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.
