Jewish Recruits Barred.

y
The New York Kehillah has tax
en- action, through Maurice Simmons
Chairman of the Committee for the
Protection of the Good Name of I'm
migrant Peoples, to combat what is
believed to be discrimination against
Jews in the National Guard.
Formal charges against Captain
II. E. Sullivan, commander of Bat
terry D, Second Field Artillery, have
been presented to Governor Whit
man by Mr.. Simmons, who was the
former national COMMUNICATIVE chief
of the United Spanish War Veterans.
The charges allege that Captain Sui
livan, at time when the battery
was advertising for recruits, per-
sonally met those of Jewish faith
and told them there were no vacan-
cies.
This charge is based upon an aft
davit made by Max J. Klein, TWEEN
ty-siX years old, in which the de-
ponent asserts that both he and his
brother were told by Captain Sulli-
van that there were no vacancies;
that he afterward investigated and
found that discrimination was prac-
ticed not alone against him and his
brother, but against other Jews
wanting to enlist
No officer of the United States
Army erects any such barrier as
that thrust in the way Of Jews en-
listing, Mr. Simmons says, and he
declares that Captain Sullivan is not
the sole offender in this regard that
his conduct is merely synptomatic
of the disease of anti-Semitism with
which large portion of the tissue of
the National Guard in this city is
infected. Many similar cases have
come to his notice, he says, and he
has both verbal and documentary
evidence to support his charge.
Governor Whitman has transmit
ted the charges to adjutant General
Stotesbury with instruction to make
an immediate inquiry.

LEARN TO SAVE
By Frederic ]. Haskin
Continued from Editorial Pagc.l


what conservation does to the nation.
The basis of this whole movement
to save money is the growth of the
savings banks. These afford the man
with a small income an opportunity
to put aside just as much as he can
spare, however small the amount may
be. The multiplication of these banks
has been especially rapid within the
last ten years, and there are now more
savings depositors and a greater num-
Der of savings banks in the United
States than any other country in the
world. This, of course, is due prin-
c1pally to the tremendous size of the
United States. In the amount of saw
ings per capita, France, Norway, Ger
many and Switzerland are ahead of
the United States.
OF the 2,100 savings banks in the
country, 634 are mutual institutions,
having no stock; and these banks
alone have over eight million deposit
tors, so that they do four fifths of the
total savings bank business of the
United States.
it is interesting to note the distribu-
tion of these banks. New England
the oldest part of the country, where
Keen competition has been longest
felt, contains 412 of these mutual
banks. In New York, New Jersey,
pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland
there are 1919 banks. Going a little
farther west we find that Ohio, In
diana, Wisconsin and Minnesota have
only 21 mutual savings banks between
them, while there is only one in Cali
fornia. over half of all the savings
bank depositors in the United States
live in New England. So the move
ment is one that spreads slowly west
ward.
In 1907, the Massachusetts State
legislature passed an act permitting
savings banks to establish life insur-
ance departments. This legislation
was passed on the strength of an in
yestigation which showed that certain
large insurance companies were do
ing business at a cost of 40 per cent
of their premiums. The savings banks
demonstrated that this business could
be done at a lower rate. The act pro-
vides that all net profits of the insur-
ance business must revert to the policy
holders. There are now four savings
banks in Massachusetts doing a life
insurance business, while twenty other
savings banks and six trust companies
have established public agencies for
these four insuring banks. All four
banks are paying dividends to their
policy holders. The limit of insur-
ance for these banks has been raised
this year from $500 to $1,000, so that
by taking out policy in each bank, a
man may have $4,000 worth of savings
bank insurance.
These savings banks have not only
afforded the people of Massachusetts
a less expensive sort of life insur-
ance, but they have caused the regu-
lar insurance companies to reduce
their premiums. They have nearly
ten thousand policy holders, and it is
estimated that they have saved the
people at least twenty million dol
lars.

OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
THEIR MARRIED LIFE"
Copyright by international News Service

"Oh, Warren, before you co." called
Helen, tell me where the Lehigh VAL
ley Railroad station is"
AT the Erie depot. I'll meet you
there are eleven-thirty sht.rp. And
Warren went out and closed the
door with a bang.
Helen proceeded leisurely with
her dressing. They were to see
Grace Meadows off for Vancouver
that morning-she and Warren and
the Bells and Jack Parmelee and
Anne. Helen had a little package
for Grace - something to slip into
her hand at the last moment. 1t
about it, that the friends she had
made this year were of the quality
that would last forever. She liked
Grace Meadows very much. or
course, the fact that she was a
friend of the Bells made this more
evident, but Grace was the type of
woman that every one would be
sure to like Immediately. She was
short and sweet and generally low
able.
Helen did not hurry at all, and
when she reached Courtlandt street
she took the tube for Jersey City.
1t was not until she had stepped up
TO ask the guard just where to go
at the Erie station that she found
she was all wrong.
The Erie don't connect with the
Lehigh any more" he bawled above
the rattle of the train.
1T doesn't?" said Helen in dismay.
No, ma'am; You'll have to go
back to New York and take the Lib
erty street ferry across"
Ten Minutes!
Helen sat down almost in a tenn
per. Why couldn't Warren have
been sure when he told her? She
looked at her watch anXiously.
Could she make it? 1t was 11:2O
now.
At the Terminal Building there
were still two blocks to walk and
she reached the ferry out of breath
and angry through and through
A boat was Just going out and she
hurried on board, buying a paper
as she passed the news stand. Not
that she was calm enough to read,
although she did try to collect, her
scattered thoughts and be calm.
She still had time to see Grace
off, even if she were late meeting
Warren. The boat reached the Jer-
sey side and docked. Helen hurried
off with the crowd and into the
waiting room. Warren was not
there. neither were the Bells. She
hurried up to the information win
dow and asked when the Vancouver
express left.
Twelve thirteen" she was in
formed.
Well. she had over half an hour
to wait, after all Just as she was
about TO sit down, Warren appeared
in the doorway, beckoned to her
and looked sheepish. Helen smiled
and almost forgot her grievance
against him, but her anger welled
up again as he came over.
Il suppose you know all about
the trouble I've had?" she began.
Gee, I'm sorry! didn't know my
self where the place was till
reached the office and thought I'd
better look ii up. l phoned you
right away, but Mary said you had
left"
His Rejoinder
You might have been sure about
1t before telling me-"
well, at that, you have more
time to look up railroad stations
than / have"
Helen could see that if they pur-
sued those tactics her side would
certainly suffer, so she instantly
was silent.
Lets sit down." said Warren, in
