to reach its desired destination.
All Of the members Of the committee
sang the praises OF Mr.. dupont for his
magnanimous gift Of $4,000 10 this
campaign. Mr. dupont was so i'm
! pressed with the necessity for giving
literally to this campaign said Mr..
Snellenburg. che is so big so broad and
so liberal that TO us he has given the
same amount that he contributed last
year, although there are so many other
pressing demands at This time. We
can't appreciate his kind act too much. ."
Referring to Mr. duPOnrs gifts.
Chairman Miller said. 1T isn't how
much man gives. Il Is the spirit in
which in which he gives H. And I
have never seen more willing spirit
than that with which Mr.. dupont gave

Emphasis was laid on the fact, last
night. that this is the last time that
ihe Jewish citizens Of Delaware are 60
ing to call on the people Of This State
for war relief and that in the future

liboral as possible.
Messages Of good VIII and sympathy.
as well as subscriptions, were sent by
Mr.. and Mrs Otho Nowland and Gen
eral James H. Wilson.
Chairman Miller brought home a
thrill when he questioned: "How would
you Jewish families OF Delaware like
TO have to take one each OF the orphan
children OF our brethren. in Europe
into your homes and rear them? That
would cost something, wouldn't it?.
How else can we hope TO save these
stricken mites. then, II we don't send
them our money!"
Rabbi s. A. RablnOwitz, secretary OF
the committee. already made a stir
ring appeal to the workers in which
he announced that the Jewish residents
OF Delaware had already given twice
the amount they gave in the last Jew
ish relief campaign, as showing that
Jewry in Delaware has aroused a fun
appreciation of the fact that the need
today is much greater and The purch-
asing power Of the dollar much less
than It was when the last campaign
was conducted.
