MANY PROMINENT JEWS
KILLED IN, WAR.

I,ondon.-The victims of the war
include many prominent names of
Jews active in the communal and
religious life of the community. The
latest victim was Lieutenant Denzil
A. Myer, one of the most promls-
ing young men of London Jewry,
and for many years the honorary
secretary of the Stepney Jewish
schools.
His brother, Major Ernest A.
Myer, was killed on inspection duty
in the trenches in France on April
4, 1915. Denzil Myer, who was
born in 1876, was almost worship
ped by the hundreds of Jewish chill
dren in Stepney. He was an active
spirit in the Jewish Lads Brigade,
and was possessed of fine religious
feeling. He was killed in action on
February Is in Mesopotamia.
Signor Santelia, the noted Jew
ish architect and leader of Italian
Futurists, has been killed in battle.
AS a Socialist he was, before the
war, an outspoken anti-militarist.

PALESTINE REFUGEES PER
MITTED TO RETURN.

The Turkish government has per-
mitted the Jews who were expelled
from Jaffa and its suburbs, includ-
ing Tel-Aviv to return to their
homes, according to telegram re-
ceived by the Copenhagen Zionist
Bureau from Madrid.
The telegram, which is dated
June 10th, is as follows
Following the repeated interven-
ton of the Spanish Government and
the King of Spain, the government
received an official report from the
Turkish Government that it has is
sued orders permitting the evacuat-
ed Jews to return to their homes i'm
mediately.
"The dreadful condition of the
refugees is described in a report re-
ceived by ode Judische Rund
schau.
"Those who were fastened from
Petach Tikwah to Rais-al-Ain and
r-Saba, are in very serious
plight. Men, women and children
are absolutely shelterless, exposed
to the heat of the day and the cold
and winds of the night. The relief
committee offered to pay the fares
Of the refugees to Semach, but the
railroad refused to receive them as
passengers. There was no POSSIBLE
ity of transporting them by wagons.
In fact there was absolutely no
means of transportation. Food was
SO scarce that only small quantity
of dry bread had to suffice for the
$500 refugees. The same distress
ing reports were received from the
refugees in Galilee.
"In consequence of the lack of
shelter and food the rate of sickness
increased to an alarming degree"

rector of the laboratory under the bu-
reau Of Contract Supervision.

tilities, and he offered himself for mil
itary or other service. IL the need arose.
Mayor Mitchell sent the following reply
to Mr.. Klein:
"You need not have sent me any as
surance OF your loyalty or your desire
10 serve your country. The fact that
Won are OF German birth and German
blood is no reason for questioning
your Loyalty as an American citizen.

Washington, March 26.-Secretary
Of War Baker, as part Of his prepared
ness suggestions TO the nation, to-day
outlined a course which men and
women who are seeking an opportunity
TO serve their country might follow.
Every day has brought several score
letters 20 his desk asking how per-
sonal services might be rendered.
Mr.. Baker pointed out that the reg
ular army, National Guard and oficers
Reserve Corps offered opportunities to
men who desired military service. The
reserve, he explained, offered a WIDE
field Of choice, since the staff corps
divisions were composed OF men spe-
cially trained in civil life in the WORK
they would perform IN war times.
In addition 20 this, the Secretary
added. the mobilization of national re-
sources being conducted by the Coun-
ell of National Defence furnished every
man engaged in business or trade with
a way to place his services at the ma.
toms disposal. The plan being worked
out, he said, was the coordination OF
every industry, so that the government,
through a small committee OF organl-
cation, could put its hands upon any
mart of the widespread activities.
Mr. Baker urged that men get into
touch with their associates in trade,
so that the committee groups would
be able to speak for all elements OF
any trade or industry when the time
came for government service.
For women, many Of whom have been
included in his correspondents, the
Secretary suggested that they affiliate
with the local agencies organized tc
enroll the woman power Of the nation.
The National Security League, the Ma
tional Woman Suffrage Association
and the National Association OF
Women's Clubs, he said. were all en-
