Gated the sunlmoning OF a constituent

against the Crown forces as against the
Sim Feiners. and In suggesting that the
Government again get in touch with the
representatives OF the Irish people said
II was useless to lay down impo
conditions in such negotiations.
Replying TO Mr.. Asquiril's indictment
OF the Government in connection with
the executions at Mountjoy ana else
where as bringing disgrace and shame
upon England in the United States Mr..
Lloyd George said that two OF the men
executed at Mountjoy were murderers
and that the other four we're engaged in
an ambush to kill policemen. They were
taken with arms, bombs and soft-nosed
bullets In their possession.
The Premier gave similar details OF
the other cases adduoed and argued that

He contended that such nisrepresen-
tation was responsible for opinions IN
the United States. He said the Govern

under the home rule act IN Ireland next
May for both North and South, and II
the representatives OF the South chose
TO participate the two parliaInents could
then meet as a constituent assembly
under the provisions OF that act to con-

Mr.. Lloyd George declared he was
laboring TO the utmost TO keep the door
OF peace and Cancellation open, and
every Irishman ought TO assist Some
OF the greatest men in English history

problem, and he and his colleagues felt
no shame that UP 10 the present they
had failed.
He feared that the real reason which
prevented negotiations was that there
was no Irish leader possessing moral
courage to face his people and tell them
he was going to abandon certain de-
mands for the sake OF Ireland which II
was impossible for the British Govern
ment to concede.
The Irish and Labor members, in
Guiding Arthur Henderson. expressed the
greatest disappointment over the
Premiers speech. and reproached the

The multiplication OF the arnbuscades

the other is the boarding out of or

THE AMERICAN JEWISH RELIEF
COMMITTEE.

More than 100000 Jewish children
in Poland are in dire need of food,
clothing and medicine and will require
this relief at least until the next har-
vest, according to Henry H. Rosenfelt,
national director Of the American
Jewish Relief Committee, now joined
with seven other leading American re-
lief societies in the $33,OOO,OOO appeal
Of the European Relief Council.
At the present time only about 2l5,-
900 Of these children are being fed, re-
ceiving one meal daily at Jewish relief
stations throughout Poland, the food
being supplied through the American
Relief Administration European Chill
dren's Fund, Mr.. Rosenfeld stated.
Over 10000 Jewish children are also
given a bowl Of hot, sweetened milk
daily at American Jewish Relief sta
tons in Warsaw, the milk being sup
piled by the childrens fund.
The non-sectarian administration
Of children's' relief, which has charac-
terized the work Of the Jewish Distri-
buting Committee and the European
Children's Fund will be carried out
on a much wilder scale by the Euro
pean Relief Council under the chair
manship Of Herbert Hoover as $685.
100000 will be devoted for intensive
food and medical relief for the next 10
months in order to save the 100000
undernourished children Of Eastern
and Central Europe over the next har-
vest.
Recent appropriations Of the Jewish
Distributing Committee for non-secta-
rian children's relief work mentioned
by Mr.. Rosenfelt, were contributions
during the past year Of s725,OOO to
Mr.. Hoover's European Children's
Fund; 100000 with which to treat
tubercular German children in Switz-
erland; and a $4,000 gift to the city
Of Budapest with which to purchase
children's shoes.
OF the s35,9l9,191.s5 expended by
the Jewish Distribution Committee
since its organization at the outbreak
Of the war, large proportion has
gone for child relief, according to Mr.,
Rosenfelt, as the children, more so in
Poland than anywhere else, are the
worst sufferers. DR.. Simon Peiser,
child welfare expert Of Cleveland, is
now directing relief work among the
Jewish children in Europe for the

were many protests against II recent
ly, and finally a referendum was
agreed upon to determine the ques-
tion. However, many leaders Of the
Kehilla would not await the result Of
the referendum and introduced Kol
Nidre into the services.
The leaders appear satisfied with
the change.
