solemnly protest in season and out Of
season against this premeditated use
Of the Jewish people as a scapegoat,
this cold-blooded planned attack on
the folk Of Christi"
Will you rise in your Christianity
and stop what might result in the day
of panic here as it has in many other
countries and times in awful car
mage and massacre?
Will you revise your teachings Of
the death Of whom whom you wor-
ship as Savior and we honor as among
the greatest Of Gods prophets that t
be nearer in accordance with cur
knowledge Of histody and show the
Romans as the executioners, and that
there will not be planted at the very
beginning Of the career Of the little
Christian child the seeds Of hatred anG
distrust Of the Jew?
The challenge is: Either Chris
tianity follows with faithful heart
the lowly Nazarene, or it does not;
either Christianity only lisps love
without really feeling it, or it really
practices love. What will the verdict
Of history be on this episode? VIII
there be heroes in the Christian pull
pits Of America today as there were
in other days who will dare to speak
the truth, though It will be unwel-
come to many; who will again dare to
preach a real Christianity, the Chris
tianity Of the man Of Galilee, who
loved truth and practiced love?
The servant Of God, wounded and
crushed, falls beneath the load Of
suffering. Where is the Good Sa-
marian?

used: "The federation of persecution,
whether social or political, based on

Challenge to Christians.
It Is therefore a challenge to the
Christian pulpits Of America. Are
they ready to fight that form of the
devil as they are any other form Of
anti-C hristiaity? That is the chal-
lenge to you who believe with all your
hearts in the man Of Galilee and in
his teachings Of love and gentleness

Christian pulpits do with all the pow

Will you, after clear proof, brand
these documents a brazen forgery?
The Christian in England has done so.
Will the American Christian, even be-
latedly, do so?
Will you brand as an outrageous
lie that there exists body, either in
name or in purpose, such as the
learned elders Of Zion, especially II
the solemn oath is given you by Is
raels spiritual leaders, as I now give
here, that no such body exists, nor IS

Refugees.
1.-THE tragedies in the refugee GEN.
tiers, such as Vienna, Prague, Press
burg, Kashau and 0strow are inde-
scribable. The scenes Of 1914 are re-
peating themselves. The refugees
come into these cities from Poland,
Galicia and Hungary without clothes
or money. They have no place to
sleep. Were it not for the help that
the Joint Distribution Committee ex-
tends to them in these places, by
feeding them in their kitchens, and
in some measure providing places Of
shelter for them, inadequate as this
may be, their situation would be des-
perate.
"A great deal has been said in
America about constructive relief;
while constructive relief must take
the place Of immediate relief wher-
ever it is possible, one thing is GER
tain-that in these refugee centers
immediate relief means the saving Of
thousands and tens of thousands from
starvation. One who has seen the
misery Of the refugees in these GEN.
ters as ] have cannot think Of giving
up the kitchens or of providing them
with shelter and clothes.
"The Joint Distribution Committee
in Vienna is really a model institu-
ton, and its director, Mr.. Wechsler,
deserves great credit for the manner
in which the relief work has been or
ganized.

Poland resulted in q reign Of terror
against the Jews that exceeded any
thing they had experienced until
then; although, when mobilization
was ordered in Poland, the Jews re-
sponded readily and enlisted as vol
unteers in the defense Of Poland, they
were nevertheless attacked by the
Polish soldiers at every step. In the
army they were Inundated and de.
graded. They were not given an op.
portunity to fight at the front, but
were given the filthiest mental work,
such as cleaning letrines and sew
age, and were not given implements
with which to work. In the course
Of their work, they were frequently
beaten and insulted Jews were beat
en- and assaulted in trains and on the
streets, and things came to such a
point that they decided no longer tc
use the streets which were frequent
ed mostly by non-Jews. After ths
first Polish victories, the Jews were
driven into concentration camps, as
in the city Of Jablono, where 5000
Jewish soldiers were held practically
as offenders.
when the Jewish deputies Green
baum, Hartglass and Prilutzki went
to the Ministerium they were prom
ised that something would be done
to change the situation, but nothing
was done. A Jewish deputy in The
Polish Diet, Perlmutter, while on Lis
way to the government offices, was
twice attacked on the streets. In a
number Of cities that were entered
by the Polish soldiers, Jews were shot
Unfortunately, on the pretext that
they were Bolsheviks, although II was
wholly untrue. Jews in Poland re-
gard the situation as utterly hopeless
and have come to the conclusion that
emigration from the country is their
only hope to escape from the fortunes
they are undergoing.
Hungary.
Hungary, where there are prob
ably 700,000 Jews, is a tragedy all by
itself. There they have stopped max
ing mass pogroms, but daily some
Jew is found murdered or horribly
mutilated. Between December Of
1919 and June Of 1920, 800 Jews are
known to have been murdered, and,
what is worse, laws have been enacted
and continue to be enacted which
threaten the complete ruin Of the
economic existence Of the Jews there.
Laws are passed which require all
persons engaged in industries (refcr-
ing to those in which Jews are en-
gaged) to obtain licenses before they

SUSPENDED PAYMENT IN CASH
How British Government Saved the
Situation When Country's Financial
Solvency Was Threatened.
(To BE CONTINUED.

In the great war which England COM
menced with France in 1893, the first
four years saw f400,000000 added to the
national debt, without any material
advantage being gained. SO much coin
had left the country for the payment
of troops abroad and as subsidies to
allies that the bank, during 1896, be-
gan to feel difficulty in satisfying
demands made on It, At the close of
the year people began to hoard coin
and to make runs upon the county
banks. These applied TO the Bank of
England for help, and the consequence
was that run upon it commenced in
the latter part of February, 1897 This
great establishment could only keep
itself anoat by paying in sixpences.
Immediate insolvency was expected,
when on February z6, the government
stepped in with an order in council
authorizing the notes Of the bank as
legal tender until such time as proper
remedies could be applied. This sus-
pension of cash payments was attend
ed by the usual effect of raising the
normal prices Of all articles.

MonnoIians Great Meat Eaters.

Inhabitants of Mongolia are great
meat eaters, living in some cases ell
tirely on mutton. It Is not uncommon
for q Mongol to consume ten pounds
of this meat at one sitting. He also

they are as good as mutton. The Mon
col puts mutton fat in his tea, which
is prepared with milk from the poor
est grade Of tea, pressed into bricks.
He drinks enormous quantities of this,
80 cups day being no uncommon
amount for an adult, The natives eat
whenever opportunity comes, there
being no regular meal hours.

few wells along the caravan route
furnishing the entire supply. During
tn winter and spring the camel is
the only animal that can cross the
desert and subsist on the dried
ND grasses. At this season of the year
blocks of ice are carried for water
supply, and in other seasons two large
tubs are carried on each camel, one
tub on each side.
