mately $15000
The Jewish war relief drive in Hons-

ton has fallen short of its goal by ap
If
proximately $15000 according to
Stray local campaign -manager.
In order not to interfere with the vic-
tory Loan drive local Jewish workers
will discontinue their canvassing and
many will aid the block chairmen in so-
liciting subscriptions to the Victory Loan
it is announced.
. That the American Jew. unhesitatingly
responded to the nation's call and gave
his all for the cause of liberty is set
forth in the following extract from the
Methodist Christian Advocate New
York: t '
"Many East Siders volunteered at the
first call and started for Yaphank shout-
ing 'All I have all 1 am all is yours.
Uncle Sam!' Later the socialists pa-
cifists and pro-Gernians threw East Side
opinion into confusion but local draft
boird 03 composed exclusively of Jews
East Side Jews' be it said carried its
difficult work to complete success and
provided the government with nearly 800
men Cohens Goldsteins Le vines Roe-
enblimis etc
"The 10000 button-hole makers and
talesmen looked like anything but formid-
able material to hurl against the Prus-
s:an guard but they marched out from
Camp Upton with the 7!)th division with
their chests out and heads held high and
in May they will come back from France
with as proud a record as any organiza-
tion that went overseas. They did their
full share in the bloody struggle for the
Argonne Wood: and Colonel Whittlesey's
heroic 'Lost Battalion' which held out
for four days though cut off and sur-
rounded by the enemy was so full of the
little clothing workers that some one
called it a 'Yiddish battalion.
"These honorable things are brought
out here because among the many strid-
ent and distressing epithets which have
been flung about iu these nervous days
is that of 'East Side Jew.' It ought not
to be a term of contempt even though
the Russian bolshevism reoruited its
forces in that populous section and revo-
lutionary propaganda finds fertile soil
among these waifs from lands which
never knew such liberties as America of-
fers to all.
"'Hold!' said Arthur. Duke of Well
ington in the bouse of lords. 'But I have
seen the Irish do their duty!' America
has Been the Jewish soldier do' his duty.
America should not forget that at a time
when the socialists and slackers were in-
stigating the young Russian Jewa of the
East Side to claim exemption on the
ground of alien birth it was an all-Jew
ish draft board which through its chair
men Dr. Girdansky adopted this opinion
in the case of a registrant who claimed
to be classed 5 F (alien- birth) though
he had lived here 19 years and had
never lifted a finger to help his native
Now he wants that the loyal Amer
ican boy should leave here his weet-
heart. hia job. and his home an inheri
ranee to the perpetual alien and risk life
and limp ao as to secure for the perpetual
alien the peaceful enjoyment of that in
heritance.
" 'In the opinion of this board such
conditions have no precedent and have
no parallel anywnere in History and any
where on earth. This board refuses to
submit to the treatment of our country
as a gypsy camp or a hotel.
This board refuses to recognize this
registrant as an alien. There ia no spot
on earth where he by right belongs ex-
cept America. He must stand' up like a
man and take hia chance with the others.
We classify him in 1 A.
"On last Thanksgiving day a festival
peculiarly associated 'with those New
England refugees whose priority of ar
rival gives them no exclusive rights in
the American name this draft board of
East Side Jews held a celebration of
which no true American can read with
out a feeling of profound obligation to
this element of the national life. From
Plymouth Rock to East Broadway is by
some routes a long long trail and few
there be that find it but the Hon. Louis
Marshall's words on this occasion are
proof that there is such a way and that
the Jew the East Side Jew may move
toward the same ideals and make the
same sacrifice as any other citizen and
that in the ngnt oi nis service in the
great war he may read hia title clear to
the name American."
