HE splendid campaign for $250,-
000.00 as Detroit's share of
the Ten Million Dollar Jew-
ish War Relief Fund for 1917
will culminate in a monster mass
meeting at the Arcadia Hall, Wood-
ward and Stitnson Place, on Sun-
day evening, June 3d. It will be the
largest and most enthusiastic meeting
the Jewish people of Detroit have ever
participated in. Every Jewish element
in the city will be represented. For this
occasion there will be no such thing as
Reform Jew or Orthodox Jew, rich Jew
or poor Jew, Zionist or Assimilationist.
All Jews of Detroit are united now for
the relief of their unfortunate brethren
across the seas. They will assemble by
thousands at the city's largest auditorium
to show the world that Detroit Jewry
will have done MORE than it's share
to help keep 'alive the starving Jews
of Europe and Asia. It will be an epoch-
al event in the history of the city.
Hon. Henry Morgenthau Chief
S op f ea tik.
The speaker
the evening
evening will be
Honorable Henry Morgenthau, former
United States Ambassador to Turkey,
one of the most honored and prominent
Jews in America, a man who has served
his own people as well as lie has served
his country. He will have a message
to deliver to the people of Detroit that
will contain a recital of conditions in
the war-devastated countries affecting
the Jewish people that will bear the
authority of an eye-witness based on
his official knowledge of actual condi-
tions. Mr. Morgenthau knows what the
Jews of Palestine have in store for
them by reason of his residence in Tur-
key. He also knows the plight of our
people in every other nation, because
as Ambassador to Turkey he had charge
of the interests of practically every na-
tion of the Allies from the beginning of
the War in 1914 to his retirement in
1916. He was thus placed in posses-
sion of the facts concerning the Jews
in Russia, Poland, Galicia, and other
countries.
Mr. Morgenthau was born in Man-
heim, Germany in 1856, and settled in
this country in 1865. He was educated
in the public schools of New York.
City, the College of the City of New
York and Columbia University from
which place he received the degree of
LL. B. Mr. Morgenthau is the Pres-
ident of the Free Synagogue of New
York, of which Dr. Stephen S. Wise is
Rabbi. He is a director of the Mt.
Sinai Hospital, and is identified with
many charitable and public Jewish in-
stitutions throughout the country.

who did so much to inspire the workers
at the opening of the campaign will be
with us again and will deliver an ad-
dress at the Arcadia meeting. Rabbi
Krass occupied the pulpit of Temple
Beth El a few weeks ago, and delivered
a masterful sermon on the theme "Is
God Asleep?" He spoke at the now
famous luncheon at the Statler Hotel.
where by his forceful personality, and
dvnamic presentation of facts, aroused
the gentlemen present to a high sense
of their responsibilities with the result
that over $100,000 was subscribed in a
few minutes. It was at this meeting that
the announcement was made of the
splendid gift of Julius Freud, who by
contributing 10 per cent. of the total
fund to be raised, made him famous as
the "Rosenwald of Detroit."

Beth El, and Rabbi A. M. Hershman of
