! FOR SUFFERERS
FROM THE WAR

Hardwig l.. Peres of Memphis,
chairman of the Tennessee State
Jewish Relief Committee, has is
sued the follow appeal of the war
sufferers OF Europe:
"When, in 1864, the first large
group Of Jews landed in New AM
sterdam now New York City they
promised Governor Peter Stuyves-
ant that they would look after their
own poor. That promise has been
faithfully kept to this day. In ad-
dition to this, it is the history of
the Jewish people in their growth
in this country, that they have a.
ways contributed literally to every
charity when called upon, irreepec-
tive of nationality or creed,
eve are now, for the first time in
our history, making an appeal to
our non-J Jewish friends in the
United States of America, to aid
as in ministering to the needs Of
our destitute people in Eastern aud
Central Europe, where hundreds
are without food and clothing and
where homes are destroyed. A
large proportion of these are help
es s little orphan children.
"Our nation wide campaign for
$35, ,000,000, which is now rapidly
nearing completion, is not only to
feed and clothe these suffering ones,
but also to rehabiitate their homes
aud energies in order that they
may become self supporting and
thus make them free from the call
of kindly charity.
"We feel justified, in measure,
in calling upon you at this time,
by reason of the following facts
which are so closely related to the
humanitarian work we are now
doing.

one-third Of our funds are used to
meet the needs of these non-Jews.

by our Government, the Jewish
people responded with patriotism
to the extent of millions of dollars
"3. The Jewish people gave more
than 100000 jewish men to the
American army in response to the
call of the President, and thous.

Change Name.

A greater city is what East Mo-
liners want and if the suggestion
made at a meeting in the CONNER
cial club last evening is approved
they will get what they want. As
result of invitations sent out a
week ago, delegates from Hamp-
ton, Carbon Cliff and Silvis met
with East Moliners in the East Mo-
line Commercial club and discuss
ed plans for a greater city. The
suggestion made last evening was
that the three small cities combine
with East Moline, making it one
large city. The delegates approved
the suggestion and all promised to
get the people whom they repre-
sented to vote for the project. In
case the citizens of the three small
cities favor the suggestion the
combining Of the cities will take
place and the name changed. A
supper followed the plans for the
greater city.

TRICKS HILL TO
BE % FEET WIDE

Moline board of public improve
ments yesterday afternoon adopted
plans for the paving of Tricks hill
and reduced the width from 30 to
% feet. The decrease was made
partly as a concession to property
owners and partly because the
highway on the hill which farms
the southern inlet to Moline is
very narrow. An embankment wall
probably would have had to be
erected had the board adhered to
the 30-foot scheme.
This project goes long way to-
ward ending a nuisance that has
troubled drivers for 10 years or
more. If voters and officials of
Moline and South Moline township
respond to the plea of city officials
the rest of the hill, amounting to
about two hundred feet, will also
be paved. DR.. w. f. Taylor, in
pleading for the entire hill project,
declared the rocky road has cost
Moline merchants thousands of dol
lars in lost business.
