doubted the i'ssue of the fight, but
said to himself: 'We must hold first
and win next.'
"?From the handful of men who ar

formidable army he commanded wnei
the ccjnoion enemy surrendered, al!
were confident of their chief, whose
vaJue was soon revealed to us. We
admired and revered him, giving him

REPORT PLENTY OF SUGAR
Philadelphia Receives Big Shipments
From the West Indies
Philadelphia, Sept. 10.?(Large raw
sugar arivals from Cuba, Porto Rico
and Hawaiian Islands have virtually
ended the sugar shortage. Enough
is coming to assure plenty for ev
erybody.
The steamship Costigan is now
discharging at the local refineries
18,500,000 pounds of sugar from
Cuba, one of the largest cargoes
ever brought to this port and the ar
rivals will be jn greater volume in
the next two weeks than ever lie
fore.
The refiners are being kept busy
receiving the sugar, the greater part
of which comes from Cuba. William
E. Gonzales, United States Minister
to Cuba, who has just returned on
a visit, says the warehouses In Cuba
are bursting with raw sugar. All the
United States has to do. he says, to
get all the sugar it needs, is to send

All Are Urged to Contribute

Cause
NEEDS ARE INCREASED
Funds Will Be Used In Saving Rem
nants of Their Race From Utter
Destruction.
Norfolk, Va., Sept. 10.?Th-i huge
ness of the task that confronts them
J in saving1 the remnants of their race
! abroad from utter destruction makes
it necessary for the Jews of this state
to turn to the citizens of the state
Df other faiths for help in the coming
.Jewish re'.itf drive. Heretofore the
funds necessary to finance Jewish re
lief efforts abroad have been contri
bute:! largely by Jews, but with the
larger responsibilities now devolving
upon them, it is imperative '.hat an
outside appeal be made. Thus Met
Levy of Norfolk, State Chairman of
.he Virginia Drive summed up the rer
sons for the non_sectarian appeal fo:
Jewish relief funds to be stage;'
hrough the state in October.
"In the past American Jews have
fladly answered call after call to lenv
heir aid in various causes" stated Mr
*.evy, Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Sal
/ation Army, War Camp Commun;t>
?Service, United War Work Campaign
ind so on in turn have asked promi
lent Jews to serve on their commit
ters.
"Such men as Jacob H. Schiff an.
lis son, Mortimer, Nathan Straus,
Kclix M. Warburg, Juilus Roser.wald
ind the long list of other prominen
nun have spared no efforts to make
hese causes a success. Now, in the::
urn, they are saying to their (Jentih
'rit-nds, 'Help us in our undertaking.
'The same is being done all dowr
he line. In every state in the Union
fading Gentiles are gladly serving

the race. After all, rr.ee, creed and tin

';ta^e particularly, Will, ceasy' to giv.it-..

'r.g and starving abroad-. It should be
?emembered that their gifts durirp
he past two years total ;ov?r $30.
710,000, and that this rate of giving
vill not only be maintained, but will
?e increased in the future.
"But, with the war over, the needs
md the opportunities across ihe sea
lave increased greatly and for the
'irst time in five years it is possible
.o do really effective relief work. The
funds needed in this critical hour art
;0 great that they cannot possibly he
