Detroit Metropolitan War Chest
Campaign Passes $3,000,000 Mark
Dr. Abba Hillel Silver Discloses That Another
Refugee Ship Has Just Arrived at Baltimore
At press time the campaign
had just passed the $3,000,000
mark, or just beyond the half-
way point toward the goal, with
another week of campaigning
left in which time to secure the
outstanding $2,800,000. Many
large corporations are still to be
heard from and returns are not
yet in from solicitation of indus-
trial workers in the larger plants.
As reports begin coming in from
these sources, it is predicted that
the campaign will gain momen-
tum.
Following his talk at the cam-
paign meeting lest Monday, Rabbi
Silver disclosed to a group of
Jewish workers in a private dis-
cussion, that another refugee ship
had just arrived at Baltimore
from Lisbon, and that the Jew-
ish agencies are busy arranging
for the distribution of the new
arrivals to various communities
throughout the country. Rabbi Sil-
ver stated that a total of seven
thousand refugees, in fear of
deportation to the East from Hol-
land, Belgium and France, have
fled to neutral Switzerland and
Spain in the past three months.
Sixty-five hundred of these es-
caped from France and five hun-
dred from Holland and Belgium.
The refugees, of whom six thou-
sand entered Switzerland and one
thousand entered Spain without
legal documents, are destitute. At
least half of the arrivals in Spain
have been interned or jailed. The
Joint Distribution Committee, in
cooperation with local Jewish
committees, is making strenuous
efforts to alleviate the situation
of these refugees. The Joint Dis-
tribution Committee has received
word today by cable from its rep-
resentative in Lisbon that six
thousand refugees have crossed
the Swiss border and are being
held in special camps by the au-
thorities. Until recently, as many
as two hundred twenty refugees

Doren, who wrote its introduc-
tion, has stated that he considers
it a "must" for all America to

is of especial importance becauso
of its disclosures to those who

War I and World War II.
"When the War Between the
States broke out in 1861 Bnai
Brith had a membership of 3,800
organized in 42 lodges. Neverthe-
less it was already the largest
national Jewish organization, and
as such it gave a good account of
itself. The three District Lodges
than in existence made provisions
to care for the families of mem-
bers who answered Lincoln's call
for volunteers, (Pisgah Lodge
which was only four years old
in 1861 joined with other lodges
in the country in the cause of
preserving the union.) In 1863,
during the war, District Grand
Lodge No. 2 raised a fund with
which to establish the now famous
Cleveland Jewish Orphan Home.
The motivating factor in opening
the home was the need for car-
ing for the increasing number of
orphans of Jewish soldiers killed
in the war. Other highlights dur-
ing this period was when General
Grant ordered the expulsion of
Jews from Tennessee and Ken-
tucky, a Bnai Brith delegation
waited on Lincoln and prevailed
upon him to countermand the or-
der. President Lincoln's attention
to a message from Gen. Butler,
commander of Fortress Monroe,
which contained a slur on Jews
was corrected.

four Ball, sponsored by the Zion-
ist Organization of Detroit, prom-
ises to be the most successful af-
fair in its history.
This most outstanding Jewish
event of the year takes place Sat-
urday night, Nov. 14, at the
Statler Hotel. Music and en-
tertainment will be furnished by
Dave Diamond's orchestra. Re-
freshments will be served.
The proceeds of the Balfour
Ball are essential in order to car-
ry on the work of Zionism in
our community. The educational
and youth work of the Detroit
Zionist District are almost en-
tirely dependent upon the pro-
ceeds of the Ball.
A most enjoyable evening is
promised to those who attend.
