THE man who wrote the following
"squib" certainly knew whereof he
spoke: ga good LEGAL newspaper beats
the world as an ad, ertising medium.
A hand bill attracts attention by ac-
cident. The newspaper carries your
message to waiting audience. The
fence rail ad. is corpse that can only
be looked upon by a few neighbors
who have to go near it. The news

takes seat in the family circle and

pay for that kind of an entertainment.

the AMERICAN FIGHTER.

: The American fighter, be he soldier
or s@ilor, respects his body and re-
allies that he has soul. The Hone
tula Star the day after the American
soldiers landed says:
''Could amy thing be finer than the
conduct of Uncle Sans boys yesterday
Cooped up as they had been in the
transports, given free shore leave in a
town that they were strange to, among
people they did not know, there was
every temptation to cut loose and show
the worst side of their nature. But
this town saw what probably no other
town has ever seen, and that is a
couple of thousand men given liberty
and not case which called for police
interference.
''Of course, this comes from the
peculiar material of which these troops
are composed. They are no riffraff, no
sweeping of the purlieus of city.
They are the pick and choice of the
growing western states. Had not the
call of duty come, these youth one and
ali woulG have been filling honorabl
positions and laying the foundations
of their own prosperity and that of
the community in which they lived"

The Jews of Charleston, s. C., raised a company of Israel's youth and put them in the field; Samuel Mordecai Noah served on General Washingtons staff and after ward with General Marion, anC con- tributed 30 70 pounds sterling towards the war fund. Major Fr1nks headed a large party of wealthy and influential Jews from Canada, who came over to offer their wealth and personal service to the young struggling nation The records of. those trying days are re- plete with the recital of patriotic acts of men like Samuel Judah, Hyman Levy, Jacob Moses, Jonas Phillips, Isaac Seixas and r any others whose names clearly indicate their Jewish parentage.

They serce in every arm and branch of the na- tion's defense with zeal and fidelity, never thinking that they are anything but Americans.
 In the work of the Red Cross So- ciety the Jews have taken very prom inent part from the very inception. Their men and women have contrib uted their time, means and talent to- ward the furtherance of the noble cause. The rabbis of this city have been conspicuous with word and deed, in enhancing the great work, and were among the first to raise their voices publicly to arouse the people to prompt and vigorous action. The con- tributions of the Jews toward the Red Cross funds have been conspicuous for their generosity, while some of the Jewish women have been assigned to most important committees. Mrs. l. Lowenberg, as chairman of the hos pitality committee, has accomplished a marvellous amount of work, and has evinced wonderful tact and ability in handling the difficult position Mrs. Louis Sloss has collected more funds for the cause than any other woman in this city. M. H. Hecht, as chairman of the committee to provide hospital ship, has been untiring in his efforts, Mr. Hecht, Mrs Sloss and Rabbi Voor sanger are among the pioneers of the movement and among the most effi- cient workers.

Why, I didn't have any watch, or wouldn't have looked at it if I had one, but I can say that the time felt something like few years to me. Not because the fright had unnerved me-for it did not but because I saw and thought the things of a lifetime.

I think this accounts for my semi-comatoSe condl- tion most of the way down. It was just like a person awaking to find himself sleeping in a room filled with gas. He is conscious enough of his surround ings but too weak mentally and phys ically to be of much assistance to him. self. With the weight of the balloon and the immense volume of gas it con- tained I was in a perilous condition, and if I had to stand it much longer I believe I would have been choked to death.
