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.
