who .ame into our life was taken
froni Us. AS I stood by its grave this
morning. I thought Of the hundreds
of thousands Of little ones lying in
graves in the war stricken nations OF
Europe as a result, not OF parucu-

ing Jew Three years ago as Jews,
we raised 100000; two years ago,
we raised $4,000, 600; last year. we

become so great that we cannot face
IL alone. We must ask aid do not
know what has come over FL Paso

right TO come TO us who have ample

want TO hurt anyone, but must say
TO my own people that We have not
done our duty. When I looked over
the list Of subscriptions. 1 found
firms and individuals that have not
contributed according TO their ability.
They need 10 be told plainly OF their
duty and should double their dona-
ton

most literally towards every cause
that has been brought forward and
find in this cause that our nouJewish
friends have not reciprOcated in the
work as they should I want TO see
US get together and do what we
should IN this cause"
