JEWISH BRIGADE
BEING ORGANIZED
FOR TRENCH WAR
Jews Showed Great Valor in
Gallipoli Cam
paign

An entire brigade of Jewish SOL
diers may shortly be sent by Eng
land to participate in the fighting in
Palestine. under command of Colonel
Patterson of the famous Zion Mule
Corps composed of Jewish refugees
from Palestine, which won distinction
for valor in the Inflated campaign at
Gallipoh. This information is con-
tanned in a special cable from London
to the Jewish Morning Journal of
New York City, which reads as fol-
lows:
1.-The organization of the Jewish
regiment which is being organized by
the British army, and which will
bear as its distinguishing mark the
six-cornered star of Judaea on a back
ground of blue and white, is proving
a great success. This regiment is be-
ing organized by Colonel Patterson
who was the commander of. the ia
NOUS Zion Mule Corps which he or
ganized in Egypt, and which partici-
pated so calorously in the Dardan-
Giles campaign Large numbers of
Jewish officers and soldiers in the
British army have asked for trans
fers to this regiment and hosts OF
volunteers are swarming to the re-
cruiting office.
I s'The number of volunteers indi-
Gates that it may be possible to re-
cruit a brigade and even complete
division. Although no official state
ment has yet been made by the Bri-
+ fish government as to its intentions
with regard to this new military de-
velopment, the prevailing opinion Is
that it will be sent to the Palestine
front.
1.-The Jewish shoulders will be ac-
companied by a complete corps Of
Jewish nurses, and provisions are be.
ing made by the British army office
to make it possible for the Jewish
regiment or brigade to observe the
Mosaic dietary laws" "

HOW GASOLINE
SHORTAGE MAY
BE OVERCOME

New York, August 17.-In the Au-
gust issue of the e. H. Clarke Month
ly Investment Review, Mr.. Jefferson
d. Stafford, president of the Barnett
Oil & Gas Company offers a new So
luton for the prevailing shortage in
gasoline. Mr.. Stafford, after thirty
five years practical experience in the
oil business-the greater part of
which has been devoted to- the refin-
ing end-says that the real sutton
of the problem can be found il re-
finers extract an additional percen-
tage of gasoline from the crude oil.
Such step would, of course, re-
duce the specific gravity of gasoline,
but he claims that a reduction of say
only 2 degrees from the standard now
used would lower the quality to such
a small extent that the difference
would scarcely be noticed by consul
mers.
by reducing the gravity from Sc
degrees-the measure of standard
now supplied-to 81 degrees, the ac-
tual output can be increased by
about 100000 barrels" he declares.
Moreover, such gasoline being heav-
Ter than that now in use. would pro-
duce about 5000 more heat units per
gallon, which would effect an addi-
tional saving of $4,000 barrels. This,
added to the increase obtained
through the reduction of the gravity,
would give approximately 1,250, 200
barrels additional supply.
THE total amount of gasoline then
available would be sufficient to NEE,
the demand during the year 1917. Ar
annual amount of approximately 55,-
100000, barrels is consumed in the
United States by the 100000 auto.
mobiles in use.
THE lowering Of the gravity OF
gasoline to "a degrees. will not make
the lend" point too high to properly
vaporize in any gasoline engine, and
the efficiency of a gasoline of this
quality, being straight refinery run
will be greater, costing less per mne
than higher gravity, and solve the
problem at least temporarily.
Another important item in con.
nection with the distribution of the
gasoline is the. car supply, the move.
| ment of tank cars being SO wretchedly
bad that refiners are unable to shir
gasline as fast as they make 1t, which
assists in curtailing the supply a.
many points. 1t Is essential that thu
government insist upon the railroads
moving tank cars promptly"

LICENSES FOR RELIEF ENTERPRISES
As a result of the exposure by the New
York World of the fraud perpetrated by
the persons conducting the Army and Navy
League bazaar held in New York recently,
which Melted the league n little over 500,
although the receipts amounted to nearly
$4,000, there is a clamor in New York for
n law that persons or societies conducting
such relief enterprises be required to OBJ
tain a license before they can operate
them. The idea is a sane one. The wonder
is that there has not been some organized
effort long ago to regulate the operation of
enterprises seeking public aid in the name
Of charity. The Herald hsA previously
urged that cities should require solicitors
for subscriptions for alleged benevolent
projects be required to obtain a license,
The ease with which the generous people
of New York City were cheated out of over
$4,000, while the good name of one of the
most worthy institutions in the entire
country was used for this nefarious pur-
pose, proves that charity itself should be
protected by stringent laws. To exploit
charity for the purpose of robbing the pub
lie Is a contemplate crime in itself. The
harm such n crime causes by d~iscouragine
those who are kindhearted and inclined Ia
give to charity is far greater than the mere
loss Of the amount thus stolen. For people
once cheated in this manner naturally will
become wary of such projects in future,
and possibly really meritorious objects de-
pendent upon charity for support will suf-
fer ~grievously thereby.
