"It is the duty of every Jew to encourage ? the National Director, who has so nobly responded to this great task,' so that the entire amount be raised. "We are sorry we cannot be present to lend assistance when the campaign is made in Pittsburgh but we will be with you in spirit. Sometime ,ago we pledged to the Relief Work $10,000 regardless of whether or not there was any campaign. We now desire to raise that sum to $25,000, because now more than ever the need is pressing. We feel sure that the Pittsburgh community, as it ever has, will answer with its customary whoe-hearted generosity and good-will. MR.. & MRS. SOL ROSENBLOOM.

.Teheran, Dec. '24,-^-(J. T. A.) 10,000 Jews who, because of anti-Jewish massacres 80 years ago, were compelled to follow the Islamic faith, are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Rabbi Kornfeld of Columbus, Ohio, American envoy to Persia. The protection which they hope the American Minister will accord, will enable these Jews, living very much as their forefathers lived in Spain, practicing their Jewish faith in secret, to publicly reembrace the Jewish faith. Numerous attempts made by them within the last 80 years to reenter the Jewish faith were frustrated by threats of massacres made by the neighboring wandering tribes. Despairing of their chances at home, they recently despatched a representative to London to take up with the headquarters of the Zionist Organization there, the question of their protection as Jews, at home, or the granting of facilities for their emigration to the Holy Land.
