While Jewish doctors and nurses rallied to combat the dreaded epidemic, the Mayor of Amsterdam issued an ap¬ peal for food. It was learned here that the invading Ger¬ man Army had confiscated most of the city's food supply, leaving Amsterdam with insufficient food to meet her normal needs. The epidemic In the Jewish quarter was attributed to the - fact that Jews from all parts of the land rushed to Amsterdam as soon as the Nazis started to March, hoping to secure safety In that city. The influx of Jews from the provinces, coup¬ led with Inadequate food and water, resulted In the rapidly- spreading epidemic. The Mayor has requested the Jews to abandon the Jewish quarter and seek temporary lodgings elsewhere in the city. Refugees Recaptured Jewish refugees from Bel- glum who arrived here on small boats, reported that the great majority of German-Jewish re¬ fugees, who had sought refuge In Belgium, had been recaptur¬ ed by the Invading German Army.

"Never has there been so much at stake In a communal effort.

A prompt response to the emergency abroad, in a united determined effort, was made this week when a large group of women met last Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Alfred J. Kobacker, 295 S.
