GREAT NON-SECTARiAN DRIVE
FOR $4,000, MAY 1926, FOR
RELIEF OF JEWISH SUFFER-
ERS IN EUROPE.

BY far the most gratifying feature
OF the great statewide campaign in
Arkansas to raise $4,000 during the
week of May 1926 for the Jewish war
sufferers in the war zones of Eastern
Europe is the instant response ON the
part of Gentle as we'll as Jew to the
appeal for help in organizing the
campaign. In every section of thu
state workers in previous campaign
OF all kinds have instantly offered
their services. Many of these offers
came unsolicited. There is no more
ly non-sectar1sn character Of the
drive. Arkansas gives practical
proof Of the slogan. Humanity
knows no creed"
This demonstration is all the more
remarkable for the manner in which
the women in many sections insisted
upon having a part in the drive and
In forming, practically within a few
hours, organizations of workers led
by the leading women of the respec-
tive communities.
The drive is part Of a nation
wide campaign to raise S35,00O,0O TO
relieve insofar az is now possible the
sufferings of race of people caught
in the maelstrom of the world war
and whose restitution can not be full
ly told in words Starving millions
call upon America for help. Hereto
fore, since the war started, relief has
been given the Jewish people in Rus
STA, Poland, Galieia. and other sec
lions of the near east by the Ameri-
can Jewish Relief Committee, but the
money has been raised by subscrp-
tons from Jewish people alone. Now
the need Is so great and the demand
so urgent that an opportunity is
being extended to all people 10 give
as their conscience dictates.

The State of Arkansas has been
