Aiding Adrianople Jews.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 28, 1913:
Relief Already Sent to Them from Central Association in Berlin.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    BERLIN, March 27.— The Central Jewish Relief Association, which acts on behalf of Jewish organizations in America, announces that measures have already been taken to ameliorate the plight of the 18,000 Jews who comprise a quarter of the population of Adrianople.
    Provisions, fuel, and clothing, representing an outlay of $13,000, had been assembled near the besieged city for weeks and were to-day delivered to representatives of the Jewish inhabitants.
    Two Berlin trained nurses and a surgeon equipped with hospital supplies have also been sent to Adrianople from Sofia, where they were detained.
