falling into line to assist In the cam
yaign which is to take place in Septem-
Ter to raise funds for the starving
millions of Jews In Europe's war zone.
Now that Americans are visiting the
stricken districts and are bringing
back reports of scenes they have wit
messed, the truth of the unending mis-
cry touches us closer:
Bernard Horwich of Chicago. special
delegate to Poland, of the Central Re
lief committee comprising New York's
Jewish Orothodoxy, who went there.

tution Committee, told tales of woe

oratorical establishment. the story.
aside from its pervading humancss
was lined and interlined with Jew
ishness convincing and sincere. In
more than one sense. it was the first
real message of sorrow from Jews to
Jews. 1t was during the recital of this
phase of the work. that the most touch
ing incident, mt the luncheon given to
Mr. Horwich. came to pass. Mr.. Hor-
wich was telling the story of four

Jacob Billikopf, who went to Poland
as a personal investigator on behaif
of Felix NJ warburg. and other mem

near Midtown for a few moments and
the trip continued to Mineola where
the fight was continued for several
minutes before a landing was accom- .

seat in the machine that was origin

this place, the promise being made
that a fight would be given the per-
son who would claim the seat when
the fight was ready. The machine
