OF VICTORIA ACCEPTS PRESIDENCY OP HOUSTON BANK Special to Victoria, Tex., April S. E. Hol- land, who has been actively connected with the'Victoria National linnk for the past fifteen yearn in the capacity of president, has resigned his position irnd left bore Tuesday for Houston, where hn will president nf the new Klrst Texas Joint Stock Load OJaalt, Thj People of Galveston to Answer Six million Jews in Poland, Lithuania, Galicia, Palestine, Turkey and Siberia are dying of starvation. Refugees, they wander homeless, hungry, in rags. Herbert Hoover has said that one million people will die in Eastern Europe this winter. Thousands upon thousands will perish of starvation and exposure unless jrnTnp.fHn.tp, aid comes from America. The destitution of Jew- ish war sufferers during the coming months will probably surpass anything ever known in the history of human suffering. Their suffering is worse than is the lingering torture of starvation, the piteous tragedy of emaciation, the horrible waiting, in agony of hunger, for the grim reaper to end their misery. These six minion despairing souls are totally dependent on Amp.-rif.aTi generosity for the bare necessities of life. _.-_i With this picture before us, how can we have the heart to sit down com- fortably at our tables if we have not given to the limit to save the lives of these afflicted people. Only those who do not know can refuse to give. Only those who have not been told of children 5 years of age who, through want of food, have never been able to walk, of mothers who hide the dead bodies of their children to retain the bread those who have not heard of these heart-rending conditions can turn complacently aside the appeal for help.
