room. Sister F'e- licitas is justly proud of the remark able work performed by the students and is confident that the results are appreciated by the pupils as well as the Sisters of the school.
 Another attractive display has been arranged which shows the pro gress of work in the penmanship and drawing departments. The perfect ness of the majority of drawings in crayon, water color, and paint is most remarkable. The blending of the water colors in the painting of fruit is especially well done, and the cray
 on work is both artistic and beauti- full.
 There are drawings of tunnels. lighthouses, trolley tracks, country scenes, furniture, houses, and interior rooms, all of which are an excellent representation of the accomplish
 ment of the artistic work in the school. The years work stands out
 most prominently in these depart ments and the pupils are most de- lighted in the fine appreciation eX- pressed by their friends and rela- 1 tives.

One of the largest gatherings Bridgeport has ever witnessed took place at the Lyric theatre last even ing when every Jewish man. woman and child attended the protest meet ing against the massacres of the Jew ish population in Poland and other European countries. The remarka- ble gathering was also one of the most impressive seen in a long time. since a note of sadness seemed to penetrate the very interior of the large theatre hung with bands of mourning. The orchestra. too. played music in sad and thrilling strains during the intcrmission of the speakers.
 Since yesterday afternoon the Jews of the city joined in the mourning of their fellow brothers on the other side. Business was suspended and services attended at the various syna- gogues, which finally culminated in the huge meeting in the evening when eloquent speakers of note made stirring addresses. urging Pres ident Wilson to see that the princi- ples the American people had fought for had not been in vain. Resolu- tions to stop the posroms in Europe were unanimously adopted by a rising vote.
 A note of patriotism ran through out the meeting when America" was sang heartily, followed by the Jewish national hymn, "Hatikvch." Charles II. Shapiro introduced the first speaker, one of the most learned Jewish scholars of New York city. Reuben Breinen, who addressed the meeting in Hebrew. He cited the outrageousness of the Poles in the J,s~ md appealed to the world 10 outcry against it.
 we gave the world the oldest principles of religion, human rights, sacred thoughts. Our youths entered in the fight of democracy as any other youth of any other nation. He fought and bled as any another brave soldier. fighting for righteousness. And now what does he get ID return? Why should he be murdered? Be cause he is a Jew?
 "The Jew, who wants only national political and manly riEhts-the pro-. visions of a civilized world. should be murdered. massacred. and denounced. say. we must protest! To the Jews of America I appeal. to the Jews here, who are given all the freedom and rights. to you I appeal. to ask demand - righteousness, democracy and liberty" he said in part.
 Attorney Benjamin. Slade. of New Haven, was the principal speaker of the evening. He said that all the Jow wants is justice. and if he can not get 1t peacefully. he will be oblig- ed to get it forcefully. Attorney Shade, who had lived in Russia at the time when pocroms were numerous, cited many incidents of those occur rences and depicted the tragedy of those times. He said he was speak ing in two capacities. first as a plain American citizen and second as a rIain American Jew.
 His appealing address in part was as follows:
 ''I ask civilization. and particular ly America. should this be permit ted? America entered the war to preserve civilization. to preserve democracy, to remove nnilitarism, to destroy Kaiserism, to destroy brutal ity. We all performed our duty. shed our blood, and helped in the accomplishment of our aims. The Jew participated in the fight for justice. He fought and bled. And now they rob the Jew, wound the Jew and kill the Jew.
 Those conditions cannot exist. This
