The Task In Palestine.

The plan Of the British to recruit
regiment Of Jews 10 that section
OF Palestine which England has in-
yaded seems not TO be meeting
with marked success. The Jewish
women Of the country are said to
be giving the movement their sup
port, and the British enlisting ofiic-
ers announce that the ranks are be-
ing gradually filled. but there is q
notable absence of enthusiasm both
in the British official statements
and ip the reports from the country
itself
While there is every reason from
the standpoint Of history and senti-
ment why the inhabitants Of Pales
tine should rise against the Turk
and join the invader. it is easy to
understand why there actually has

LONDON, March 29.-Americans
now fighting the Germans under the
British or the French flag would
rather be doing it under the Stars and
Stripes.
At least that is the case Of a large
percentage OF them, judging from the
number that have so expressed them
selves at the American Embassy here.
Never a day passes now but one
or several Americans in British khaki
appears to ask how he can transfer
his services direct to the United
States army in case the United States
goes TO war. Thus far they have
not received a great deal of comfort.
They face the fact that they have lost
their American citizenship.
To become a member of the British
army an American is required 10
syear allegiance to the king and fore
swear allegiance TO the king and fore
tries.
Legally, such Americans cannot be
come American citizens again withou
the process of naturalization, but som
have nevertheless devised ways of evad
ing this. 1t is believed not treason t
