JEWS MAKE UP L
PERCENT OF ARMY,
ISSPEAKER'SC CLAIM

The American Jew today is giving
4 splendid account OF himself In the
war. Official statistics Of the War
Department and figures from relief
and welfare workers bear out the
statement.
Speaking before a large gathering
OF soldiers, sailors and the congregs-
ton of the Adath Israel Temple, Sixth
and streets northwest, yesterday, H.
B. Hartogensis OF Baltimore, Landed
the patriotism OF the American Jew,
and read statistics substantiating his
claim that the Jew is giving good
account OF himself IN the war against
sutocracy.
Regular army figures published in
January, 1915, showed an enrolment
Of GAIA men, Including ST4 Jews;
also that in the navy there were 644
Jews, making a ratio OF per cent
and over" said Mr.. Hartogensis.
"A conservative estimate OF the men
now in service between 100000 and
1.000, 900, is that 10 or u per cent are
Jews. Welfare and relief workers
with ample opportunity for obserya-
ton have given me these figures.
sDr. Norris Spear, q tireless worker
at Camp Meade, reports 5000 Jews
in body or 5000 men. Il have
learned that there are today In France
10000 American Jewish soldiers.
SOther patriots are men Of the
julius Rosenwald type, who give their
high priced services as. purchasing
agents EtAtis, while Jacob Schii and
others have declared II sinful and un-
patriotic to make q single cent of
profit during the war" he concluded.

HOPES OF JEWS FOR HOME
TN PALESTINE NOW NEAR

The real hope and prospective real

its place among the songs Of nationA."
DR.. Gressman appealed to the Jews
In Washington 70 see that their children
received the proper Hebrew religious
training. declaring that today this i'm
portant item In the national Hebrew life
of the children was being neglected.
