The outstanding feature of the New
York campaign, said Mr. Billikopf,
was not the splendid outpouring of the
many wealthy Jew's who had hitherto
been unknown in Jewish activities. It
was the glorious magnanimity of the
working class Jews of the East Side,
the 75,000 members of the needle
trades unions who pledged one day's
wages to the cause. The recital of
this wonderful action of the poor oc-
casioned the greatest applause of the
day by the gathering at the luncheon.
"The $10,000,000 drive, which really

might have been raised without Mr.
Rosenwald's money or that of any
other single individual, but the suc-
cess of the campaign was impossible
without David A. Brown," said Mr.
Billikopf.

"The great appeal to Jewish hu-

of Jews have burned away over night

tween groups and classes of Jews that
had seemed so deep-seated that they

JEW OF SHANGHAI WILL BUILD
HOSPITAL IN JERUSALEM.

Mr. E. S. Kadoorie, a leading mer-
chant of Shanghai and an active Zion-
ist, is prepared to build a hospital in
Jerusalem at a minimum cost of
$50,000. Mr. Kadoorie, who has made
this offer to the English Zionist Fed-
eration, binds himself to increase this
amount if it is not sufficient to cover
the cost of the proposed institution.

The Third Zionist
Convention in Warsaw

Details have just heti) received of
the third Zionist Conference held in
Warsaw on October 28th, and which
was attended by more than 360 dele-
gates from the entire empire, repre-
senting 40,010 Shekel payers.
The conference was held in one of
the largest halls of the city and was
surrounded by a number of very at-
tractive features. One was a series
of Jewish art exhibitions. The
- Ilarefirah" was published daily dm-
Mg the conference. The particular
questions that came up for discussion
w ere: The problems of the Zionists
in Poland; the position of the Zion-
ist, within Polish Jewry; culture and
educational work in Palestine, and the
Zionist duty toward l'alestine; the
economic tasks of the Zionist Organ-
ization.
Almost simultaneously with the Zi-
onist conference of the general Zion-
ist organization of Poland, the Poale
Zion held its fifth conference, which
was attended by 44 delegates repre-
senting 26 towns. Travel difficulty
prevented a burger representation.
The l'oale Zion Conference dealt
with the question of international so-
cialism and the national demands of
the Jewish workers. The comm ference
gave proof that notwithstanding all
of the difficulties with which the par-
ty in Poland is laboring, it has never-
theless made excellent progress. in
1915 the l'olish Poale Zion consisted
of 500 members, divided into four so-
cieties. Its membership at the present
time is 8,000 in 46 district groups.

After The War

And The Jew!

The Jew is playing a great part in the destinies of every Nation now
engaged in the Great War.

The influence of the Jew in the epochal period of reconstruction
after the War will be still greater.

He will take his place prominently in every movement for social bet-
terment ant! world peace.
