20 JEWISH SITUATION HAS NO PARALLEL IN LONG HISTORY Louis Marshal, National Chairman Jewish Relief, Stops In Raleigh CONFERS WITH LOCAL WORKERS ON CAMPAIGN All I Calamities of Past, Says Marshall Have Been Repeated and On Unfortunate Jewish People of Eastern Europe There has never been a time in the long history of the Jewish people, not even in the days when Titus destroyed Jerusalem, not even in the sombre days of the medieval ghettos, when we were confronted by such a situation 38 that which we have been compelled to face during the last seven tragic years," said Louis Marshall, of New York, chairman of the National American Jewish Relief Committee, who was in Raleigh yesterday. Mr. Marshall, member of the nationally known law firm of Guggenheim, Untermeyer and Marshall, stopped here for a few hours Saturday on his way to New, Orleans where he will attend Louisiana State Conference of the American Jewish Relief. While here, he conferred with William Perlstein and Sam Berwanger who have charge of the Jewish Relief Work in Raleigh. have been when in various countries in Europe the Jews have undergone shocking persecution, continued Mr.

Marshall. "On one fatal day the edict went forth to the 600,000 Jews in Spain that drove them out of the land of their birth. On innumerable occasions, even within very recent memory, pogroms have occurred in Russia and in Poland, and butcheries have taken place everywhere. Time and again we from the subtle. antisemitism of Germany and of other European countries." Concentrated Calamities "It has, however, been our unfor tunate lot to witness all the calamities of the past repeated and concentrated for the undoing of our brothers and sisters in Eastern rope.

For generations our forefathers, as we still do, have recited 011 the (Passover) night an account plagues that visited Sedate ancient Egypt. But the ten plagues multiplied tenfold would not begin to measure the misfortunes that I have overwhelmed the ancient Jewries of Russia, Poland, Galicia, Hungary and other Central and East European lands, upon the outbreak of the great World War. "The Jews of America recognized from the very beginning how serious the world conflict, would be. They knew, alas! that from seven to eight million of the household of Isreal had been caught between the embattled armies like rats trap. They knew that these unfortunates were the 1 persecuted of the earth and the hated of mankind because they had, through all the centuries, remained true to their noble traditions.

England was engaged as combatant if the terrible war; so was France; so was Italy. Central Europe was a fortified camp. Russia with all the adjoining countries, was in the midst of a seething cauldron. For three years our beloved country was out of the conflict, and more than 3,00 miles from the ensanguined battlefield. We were prosperous and our hearts went forth with the message that we would give of the fruits of our prosperity to our fainting brethren.

Our effort has been impressive. Up to the present time the Jews of the United States with the aid of their non-Jewish fellow citizens have collected 000, and up to this date have pended almost the whole cf it. Considering the Future. "And we have now to consider the present and the future. We have helped to keep alive these millions after a fashion.

All were self-respecting. Most of them who were rich have lost all their belongings, and entire communities have become poverty-stricken. They been bereft of all their possessions. They have no means of earning a livelihood. They have 110 implements with which to work.

They have no material to convert into a mechanical product, and 110 capital with which to carry on any business. We have kept such of them as have survived alive until now. Shall we desert them at this critical moment! "That is the question we are to decide today! All that the Jew needs is an opportunity. You must not only give them that opportunity, but you must keep them alive and free them from these terrible epidemics of which they have been the prey. That can only be accomplished by the establishment of a sicenMific system of sanitation.

We contemplate the rebuilding of the ruined bath houses in the various communities wherever feasible. We have taught the people the principles of modern hygiene, and effective missionary work is being done in that respect. "Then I wish to call your attention to the problem of the orphans. I doubt whether any of us appreciate the extent of the problem. We cannot visualize them.

Let me try to lielp you to do 60. You know what American Jews have done for their own orphans in this country. You know of our beautiful and well. equipped orphanages that have been established in every large community. There are three million Jews in the United States; and in all the Jewish orphanages in this country, there are ten thousand orphans.

And yet, in eastern Europe and in Palestine, there approximately three hundred thousand Jewish war orphans, many of them the victims of unspeakable pogroms. I ask you whether or not we have performed our full duty 60 long as these orphans are not provided for, 60 long, af least, as we have failed to save them from the temptations of the gutter to which the have been consigned by a cruel fate.

During these unnatural war times, the Jews, who had for centuries settled down in countless villages and towns, were driven from their homes.

What they are yearning for is to be repatriated.

Though remembering the dreadful lives that they have led 8 those step-father lands in which they were born, they still revert in their hearts to their forsaken homes.

Investigation of a number of the larger fires has been ordered by Commissioner Wade. Three fires in Wilmington since the first of the year, aggregating, a loss of $325,000, and in Kinston with a loss of $250,000, account for a large part of the total loss, but numerous smaller fires in other places have aided materially to the total loss. Greenville reports a loss of $150,000 for the month, and there are a dozen above $10,000. Over-insurance as a reason for the number of fires has been discarded in theory by Commissioner Wade because of the fact that in most instances the losses have been greater than the amount of insurance carried.

It is the experience of the Department that few deliberate fires occur when the insurance is smaller than the amount of the loss. Over-taxed heating systems, due to the unusual coldness of the weather during the month is, in the opinion of Mr. Wade, the probable explanation of the large increase in the number of fires, and in the larger losses. In most of the buildings burned, the fire is believed to have originated in the heating equipment. The State Fire Marshal is cautioning property owners.

to be more careful of their heating rangements. Several of the smaller Ares have been, the under department, investigation where by, there agents is reason to suspect that the fire was of incendiary origin. Inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the larger fires have indicated no reason for believing hat the origin was incendiary.
