So one begins to realize just what Mr. Baruch has done in contributing this immense sum to such a thoroughly pur- poseful undertaking. That is the sort of thing that our millionaires con do to help the Jewish name in this country. Maybe Mr. Baruch will stimulate the imagination of some of our other wealthy men. This is rather an interesting tale. According to • story appearing in the Yiddish press, ■ Nova Scotian merchant writes that the steamer Binghamton, which sailed from Boston on July 17 bound for Europe with merchandise for the relief of European Jews, was wrecked on the 19th near Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. When the local fishermen picked up the debris they found many boxes filled with empty shoe boxes and a large number of pairs of shoes that were not matched—all rights, or all lefts—and many were second-handed. The charge is made that inasmuch as these supplies were purchased with money obtained from New England Jewry, that some investigation should be made of the implication contained in the communication that somebody has been swindling the unfortunates of Europe as well as their brethren nearer home. It seems incredible that anyone would be seeking to "clean up" at the expense of suffering humanity—though I have heard of worse things. .
