Much Of the trouble which III be-

methods which prevailed In govern
expenditures during the war.
Governmental expenditures dominated
theStndustrtal situation, and they were
metstn n main by the use of credit

private business cannot be carried on
in that way.
Even more OF the present trouble

and aid was furnished to those in need
of it.
District No. 2 undertook to build a
home on the cottage plan for or
phans and friendless children on an
S5-acre farm, we'll situated, near Erie,
Pa. Ground was broken on Sept. 30,
1918, and the first set of buildings
was completed in June, 1914. Much
credit is due the District for that I'M
dertaking and especially to the men,
bers Of Erie lodge. 1t is expected
that when all the buildings are COM
pleted, the home will be able to take
care of 500 children.
The District has inaugurated the
holding of religious services in refor-
matories and penal institutions.
The B'nai Birth statue of relig-
ious liberty in Paramount Park,

knowing that it was due to them and
to the enthusiasm Of Los Angeles
Lodge that the establishment Of that
Home became possible.
On February 16, 1913, District No.
4 celebrated the fiftieth anniversary
Of its establishment.
The Hebrew Orphans Home at AT.
lanta, established by District Grand
Lodge No. s, celebrated its 25th an
niversary in March, 1914. A move

which is to place the Home on safe

Of the Order in America by wire to
solicit donations for the sufferers
and cabled a similar request to the
European lodges. As a result of the
appeal, s25,6lS.09 was contributed by
the American lodges. This amount
was forwarded to Presidents Of Dis
trio Grand Lodges Nos. 9 and II, to
be used by them for the relief Of Jew
ish war sufferers. Incomplete reports
show that the European Grand
Lodges contributed an additional sum
Of s12,1s1.O0.
In March, 1918, several Of the
states in the United States suffered
from tornado and flood. We prompt
ly wired $4,000 to Nebraska and
H,500.00 to Ohio, and were prepared
to forward much larger sums, but a
nationwide collection was taken up,
which was sufficient to cover existing
needs.
On August 4, 1914, the great war
that was to unrest the world broke
out. Appeals for relief soon came
from Austria and Russia. A collec-
ton was started by the lodges in the
United States and by March 81, 1915,
100000 had been forwarded for War
Relief.

sentation tending to injure Jewish
reputation. It has a department for
social work, realizing wisely the need
Of caring for Jewish delinquents.
Above all, it has acted as the peace
maker in American Jewry. Certain
of its own position, of its record Of a
beneficent activity spreading over
seventy-five years, the Order can af-
ford to put its own private interests,
if it has any, aside and on all Deco
sions not to seek glory for itself, but
for the welfare Of the house of Israel.
True to its traditions, 50 soon as
this great American nation entered
into the war the Order made clear its
unequivocal position on the side Of
the sacred duty and privilege of pa
tr'ctlsm. It set in, motion an or.
ganization for attending to the needs
of the Jewish soldier and sailor. For
the time being, the ties that unite
Israel, and also our Order, throughout
the world are necessarily severed.
When the time for reconstruction ar
rives the organization of the Order
will step into the breach, to heal and
restore, to minimize the after effects
Of this world catastrophe, to watch
over the fate of our brethren in all
lands where their civic status in an
te-bellum days was unsatisfactory,
and to help in the solution of many a
problem which will present itself.
At the beginning of its career, so
today, on reaching the seventy-fifth
anniversary of its birth, the Order
knows no other cause than the welfare
of Israel for the sake Of humanity;
it sides neither with conservative nor
with radical, neither with Zion nor
with anti-zionist; it welcomes them
all to its ranks, as brothers is a COM
mon cause, as professors of the same
ancient faith.
Institutions founded and supported
by the Order in the United States
are Hebrek Orphans Home, Atlanta,
Cd; B'nai Birth Ce netery, chicago,

Immediately after the great storm
in Galveston in 1900 a fund Of over
$4,000 was contributed by the men,
bers Of the Order throughout the
United States. This fund was raised
in a few days and relief was almost
immediate.
After the devastating holocaust
that visited San Francisco not many
years ago the B'nai Birth was the
rehabilitation and relief started in
stanter.
