RELII 4 Sufferings of Hebrews in Russia Are Told about in a Statement. The Clarksburg committee for Jewish relief day has Issued the following statement: ..So much has been , written of the sufferings of the Jewish people in the war zone of eastern Europe that every American must be fully aware of the terrible conditions existing there. While all the inhabitants of the war zone are being subjected to all the terrible hardships of warfare the Jewish population suffers the added atrocities of all the brutal and systematic persecution of Russian bureaucracy. Many privileges, temporarily granted for selfish reasons by the Russian government, at the beginning of the war have been withdrawn following the false accusations of i disloyalty: other privileges still in fftrce are subject to the Interpretation and approval of corrupt Russian < officials who manage to see that the j Jews are denied practically all human rights. After Blxteen months of the present war the world Is finally convinced that the corrupt Russian bureaucracy is still supreme and does not Intend to change its traditional oppressive policy of making the Jews the scapegoat of their defeats and blunders of this war. The Jews cannot, therefore, look to the Russian government for aid In their present affliction, in spite of the fact that they are serving their government with unique loyalty and self sacrifice. That this Is the horrible state of affairs of Russian Jewry is sadly attested by the following authentic In- j vestlgatlonB: The following facts are vouched FOR SALE I Complete restaurant fixI tures, consisting of lunch I counter and wall case, I with larae mirrors and re II frigerator base.

Nearly three quarters of a million men, women and children of our faith are homeless. 2. The expulsions started last May were systematically followed up with decrees covering a very much wider territory. 3. The notices to the Jewish residents to leave their homes varies from three to twenty-four hours. 4. In addition to the physical and mental agony caused by these expulsions, a far more serious result was the breaking up of v thousands of | families, members of which were lost on the way. 5. Old men dropped on the road from exhaustion. Women in travail died. Children took 111. 6. The congestion of the refugees In unsanitary qharters in the Jewish cities resulted in the outbreak of infectious and contagious disease, so that the infant mortality in cities like Lodz and Warsaw was alarming. 7. In May of this year and after the first expulsions had been put into effect, the following number of refugees were reported by the Jewish Colonization Association: Warsaw, 75,000 people: Vienna, 12,000; Klelce, 3,000; Konsk, 4,000; Minsk, 2,000; Prassnysh, 1,500; Kadon, 2,-1 000; Gussfatln, 1,200; shakl (Suvalki) 1.500; "Lomsha, 5,000f Khmelnlk. Province Kieice, 1,500. Since that time these numbers have increased almost ten fold. No accurate figures can be given of the number of refugees because hundreds of thousands are eating up their little savings, and have not registered at any relief agency. These are rapidly reaching the end of their resources, and will soon have to fall upon philanthropy. 8. The commercial life in the Russian Pale Is lying waste.

Ej3peclally miserable are the residents of the provinces of Kovno and Grodno, and the privonces of Bessarabia, Podolls and Volynla. The above facts show that whatever aid comes to the Jews In Russia must come through the generosity of the outside world. Already have Jew and Gentile begun to respond to their lamentable misery. It is for this reason that President Wilson has set aside at the suggestion of the Senate, January 27, 1916, as a special day on which all Americans, regardless of creed, may contribute to this humane cause. The Central Relief Committee of New York, hopes to raise five mlllon dollars on or before January 27. To'date about a million and a halt has been raised through the generosity of the Jews and Oentlles of the United States. The Clarkeburg committee wishes to make an earnest appeal to all citizens of Clarksburg to contribute their generouB share in response to a special letter which Will soon be sent to their homes.

This cannot be assured at present, although the operations of the dredges during the last four SI * tU.t the.. . ?K1? mumilb iihvvt nuunu mm uiuj nic ?wio when not Interrupted In the work by the passage of 9hlpB or the clearing of the channel for navigation, to gain on the slide* and It Is desired to have a reasonable assurance that they can maintafh. this gain even with the delay from the above causes. "It Is hoped that beforo long better Information on the two main controlling features will be available. The large mass of rack at the base of Gold Hill on the east bank Is being carefully observed. If the materials behind It move northwardly, as Is not unlikely one danger of Interruption to navigation will be removed. "The other feature Is the rate of motion that will result In the west Bllde when the dredges attack Its face as will shortly be done. It Is believed that the dredges can keep well ahead of any possible motion In this mass, provided the east bank Is quiescent, or nearly so." ififB (Continued from page 1, first section.) ferers. Belgium aroused their sympathy because it was the war's first great horror. Poland's tragedy came too late. "Belgium was a nation. It had a IIIIIa wAval nhlldrnn mug, IJUCCU! iinw >v/a> vuuutvui When war crushed out tho nation's life, the. historic tragedy stirred the Imagination of the American people." "Poland is merely the name of a nation that has passed?the tragic memory of a state. To Americans It was only a region trampled by armies. Its fato had no appeal. "Belgium, as a nation, wap represented In the United States by an ambassador, consuls, and commercial agents. Poland had no one to represent it. The American people know Belgium almost as well as they know the remote parts of their own country. Poland la too far away. Prey of Armies. "There Ib now no meat in Poland. The cattle, sheep, ewlne have gone to the commisarlos of the armies. The people live on carrot soup. Thousands . walk for miles In the winter cold with their feet wrapped in rags to beg a pannikin of this carrot soup. Rye , flour, normally $3 a sack, is now $27. Peas, which once sold at $1.50 a bag aro held at $9. There is hardly a pound or lard or a side of bacon in all Poland. "Premier Asqulth's answer to the appeal of Chicago Poles Is not unfavorable. I see in it a certain hope. He advises that a central relief organization be established In Poland to see to distributions. This is a line idea. "If we could establish such an organization which could operate with authority. I think we could get supplies into the country. John F. Smulskl of the Polish central relief committee is now in Washington to consult with Secretary of State Lansing, the officials of the Rocekeller foundation, and the ministers of the Entente nations . to see what can be done.

