Dor, both female and male is more or

Our plan would be to buy an ex-

Europe, Doing Their Best

Z Nineteen million dollars so far has
lheen expended for Jewish relief work
in Poland. Russia, the Balkans. Pales-
tine, Turkey, France, Belgium and
Holland. This is shown in the
first composite postwar report of the
Jewish Relief Commission, which was
made public yesterday in statement
issued by Felix NJ. Warburg, chair
man of the joint distribution commit
tee.
Poland. Lithuania, Courland and re-
lated territories have had by far the
largest appropriation, amounting to
s1O.SsO. 900. Palestine, Turkey and
Asia Minor come next with S3,S19,9S0,
and Russia and Siberia third with ST.

mania have had 1851 400, Greece s112,-

land. for relief Of Jews in internment
camps and maintaining work in Scan
dinavia, $4,000.
Mr.. Warburg in the statement &C
companying the financial report en-
phasizes that the time is not yet ripe
sfor constructive work in the regions
devastated by the war. The first
necessity, he says, is relief from
starvation and appalling conditions Of
restitution. Food and clothing remain
the supreme requirements.
People Want First to Live
"Some people" Mr.. Warburg adds,
talk of national rights. A man who
just came back from Europe said with
tears in his eyes: Nurse the people
back to health and living conditions.
They are not interested at this mo.
ment in getting any special privilege.
All they want at this moment is to
be able to live. If they can live let
them work out their own problems as
they know best.
This is the state prevailing in prac-
tically all countries" Mr.. Warbure
continues. This condition faces abou

cided it is necessary to close the
school, at least temporarily.
Ever since its establishment the
school has been conducted at a large
financial loss. To continue, even on
the present level of efficiency, means q
large expenditure to meet the annual
deficit. This can no longer be carried
by the general funds of the university
which have been greatly reduced by
conditions brought about by the war
In addition, much higher degree OF
achievement is imperatively necessary
if the school is to maintain a rank
worthy Of a great Catholic university
Many earnest but unproductive eff
forts to obtain funds have already
been made. These efforts will be con-
tinued and, if successful. the School
of Medicine will be reopened.

town and downtown subway tracks Of
the B. r. T. The stream is visible
from any of the platforms Of the

cording to engineers this water is
the same which fed Collect Pond and
