BOYS IN FRANCE
HAVE CHAPERONS
WHEN THEY SHOP

The American soldier in France
is a good fighting man. But when
he faces the French shopkeeper-
that quick-tongued, sharp-eyed lit
tie woman who keeps the till as
fun as she can while her husband
fights-he is glad enough TO have
an American woman beside him.
So the Red Cross women at the
line of communication canteens
have a new job. They take the
boys cut shopping.
There are a string of towns along
the railroads where it is common
sight now to see hundred Amerl-
can soldiers hurrying about the
streets, using their precious quar-
ter hour or so. while they wait for
connections, in laying in stock Of
tobacco or food or sweets. And
beading a group of score here and
a dozen there you will see an Amer
lean woman, shepherding the whole
crowd like a new kind of non-com.,
marching them into the shops,
transIating their wants into shop
keepers French, counting their
change for them, and generally
serving as guide, interpreter and
guardian There Is usually troop
of youngsters bringing up the rear
chattering and giggliug and scrn-
bling now and then for the coppers
that the soldiers throw among
them
IT'S just like going shopping
with my sister at home" said one
grateful warrior.

Twenty-four high schools lads
will be prepared to work on the
farms in the county this year. This
was announced by Z. c. Fisher, city
superintendent of schools, today.
The school term will terminate at
the usual time, May 81. Consider
able has been said since the an
nouncement was made in regards
to the boys working on the farm.
Many believe that the school year
would end at least a month sooner
but the announcement made by Mr..
Fisher dispels this belief.

If the farmers should need the
boys sooner, the "a will be allowed
to leave school at an earlier date

other students.

PALESTINE BATTALION IN

where the first Jewish detachment
Of the Judaean battalion, which en-
listed in the United States for serv-
ice under the British flag and to
fight on the Palestine front, has as
sumed a Jewish atmosphere. Every
one Of the recruits is making de-
termined effort to talk Hebrew and
that only. Classes have already
been organized for those who are
not yet proficient in the mother
tongue, and the boys are working
hard to make good.
The recruits have all been assem-
b1ed on one floor of the great bar
racks and the big building rings with
Palestinian songs which even the
Goyim are beginning to hum.
The very first task that confront
ed the Judaeans was to win the re-

FROM OUR READERS.

To the Editor of the American Jew
ish World.
Permit me a few lines in your
esteemed journal on subject that
concerns the Jewish young men of
this city. It is not necessary for me
to go into detail in order to explain
the purpose and work of the Young
Mems Hebrew Association. If the
Y. M. H. A. does nothing else but
present an opportunity to a great
number of young men to get to-
gether under Jewish conditions and
in Jewish atmosphere, and thus

keep those young men away from
anti-jewish influences, it is &C
complishing great work. But our
Y. M. H. "A. is doing considerable
more in addition. 1t is conducting
classes in Jewish History, Jewish
Literature, Hebrew, Yiddish, classes
in English for the immigrant, and
other work of like nature.
But the Y. M. H. A. can only be
what the community will make of.
it. If the community will take an
interest in it, foster it and support it,
the Y. M. H. A. will be able to &C
complish not only all it is trying
to do at present, but will be able to
widen it's scope of work and to cover
more territory and to be of more
assistance in the community.
Especially is it essential that the
young men Of this city should sup
port this organization in every pos
sible way. The young man should
realize that the Y. M. H. A. is an
institution for his own welfare and
for his own personal interest, and if
the Y. M. H. A. will succeed it will
be of great assistance to him. For
that reason it is the duty of the
young man to take an interest in the
organization and to help it in every
possible way.
What is absolutely necessary is
that a great number of young men
should join the organization and take
an active interest in it. There is a
wonderful opportunity for the young
man who can become active in it
for even at present it has not the
material and assistance for the work
it is doing.
Let's have the young men come
to the club rooms, look the organiza-
ton over, form an idea of the pur-
pose and scope of the association
and they will find themselves taking
an interest in it.
Respectfully yours,

