Show uw - HELP THE JEWS IN THE WAR ZONE. No people nave suffered more in this war than the Jews. The priva tions of the Belgians were mild as compared with the horrors Inflicted on the Jews In Poland and Galicia as the armies of Invasion and defense fought over the land. Nearly all of Poland, where there is a large Jewish population, has been the scene of fearful fear-ful destruction. The Jews, caught between be-tween the troops of the Central Powers Pow-ers and the Russians, have been deprived de-prived of everything that went to make up their homes. Men, women and children are starving to death, and their cries for succor have reached reach-ed the United States and have been heard even in Ogden. In response to President Wilson's proclamation, calling on the charitably charit-ably disposed to answer the calls for aid, Ben Oppman and Arthur Kuhn have been interviewing the business men of Ogden, in an effort to place this city on the roll of honor. Mr. Oppman Is the local treasurer of the committee urging relief measures, ana contributions can be mailed to him at the R. &. O. Quality Shop on Twenty-fifth street. Ogden should do its full part. There is extreme suffering among the Jews in the war zone, and the obligation we owe all mankind, in this period of disaster from which we are free, demands de-mands something from us in the way of helping the Jews. This Is the first time the Jews of the United States havc gone outside their own circle to solicit aid, though ihey always have subscribed liberally to every deserving call for help. This crisis is so widespread and appalling appal-ling that they alone are unequal to the stupendous task of relieving the suffering, and they now appeal to the entire world. |
