 Message of Smith
 The message of MT. Smith as made public by MT. Warburg reads as follows: T earnestly join in the appeal which you are making to raise fund for the relief of op- pressed Jews of Germany and other lands and for the settlement of Jews in Palestine. The fate of the German Jews under the Hit Ter tyranny has aroused the indig- nation of the world. Its consequent ces, however, must also stir the pity of the world for those suf- ferers whose whole livelihood has been destroyed. I hope that the present appeal will find the most generous response"
 Dr. s. Parkes Cadman, also voic- ing the hope that the United Jew ish Appeal would succeed, said: "I heartily support the United Jew ish Appeal which is endeavoring to raise funds for the relief and re- mobilization of the Jewish race in Germany and other lands and also for their settlement in their father land, Palestine. I sincerely trust that our American People will respond to this appeal with the generosity which is their charac- teristic and which the appeal itself so richly deserves"
 Asks Christians to Aid
 That the cause of the United Jewish Appeal merits the support and assistance of Christians was as- serted by Dr. Everett R. Clinchy in his message which said: ''The undertaking of the United Jew ish Appeal to raise $S,250,000 in 1885 for the relief and rehabilita- tion of Jews in Germany and else- where who are the victims of po- litical policies and racial discrim- ination and for the settlement of Jews in Palestine will arouse the sympathetic interest and approval of all humanitarians of whatever faith. The situation toward whose relief this effort is directed is a major calamity that transcends all considerations of race; and Chris tians should applaud and assist their Jewish brethren who are fac ing it so vigorously and sacrifi- cially."
 Professor Charles A. Beard sent the following message in support of the United Jewish Appeal: "Suf- fering is a common lot of human ity. But in the case of oppressed Jews spiritual and physical distress combine to make a special appeal to human sympathies. The heroic efforts of Jews to help their people find a place of peace and W K are among the inspiring manifes- tations of the human spirit in our times"
 Calls Plight Supreme Tragedy"
 Voicing the view that Christians as we'll as Jews should support the cause of the United Jewish Appeal, Dr. Holmes described the plight of the Jews of Germany as ''a su- preme tragedy in an age of trag- edy." His message was as follows: "The tragedy of the stricken Jews of Europe is the supreme tragedy in an age of tragedy. The plight of these Jews is the concern of us all, Jews and Gentiles alike. If ever there was a call which should be answered, this is it. Alike for the relief of the persecuted and for the rebuke of the prosecutors. thrice the sum of money asked should speedily be raised. God speed your cause!"
