[4] “Mr. Bernard Richards, Secretary of the delegation from the American Jewish Congress to the Peace Conference, expressed much satisfaction with the work done in Paris for the protection of Jewish rights and the furtherance of the interests of other minorities involved in the peace settlement.” (The New York Herald, July 20, 1919.) How successful was the influence of the Jewish community at the Peace Conference may be inferred from the following:  “Mr. Henry H. Rosenfelt, Director of the American Jewish Relief Committee, announces that all New York agencies engaged in Jewish relief work will join in a united drive in New York in December to raise $7,500,000 (L1,500,000) to provide clothing, food, and medicines for the six million Jews throughout Eastern Europe as well as to make possible a comprehensive programme for their complete rehabilitation.—­American Radio News Service.”  Cf.

Le Matin, May 31, 1919.  A noteworthy example of the negligence of the authorities was narrated by this journal on the same day.  To a wooden cross with an inscription recording that the grave was tenanted by “an unknown Frenchman” was hung a disk containing his name and regiment!  And here and there the skulls of heroes protruded from the grass, but the German tombs were piously looked after by Boche prisoners.
