Thousand Wanted to Conduct

Help War Sufferers.
PLAN TO CO-ORDINATE WORK
Meeting at Eighth Street Tem
ple Outlines Campaign for
More Simple System.
Calls for 1,000 volunteers to
aid the Washington Peoples'
Relief Committee for Jewish
Wnr Sufferers who will conduct
a "Tag Day" tomorrow have
been sent throughout the city.
Names of men and women
who are willing to serve at the
"Tag Day" stations are being
received at 1223 Sixth street
northwest.
To co-ordinate all Hobrow war-rc-llef
work In Washington, and espe
cially to collect weekly contributions
of at least 25 cents from Hebrew
families not now aiding to that ex
tent, preliminary steps toward an or
eanlzatlon to bo patterned after the
"Women of the Hour" In New York,
were taken at a mass meeting at tho
Eighth Street Temple yesterday.
Nearly fifty delegates, from half as
many Hebrew women's church and lay
organization, were present. At the
suggestion of Mrs. Abram Simon, who
was actlvo In starting tho movement,
the delegates decided to report tho
plans back to the bodies they ropresent
before deflnlcly committing the latter
to the new federation. As soon as
these reports are approved, a meet
ing to complete the organization will
be called by Mrs. Louis Ottonberg,
who was chosen chairman.
Miss Wolf, representing the Zlonldt
Society, which is one of ten or more
bodies now raising funds In -the Dis
trict for Hebrew reller, cautioned
against hasty action which might re
xult In duplicating work already un
dertaken. As soon as the federation
niflkes sure that It can act as a clear
ing house for funds raised by all or
most of such bodies, a system of en
velopes similar to that used by tho
American Jewish Relief Committee In
New York will probably be provided,
and collections made by volunteer
workers and through the department
stores and markets.
Tho funds collected probably will be
turned over by Mrs. Giles Heilprlnie.
who was chosen treasurer, to Julius
l'cyser, for distribution through, his
office to the war sufferers.
Mrs. Emanuel Simon volunteered to
net as secretary for tho local commit
tee. It will require regular contribu
tions from ut least 1,000 women, she told
the meeting, to keep up the relief work
on the scale which leaders of the move
ment hope Washington will bo able to
maintain.
Tho following ladles, most of whom
were present yesterday, will seek tho
approval of the now movement by their
respective bodies: Mrs. Simon. Sister
hood; Mrs. Rohn. Alliance; Mrs. Op
pcnnelm, Sixth Street Tabernacle; Mrs.
A. Holm. Deborah: Mrs. Breslaw, Re

r.ncllps' Auxiliary. Hebrew Home for

The meeting unanimously indorsed

morrow, to raise funds for the relief.
The "tag day" movement Is In the
hands of an independent committee, of
which Dave Alphcr is chairman and
lewis I. Cohen, Morris Frcillchoff,

bers. This committee today Issued a call for

HEBREW WAR FUND CRY
For the first time in the history of the Jews of the United States
a general appeal has been made in aid of suffering Jews
suffering not from natural but unnatural causes.
A million of human beings are in dire distress and want, and all
precedents have been broken in the Senate of the United
States by having passed a resolution calling upon the Presi
dent of the United States to issue a proclamation to aid these
sufferers. The President has fixed Thursday, January 27. And
in addition to this ringing patriotic proclamation, I add my
humble voice 'in asking my fellow citizens of Washngton, in
whose midst I have lived for fifty-four years, and whoso
liberality an'd good will I appreciate, to contribute cheerfully
to this fund, whose object is to humanize and restore in a
measure the fallen fortunes of the victims of oppression and
war.
This appeal is not only made to my own coreligionists, but to all men
and women whose hearts beat for the uplift and betterment
and righteousness of all mankind. It must be conceded -that
the Jew as a citizen is liberal and ever ready to contribute in
all directions where' his help can be of benefit, and it has been
his pride not to seek outside ajd or support, but this is an
extraordinary occasion, and can. only "be met by a united
. effort.'
Am I appealing in vain?

NEW YORK. Jan. 26,-George W. Per
kins, chairman of tho cxecutlvo com
mittee of tho national Progressive party,
has served ngtlce on Charles D. Tillies,
chairman of the Republican national
committee, that Progressives will follow
onlv a leader who stands for the princi
ples of the partv. and who will have
ability and courage to put them through.
Perkins wrote to IIIUcs as follows; :
"I notjeo from this morning's papers
that in your statement at Chicago yes
terday you said among other things:
" 'From every State save one. tho Re
publican committeemen report that tho
breach of 1912 may be regarded as prac
tically healed.'
"Your statement tends to p'.ace tho
Progressives In an erroneous light be
fore tho voters of this country, for It
conveys the impression that In every
State of tho Union, savo one, the Kc
publlcan and Progrcslve parties have
already come together. This is not tho
case.
"Take the election In Massachusetts
last fall. Tho election of a Republican
governor there was not a Republican
victory. It was distinctly a l'rogrc"sKo
victory. The Republican camildate wan
only elected because he was openly sup
ported by Progressives, and he himself
very frankly admitted this after elec
tion. Tho Massachusetts Progressives
at the time made It very clear that the
matter was purely a local fight and
must in no way be taken to mean that
they would vote the Republican national
ticket in 1916.
"In Kentucky tho Republican candi
date for Governor was defeated last
fall because Progressives in sufficient
number refused to vote for him an J
voted for their own candidate. In Now
York State only tills last November,
without any State-wide campaign, more
men enrolled as Progressives than voted
for the Progressive candidate for gov
ernor the year before.
Moose Still- Intact.
"These examples are citctl to show
you that the idea that ilio Frogresjivo
party has disintegrated and Its voter J
returned to tho llepublicin part U
c.ulte eironeous. Ropoits made to the
executive committee of the Progro.i
slvo pa'-ty. which his Judt been In
session here, show that out national
convention in Chtcego, in June, will
have its full quota of dclosates. These
men will undobutedlv be imbued w'th
lut ono purpose, viz. to render tho
highest order of service to the coun
try at this critical time. They will
ln anything and everything they hon
orably can to hav both the Republi
can and Progressive pirtle.j name tho
same mnn for the national ticket nn-J
adopt the canio platform, believing
this' to bo the surest w.iy to removo
from the Vlilto House the- man who
h?s brought so miioli discredit ami
dlnhono" to our country.

history we will not stick en dclailr.
