JEWISH WOMEN WILL PERFORM
DUTY.

real patriots and noble women and that
they will show by their work their ap-
preciation for the liberties they enjoy in
this free America. Let us all here as-
sembled who may not be obliged to give
tip her dearest possession, think of the
women who will. Let us all think of
our debt to our country, what we owe to
our homes and the brave men defending
them. I know that the Jewish woman
will do her duty."
The sacrifices and noble work of Jew-
ish women in history was the theme of
the address of Mrs. Elsie K. Sulsberger,
who eloquently pointed to the deeds of
our ancestors as indicative of the re-
sponse of the Jewish people of today to
the call of service. She stated that we
may well be proud of our history and
that the time had come to show the
world that Jewish men and women are
true to the heritage handed down to us
from the ages and which we in our turn
shall pass on to posterity.
Why We Are at War.
Hon. Charles C. Simons, speaking on
"Why We Are at \Var," said in part :
"In this, as in every great conflict
among nations, there arc the reasons
and events which hasten and precipitate
the war and there is also the deeper
underlying cause. We fight, it is true,
for the freedom of our commerce on
the high seas, to preserve inviolate those
canons of international law which have

HEMSTITCHING AND PLEAT-
ING DEPARTMENT OF LARGE
STORE HAS RAPID GROWTH.

The hemstitching, pleating, button
and picot edging department of the
New York Trimming and Lining
House has enjoyed a remarkable
growth within the past three years.
This success is due mainly to the
able management of Samuel Kalis,
whose personal attention and cour-
teous treatment of patrons has in-
creased this business to such an ex-
tent that it has become necessary to
move the department from a small
space on the fourth floor to the en-
tire second floor of the building at
16 John R. street.
By reason of an experience of many
years Mr. Kalis has become expert
in his line, and enjoys the confidence
of all who come in contact with him.
"Service, quality of merchandise, and
courtesy, being the essentials of my
business, explains the rapid growth
of my department," said Mr. Kalis.

slowly and laboriously been evolved by
civilized nations to mitigate the horrors
of war; we fight also perhaps for the
restoration of shattered and violated
Belgium, and because of the murder of
American men, women and children on
the high seas; we fight to make perma-
nent the new democracy of Russia and
the emancipation of the millions of Jews
therein; we fight because, in the words
of the President, neutrality has become
intolerable, our land has been filled with
plot and intrigue, and our neighbors on
the south and east have been incited
against us ; and we fight to hasten the
coming of the world's peace and to make
that peace a lasting and a permanent
one. But above and beyond all this, the
great war has become for us as much an
irrepressible conflict as was our own
Civil War. It has become a contest be-
tween two basic ideas of government : the
one, that government is founded on the
divine right of kings ; the other, that gov-
ernments derive their powers from the
consent of the governed; and so we fight
today for democracy as opposed to
autocracy, for human liberty and human
rights, and we have taken our place
beside republican France, beside demo-
cratic England, and beside the great new
democracy of Russia. There is no
thought of revenge or material gain in
America's entrance into the war, and we
are not inspired by hate. It was a great
day for bleeding France and harassed
Britain when America declared war ; but
it was also a great day for the German
people and the Austrian people, and in
my judgment they will yet thank God
for the day that the great western re-
public entered the conflict and earned
the right to sit at the council hoard when
the peace of Europe is written."
The meeting closed with the singing
of the "Star Spangled Banner." The
audience rose to its feet and sang the
national anthem with a fervor and
sincerity that brought tears of emotion
to the eyes of many, and caused a sense
of religious devotion to our country to
he indelibly impressed on the hearts of
all.
The committee in charge of Red Cross
booths in the Henry Smith building and
the Emporium Department Store report
excellent progress. These booths, at-
tended by Jewish women, are in charge
of Mrs. Walter Heavenrich as chairman
of the numerous women who are shar-
ing the duties of the work.

Congregation Bene Israel
Kalamazoo, Michigan
April 16, 1917.
Dear Dr. Franklin :
In One of your editorials in the Jewish
Chronicle of April 13, you refer to the
noble example shown by such men as
Governor Bamberger of Utah, Morris
Levy of Omaha, Ben Selling of Port-
land, and Rosenwald of Chicago, all of
whom have pledged ten per cent of the
entire amount raised for the Jewish Re-
lief Fund in their respective communi-
ties. In answer . to your query, "Who
will be the man in Michigan to follow
the high example of these noble Jews?"
allow me to say that Mr. Gumbinsky of•
our city has followed the noble-spirited
men mentioned above and will give ten
per cent of all the moneys raised here
in Kalamazoo for the Relief Fund for
Jewish \Var Sufferers.
Sincerely yours,
SAMUEL J. ABRAMS.
