V J WILLIAM PENN TO GET TARDY HONOR Governor Brumbaugh Says Time Has Come to Desig nate a Day For Him Thursday, November 7, was to-day proclaimed by Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh as "William Penn Day" this being the anniversary of the landing of the founder of the Com monwealth on the soil of Pennsyl vania in 1682. The Governor urges that people study the life of Penn and turn to it as a model and method in life. The proclamation is as follows: "Whereas, November seventh (new style) is the anniversary of the date of the first landing of Wil liam Penn upon American soil, and "Whereas, William Penn was the most commanding figure to cross the Atlantic ocean in colonial days and did by his lofty character and su preme statesmanship set tip in the wilds of the fronting continent a colony that has steadily and splen didly developed into the finest Com monwealth God ever carved out of his love for the dwelling of man and has left to us un example of life so rich, so full, so inspiring and so holy that the centuries have only aided to the luster of his name and the love for his life. "Now. Therefore, 1. Martin G. Brumbaugh, Governor of the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania, grate fully acknowledging the unique and matchless influence of William Penn upon the life and destiny of Penn sylvania anil through Pennsylvania upon all peoples, do hereby call upon and invite the people of this Com monwealth to observe Thursday, No vember 7, 1918, as WILLIAM PENN DAY and I urge that on that day, not withstanding the large issues now upon the public mind and consci ence, our citizens, as a mark of love and loyalty, to the great founder, give fitting testimony of their abid ing conviction that his plan of gov ernment, his conduct of public af fairs and his modest but heroic life still remain as guide and inspira tion to all the peoples of the world. Let there be due observance of the event in the public press, in our churches, in our schools, and in such special meetings as the people may properly plan. Let it never be said with show of credence that Penn sylvania is ungrateful or forgetful. Let us never neglect to turn steadily to Penn's life as model and method in our own lives. Let us publicly profess our confidence in the form of government he has set and in the fine spiritual forces he has set in our common life. William Penn's example is not only inwritten in the public procedure of this Common wealth. it is also inscribed in the hearts of our people and both in public and in private life he is sacred forever." Billion Dollars Sought to Reconstruct Jewry New York. Oct. 18.—A fund which may reach $1,000,000,000, to be used to finance the reconstruction of the Jewry of the world, will be sought by the joint distribution committee of the American funds for Jewish war sufferers, which, it was announ ced here last night, will undertake what is described as "the largest purely humanitarian project in his tory to be attempted by individual effort." The money according to Felix M. Warburg, of Kuhn. Loeb & Co., will not be sought alone through contri butions, but will embrace the fields af lending and investment and will be accepted front non-Jewish, as well as Jewish sources. The plan is based on reports re ceived front every country where Jews have suffered during the war. Commissions of American Jews—ex perts in philanthrophy, social serv ice. education and business—will be sent to Russia, Rumania, Poland, Palestine, Serbia, Greece and other lands as soon as the initial subscrip ion permits. Reports from the com mittee's representatives now abroad indicate that one-quarter of the world's 9,000,000 to 12,000.000 Jews outside of the 3,000,000 in the Unit ed States, "are destitute, starving homeless," the committee's state ment says.
