JEWS OF GEORGIA ARE READY
FOR WAR RELIEF CAMPAIGN
1ICHJOINS FEBRUARY
COMMITTEES ARE ORGANIZED IN PRACTICALLY
CITY OF THE STATE, AND SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE
BEING REPORTED TO ATLANTA HEAD¬
QUARTERS-SUCCESS IS ASSURED,
LEADERS SAY.
In striking contrast to the 75-year-old war refugee, just arrived at
Bucharest are the more fortunate younger women whose families
have been partially rehabilitated through the efforts of American
Jewish relief workers.
Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—The Jews
of Georgia are practically ready for
the Jewish War Relief Campaign,
which begins February 22, when
1300.000 will be raised in the state
for the suffering Jews of Eastern
Europe and Palestine.
Committees have organized in many
cities over the state and reports
reaching headquarters here are most
encouraging, according to V. H. Krieg
shaber, state chairman. In some of
the larger cities subscriptions have
already been made. Augusta, which
has subscribed $15,000 to the fund,
reports that she will give more than
125.000 and the committee there de¬
clares that Augusta will maintain a
lead throughout the campaign.
The campaign ig caused by urgent
Jemands for funds issued by.the Joint
Distribution Committee, the Jewish
Jisbursing agency that is co-operating
with the Hoover Mission and other
starving population of Eastern Eu¬
rope and Palestine.
Attorney Harold Hirsch, of Atlanta,
s chairman of the Atlanta campaign,
while Fred Ruslander is directing the
Irive in the state. Mr. Ruslander is
» newspaper editor and former war
jorrespondent, who for nearly a year
Has been donating his services to the
fewish War Relief Committees which
ire collecting funds.
Mr. Ruslander explains that while
die solicitation is largely confined to
Jews and the food expended through
Jewish agencies, the food depots are
jpen to all sufferers of whatever
faith.
“So long as food remains the com¬
missioners of our committees will al¬
ow no man, woman or chilif to starve
md will share to the last crumb,''
said Mr. Ruslander.
"The slogan ef the campaign is
share' and there is no doubt that all
who understand the need will share
if their plenty with those who have
nothing. Herbert Hoover, H. P. Davi¬
son, head of the Red Cross, and Unit¬
ed States government officials report
!hat conditions are steadily growing
worse.”

iN JEWISH DRIVE.
Atlanta, Ga,-^(Special.)—Considera¬
interest is being manifested in the
r ewish W r ar Relief Campaign, which
igins February 22, when $300,000 will
a raised in Georgia for the suffering
of Eastern Europe and Palestine,
HAMILTON, HARRIS COUNTY. GA., FRIDAY FEBRUARY 13, 1920.
according to reports reaching state
headquarters.
While the campaign is primarily
among the Jews, many Christians arc
offering their time and money. The
Rotary Club of Augusta has offered
its assistance In the campaign and
other organizations of the state
planning^ to are
take part in the drive.
Conditions among the starving Jews
of Europe cannot be exaggerated,
cording to ac¬
by Capt. reports brought to America
Frederick G. Johnson, of the
American Red Cross Commission to
Poland. Mr. Johnson says:
“Th e immediate future of Poland’s
starving population depends directly
on the interest and help of outside
nations until national conditions can
be improved materially. Poland is do¬
ing all that she can for her people, but
her present resources do not begin
to meet the need. Until the new na¬
tion gets en her feet, it is the solemn
obligation of American relief organ¬
izations to keep up their splendid ef¬
forts without relaxation.
“I have visited desolafg communi¬
ties in the Department of the East
that vast strength of barren country
lying east of the River Bug, whose
people were literally saved from ex¬
tinction through the vigorous minis¬
tration of these relief organizations.
The amount of humanitarian good
that American effort and Amez-ican
money can do in Poland * uiaau is limited
only by the extent of American gere
erosity.-* There seems no limit to tfio
field ’id to to be be covered. covered.
“In Novogrodek, for instance, which
was perhaps harder hit by famine and
wan* than any other single community
in the Department of the East, the
combined efforts of the American Re¬
lief Administration, the American Red
Cross and the American Jewish Re¬
lief agencies resulted not only in the
distribution of a vast amount of purelv
emergency relief, in the form of food
and clothing, but also in the estab¬
lishment of a numher ef permanent
institutions that were vitally needed.
"Before the Americans got to Novo
grodek the people of that town and
the surrounding country were in a
condition pitiable beyond description
They were crying of hunger and dis¬
ease. Particularly sad was the plight
of the little children and the old peo
pie without families. Local effort
broughtTittle result in getting hemes
of even the crudest sort established,
for the inhabitants had absolutely
nothing to work with.” i ,