Active work In the movement to raise relief funds for Jews in the warstricken regions of Europe and Asia will be started here tomorrow with i large oommlttee of Jews and Gentiles enlisted. In connection with this movement Bishop David H. Greer, of New York, Episcopal clergyman, rereccntly delivered the following address urging Christians to contribute liberally to tho fund: I am here tonight to voice by my presence, for whatever my presence may be worth, and also by a spoken word, my sympathy and to persuade others toward that sympathy for the suffering, starving Jewish people, men, women and children on the other side of the seas. I am moved to do this, not merely by sentimental considerations,'though such considerations are always legitimate, but as an act of Justice., It Is a debt, a debt In the first place which the Christian church owes to the Jewish people: It Is a reparation debt for the cruelties and the crimes which it has Inflicted upon them. It Is a catalogue of crime, and as a Christian man, with shame for the Christian church, whose professed faith Is charity and love for all, for the brotherhood of man, for the fatherhood of God; and nothwltbstandlng that professed faith has inflicted such cruelty and Injury upon the Jews, not because he was a sinner above all . Dther sinners, but because he was a Jew, and for this reason they made in outcast of blm, unsheltered by the Christian church and vlcltlmlzed by both. Separation Debt. It la a fact'Imbedded in the history I cf the past and the right, the proper, citliens, but I appeal to my Christian church to do, Is to try to pay?In full ; measure It never can?but to overdue; and the payment now should try to pay that reparation debt, and now la , the time. In this hla bitter hour. In hla StarrIng and suffering hour, now la the time ' to pay It The debt Is due, It la of , srt, of science, or literature, or litters, In which the Jew has not been , made and I appeal, not merely to the ions of Zlon here, my Jewish fellow j citliens, but I appeal to my Jewish , fellow citliens In this land to pay and discharge promptly and generously J this reparation debt to the Jew. It has been Intimated in the communication from the vice-president It Is also civilization's debt to the Jew, for who that la familiar with hla history can fall to recognize ghe Invaluable service which he has rendered to the progress of mankind. It la a fact beyond question, beyond dispute, that there Is scarcely any branch rendered great service to civilization, and accomplished notable results. ' IHJnln? (I,. P.

EER'S FOR JEWS cr; from Isaiah to Spinoza, the war god Intoxicated, and many more in other days of scarcely less repute. I say It Is civilization's debt to the Jew and now I say again In Ubis, his sad and bitter hour, his affllctod hour, his suffering, his homeless, his starving hour, now Is the time for civilization to pay the debt which It owes to the Jew. But beyond all that, and higher perhaps than all that, It Is humanity's , debt. Some one has said that human relationships, as they become less close, are more difficult to moralize and it Is true, but human relationships today are becoming not less close, but more close. Human life everywhere, In spite of our present belligerency and strife, is touching 1 human life, rather It Is touching Itself, everywhere touching Itself. It Is all one. I recall that JSmerson, In his essay, I think, on the "American Scholar," says something like this: "The gods at the outset divided man Into men that they might be helpful to himself, as the hand Is divided Into Angers to , better to serve Its end." Human life today Is but one great hand stretched , out over tho earth, and the different races of men are but the different , linger parts and members of that hand, and the hand is indebted to Its fingers; cannot do its work or be itself without them, and 'the different races of men are the fingor parts, and If one race or finger on this human hand Is wounded and crlnnled and hurt, the whole human race la cripple*], wounded, hurt and cannot do its work and cannot be itself. immunity's Debt Therefore, I say It la humanity's debt to the Jew and I appeal to that humanity of the American people, j which la the boast the legitimate boast, * the only worth wbllp boast and glory < of the American people, which never > falls to respond to any human needs, no matter bow remote, as It Is responding now so liberally and so freely. I appeal to that humanity, that American humanity, to pay promptly, : with free open hand, its debt its hu- i man debt, to the Jewish people In i Ibis, their bitter hour, and so die- i charge its indebtedness to its own : American humait life. In the name i of the Christian church, In the name l of civilisation, in the name of Amer- ] lean humanity, I appeal In behalf of i the Jew, who is suffering today?men, 1 Auto LiVer: DUin ft J1 ,-W -I.
