"Friends tell me that he aged greatly after the beginning of the war. The spirit at Harvard has been very bitter, and it has doubtless told on him.

PLEA MADE FOR JEWS Sl'FFBRIXG IX PALESTINE TOLD BY DR. MOSIXSSOHX. Ben Selling" I'rge. "Give Till It Harts," and Saya other Place Are Show ing More Charity. Dr. Ben Zion Mosinssohn, noted Zion ist and founder of the Hebrew Gym nasium at Jaffa, Palestine, last night after an enthusiastic reception at the B'nal B'rlth Hall, pictured in a lecture in Yiddish to a big and representative gathering of the Jewish. People in Portland the horrors and suffering that are being endured by the 120,000 Jews in Palestine, who, he said, prefer op pression and even death to the desertion of the culture that their work there represents. Flour costs the sufferers 25 cents a pound and that sum is equal to SI in this country, declared Dr. Mosinssohn In his plea that the Jewish people of Portland raise $2000 to aid in the relief. Five committees of three members each will open a campaign in Portland to morrow in an endeavor to raise the sum from among the Jewish people. "Now consider what has happened to Belgium, Serbia and Montenegro and then remember that the whole civilized world has raised its voice in protest against the horrors visited on these peoples." said Dr. Mosinssohn. "Why Is it that the Jew, who voluntarily gives his best to the countries in which he lives, receives in return nothing but the worst?" "Give till it hurts, and only when it hurts charity starts," declared Ben Sell ing in a talk in English. "The Jewish people are said to be the most chari table people in the world. I am sorry to say that this is not so here. Zionists in many other places have raised far greater sums than has been asked of Portland."

MUNSTERBERG KIND PROFESSOR LOYAL FRIEND TO HIS STUDENTS, Dr. Eleanor Rowland, of Reed College, Recalls Traits of Her Former Mentor at Radcliffe. There was another side ef Hugo Munsterberg which the public, which knew him chiefly on account of his controversies, could not see, says Dr. Eleanor Rowland, professor of psy chology at Reed College, who for many years was a friend and student of Professor Munsterberg's at Harvard This was his personality as a profes sor in the classroom and friend of the students. With his students bis de meanor was most kindly. He was in no way the hard, mechanical, unemo (tional machine which the public often pictures the scientific professor. No one but his students ever saw the finest and best in him," said Dr. Rowland. At the time I was attend ing Radcliffe and taking graduate and post-graduate work .with Professor Munsterberg there was no world war and the relations between Germany and America were most cordial.
