Several hundred New York Jews, natives of the Vilna district, attended to-day a meeting summoned by Mr. Ab. Cahan, the editor-in-chief of the “Jewish Daily Forwards”, who is Treasurer of the Vilna Landsmanschaft, to consider ways and means of providing relief for the victims of the Vilna floods. 1,000 dollars were collected at the meeting, which will be immediately sent to Vilna, and arrangements are being made to raise more funds. A Committee has been elected to organise a campaign on behalf of the victims of the Vilna floods.
