HOW KINFOLK HERE TRACE LOST JEWS j Hebrew Shelter and Immigrant Aid Society of America Doing Good Work. $3,750,000 FUND RAISED FOR EUROPE'S SUFFERERS War Trampled People of Russia. Galicia. Poland and Palestine Being Cared For. How news of lost relatives and friends in the warring countries, such as Poland. Austria and Russia, is bring obtained for Jewish people in this country, and how the American Jews are sending money to feed and clothe sufferers of their faith, to build schools 1 and rehabilitate the war-swept coun- ] try is told in an article written ex- J clusively for the Survey press service. J ne article is by itutn i-qcKcring. » The Survey is an organization whose ( purpose is to investigate the facts of c living and working conditions and to ^ suggeset methods of social advance. J The article shows that the Jews of 2 this country already have contributed r *3.750,000 for the relief of sufferers in * Russia. Galicia, Poland and Palestine. ( The article follows: 1 "Seek Chiam. the dark one, my brother. 1 saw him last in the village of ^ Novaia." * "Learn for me of Mendel, my son. the * man who limps. Ask the people in the * town of Kalach, in the south of Russia. They will know what has become of t him." A Thousands Daily Seek News. With requests like these on their j lips, thousands of East Side Jews are daily climbing six flights of stairs at 77 Delancey street. New York city, for ^ in their first hurry to get a word of J those whom they had lost they broke J the elevator. I In a small auditorium and a few ex- i tra rooms at this address the Hebrew I Shelter and Immigrant Aid Society of 1 America is telling the Jews of this 3 country what has become of their ^ friends and relatives abroad. The un- fc dertaking was begun last fall, when <3 Tsadore Hershfleld went abroad to or- 1 ganize in Rotterdam a center of com- c muni cation between American Jews and their suffering relatives in Poland, Russia and Austria. 3 In December the first list sent back c by Mr. Hershfleld, containing a thou- o sand names of persons who had been J asked for or who were inquiring for v the help of some friend here, was read t at a meeting overflowing the rooms of d the bureau by hundreds. The next day 200 or 300 yho had been forced to wait 1 on the sidewalks the night before were " given news of their loved ones, and by t 5 o'clock the bureau had filed 11.330 h fresh requests for information. Peri- 3 odic public meetings have since been I held to give out news received from 1 abroad. 3 Mr. Hershfleld having organized his v headquarters in Rotterdam, proceeded 3 to Berlin, and is now in Poland. From I there he expects to go into Russia, c 1 Seldom Have Family Names. t Most of those who are lost live in the small towns, where Jews seldom c nave a family name. In the large £ towns, since the Jews were freed, they have adopted family names, often by governmental request. All the cards of the applicants for information ask tor the nickname, and when the applicant has given this and the correct name, the last known European address of the one he seeks, and the names of those still in Russia who might know of him, he is handed a card with a number on it and is asked not to come back until he receives a postal from the bureau. When news finally comes.perhaps that his father is alive with his sister in the little village of Zamoste, in fi southern Poland, but that she has consumption. contracted from pestilence in the wake of war and he is without r money to help her. or perhaps that his c brother is a prisoner in an Austrian ( camp, or that his mother had died ] because she has no money for food. j then the applicant is sent for and it is T j-ome one's task to tell him what word \ has been received. The news is almost always tragic. That intense family feeling so char- j acteristic of the Jews becomes more , than ever clear as the heart broken t father or mother or son or daughter j turns away from the desk and returns x in a day or two, asking how $50 or t $75 can be safely sent abroad. $ These small amounts of money for j relief are supplemented by money j i raised in energetic campaigns carried j on throughout this country to send to v the 6,000,000 Jews reported starving in j the warring countries, and $3,750,000 t 1 has up to date been collected and sent «. to Jews in Russia. Galicia. Poland and f W I'alastine by the Jewish relief commit- j m tee. Their first mass meeting in Car- 3 regie Hall. New York city, brought in d H SbOO.OOO in pledges and actual contri- u butions. Since then rallies all over } the United States have raised the ji amount to where it now stands. j: c Series of Tag Days Planned. j Under the joint committee on Jewish \ relief, of which Felix Warburg is chairman, are two other committees. 0 one the central committee, working for 1 funds among the synagogues, and the . other, the people's relief committee. The latter branch co-operates with the ( trade unions and solicits from bus!- T nese people. The woman's auxiliary of this committee, with Mrs. Philip .r T.ewisohn as chairman, has planned a series of tag days to gather money. r To Keep alive the 2,500.000 Jews in the twenty Russian provinces under the care of the Jewish Colonization So- . « iety in Petrograd. it is estimated that ,, 620.000 rubies per month is needed While the money is being used prl- J marlly to buy bread, it is being spent also, it is declared, to rebuild schools. In these schools children will be ' clothed and fed, and distracted as far \ as possible from the misery in which they are growing up. Where armies have fought and passed on, as in <;ali« ia. >ome of the money is going for rehabilitation. , OLD STYLE. cr m-.:: '==P Alls?..

Of the American songs the most acceptable were "April Rain," by. Schneider, sung by request, and which he was obliged to repeat, as was Kevin's "'Twas April." the latter sung to his own accompaniment.
