at a dinner on Saturday, April

pressed his “warm appreciation of his
many services in behalf of humanity
and of high ideals.”

House, a social service center which
Mr. and Mrs. Morgenthau had found
ed two decades ago. Newton D. Bak
er, former Secretary of War, sent a

closure of a new interest and evidence
of a widened usefulness on his part,
and I am never disappointed.”

MORTIMER SCHIFF had been
elected president of the Boy Scouts
Foundation. I suppose that there is some
thing fine in a man taking a keen interest
in the development of young boys. On

gone far astray from his own footsteps.
Jacob Schiff always tried to find new
ways in which he could help the Jewish
people.
(While our paper is on the press we
are informed that Mr. Schiff died of
heart failure at his home in Oyster Bay.)

liant intellect and sacrificial courage.”