SpeCt OF the. other -.rOOk1eS and they
won it by liberal use of their
fists. 1t was an easy victory and
their equality, if not their superb
ority in physical prowess is conced-
ed. They have already established
cordial relations with those upon
whom their fists made first impress
sion by inviting them to the spe-
cial concerts which they have ar
ranged. The Judaeans count among
their number, three opera singers,
violinist and pianist. The most
impressive thing perceptible among
the Judaeans is their intense Jew
ishness. They are all thrilled with
the thought that they are preparing
to fight on Palestine soil and this
thought has gripped the minds of
some Il or IA Jewish fighting men,
who enlisted in Boston with no hi gh-
er motive in view at the time than
the chance for a good scrap. These
men have undergone that wonder
full transformation. They have be-
come exulted and are the most eager
members of the Hebrew class.
The legion boasts of a physician,
a DR.. Garry who enlisted at Chelsea,
Mass, and who refused an officers
commission in the regular army pre-
ferring to go through all the trials
and hardships of a private soldier
in return for the privilege of fight
ing under the blue and white ban
ner of Judaea. The proudest mem
Der of the legion is Methias Cooper,
whose hair is whitened with the
passing Of over fifty winters and
who surrendered his gun and shield
as sheriff of small town in Con-
necticut in order to enlist in the
Jewish battalion. To him was ac-
corded the privilege of carrying the
Zionist flag as the legion passed in
review before the Governor of Mas
sachusetts and the Mayor of Boston.
The boys are in uniform now and
they have sent their civilian clothes
to Hadassah to be forwarded to
their needy brethren in Palestine.
They expect that Jewish officers
will be appointed soon to command
them and their great hope is that
they shall 60 into Palestine under
Jewish leadership. 1t is not expect
ed that they will sail for the front
before Passover. The plans are al
ready under way to make it possible
for them to properly celebrate the
Jewish Feast of Celebration.

by one of the mail carriers, who are.
also acting as w. S. S. statesmen,
the complaint is made that the resi-
dents of certain Jewish neighbour
hood in the North Side of the city
are not very enthusiastic about the
purchase Of the war savings stamps.
We have no reason to suspect that
the author of the report is in any
way prejudiced, and, therefore, not
stating the facts.
Assuming that the complaint is
justified, we can readily account for
the fact complained Of Some Of our
people do not seem to appreciate
the Importance of the w. S. S. They
think that as long as they have in
vested in Liberty Bonds, and are
ready to invest again when new
issue makes its appearance, they
need not trouble themselves about
little economies and the modest in
vestment in stamps. They leave this
matter to their children who buy
their w. S. S. in the schools.
This is poor reasoning. Our gov
ernment expects a very large sum
to be raised from the sale of the W.
S. S. The savings of the children
alone will not suffice. The adults
must take hand in it, and buy to
the fullest extent of their means.
It is the best method Of saving, and
serving. We urge the officers Of
all Jewish societies, clubs and lodg-
es, to bring this matter to the at
tention of their members and to in
duce them all to acquire and cult
vate the w. S. S. habit Save your
money, and help our government.
DIR. Cyrus Adler, President Of the
Dropsie College of Philadelphia is a
great master Of ceremonies. In a
report of the recent celebration of
Founders day at the college we
read: "The students of the college
were in their caps and gowns, and
the instructors wore the colors of the
institutions of learning from which
they had been graduated" If, as
rumor has it, Dropsie College has
two instructors for every student,
it must have been a very imposing
sight. With caps and gowns and
colors as a basis, the structure of
Jewish learning in this country is
bound to rise to phenomenal heights.

Have You Answered Your Question

Have You Answered Your Question
iere?
Last week there was mailed to each
member of the Chamber of Com
merce a blank containing two cues
lions with instructions for answering.
The number of answers so far re
ceived has been highly satisfactory
but there are still a large number to
be heard from. 1t should be the
pleasure of every member to feel
free to suggest any thing they may
have in mind for the betterment of
their business and home conditions.
There is no publicity to be given to
the answers in such a manner that the
writer can be Unidentified and thus
cause any personal unpleasantness
Do not take for an example the Jew
whose friend found that he had a
secret from his wife and was Gliding
him about it when the Jew answered
him that if he told his wife all that
he knew then she would know all she
knew and what he knew too
There is surely something that you
know of and of which you alone know
that would be benefit to the bust
ness you are conducting. The real
estate man might answer: "Clean
Up" When you are coming into
Hays on either the Golden Belt or
the Union Pacific the first thing that
strike your eye are piles of barnyard
off haul, heaps of old junked iron and
farming implements. Cleanliness
would "make good talk" and adver-
tise Hays in the way you want it ad-
vertised.
The grocery man would likely say
Get your order IN early" Then you

and I can go home early and renew
the acquaintance of my wife and
children who will no longer need
photograph of me to identify me

THINGS ourselves and not set back
