JEWISH WAR RELIEF
 WORKERS CONFIDENT |OF REACHING GOAL
People Aroused to Needs of Europe Starving Millions. How Much Is Your
 Child WOrth?"

Greater Birmingham's sec ond week of the Jewish war re- lief campaign opens today with the workers more confi- dent of reaching the goal of S100,000 than at any time since the active campaign started.
 According to those in charge of To- cal headquartersf 40S North Twentieth street. the great mass of the people is just becoming aroused to the great need of the millions of starving hu- manity of central and eastern Europe, thousands of whom perish daily for the want of a crust of bread or some small medical supply.
 In fact. some of the stories which reach here through reliable channels and in many instances from close rela- tives of citizens of Birmingham, are of such gruesome nature that they can hardly be published. for they tell of mothers killing some of their own chill dren rather than see them die from hunger and disease; of fathers made desperate and committing acts of des- peration while insane from suffering, which in their right mind they would never be guilty of.
 ''It costs sS5 to preserve the life of one of these children for one year and look after all it's needs. How much is your child worth?" was the question asked by a Warsaw, Poland, relative in letter just received in Birmingham by one of it's prominent citizens. Re member that we are buryng them here by the houndreds now just for the lack of few little things and little some I, ;t,tr rfSl,i ,it,cr nat Af xtrhf nh have more than you know what to do with"
 Now that the team workers in the field in Birmingham in behalf of this cause have been augmented by various volunteer organizations, it is hoped that when the workers gather at their luncheon in the mems grill room at the Tutwiler hotel tomorrow afternoon at o'clock, that long step will have been taken towards attaining the goal. The campaign throughout the state lis also reported making progress, and from Jasper comes word that the non sectarian committee, which was or ganized there, will raise not less than s1000 for this cause.
 Joseph Cohen of Dadeville has sent q check to local headquarters amount ing to sSs, with a letter stating that it was raised by the two Jewish families in that town and by the non-Jews and that more will be forthcoming. In the meantime the good people of Greater Birmingham are urged not to wait until they are called on, but tc bring or send their contributions tc headquarters, 40S North Twentieth street, or mail checks to Leo K. Stein. er treasurer of this campaign for tho Birming gham zone.

tables on the opposite side of the lake. Arthur Greenwood is in charge of the food and promises to have the meal ready about 1 o'clock. The menu will consist of six kinds of meat, salads, Brunswick stew, soft drinks, lemonade and every thing else that goes to make a picnic lunch a success.

unable to get away sought the open as soon as the aftcrnon shnd- ows began to get long and thronged all parks in the down town and residential districts.
 There were no public gatherings where people squirmcd in their seats as they listened to long winded orators tell of the gIories and invincibility of the greatest nation on earth. There was little of the forced strained patriotism. But one little incident served to show the trend of the thoughts of the people.
 Nearly a thousand people were in the amphitheatre of Capitol park yesterday afternoon for the community sing and several hum dred more were sitting and rcciin- ing on tine grass about the park. The band began to play softly "The Star-Spanglcd Banner"
 There were no furtivc s1ances about by people to see what their neighbors were doing. Almost in- stantiy, every one wns on their feet, nnd stood, the men uncovered. until the last note had died away.
