HAVE G. A, r. DIE
WITH LAST VETERAN
Colonel Palmer Opposed Admission Of
Sons Of Veterans Into Ranks,
in His Annual Message.

Colonel D. j. Palmer zcommande in
chief of the G.. A. R., in his annual
report to be read at the National en-
campment at Washington, D. c., Sept.
~ to Oct. 2, will not recommend that
sons Of veterans be admitted to men,
bership in the grand army, as request
ed by the departments. of Oklahoma
ana Montana. He takes the position
tfat the G. A. r. should die with the
passing Of the last civil war veteran.
The matter has been up at pre-
vious encampments and has been re-
5ected," said Colonel Palmer. I think
the vast majority Of civil war veterans
prefer the G. A. r. go out of existence
when the last veteran Of that war
dies.
Colonel Palmer will not make any
important recommendations at the
encampment, he says.
Speaking of the European war stu

Captain Wastrous Of Des Moines
credit for predicting the war which
now involves the main countries OF
Europe.

Watrous made an address before the
Loyal Legion in Des Moines. in which
ne stated Germany was preparing for
war and would soon strike" said
colonel Palmer. He had Just visited
Germany and he told us about the
military activities and the storing
away of vast quantities of munitions.

world peace and though that soon

The Jews are not an agricultural
people, a fact which explains why in
this country most of them have found
their homes in the great cities. Out
side Of New York, of course, Phila-

population Of Philadelphia is esti-
mated at about 10000, or little less

Atlanta, Ga, thrown into a state of
turmoil over the trial and conviction
for murder Of Leo Frank, has a Jew
ish population Of only 4,200 out Of a
total population of 154,S39. This case
attracted nation wide notoriety, and
the charge was freely made that
much of the agitation against either
the retrial OF frank or the commute
ton of his sentence from death to
life imprisonment was of an anti-Se-
metic origin. Yet the proportion Of
Jews in Atlanta is extremely small.
The number of Jews in the small
towns Of the United States is almost
negligible. An estimate made by the
industrial removal office shows that
fifty of the principal cities Of the
United States, not counting New
York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Bos-
ton. contained only 2S7,100 Jews.

The Greatest Jewish CITY
Edward Bushnell, in the Philadelphia public Ledger

Where and what is the most Jew
ish city in the United States? Chel
sea, Mass. was stamped with that dis
tinction at the recent session Of the
convention of the Federation OF
American Zionists. Twenty-Five pei
cent Of its population Of 10000 are
Jews.
Numerically, New York has the
greatest Jewish population either IN
the United States or the world, but
the proportion of Jews there is slight.
ly below that OF Chelsea Nearly hall
the Jews in America. and one-twelfth
of all the world contains, live within
the confines of Greater New York
Nevertheless, their proportion is only
sixteen per cent.
The extent to which the Jewish
people maintain their racial integrity
though scattered to the four corners
Of the earth. still remains the most
astounding thing in the history of ma.
ton building. From the time Of their
bondage in Egypt, and their flight
through the wilderness into the prom.
ised land, and their Wonderful expan.
sion during the reigns of David and
Solomon, followed by their subjuga-
ton at the hands OF the Greeks and
Romans, this integrity never suffered.
And even during the last 1000 years,
as they have gone with civilization
into every quarter of the globe, they
have always been a distinct people.
The study of their world wide dis
tribution forms subject of gripping
interest. Roughly speaking. there are
about 100000 Jews today. Every
country has ita nnOfa
Only 5000 In Palestine.
Palestine, the original home of the
Jews, mum erically does not contain as
many Jews, but in proportion to the
entire population of that country, it
leads the world. The latest statistics
give Palestine Jewish population of
$4,000 out of total population of
$4,000. This gives the Jewish race
In Palestine percentage of 22.29 of
the entire population though its total
Of $4,000 is hardly half the entire
Jewish population of Philadelphia. In
certain parts Of Africa and Asia, the
Jewish population, although numeri-
cally small, is proportionately high.
Tunis in Africa, ranks next to Pal
estine with Jewish population Of
10000 out of total of 1,9e3,217, or
5.62 per cent.
Europe, OF course, contains the
great bulk OF the worlds Jewish popu-
lation, there being approximately TO-
