NJiW YORK, M.-ircli 0, —A splendid report of the work of the Jcwisli or- pl.aiiagc committee in CoiisLintinoplc lias just l)ccn received at the national headquarters of the Near East Relief ill New York, The local Jewish com¬ mittee and the American Near'East Re¬ lief are working in the closest co-opera tion and the Jewish orphanage comes under the general supervision of the American organization,
"Near the shore of the Golden Horn," runs the report, "in the section ¦of Constantinople knowfi as Haskeuey, is situated the Ilaskeucy Jewish or¬ phanage, which houses 90 Jewish boys and girls, who became orphans during the war or were picked np frbin the streets,
'   - Old But Clean
' "The buildings are old but clean, and there is a spirit of happiness among the children. When a Near East Re¬ lief worker viitited the orphanage the other day, a teacher was, giving a les¬ son to a group of boys, and the little girls were learning sewing. One little girl of five was busily crocheting a piece of lace. The lace had a well-made appearance aiid not a .stitch was missed Although the children were in cheap - little grey orphanage dresses, they each had- individuality, "which showed that some one was taking a personal in ,terest  in  them.
"The. old stove in the tiny kitchen . was kept white with whitewash or some kind of; white paint, and the Icitchen shelves were covered with gay colored paper. Two big ketyes of bean soup were boiling oil the stove.
Fine  Order

Vani, who is in charge"of this orphan¬ age, is to be congratulated upon - the ¦work she is doing for these children with the facilities at her disposal.'
"The Near East Relief aids this or¬ phanage by giving a certain sum - of money 'to the Jewish orphanage com¬ mittee of Constahtinople, It is the hope of the Jewish orphanage committee to remove these children to better quar¬ ter?,"
- Very  Gratifying
To the Jews in tliis country who ar<i contributing to the Near East Relief, and there are many such, the report of the work that is being done with children of their own race must be particularly gratifying, Constantinople is,only one of several centers in which Jewish orphans are being cared for, either in orphanages of their own or as mctnbers of a general Near East Relief family.
The Near East Relief owes its in- "ccption to one of the most splendid Jewish leaders of our country, Henry 'Morgenthau, at that time ambassador at Const.-intinople. It was started in 1915 in response to a cable from him Io 'Washington, urging the formation of a committee to alleviate the* s.uffer- ingSjOf the Armenians and Greeks, vic- ¦^.tims of Turkish deportations, 'While in 'Constantinople, both he and his suc- tessor, Hon, AJiram I, Elkus, were most active in furthering the work of the committee,

NEW YORK, (J, C, H.)—"The Jews of Russia and the Ukraine count the days on their fingers in order to know when the Sabbjith begins because there is no suoli thing as a calendar in Russia," said M, Spcctor, well- known Jewish author, at a meeting of representatives of 103 Jewish organi¬ zations called to consider wiiys and means of forwarding Jewish books to Russia,
The bool^ famine was pictured as being as grave as the foo<l famine by another author, S, Niger, who was supported in his pica by Moissayc Olgin .ind M, Roschkes, president of the All Russian JcwLsh Public Commit¬ tee.
Resolutions pledging the support of all organiiiations represented, in the col¬ lection of Jewish books were carried, the People's Relief Committee heading the list of organizations with' a sub¬ stantial contribution.

A GREAT SURPRISE
FOR THOSE ATTENDING
Intermarriage is forbidden by Jewish law as distinctly voiced in the Book of Deuteronomy to quote the words: "Thou shalt not make marriages with them," ("Them" rcferrhig to the seven Canaan- ite nations,) "Thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son, for he will turn away, thy son, from following inc that they may serve other gods," . . .- Thus shalt thou deal with them, break their altars, dash to pieces their- pillar^.
. , ,Burn their gr.iven images witli fire, for thou art holy people to the Lord thy God."
I,
Those words are in the Mosaic Law. How is it then that we find instances of frequent   intermarriages   between   He brews and the surrounding peoples witl
Cunfcssion to God, "Separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from till; foreign women." Listening to his burning words, the peopled cried — 'As MitHi hast .<.ai'(l, so it is for us to do.'
l!t A Turning Point
't;jt.rc we condemn what might seem to l4 a decree cruel, let us realize that "the (iltiirc of the Jewish faith was in the 'tebucc. It was a turning point in the hiitory of Israel, like unto the moment, iOO years earlier, when Elijah made his .'SCh;at appeal. It meant a fight for the .^e of the Jewish faith. They ^ were a TOy people at best. Tliey were beginning h be scattered among the varied sur- ifOUiidiiig peoples, Wc know what hap- ,=5j^Vwhen a large drop of water is sUr- Jj^ndcd by tiny drops.

NEW Y6RK, (J. C, n,)—Six pri¬ vate dwellings on West 08th Street be¬ tween Central Park West and Colum¬ bus Avenue will be torn down im¬ mediately to make room for a syna¬ gogue house which will be erected by [.the congregation of the Free Syna¬ gogue at a cost of $2">0,000, of which $170,000 has been subscribed. The new building, a five-story structure, will house a seminary for the training of students for the ministry of the Re¬ formed Jewish faith, a religious school, a child adoiition bureau and othtr ac¬ tivities.
Dr. Stephen S. Wise s:iid that the Erce Synagogue for the next five or ten years would continue to worship in Car¬ negie Hall. He told his congregation that the project had been regarded as more vital by the executive council than the building of a new home for the Free Synagogue at this time.
The new structure will be completed in  November,

JERUSALEM,—Exactly three years after the organization of the Hadassah Training .School for Nurses by the Hadasscih Medical Organization (form¬ erly known as the American Zionist Medical Unit) the graduation ceremony of the first class of the school took place.

Thoro Training
The school is made up of Palestinian girls, who have received a thorough training in nursing from members of the Medical Unit, and is supported by Hadassah, the women's Zionist Organi¬ zation of this country.
Miss Henrietta Szold, who presided, traced the history of the foundation of the Hadassah Medical Organization (formerly known as the American Zion¬ ist Medival Unit) and the School, and expr«ssed her gratitude to the American women who had made the school possi¬ ble.

As soon as his report js received the organization of the new schools will be started. With regard to this matter, too, the Commit¬ tee on Reconstruction of the Joint Dis- triliution Committee, through its Euro¬ pean director, Mr, Alexaiider:.I.audesco, has been in touch with tln^lCA, and in 'iddition nej^otiations have"'been entered with the ORT Society, which has since pte-war-times been the leader in the movement for the advance of trades among the Jews of Russia and Poland. <CoiiitlniMd oa p»f» f)

It now has an opportunity to remove those petty griev- 'ances which tend to dim the brightness of our glorious religion.
"Whether man be Reform or Ortho¬ dox, Zionist or Anti-Zionist, the B'nai B'rith offers him an opportunity socially to meet with his co-religionists on a com¬ mon plane. We hope the B'nai B'rith of Columbus may prove to be and re¬ main such a happy meeting ground, This is our first real social effort itj years'. We hope its success will merit many such future  events."
Closer Communion
Columbus Jewry have long expressed a desire to come into closer contact with our boys at the University. That Zion Lodge hopes to foster, this relationship is shown by their invitation to the Univer¬ sity fraternities,
Heber Bros, orchestra and Entertain¬ ers have been engaged for the event,
Mr, Ben Kaplan, Vice-President of tho Lodge, who because of illness has been obliged to temporarily give up his duties as chairman of the Entertainment com mittee, expressed much pleasure at the encouraging reports of the committee's progress.
