the rough-nocks on Mr.. Dooley's Archie
Road, where I spent my youth and re
ccived by carly education, it was
known as mouth-botitng and four
flushing. In the East we frankly call
it dishonesty And OF these things
Greater New York stands Indicted"
"Truc, these Indictments have not
been pressed" continued MIR. Loeb
''Until now the Jews OF New York have
not been called TO answer them. If the
Jews Of greater New York attempt to
repeat the performance of the past, if
they do not pledge their full quota or
more, If these pledges are not collect
ble or collected, they shall not escape
"Ihey shall have to appear before
the bar of their fellow Jews through
oat the land, perforce plead guilty and
accept the condemnation Of right-think-
ing men everywhere. From southeast
ern Europe, in hordes, cadavorous men
viii prosecute them, ravished women
Will bear witness against them and
perishing children viii haunt them"
Describes Conditions Abroad
Mr. Loeb then pictured the terrible
conditions among the Jews of the east
devastation stalked everywhere among
them.
Over there they are craezd with
hunger by the thousands,' he went on.
"1hey have neither fuel nor food.
There are hundreds of thousands of
undernourished mothers, anemic faith
ers and rickety children. Infection,
scrofula and tuberculosis abound.
Desperate, indeed, they must be when
they eat their rats, as we are told.
Let every Jew in greater New York
know and realize that while he is gorg-
ing himself with delicious viands, his
brothers and sisters in central and
southeastern Europe are either starv-
ing or, in despair, feeding on loath-
some animals.
"All of this is of no concern to the
Sheltered SNUG and self-sufficient ews
of Greater New York. Go after the
men. Penetrat their white livers.
Tear off their masks Show them for
what they are to themselves and to the
world. They will plead poverty, yet
they have furs jewels, lmousincs. The
reputation of the Jews of New York is
at stake. They may lose whatever
little shred of it that is left
Warburg Emphasizes Need
MIR. Loeb had been introduced by Mr.
Warburg, who had previously told Of
the pitiful plight of hundreds of thou
sands Of Jews in Europe as a result Of
the ravages of ire Great War.

blltmore Hotel. The women's division

Schlff as honorary chairman, has Mrs.
Henry Moskowitz as its director.
In reply to Mr.. Loebs criticism. Mr..
Marshall said: "a challenge has been
presented to the Jews Of New York. |
ask you are you going to accept that
challenge? [ know you will and
know you will meet it, Among the
very rich and powerful men assemblies
here | see many man who has not
done a tither Of his du.S We should
contribute not on the basis of our in
comes, but our capital. You must sell
your Jewels if necessary"
