20 GENTILES AID JEWISH RELIEF Result Shows Big Increase in Funds For Latter in Europe New York, Dec. 10.—The remark able way in which the country has responded to the cry for relief from the 6,000,000 starving Jewish peo ple of Eastern Europe, is shown in a report made public by Henry H. Rosenfelt, director of the American Jewish Relief Committee, which has completed campaigns in about hulf of the states of the Union. For the first time in the history of the Jewish race, Jew and Gen tile worked side by side this year to alleviate the intense suffering of millions of Jews throughout East ern Europe. American Jewry had borne alone the heavy burden of caring for their suffering kinsmen in the Eastern war zone through out the four years of war, but with the signing of the armistice, the terrible condition of Eastern Euro pean Jews disclosed, proved too herculean a task for the Jews of this country to attempt to carry alone. So Gentile joined with Jew and the gratifying results of this most radical departure from Jew ish traditions, is shown by a com parison of this year's and the 1918 campaign. During 1918, slightly over *9,- 000,000 was raised throughout the country, according to Mr. Rosen felt So far this year, with but half of the state campaigns held, 111,- 266,385 has been raised. The new policy of the American Jewish Re lief Committee in waging their cam paigns irrespective of race or creed, has brought in over |2,000,- 000 more this year, than the entire country produced in 1918. All Creeds Co-operated "The outstanding feature of these campaigns has been the whole hearted co-operation of people ol every creed," declared Mr. Rosen felt "Non-Jews everywhere have not only contributed generously, but have taken active part in the or ganization of the drives and have given, without stint, of their time and effort. "The campaigns held have been, without exception, operated without regard to the religious beliefs of those participating —the non-Jews welcoming the opportunity to give to Jewish relief because of their desire to aid our starving people and because also of their wish to reciprocate the aid which leading Jewish citizens have invariably given to all humanitarian causes. Mr. Rosenfelt pointed out that it was estimated that of the $1,178,- 000 raised in Pittsburgh and sur rounding counties, fully <? n e- h £' f was contributed by non-Jewish citi zens. "This is representative of drives all over the country, he added. "This co-operation is of value not only because it means additional funds for our suffering people in Eastern Europe, but be cause it has had a permanent ef fect on the relationship of Jews and non-Jews in America, bringing them closer together than they have ever been before, breaking down barriers of prejudice and cre ating a spirit of good-will and co operation." 10,000 Engines Idle in the German Shops Coblenz, Dec. —• Ten thousand locomotives are idle in the repair shops of Germany, according to rail road men who conferred recently in Coblenz with Pierrepont B. Noyes, the American representative on the Interallied Rhineland High Commission. The meeting was call ed for the purpose of discussing the coal shortage in Germany and the part the railroads are to play in dis tributing fuel this winter. The labor representative, at the conference, contended that the Ger man workmen are not holding back in efforts being made to meet the economic difficulties facing the country. The chief trouble in repair ing the locomotives, the railroad men asserted, was lark of proper ruw material which Germany had been unable to secure since the armis tice. The railroad men asserted that the men in the railroad shops real ized the responsibility placed upon them to repair locomotives and that there was no desire on the part of these workmen to slow up on this work. The average wage in the railroad shops is sixteen marks a day. The mark at the present rate of ex change at army headquarters in Cob lenz, is valued at a fraction less than three and a half cents.
