AMERICANS At FRONT
WITH ARMY OF ALLIES
Number Approximately SO, 900, Most
of Them With the British
Forces.

From STAFF Correspondent of the Associated
Press.
WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, February /. via London, Feb
ruary 2. 1920 a. m.-Nearly $4,000 Amer
leans are estimated to be fighting for
the allies and inquiry shows that
nearly four -tifths of these are in the
khaki-c clad British army commanded by
Field Marshal Haig.
1t is computed that the actual fight
ing force of Americans now in France
under the union jack is probably larger
than the United States army which was
actually engaged in hostilities in the
brief campaign of the Spanish Amer
lean war. Hundreds of Americans have
given their lives for the cause of the
allies and hundreds of others bear per-
manent scars of the shock of battle,
but each new battalion and each group
of achievements arriving from overseas
brings number of their fellow country
men to take their places. All have
fought with pluck and determination
which have won them universal re-
spect and admiration. although not SO
much has been written about the
Americans serving in the British ranks
as in regard to their brothers in the
French army

SAYS ALLIES RESOURCES
ASSURE VICTORY IN WAR
Premier Asquith Says Balance of
Success Shifts to Entente
More and More.

| BY the Associated Press
| LONDON. February I'm speech
at Ladybank to his constituents former
Premier Asauith said that the naval.
military and economic resources of the
entente allies assured them inevitable
! victory
| "A notion that the struggle is about
to come to a squa1id end-to result in a
stalemate-is mere dream" he said.
The fortunes of battle may f1uctuate
and shift. but if all the influences at
work are taken into comprehensive ac-
count every month of the conflict be-
comes more unequal and the balance
of success more and more in favor of
| the allies
Referring TO President Wilson's
| phrase. Peace without victory" Mr..
| ASquith said:
! The President disclaims the function
of mediator: therefore I will not dwell
upon the possible Interpretation or per
| haps misinterpretation, of; this now
| famous phrase. But the very use of
| such a phrase in such quarter by
such an authority showed the necessity
| that we make clear to the neutral
world that we cannot be content with
anything less than victorious peace.
| We ought not to be content unless the
allies obtain solid safeguards against
| the breaking of peace afresh. That is
what we mean by victorious peace.
We never had the faintest desire for
the annihiliation of the German people
or the German states.
! Refers to U-Boat Campaign.
| Referring to the new German sub
marine campaign. Mr.. Asquith said:
| 1T is impossible to dispute the grav-
| ity of the situation, but the navy has
been supplemented by other measures
| such as the arming of merchantmen,
acce1eration of new tonnage and al
location of tonnage resources of the
allies. These are being used with the
special object of countering the Ger
man campaign
| Mr.. ASquith said he would not waste
breath upon the "so-called overture for
peace. which, he declared, were put
out by the enemy with transparent in
sincerity, but the country was bound to
give respectful attention to the recent
speech of President Wilson. which con-
stituted declaration of the American
policy or, more precisely, of American
ideals. Mr.. Wilson's ideal for a world
league of peace is a fine one. which
must arouse all our sympathies.'

Fight With Steady Bravery.

Through all the vast and wonderful
war machine built up by Great Britain
from the North sea to the frorit-line
trenches young Americans can be met
doing their bit" and fighting with
willing heart and steady bravery The
correspondent of the Associated Press
met one young fellow in the uniform of
the Canadian artillery. What part of
Canada are you from" he was asked

reply. Corresponding answers could be
had from thousands who hailed from

Army Traditions Forbid.

British army traditions seldom
countenance the same enthusiastic OK
positions of individual deeds of hero
ism and daring as are included often
in the French and German official re-
ports. But the American Tommies have
helped to write some bright pages in
the history of the war in all branches
of the servlce-the Flying Corps, the
Medical Corps, the artillery and infan-
try.
The Canadian regiments naturally
attracted the greatest number of Amer
leans. many of the recruits living in
the Dominion when the war broke out.
But Americans are also scattered
through the distinctly English bat
talions. and some are found among the
Australians, South Africans and in the
different staff departments. Many for
mer members of the United States
Army and crack National Guard regi-
ments answer to the British roll calls,
but all have had to learn the new art
of modern war and will be graduated
as among the best trained soldiers in
the world. The bulk of the Americans
being absorbed in the various Canadian
battalions have been through some of
the hardest fighting on this front.

