| waited a day and half for a
word with this merchant prince,
whose abilities and experience have
been placed so generously at the dis
posal of the government of his adopt
ed country. This was not because
Rosenwald is in any way undemo-
cratic or holds himself aloof, pick
ing his favorites. The explanation is
to be found solely in the fact that
there is no man in Washington these
days buster than he.
When | was ushered into Rosen-
wald's office | saw before me a typi-
cal Jewish business man short of
stature, compactly built, with kindly
eyes. A smile played about his lips
beneath a short-cropped, dark mus
tache.
His demeanor said to me: "What
do you want to tell me and what can
[ do for you? Hurry, for the day is
short and there is much to be DONE"
SO, without losing a moment, I
fired my first question at him:
"Has the fact that you are a Jew
anything to do with your appoint
ment to this most important office? ?"
mo. The fact that I am a Jew,
which is known to all, l am certain
has had nothing to do with my ap-
polntment. | am certain that I and
others were chosen because it was
believed we would best fit into our
POSITIONS Neither creed nor party
has had anything to do with it, nor
should it have in this crisis. There
should be no distinctions made, partic-
ularly at this time, between Jews and
Christians AS far as the government
is concerned they are the same, and
the same devotion and loyalty is ex-.
pected from them"
Regarding Gompers and Baruch,
Rosenwald expressed himself sim
ilarly, declaring that the fact that
they and he were Jews was only IAN
incident, and had no especial signih
canoe.
I queried, "Have you message
for the Jews of America ?"
He replied: "In my present posi-
ton I serve as an American and
son of my adopted country, and I
have, therefore, no special message

JAN INTERVIEW WITH JULIUS ROSENWALD

Washington, D. C-The work of
organizing the resources of the nation
for the purposes of war seems to have
been turned over to three Jews
Rosenwald, Baruch and Gompers. 1t
is difficult for the average reader to
appreciate the magnitude and pro-
found importance Of the tasks which
devolve on these three as members of
the Council of National Defense.
In comparison with the labors
which confront these three, the work
of organizing the actual military and
naval forces of the government SO
that they might be said to be on a
war footing are slight, gigantic as it
might ordinarily appear. For Rosen-
valid, Baruch and Gompers must cor
raj and organize all the resources of
capital, agriculture and labor in the
nation upon the basis of which an eff
cient military machine is to be con-
structed and without which it is i'm
possible And to aid and guide them
in this tremendous undertaking, these
three Jews have no definite legislation
or established precedents to bark back
to and rely upon. 1t is up to them to
personally create such an organization
as not only the United States, but the
world, has never known.
Thus far their success has been so
marked that it has been suggested by
representative men in the countries of
Our two principal allies, France and
England, that it is not too late to es-
tablish in these nations similar coun-
ellis. And in some quarters it has been
contended that the work of organic
ing the entire economic resources of
all our allies should be turned over to
our own Council of National Defense.
Were this to be done, we would have
this situation-the resources of al
most the whole world dominated by
three men, and these three Jews.
But while Baruch, Gompers and
Rosenwald are Jews, it must be con-
coded that Rosenwald alone is what
some might describe as "a good Jew"
1t will be recalled that Rosenwald re-
Gently gave one million dollars for
Jewish war relief, outside of his con-
tributions on several other occasions

Gibbons never was given a bad beating

into private life. He carried no mashed
features with him.
Had Wolgast stopped his ring career
after one or two attempts to regain
the championship he lost TO Willie Rit-
chic il is probable he never would have
been examined and sent TO a sanitarium.
1t Is a lesson. hard-earned maybe. but
one that should sink deep into every

threw caution to the winds and dashed

athlete. He has even been adjudged in
competent to look after his own affairs
and his wife has been given charge of
his property.
Underlying this statement from Wis
consin there is a lesson for any bud
ding fighter. and one which many now
appearing in rings would do well to
take to heart
It is impossible for a man to take the
terrible beatings around his head and
continue just the same as he always
did. He can't stand the terrific body
lacings that are handed out to the man
who disdains 10 protect himself in the
hope OF landing while the other man is

bruised cheeks and many other marks
are carried by these men TO their graves.
A glance at Woigast's head is enough
to show what he has gone through
Battling Nelson is another example Of
the courag eous fighter who puts every
thing out of his mind but victory. He
could take an awful beating and he
often did it. just in the hope that even
tuaiiy the time would come for him TO
land one OF the crushing blows that
wore his opponent down.
The battle between Nelson and VOL

ship was one of these savage affairs,
where both boxers. bruised and bleed
ing and barely able to stand, were both

Nelson lives today an example Of
what can be done with pair of hands
beating on a mans head. His ears are
mashed his nose askew and he bears
many other battle marks.
The bout between Battling Nelson and
Joe Cans, when the black lightweight
relinquished the title of lightweight
champion is believed by many TO have
sent Cans to his grave. He was forced
to make a killing weight when he met
Nelson and the beating Nelson gave
him put him on his back. He waned

Leonard Will Enlist
as Volunteer Aviator

MILWAUKEE,, WIS, April Ill
Benny Leonard will not fight again
for two months, at least. His enlist
mert in the aviation service of Uncle
Sam, he announced yesterday, takes
effect as soon as he can get back TO
New York and he will prepare at
once for a career as a volunteer
aviator. If after two months of
work as an aviator he can find time
to get on duty and induce Freddie
Welsh to met him ne will do so. Tt
developed yesterday that the putting
up of prices for Thursday nights
battle was a fatal error by the pro-
motors, for, instead of a cleanup
and a $4,000 house, the promoters
only found receipts of $500. All
that saved them Is the state COM
mission ruling forcing the fighters
to box on percentage only.

THE LONG ARM OF EFFICIENCY
item FROM CINCINNATI
Newly introduced B'Ham Product
Meets Great Favor There.

Slowly but surely, knowledge Of
the remarkable medicinal properties
of Sulferro-Sol is spreading farther
and farther from home.
Sulferro-Sol was recently intro
duced in Cincinnati and letters are
already coming in telling of the great
blessing that this remedy is bringing
to sufferers in that City.
Mr.. B. j. Cchultc of 1859 Pleasant
St., Cincinnati, we'll known Con-
ductor writes in enthusiastic praise
of Sulferro-Sol.
"For some reason the regular Doc
tors here failed to find something to
benefit my badly disordcrcd blood.

fcrro-Sol and got bottle to try it
and it has proven to be the most eff
cacious blood remedy l have ever
taken"
81 have taken two bottles and feel
that am practically we'll and l know
am in the best health I have been
in for years"
Note-Since it became known to
the public that Sulferro-Sol, the nat
ural mineral solution could be abso-
lutcly depended on to cure many pre-
vailing diseases, there have been pu
on the market several products pur-
porting to be similar to Sulferro- Sol
and equaling it in medical properties
There has not yet been discovered
