♦ - -•
NEW YORK, Fobs 10.—That the
condition of the Jews in the eastern
war lone of Flurepe is sppaiing, is
the burner of a report issued here
by the American Jewish relief coro
■ mittee.
The report contains about 40,000
words, and is divided into four sec
tions. covering Russia. Galicia, Ron
rvania and Palestine. The Rus
sian section, which is the largest, is
based exclusively on the data em
anating from aon-Jewish, Russian
or allied sources.
The report indicates that the
TjOOO.OOO Jews affected—who con
stitute c-o half of the Jewish pop
ulation of the world—have by rea
son of their unfortunate geographic
position actually borne the brunt of
the war's boidea in Eeastern Europe
Nearly fi.QOO.OOO Jews, the report
saysjur* now facing destitution,
their homes having bees pillaged
and destroyed, their industries and
> trade* ruined, and the entire fabric
of their economic uplift torn asua
i der.
Hundreds of thousands, it is said,
were forced to leave their heroes at
a day's notice, among them even
the immediate families of the
-SOMO Jewish soldiers at the Rus
sian battle front.
"The more fortunate of these,”
‘continues the report. “Were packed
and shipped as freight, old sues,
worse® and children locked together
with tie sick and insane in sealed
freight cars, shuttled from town to
town, sidetracked for days without
food or help of any kind, and the
less fortunate being driven into tie
woods and swamps jo die of star
vation.”

For weeks they drove westward
and finally passed over the Indiana

north of Muskegon. They continued
©e intending to go as far north as
possible, when their mules, by rea

them, died. As a consequence the
robbers were able to go no farther
and after a conference they decided
to bury their treasure and meet at
Montague a year later and unearth
After this agreement each left
for a different point.
During the year three of the gang
were arrested and were given long