NATIONALIST AND PLAIN
JEWISHNESS.

If Nahum Sokolow really denounc-
ed, as he is quoted in The American
Israelite, "as national meshummodim
those who do not believe that Zionism
is a panacea for all the ills that at
f1ict Jewry" he simply showed himself
the same kind of fool that many
another widely heralded nationalist
propaganda is, who can see no merit
in any other kind of Jewislness, and
sneers at every kind, except natioaal-
ism. 1t is this kind of rabid national
ism that disgusts every earnest mind

enough workers, propagandists and
field. When weorganizers in the
consider how every cause that is dear
to our Christian neighbors is pro-
NOTED by large numbers of paid work
ers who devote all their time and en-
ergy to its interests, paid propagan-
dists, organizers and field secretaries,
we can readily see how Zionism must
suffer because of our neglect of this
method. If the Knights of Zion,
which comprises twelve Middle-West-
ern states would have half a dozen
paid field secretaries in its territory
and the Federation of American
Zionists about twenty-five or thirty
more to cover the remaining sections
of the United States, the movement
would grow by leaps and bounds.
There are plenty of men in the Zion
ist ranks well qualified for such work.
In the meantime let us record one
excellent move made by the conven-
ton in the Twin Cities, namely, the
change of the organizations name,
from knights" of Zion, name that
has always been Objectionable to us
for several reasons, to the "'Federated
Zionists of the Middle Western
States" With this change of name
let us hope there will now come re-
newed and increased prosperity and
progress for the organization.
AS far as our local Zionists are
concerned, let us once more remind
them that the progress of Zionism in
the Twin Cities, like the progt ess of
every society and institution, de-
ponds upon the undivided attention
and unHagging interest and zeal of
the officers in charge of the work.
When the Zionists will succeed in
electing as officers of their societies
men and women who will devote all
the energy and time they can spare
from their regular bread-winning
pursuits to the cause of Zionism, leav-
ing other communal interests to other
workers, the societies will become in
fused with new life, and will advance
from strength to strength. 1t would
be a pity if the enthusiasm for Zion
ism aroused in our midst by the con-
vention should be allowed to evapo-
rate without having accomplished per-
manent good results.
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1917-01-05

for the special number.
prating, Zionist We Jews are still
idol worshippers. We make idols of
men, and modern Jewish nationalism
has produced more idols than any
other movement. Anybody of any
distinction and with glib tongue and
some cute affectation, is Immediately
heralded as sage and prophet, YER
liable oracle. 1t would almost seem
to be an indication of our intellectual
poverty, and since Our sages and ora
cles must always be paraded before
the public, and must always be talk
ing to knowledge-th gatherings,
floods of nonsense are poured forth
that rival a Mississippi inundation.
Hence some of the queer, freakish
statements of some of our nationalist
orators; hence their exaggerations,
distortions, and contortions, their mis-
statements and .perversions.
No other kind of Jews exists any
more except the nationalist. No other
sentiment, loyalty, ideal, are worth
while except nationalism. The relig-
ious sentiment is pooh-poohed. Or
thodoxy is sneered at; reform is
sneered at. Hearing them talk one
would infer that Zionisrn was utterly
incompatible with Judaism, orthodox
or reform. Among the pioneers in
Zionism we have had such men as
Rabbis Reines and Samuel Mohiliwer,
pillars of Russian orthodoxy, and
Rabbis Felsenthal and Gottheil, lead
ers in the Reform synagog, all scholar
ly men, and clear thinkers. They did
not find their respective types of Juda-
ism irreconcilable with nationalism,
nor did they negate the Jewishness
of those members of their commune
ties who were not Zionists. This
sneering at the synagog be it orthodox
or reform, will not help the national
ist cause Rabbis, even though they
represent the Reform synagog, may be
Just as consistent Zionists, and may
know more about Zionism, Jews and

propagandists who see no reason for
the existence of any kind of synagog.
