CHRISTIAN COMMITTEE SETS ASIDE
NEXT SUNDAY As GOOD SAMARITAN"
DAY FOR EUROPEAN JEWISH RELIEF
Thousands of Pastors Throughout Country Asked to
Present Plight of Jews
in Sermons

is issued by DR.. Cadman and Judge
Bowling.
while Armistice day 1918 brought
peace to the United States, and we
have enjoyed prosperity, Armistice
day ushered in for the Jews a period
that was worse ever than the war.
Climax
Things have now come to eli
max. The racial pride of the Jew
has not allowed him to seek aid even
for his brethren. American Jews have
given in twelve years $25, ,0O0, 900 for
war relief for Jews. They are now
engaged in raising $25, 100000 to
carry on the work and to put the suf-
ferers in position to earn living.
"Scores Of thousands of pastors
are being asked to observs November
IA, the Sunday after Armistice day,
as Good Samaritan day, and to speak
at their services of the situation.
When American Christians learn of
the real need, we believe they will
give generously"

lew York.-The views of the Zion
ist Executive on the present situation
in Palestine was presented by DR..
Chain Weizmann, president of the
World Zionist Organization, in his
first public address delivered in New
York City since his arrival here last
Friday. DR.. Weizmann spoke at a
meeting of the Executive Committee
of the United Palestine Appeal and
prominent New York Jews affiliated
with the Appeal, held Thursday night
at the Astor Hotel.
Judge William NJ. Jewish, chairman
of the United Palestine Appeal, DR..
Stephen s. Wise, honorary chairman,
Emanuel Neumann, chairman Of the
Executive Committee of the Appeal,
DR.. George Halpern and DR.. Chain
Arlosoroff addressed the gathering.
No Cause for Panic
There is a crisis in Palestine which
is giving some anxiety, but we should
not allow our work to be influenced
by a panicky attitude. There is no
justification in the facts for panicky
attitude. The crisis will pass. Better
times will follow and new crises will
arrive, and changes will again occur,
ad infinitum, within our generation
DR.. Weizmann declared in his address
One should not forget that we are
engaged in building a country at a
time when the entire economic fabric
of Europe is shattered. The situation
in European countries must reflect it
self in our work, Such work, neces-
sary for the continued history Of a
great race, cannot proceed as smooth
ly as one would like it to. Only the
work of free burial society or 9
hospital can proceed smoothly ant
without difficulties. 1t is task which
requires continuous effort and thu
straining of every nerve. 1t is oul
misfortune, or rather, would say
our privilege to be permitted to share
the burden of this effort. When wa!

then, l knew that after the holiday
the weekdays of ordinary tasks and
difficulties must follow. We are facing
these difficulties now. But these diff
culties are of temporary nature.
There is no room for despair; there
is room only for further work.
Rate Of Progress
DR.. Weizmann reviewed the pro-
gress made in Palestine and declared
that although the progress is great, it
is not as great and as rapid as we
would like it to be for the simple
reason that no progress is ever as
quick as we want it to be.

Olom with Jewish
Rites


New York, Nov. So. T. A.
Harry Houdini was buried yesterday
in Machpelah Beth Olom near his
mothers grave in accordance with his
will. Two years ago Houdini sub
mitted closed letter to the secretary
of the Elks' Club, of which he was
member with instructions that the let
ter be opened after his death. The
letter contained the following instruc-
tions:
rabbi Tintner of Mount Zion Tenn
pie performed my marriage cere-
mony. His father, Rabbi Moshe
Tintner, buried my mother. The lat
ter was an old friend of my father,
Rabbi Weiss. Therefore, l desire that
Rabbi Tintner perform the last rites
over my body. He linked me with my
wife whom have never stopped low
ing" Houdini then expressed the
wish to be buried near his mother in
Beth Olom cemetery, Brooklyn.
The services in the Elks' clubhouse
commenced at 1890 a. m. with an
organ recital. They included rites of
the Elks, the Masons and the Society
of American Magicians, prayer by
Rabbi Tintner, tribute by Rabbi
Bernard Drachman and eulogies by
Loney Haskell of the Jewish Theatri-
cal Guild and Henry Chesterfield of
the National Vaudeville Artists.
The st. Cecile Lodge of Masons and
the Society of American Magicians
formed squares in turn about the
bier.
Honorary pallbearers were Martin
Beck, John ]. Murdoch, William

Ochs, William Johnson, Orson Mum,
Arthur Prince and DR.. William
Stone. The pallbearers were members
of the magician's troupe who had ap-
peared with him in performances for
many years.
Mrs. Houdini issued statement
last night saying that only she and
her late husbands technical adviser
knew the secret of the magician's
tricks. "The statement that four per.
sons knew Houdini's secrets is un-
true" she said. "The only persons
who posses the secret of all of Hou
dinis tricks and illusions are James
Collins, his assistant and technica
adviser for twenty years, and my
self"
