Londonderry, Ireland, June 23 (By the A. P.).-The outside world has little idea of the reign of terror Londonderry has been experiencing without respite since Friday last. The casualty figures from day to day are alarming enough. but they picture only the shadow of the grim reality. The truth is none of the 10000 inhabitants nas been safe since the rioting began.
 The city is virtually controlled by ex- tremists of the unionists and nationalists. who probably number under five hundred. They fire volleys down the streets with out warning, and apparently without req son, and the citizens are thus put in a state of continuous panic, sallying forth only when the procurement of food be- comes absolutely necessary. Many shop keepers have suspended business and have taken refuge on the top floors of their premises for safety.
 Men who are compelled to be in their | offices sleep there rather than risk step ping into the streets.

The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1920-10-29

AS soon as the political cam
paign is over, the campaign for
the raising of the Community
Fund for 1921 will commence. 1t
is the duty Of every Jew in this
community to contribute as lib
orally to this fund as his means
allow, for from this fund all Our
charities and benevolences will
be financed. The Community
Fund is a saving Of time, energy,
and money to every citizen. 1t
means one subscription at one
time instead of several subscrip-
tions at different times. Let this
one subscription, therefore, be
adequate. Let it be the equiva-
lent of your several contributions
in the past. And let no one con-
slider himself exempt. The Jew
ish principle is that even the
poorest of the poor must give
something to charity. Let us be
as Jewish as the best Jews ever
were; and let us be as American
as the best Americans are.
