OPPOSITION TO JEWISH REGIMENT.

The plan TO form Jewish regiment in the New
York National Guard has aroused considerable op-
position, il being urged in some quarters that
such step would introduce sectarianism which
would prove inimical to the interests Of the SER
vice and would tend establish racial differences
This view OF the matter was largely discussed
among National Guard officers yesterday. Cen
eral McCoskry Butt. commanding the First Brig
ade said:
The introduction OF religious element into the
Guard is 10 be carefully considered. 1t Is more
difficult to handle than the mere question OF race
I can see no special reason why those OF any par
ticular faith should need the Endorsement OF Ma
tional Guard service 10 establish their military
reputation. Men not good or bad soldiers be-
cause of this or that tenet they may believe. II
depends upon their individual temperament, not
upon their religious belief. The excellent record
made by Jewish soldiers in our wars and In the
National Guard in time OF peace ought 70 be suf-
hcient TO show that any suggestion now that they
need special vindicaton is reflection upon their
past achievements. But beyond all this, the enlist
ment in the Guard must be placed on broader
grounds II must be open 10 all. irrespective OF dif-
ferences in religion.
Another officer high in the Guard. who did not
wish his name to be used, said
The limit OF strength now allowed by law is so
nearly reached by the regiments as they now exist
that If they fully recruited the limit would be
touched Therefore, throw into the Guard
other regiment would be to overstep the legal
limit, and that is not TO be thought Of.
