incidentally, it is not amiss to state
that the Russo-Japanese war will be
quite an exception to almost all pre-
ceding wars, inasmuch as the law of
Japan does not permit foreigners to
take up arms In her defense; hence
the absence of Hebrews from the ser
vice. The Russian Hebrew, who was
sacrificing himself for the honor of
his country, did not run the risk of
shedding the blod Of his fellow.
The American Hebrew is as true a
patriot and as fine soldier as any.

When the day of trial came and the
colonies we're struggling for independ-

the side of the insurgents. The non

brew signatures. They were found in
the roster of the Charleston regiment
OF militia, and three served on the
staff of Baron De Kalb. T1aym Sol

gress with the sinews of war. Forty
four Hebrews are recorded in the war
of 1912, fifty-eight in the Mexican war,
and in the great conflict of the rebel
lion, lasting four years, "in which one
fifth of the men engaged gave their
lives for their country, the Hebrew
population" said General Miles, "furn.

SPURIOUS MONEY

With Counterfeit Notes Two Con-

Journal Special Service. a$ 5si{
New Y ork, Dec. 20.-By the arrest
of two men in this city, United States
secret service agents have nipped in
the bud they say, scheme to buy
nearly all the cattle in Colombia with
l0,0O0,O00 in counterfeit money and
ship them ITO this country and Europe.
The plot if successful would have
broken the price Of beef and hides and
dealt a severe blow to the beef and
leather trust.
The men arrested were Simon Boehm,
who came from South America some
time ago and has been living in Har-
lem and Samuel Otero, young Cuban
They were held in $4,000 bonds on the
charge of attempting to counterfeit
South American money and were
locked up in the Tombs. They denied
guilt. t@=
According to Captain w. J. Flynn of
the secret service, he saw last Septem-
Der in an evening newspaper an adver-
tisement saying:
Wanted-First-class steel engrav-
ers for Colombia; highest wages paid.
Must be first Glass;
One of Captain Flynn g men
answered the advertisement, represent
ing himself as an expert engraver.
1t is alleged Boehm proposed to the
detectives to make plates which could
| be taken to Colombia, where 100000
| Colombian notes, an equivalent of 800
each, would be printed and used to buy
cattle in Colombia for sale in Europe
and America. ~ 4. ~.

Chicago, Dec. 20.-Was Nicolai de
Raglan, confidential secretary at the
Russian consulate, who died of tuber-
culosis at Phoenix, Ariz., a man, las
friends and intimate relatives claim, or
a woman, as the coroner and undertaken
at Phoenix declare after an examiha-
tion of the body? g. -.
Many circumstances tending to show
that De Raglan was a man have been
brought forward BY his friends. 1T
was alleged that he was in the habit
of going in swimming with other men,
that he exercised with men in various
gymnasiums Of the city; that he had
the reputation Of being more or less
of a masher; that he was popular with
chorus girls, and that divorce had
been granted to his first American
wife on the ground Of infdelity. =
Couldn't Grow Beard.
On the other hand, the personality
of De Raglan, the peculiar tone of his
voice, the fact that he was unable to
grow. beard, the many faminine traits
which he exhibited in his conduct of
the secretaryship, the absence of chill
dren, altho he was alleged to have been
married three times, twice to women
who had children by other husbands,
his peculiar methods Of combat, which
consisted in scratching the faces of his
opponents and the testimony of bar
him, point strongly to the correctness
of the statements of the coroner and
undertaken. III. ~
That De Raglan was almost insanely
anxious to grow a mustache is the tes-
timony Of his barber, Paeolo Rinaldi.
According to Rinaldi, De Raglan pur-
chased from. him no less than two dozen
to grow beard. At no time was there
the faintest sign of hair upon his face.
Fought Like Woman.
According to S. D. Lembrakis, cab
driver who acted as iehu for De Raylan
on numerous occasions, he frequently
iimpersonated women and went driving
in female attire.
On other occasions Lembrakis states
he drove De Raglan and woman com
panion to and from different theaters
and that frequently the two would
fight in the cab. On these occasions
the cab driver says that it was De
Raylan's favorite diversion to scratch
the face of his companion. He never
resorted to blows.
De Raglan s associates at the con-
sulate all agreed that his voice and
manner was more feminine than mas
cullne: He also possessed many
feminine mannerisms. 1T was alleged
that he habitually. wore a corset and
that he resented bitterly any gibes
from his companions on this account. n

De Raylan's habits, however, were

Wine suppers and aredlight' tours
were part Of his regular routine. M
All intimates of the dead secretary
agree that he smoked and drank to
excess: He was never without cigaret
and was able to drink some of his
stoutest companions e under the table. Z,
De Raglan s antecedents are sl1roud-
