Persistent Advertising Is the Road to Success. Advantage is to be taken of the j Jewish holy days beginning Septem ber 17 with the adventiof the Jewish New Year, which, in the Jewish cal endar, is the year 5678 and which will continue until Yom Kippur, Sep tember 26, to raise at least $1,000,000 toward the $10,000,000 Jewish war re lief fund. This announcement was made yesterday by Henry H. Rosen Ult, assistant to the executive direc tor of the American Jewish relief committee, of which Louis Marshall is chairman. During the holy days more than 1,000 important cities throughout the United States will be scenes of special appeals in the synagogues and speak ers have been assigned to practically every svnagoguc in the United States tor this occasion. The objective of the campaign, winch is also to be par ticipated in by the central relief com mittee and the people's relief com mittee, is $1,000,000. To Secure Rosenwald Gift. It is essential, it is explained, that not less than this sum be raised, for the reason that the offer ot Julius Rosenwald of Chicago to give 10 per cent of all funds raised in America up to $10,000,000 expires on Novem ber 1. The S1U.UU0.UUU fund must be raised prior to that date in order that the fund shall receive the $1,000,000 from Mr. Rosenwald as promised. During the last month, Mr. Rosen wald announced, the country at large, outside of New York City, contrib uted toward the Jewish war relief fund $442,531.31. most of which was received from cities ot less than JUU,. 000 population. Four Million in Gotham. The announcement is also made that the American Jewish relief com mittee earty in October is to con duct a campaign in New York City, the purpose of which is to raise $4, 000,000 from the Jewish residents of New York. This campaign will be of a whirlwind character and will be compressed into a few days. Despite the contributions of a number of wealthy Jews in New York notably Jacob H. Schiff, Nathan Straus, Fe lix M. Warburg and others New York, it is stated, has fallen behind the rest of the country when the size and wealth of its Jewish population are considered. The per capita con tributions in other parts of the coun try have been much larger. Mr. Ko senfelt, in announcing the campaign for the holy days, made the following statement: Day of Atonement. "The solemn occasion of Y'om Kip pur, or day of atonement, has ever been the signal for thoughts and deeds of unselfish kindness on the part of the Jewish people. This tradition finds greater scope today than ever before. "The latest advices from Russia, from Palestine 8nd from all parts of Europe indicate that the Jewish non combatant populations of all coun tries in the war rone are suffering un told misery a misery which is being accentuated with every passing day of the great conflict. "The $10,000,000 which American Jewry has undertaken to raise dur ing this year, and which must be raised, is inadequate at best to more than stop the pangs of the most des perate hunger, to alleviate the most sore distress and to comfort those in the direst straights of destitution. It is hoped that the forthcoming cam paign for Jewish war relief during the holy days will result in directing the thought and sympathy of every Jew in America to those in Europe who are solely dependent upon the relief furnished from the United States. "It is not too much to say that such contributions as America has thus far made to the cause of Jewish war relief alone have prevented the ob literation, the absolute extermination of the Jewish race in many lands by starvation."

Real Estate Men Are Stronci for the Pipe Line A ..mm rotfnra nrfrf HisrUSsitlST the other day the proposed pipe line for oil from Wyoming and recent newspaper articles that have appear ed boosting such a project. ' "Nothing that the Omaha Real Estate board could take up would be more profitable or more popular," said one, "than the promotion of Oil and gas lines from Wyoming, and interuban lines into western Iowa and eastern Nebraska." The discussion was interesting because all were of ,-., r,nininn that these lines of de velopment and investment had been neglected and perhaps the real estate dealers of the city were somewhat at fault. This subject of large enterprises to be furthered by the real estate board has again brought up the question of how far an organization of real estate men should take up public enter prises of this sort. There is a differ ence of opinion locally, as well as. throughout the country. This is one of the matters of policy that must come before the board in the near future. The board now has committees tor this purpose, but the sentiment has not been enthusiastic enough so that the committees have not given much attention during the last year to this line of work. Many of the members feel that the time is at hand for a hearty and united effort and that realtors should be the leaders in bringing about two great improve ments centering in the gate city of the west, and there was never a more Kir time herause of the demand for the product of the Wyoming oil fields and the demand for transport of people and of farm products, which interuban lines will give. Both en terprises will devolp the country ad jacent in a marked way. Realtors Will Resume Sessions This Week The regular weekly meetings of the Omaha Real Estate board will open again this week, Wednesday noon at the Commercial club.
