To JEW RELIEF
Quota Of $4,000 Expected To Be
Raised In This Community,
Says Rabbi

most generous response to the ap-
peal for European relief made on
the day of atonement," said Rabbi
Baron today. They have given not
IN accordance with what they can
afford, but IN proportion to the
magnitude of the need Many Jews
have not yet been heard from, but
I am sure they Will get in touch
with tho treasurer, Joseph Deutsch,
before the week is over and give in
the same spirit as those who have
already responded. Non-Jews as
well as Jews may, OF course, help
this community to reach the quota
of SIS 600 for this most hunani-

A total of Sic, 021 has been rails
ed up to the present time. This
money will be used to engage in
reconstruction work which Will
provide a means of ultimate self
help TO four million Jews in east

sessions during the war and the
subsequent pogroms; to feed and
educate 100000 orphans who lost
their parents during the upheavals
of the last seven years; to repa-

escaped with their lives from Eu-

SIR ARTHUR PEARSON
BROWNS In BATHTUB
internationally Known for
His Welfare Work Among

London. Dec. ..
Sir Arthur Pearson, Bart. who Tor
years was one OF the most prominent
personalities in Fleet street. who had
been blind since 1914 and became inter-
nationally known through his welfare
work for the blind, was found dead to-
day in a bathtub in his residence IN
Devonshire street with his head under
the water. A deep wound over his
temple indicated that he had siippeo
and in falling his head had struck the
water tap, rendering him unconscious
though death was probably due to
drowning.
Sir Arthur awoke at o'clock this
morning and chatted as cheerfully as
ever with a servant. Since he had been
blind he had kept no valet because he
said he believed that personal, servant
would be a stumbling block in the path
toward blind efficiency, and for the
same reason he also discarded his walk

Sir Arthur often guided others who
we're blind, and once in heavy fog
he assisted a British officer who was
fed up with the beastly country be-
cause he could not find his way. He also
devoted money and time TO Fresh Air
Fund for children and other philan-
thropic work.
Many people," Sir Arthur used to
say, see without perceiving, but the
joy of the blind is that they perceive
without seeing. To be blind is like all in
life. One must conquer the problems
as they present themselves
Much of the success of St Dunstan's $
College is due to his happy spirit which
inspired others. He treated blindness
from an entirely new angle which was
completely above pity.
Sir Arthur was known as one OF the
snartest dressers in London, AWAY

enjoyed smoking as much as before he
became blind, and the way he stretched

Paris. Dec. o.
Mata Hari, the beautiful Dutch East
Indian dancer, who was executed as
a spy during the war; was a victim
of her lust for gold, according to Com
mandant Emile Massard, who is now
making public his memoirs in connec-
tion with the case. NJ. Massard, writ
ing in the Liberte, says the dancer,
who on her first public appearance in
Paris made a sensation by appearing
in a covering of bronze powder and
whose strange charm led to the down
fall of various French and German
officers, also had close relations with
high officials of the French Ministry
French War Cabinet Minister, but he
refuses to give names.
The two instalments of NJ. Mas
sard's revelations appearing yester-
French public curiosity, as he has not
given the names of the high French
officials, and especially the high func-
iionary of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs to whom he refers. On the
other hand, because OF his discretion
political circles here are breathing
easier, as it had been feared that he,
an eye witness of the things he re-
Iates, intended to break his silence on
the scandal, which, it was generally
expected, would result in many resig-
nations from governmental positions.
IN connection with these revelations
by NJ. Massard one of the vernacular
newspapers here tonight revives the re-
port which was current here at the time

she was never really put to death, but
10 the contrary. because of her strong
hold on certain French officials, she

and go to Italy, where she is now living
in secluded ease.
The newspaper In question quotes one
eyewitness of the execution to the ef-
feet that when she appeared before the
firing squad she was absolutely fearless
and even refused to permit them to
b'ndfold her. 1t asserts that when
the shots were fireo, she seemed to
lower herself gracefully to the foot of
tine execution post when 1t was OBJ
served that her face had been spared by
the bullets and that not drop of blood
appeared on her white silk blouse"
II asserts that even the officer who
gave the coup de grace did so from a
distance, and not directly over her body,
acter which her body was removed from

French have not credited these reports.

Sir Arthur. who was 50 years old, was
extensively associated with the news
paper world. was distinguished for his
energy as n publisher and more recently
for his devotion TO the cause of sight
less soldiers His brilliant career as the
proprietor of nine daily and four weekly
newspapers, nine weekly periodicals and
six monthly magazines was cut short by
his affliction. but he rose above this to
prominence and greater glory by his
work with ST. Dunstan's Training College
o. the Blind.
Sir Arthur never allowed his blindness
to depress him and pursued his philan-
tiicopic work enthusiastically. At Elton
he distinguished himself as a great all
around athlete. and later he Was noted
for the energy and spirit which ne put
into every endeayor.
Austen Chamberlain once described
him as the greatest hustler ever
known"
His blindness came upon him slowly
at the height of his success. He used to
go out in the fields and look through
clouded spectacles at the flowers. saying
he wished to do so before ut becomes
too late"
Then when he became blind he strug-
gled to learn the systems for the blind,
and seeing the possibilities of happiness
in darkness. he tried to guide others
to find as much.
He started his greatest achievement
in 1915. when he founded st. Dunstan's

talked about Indian art" she testified,
and the official in question, who was de-
scribed as having shown great nervous

testimony.
The court martial. however, insisted
that she had used this functionary to
convince German espionage chiefs she
was able TO maintain close relations
with some of the very highest French
officials and thereby obtain $4,000 marks
for services for which the Berlin Gov
ernment rarely paid more than 1000
marks monthly to trained agents.
