ON SOUTH SIDE
Business Men Give Ready Re
sponse to Appeal for Or
phan Children of Strick
v en France.
It is not often that business men,
accustomed to dealing with the prac
tical side of life, are giving to weep
ing, but tears stood in the eyes of
many a veteran of the Stock exchange
as they assembled in front of the Ex
change building Friday afternoon and
listened to Madame Guerin of Lyons,
France, who is touring America, on
behalf of the French orphans, tell the
sad story of her stricken country at
the hands of the Huns.' ,
Madame Guerin, who has lost three
brothers in the war, and whose hus
band is now with his country's forces
at the front, told in vivid language of
the tens of thousands of homeless
children of France, scantily clad and
hungry, whose only hope lies in Ame
rica's generosity.
On many pdevious occasions speak
ers at the Exchange building had told
of the terror and destruction wrought
by the invading hosts of "kultur," but
the eloquent plet of Madame Guerin
stirred the hearts of the stockmen as
no other speaker had done.
Mogy Bernstein, who is managing
Madame Guerin's Omaha campaign,
also made a short talk. Little Char
lotte Brant, who has raised over
$8,000 in Omaha or war purposes by
hex singing and dancing, and Mis3
Agnes Britton, pianist, furnished en
tertainment for the audience. Four
Omaha young women, Misses Philimo
Doyle, Rose Whalen, Lois Clements
and Miss Fleming, assisted by selling
small buttons, bearing the American
and trench flag3, and the inscription,
"united in Liberty's cause." The buyer
paid any sum he wished to give, and
more ,than $125 was jraised in a short
time. Several dollars more was raised
when the party stopped or a , few
minutes at Twenty-fourth and N
.streets.
More than $79 was raised in a simi
lar manner at South Side theatres last
Monday night. The unds will be
turned over to Madame A. Borghlum,
treasurer of the French Orphan so
ciety, i

Soldiers Observe Fast of
Tisha Be-ab in Army Camps
Tisha Be-ab.' the day of mourning
of the Tews in exile, was observed
yesterday in all of the army canton
ments in this country, under the
auspicies of the Jewish Welfare board,
United States army and navy. This
annual fast and lamentation for the
destruction of Jerusalem took on a
new significance this year in view of
the fact that a Jewish battalion is
now fighting to free Palestine and a
British commission is working on
plans for its restoration.
The fast of Tisha Be-ab is widely
observed by the orthodox because
of the triple tragedy that befell the
Jewish people on the ninth day of the
month of Ab. On this date, 2,504
years ago, the city of Jerusalem was
captured, the temple de-troyed and
the Babylonian captivity began. Six
and one-half centuries later. Jeru
salem fell to Titus, the Roman con
queror, on the ninth of Ab. The last
despairing effort of the Jews to save
themselves from the yoke ot Rome
tailed when the rebellion of Bar-
Kochba ended in a massacre on the
ninth of Ab 60 years later.
