The Jewish Relief Campaign

Citizens of Wayne county will have an oppor
tunity within the next days to contribute to the
Jewish Relief Campaign, which seeks to save
from starvation and misery six million Jews IN
Poland, Lithuania, Galcia, Russia Palestine and
other countries. Unless aid comes to these people
at once they will perish in increasingly large
numbers.
The American Jewish Relief Committee did
not share in the United War Work Campaign.
The Jewish Welfare Board did, but this organiza
ton ministered to the Jewish sailors and soldiers
of America. The present campaign is to relieve
the civilian populations of Europe, Palestine and
Siberia. It's function is entirely different from
that of the Welfare Board.
The Red Cross is not equipped to do this work
1t has no organization in Russia, Poland and Gal
icia; it is unable to cope with the peculiar institu
tional and racial problems that are presented; its
officials state that the relief should through
Jewish organization, acquainted with the needs,
and capable of applying methods to bring effect
i've relief.
The committee must raise thirty-five million
dollars to keep these people from perishing. All
money is to be expended by the joint distribution
'committee of the American Funds for Jewish
War Sufferers. The cost of the campaign will
not come from the contributions that are made.
fOno wealthy new 1Orkef mas CeIrdyoQ the en-
tire expense. The money needed by the local
committees for organizing purposes will be fur
nished by him, SO that the full amount of the
contributions will go directly to the sufferers.
The Jews themselves have given very lber-
ally to this cause. The extent of the calamity,
however, is beyond the capability of one race to
cope with it. The Jews gave unstintingly to
every cause that was presented during the war.
They did not stand back but came to the front
with generous contributions, paying no attention
to race or creed. The condition of their people
in the Old World is so chaotic and replete with
misery and woe that The American Jews cannot
of themselves supply all the relief that is neces-
sary.
Wayne county has never turned deaf ear to
appeal for relief. Here is cause that is fully
worthy of our benevolent instincts and our gen.
erous disposition to help those who cannot help
themselves. 1t is appeal to feed and clothe
and women who are doomed to death unless
a sympathetic world needs the call. Misery and
woe challenge the sympathy of every man, irres-
pective of his calling, station or race. Our city
and county will do itself proud by contributing in
generous measure to the cause.
IF every citizen of America who has been
somewhat directly the beneficiary of Jewish phil
anthropy should now come forward and help the
american Jewish Relief Committee says George
AIDE, 1.-The necessary funds would be ready tomor-
row. They should come forward'

London Doctors Eager to Examine

OF course you have heard of Datas,
the human encyclopedia-the man
who can memorize and reel off dates
quicker than the fire OF a machine
gun the nan on whose head the doc
tors have placed a price of $4,000?
"But / am not anxious to sell it yet
for dissection" Datas told q writer
for London Tit-Bits the other day.
1T is worth more to me than $4,000"
Datas has lately been d~evouring
war facts and had just added a couple
Of thousand In two and a half hours
to his repertoire when we met.
"For an outlay of twopence," he
said, II bought a little book on a
bookstall, called Two Thousand Facts
About the War I bought 1t and read
the list through in two and a half
hours and then knew it by heart"
There Is nc doubt about it. I test
ed Datas with the book in my hand,
and no matter what question 1 asked
him-dates Of battles, air raids, names
Of ships sunk, famous generals ca
reers-he answered them without hest
tation, says the writer.
Datas has had many amusing and
curious experiences, but the most ex-
t%raordinary vas the friendly dinner he
shared with John Lee, the Babbacombe
murderer, and the late James Barry,

n stout fighter the lad was, welding
his cutlass viciously, so that we held
them, with dead men littering every
step TO the cabin deck.
But they we're Of q breed trained to
such fighting, and the lash of Manuel's
tongue drove them into mad reckless
ness. And there seemed no end Of
them, sweeping up out Of those black
shadows, with bearded or lean brown
savage faces, charging over the dead
bodies, hacking and gouging in vain
effort TO break through. | struck until
my arms ached, until my head reeled,
scarcely conscious Of physical action,

there is no other way to the deck.
Rush 'em! That's the way! Here
you-go in outside the rail! Broth Of
hell! Now you have him, Pedro!'
For an instant l believed it true; I
saw Jim Carter seized and hurled side
ways, his cutlass clashing as it fell,
while a dozen hands dragged him
headlong into the ruck beneath. But
1t was only an instant. Before the
charging devils could pass me, a huge
figure filed the vacant space, and the
butt of a gun crashed into the mass.
1t was the Dutchman, Schmitt, fight
ing like q demon, his strength that of
an OK. They gave way in terror be-
fore him, and we went down battering
our way, until the stairs were clear TO
the deck, except fer the dead under
foot. When we stopped, not a fight
ing man was left within the sweep Of
our arms. They scurried back into the
darkness like so many rats, and we
could only stare about blindly, cursing
them, as we endeavored to recover
breath. Schmitt roared like a wild
bull, and would have rushed on, but
for my grip on his shirt.
"Get back, men," l ordered sharply.
'"There may be fifty Of them yonder.
Our only chance Is the stairs"
We flung the bodies on one side, and
formed again from rail to rail. Below
us there was noise enough, a babel of
angry voices, but no movement Of as

magic. At last l had him against the

upon it that the stout wood broke,
and we both went over, graphing I'M

disloyalty OF my own men. A dozen OF
