page condemning the propaganda di- rected against Britons and Hebrews.

 fought and died; has given volun- teers of ability in every depart ment of war work; and now in postwar times, is carrying on charitable work of stupendous magnitude in remedying famine conditions in the war-ravaged countries of Europe.
