SUFFERING STILL EXISTS DESPITE RELIEF GIVEN American Jewish Belief Commit tee Announces Contributions of $47,000,000. Although *47,000.000 contributed by the Jew a of America has been spent on relief in Europe by the American Jewish Relief Committee, in conjunc tion with the Joint Distribution Com mittee, there is yet untold misery timers. aooording to Simon Lyon, representative of the Amerlaan Jew ish Relief Committee here. 1 "Hunger, houselessness and die- i eases aits Mill the portion of one mil lion Jews in the Ukraine," he said. 'They are the families and descend ants of the two hundred thousand breadwinners who hare been killed since 1517 in the wars and disturb ances that have isolated that region. "Russia, Into which the committee has only lately penetrated, is the worst sufferer of all oountries. but there are three hundred thousand fugitive Jews In Poland, fifteen thou sand in Bessarabls and as many more in Latvia and Lithuania. Before the was they wens all of the self-sup porting olasses. Now, owing to the chaotic conditions that surround them, they ere destitute. "And not only are they in misery, but they are a menaar to all Europe and to the world. A floating pupula tlon is always & menace, but these refugees are peculiarly a danger -tteoausa, being hungry, houseless 4nd ragged, they . are subject to disease. They are dirty, not hav ing means to keep clean. Many of them come front territory that has been ravagted by sickness. and j Inevitably they are, gernv carriers, distributers of typhus, ohoiera, tuberculosis and other scourges. "The sum of J14.000.000 whioh the Amerloan Jewish Relief Committee la asking the people of this country to give new is not too much for the , task of relief and reconstruction that t ' faces us. There are two hundred! thousand children over there who, must die this winter unless we put food into their mouths and gvments on their backs. There are hundreds of thousands of families that are Just on the brink of absolute want. Some flnanolal aid. a little encouragement and. backing will put many of them on their feet again, will re-establish them in trade and save them from becoming a publio charge.

URGES GREATER VOICE IN AFFAIRS OF DISTRICT Representative Zlhlman Wants Ho re Power of Expression for Citizens. Greater power of expression for Che dtllens of the National Capital Is nec essary, Representative Frederick N. Zlhlman of Maryland, a member of the House District committee, told the 6 Stroet Business Men's Association at a meeting last night Representative Zlhlman emphasized that the NatlonaJ Capital Is to be developed on a broad scale as the home city for the entire nation, and that all the people of the country are Interested In a proper de velopment of the Capital city. Business has not promptly adjusted Itself to peace-time activity. Represent ative Zlhlman said, and a spirit of co operation to beget general prosperity will be the most successful policy for all business individually and collective ly, he argued. Business made the mistake, he pointed out, as soon as the last shot of the war was fired in reaching out for all the profits it could. The price of raw materials has fallen, but the prices of manufactured goods and com modities as they reach the consumers have not fallen ax they xhould and as they must, Representative Zihlman said. Investigation of a proposed plan for a bus line tli&t will carry shoppers through O street was ordered by the meeting and a subcommittee appointed to consider this matter. Fred G.
