THE BANQUET WHERE NO
FOOD WAS SERVED.


most prominent Jews Of Chicago
gathered at one of the finest hotels
in that city for what they thought
was to be banquet. When they
sat down there was no linen on the
tables. The decorations of the great
dining room were somber festoons
Of black crepe. Not a piece of food
was in sight and none was served
The eyes of those present could not
escape these words prominently dis
played:
Suppose YOU were starying?"
Usually by the time people ac-
tually sit down at big banquet
they are quite ready to eat. But
when these 500 men had sat down
in this great Chicago hotel Jacob
NJ Loeb, who had issued the in
vitations, addressed as follows those
who had thought to dine on choice
food and that in abundance;
I'VE have been invited to meet
zach other and to dine together. We
pared These tables are bare and
we shall not dine. This is not so
by accident. This program (call
it trick if you willy has been de-
liberately planned. For SO many
TO dine in this place would mean an
expenditure OF $4,000, which would
be unwarrantable extravaganza and,
in the face of starving Europe.
wasteful crime. Thirtyfive hun
dred dollars will feed the starving,
clothe the naked and heal the sick.
What right have we to spend on
ourselves money which might have
been collected for them? You came
here expecting to dine plentifully.
Suddenly, and perhaps for the first
time, you have been disappointed.
In place Of plenty You find nothing.
In the place OF the symbols of Joy
you find those of grief Well, then,
think of your brothers and sisters
in Eastern Europe. Some of them,
too, have expected to eat, not SO!
plentifully or luxuriously as you,
but still to eat. Suddenly as you,
unprepared as you, they have been
disappointed.
Then those present voted that the
price of the banquet that had not
been served should be added to the
$tA, ,000 fund which the Amcri-
can Jewish Relief Committee has
undertaken TO raise.
All of us need sometime to have
situation brought home to us.
Many an appeal for the relief of hui
manity would meet with more gen
erous response if only we could in
some way be made to see scenes OF
suffering and distress and be made
to hear the cries of the afflicted
Arkansas Gazette.
The only question remaining rel
atiye to this section procuring the
Lone Star Highway is embodied in
an expression from the community

and we may rest assured it is mott
going to come this way if the re-
quirements are not met by theI

in action. We shall either have the
main road with state and federal
aid or we shall be forced, as a mat
ter of self-preservation, to build

Hesitancy among some indiyid-
uals toward favoring the building
of the Lone star Route through

upon their lack of knowledge as to

only chance Of being situated upon

we could ever again hope for in
