DECREE OF TALMUpic LAW.
Wives Of Jewish Soldiers All Given
Conditional Divorce.

Wives Of Jewish Soldiers All Given
Conditional Divorce.
According to the. Jewish World, a
very touching editorial appeared in a
recent issue Of the Hebrew Daily
Hazefirah Of Warsaw, Poland, where
the editor, Mr.. Sorolow, calls atten-
ton to the Talmudic law which re-
quires every married man before go
ing on the battlefield to grant a con-
ditional divorce to his wife, that she
within a reasonable time after the
end of the war.
The rabbis of LODI have caused all
the Jewish soldiers that left that city
for the seat of war to grant such di-
vOrces, and Editor Sorolow suggests
that the example of Lodz should be
copied all over Russia.
Every married soldier, volunteer or
reserve, registers with a rabbi his
name, address. age, height, birth
marks, name Of company and regi.
ment he joins, and the rabbi keeps a
record of same until the soldier re-
turns from the war.
If a reasonable time after the close
Of the war elapses and the soldier
does not return, he is counted among
the lost and unidentified dead, and his
wife obtains the divorce from that
rabbi granting her the right to re-
marry.

Radium to illuminate Gun Siqhts


The discovery of the latest use to
which radium can be put-the illumi-
nation OF gun sights, and the like at
night time-seems to indicate that it
will play an important part in war
fare.
In gun sights, leveling instruments
and telescopes there is what is called
a "f1ducial" mark, which is used to
obtain a faithful result.
These marks of course are useless
In the dark, and, though many ways
of Illuminating them have been tried,
nothing has proved satisfactory.
