11 THE JEWISH CHRONICLE Detroit's Dynamic Leader Initiates Conference of Associates at Chi- cago—Make Volunteer Offer of All Resources to Aid Food Conservation Campaign. Appreciating the necessity of co- operating with the government in its food conservation program, David A. Brown, president of the General Ice Delivery Co., one of the largest . ice producing organizations in the coun- try, called together the heads of simi- lar Companies for a conferenCe at Chicago last week. Mr. - Brown was elected to preside over the meeting. He emphasized the importance of the ice industry in its relation to the preservation of foods, and made valu- able suggestions as to the proper or- ganization necessary to work, in har- mony with the government on a vol- untary basis. Mr. Brown exhorted his associates to put aside all thought of personal profit for the duration of war. "The ice industry of this country must go on record as backing to the very limit the plans of Food Administrator Hoover and President Wilson," said Mr. Brown. "Before this conference adjourns we should state in no un- measured terms that our resources of every nature, man power, machine power and money power, are at the disposal of the national directors. "Any man who comes here with the idea that he is going to learn how to spend a penny and get a dollar in re- turn has cheated himself," declared the noted Detroiter, in his character- istically dynamic manner. "We are here as citizens of a democracy, to give, and not to take. He who would seek to enrich himself in this hour of national danger might better make arrangements right now to return from whence he came." The conference resulted in placing the entire storage house capacity of both the artificial and natural ice in- dustries, totalling hundreds of mil- lions of cubic feet, at the disposal of the government. Cheaper ice for the farmer, to enable him to conserve both his vegetable and live stock pro- ducts, was also pledged by the confer- ence. Former Secretary of State Edward Lazansky is a democratic candidate for supreme court justice of the sec- ond department, which includes Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.

Evidently with the permission of the authorities, the Central Executive Committee of the German Zionist FCticIation has sent a remarkable let- ter' of greeting to their brethren, the Zionists, in Russia. The 'folloWing are excerpts from this letter, which is signed by Profes- sor Otto Warburg.' "The 'Russian , Revolution has brought freedom to the Russian Jews. Deeply moved, we greet our Russian brothers. We were one with you in your strivings and experiences. Your fight was our fight. It was in your struggle for freedom that we all found our. deepest inspiration, and it was this struggle that was most strongly expressed in the Zionist movement. Full of hope, we look to the future, when we may work together for our people in their national aspirations. Out of the cry of the oppressed peo- ples of Russia for freedom there came loud and clear the demands of the Jews of Russia. They made their de- mands fully conscious of the deep sig- nificance of the time through which they were passing. "The Jews of Russia has ever been the truest, the most active, the most de- voted, in the ranks of the Zionist cause. Our gratitude is deep beyond expression. Russian Jewry, freed from its chains, and thoroughly aware of its national aims, has infused new hope and strength into our movement, and has brought nearer the day of the realization of our age-long ideal. "The message was sent in the name of the Central Executive Committee of the German Zionist Organization, anti obviously with the sanction of the German authorities." WILL OF LEOPOLD DE ROTHS- CHILD CONTAINS NO CHAR- ITY BEQUESTS. $7,000,000 Estate Goes to Wife. and . Sons—Impresses Charitable Duties on Sons. The full text of the will of the late Leopold de Rothschild is given in the latest issue of the London Jewish Chronicle just received in this city. For probation purposes the estate was sworn at 1,500,000 ($7,000,000) "so far as can be ascertained." The sons Lionel; Eve- lyn and Anthony are named as execu- tors. Only one charitable gift is made, that of £2,000 to King's College School. The lack of further charitable bequests is ex- plained in the following clause in the will: "I desire to state that I have not left further charitable legacies as I know that my sons will not be forgetful of their duty in this respect." The estate goes to the wife and the sons. Leopold de Rothschild concludes his will by the following paragraph: "I desire to state that I have already in my lifetime provided sufficient for the requirements of my dear wife and I have therefore not made any monetary gift to her by this will, and further that I have not hereby specifically divided my property among my sons because I have the utmost confidence in their good sense and affection for each other and .1 am sure that they will arrive at a fair and equitable division in the same way as my brothers and I did after our dear father's death. It is announced in the Berliner Tageblatt that a socialist interpella- tion will be presented in the reichstag concerning the expulsion of Austrian Jews from Posen, Oppein and Bres- lau, although they have been resi- dents there for decades and lived as good and prosperous citizens.
