Of other nationalities in every patri-

more than their share. In the United
States they gave more than 100000
young men to the army, navy and ma
rines during the recent war, great
er percentage than was contributed by
any other element of the population.
They did this freely and gladly, as
they now urge others to give help to
their people.
They are asking help because $685.

For the first time in the history Of
their race, the Jews are asking help
for their people from those who are
not of their own blood.
They are doing it because 300. 900
Jews in eastern and central Europe
(almost twice as many rs the number
Of Jews in the United States) are
actually in need of food at this NOM
ent They have nothing to look to,
TO keep them from immediate starva-
ton. except the bread lines and soup
kitchens and milk stations which
American Jewish relief agencies are
establishing. The conditions which
have left them starving and dependent
are not Of their own making. War,
which took their men, and destroyed
their trade. and devastated the coun-
tries in which they have dwelt for
centuries, and tore down their homes.
and drove many of them to foreign
lands, is alone to blame for their pre-
dicament. The problem Of 100000
starving men, women and little child
rem ought to be the problem Of all
humanity.
The Jews are asking help from the
whole United States because there are
Is 900 homeless orphans and hundreds
Of thousands Of other hungry children
in eastern and GENITAL Europe. In
Poland alone 100000 youngsters
would die il the help of the United
States were suddenly withdrawn.
Every orphanage is full. and thous-
ands of children are sleeping in the
streets, and living on the scraps they
bet by begging-barefooted little
bundles of rags. shivering and sobbing
in the wind, who have forgotten the
very taste Of white bread and milk.
Thousands of them cannot walk or
stand, long continued hunger has left
them so weak. In Poland alone Amer
lean Jewish Relief agencies fed $751;
900 of thsse youngsters during the
month Il July. ssnt $1,000 Of them to
fFssh air honass IN tie country, and
rave hundreds Of thousands Of others
milk at the milk stations. But it has
not yet sufficient funds to care for
them all. Twenty five cents will buy
for one Of these youngsters more food
than he has had at any one time for
five years. Two hundred dollars will
feed and clothe and house and school
. lad or lassie for a whole year. The
Jews of this country do not believe
that the people of the United States
will allow race or creed to weigh in
the balance against the suffering Of
little children.

WORK HAS COMMENCED on
NEW LIGHT LINE TO SEDG.

Work has been commenced on the
electric light lines to Ovid and Sedg-
wick last week. About half Of the
way is already for the linemen. The
new post hole digging machine is be-
ing put to use at good advantage and
about every minute of the day a hole
appears in the ground where this ma
chine works.
These towns are very fortunate in
having electric light which will be
furnished with power from the new
light plant in this city. They expect
to start the big new engines before
long. giving the light patrons much
better service than the old plant.
