NEW JEWISH FORCE
NEAR 1O,OO0LIMIT
Announcement Made at Lunch.
con by Zionists and British
Recruiting Mission.

The Jewish force for service in Pales-
tine with the British has been recruited
nearly to full strength of 10000 men,
II was announced at a luncheon given
by members Of the British Recruiting
Mission and the Zionist organization OF
America at the City Club. IS Yves,
Forty-fourth street, yesterday. Several
thousand previously recruited are train
ing at Cairo. Egypt. and others are In
action.
Only twelve days are left to receive
enlistments, 1t was stated, because OF
the expected operation OF the new draft
law. Registrations under the new Law
will cut OF all available material. None
but friendly aliens, including Russians
or men released by their draft boards
for this service can be taken into the
ranks. The average enlistments have
run to thirty men a day for New York
city.
The Jewish force cannot be used as a
vehicle to escape the Federal draft. one
of the speakers warned. In all cases
where q recruit has been released by his
draft board and has not reported to the
battalion headquarters, he has been ar
rested. There are l6i such cases await.
ing action. The men will be given until
Monday to report. The recruiting cam
paign will be continued with open all

Major White denied rumors that were
afloat- he said to the effect that recruits

THE rumor Is false" Major White
said. "All men who have Joined the
Jewish force since recruiting began have
been accepted for service in Palestine
only. They are allowed. so far as regu.
lations permit. to observe religious rites
and holidays and TO fight under the
Jewish nag until their services as sol.

MISS BRICE STAR
OF FUTILE PIECE
"Why Worry?" Brings No New
Triumphs to Popular Bur-
lesque Artist.
AVON COMEDY FOUR A HIT
Vaudeville Singers Provide
the Principal Diversion Of
Weak Offering.

In spite of the prevailing tendency to
make a mountain out of every theatre
cal molehill the divulgence of Fannie
Brice as q star may be viewed with
self-control. A. II. Woods accomplished
this artistic purpose at the Harris The
atre last night, aided by Montague
Glass and Jules Eckert Goodman. who
wrote why worryT' called q 'melo-
dramatic farce with songs"
Miss Brice was a waitress In an UNI
successful restaurant on Second ave-
nue. until a fortunate exchange Of real
estate brought her and the audience
to the second act and a roadhouse on
the Boston Post road. Here there was
greater prosperity. Miss Brice sang.
and so did the Avon Comedy Four. and
all were as entertaining as they had
ever been in vaudeville.
For Fannie Brice has been one Of the
stages most amusing low comedians
ever since she was translated by Flo
Ziegfeld from the burlesque wheel to the
more rarehed, artistic atmosphere OF his
Follies. She has keen sense Of bur-
lesque. and can draw fun from tho
salient physical qualities OF any celeb
rity from Waslav NiJinsky to Theda
Bara. Then she delivers her songs with
an incisiveness that brings out every
point. Whether she was the star or not,
Fannie Brice has hitherto dominated the
scenes in which she appeared.
But her task last evening was differ
ent. She was not burlesquing stage
celebrities but impersonating the heroine
OF play. There was occasional amuse-
ment in her grotesaue manner OF walk
and speech. and the authors had in
vented some characteristic witticisms Of
the Montague Glass school for her to
utter. But there was a plentiful lack
OF variety in Miss Brice and too scant
a supply OF humor. The introduction OF
music in the roadhouse scene of the
second act was therefore a welcome
change
The Avon Comedy Four. famed in
vaudeville. helped out the impoverished
roadhouse proprietors by serving meals
and music simultaneously SO first night
ers had the pleasure Of hearing this
device twice In one week. Miss Brtce
repeated her Theda Bara burlesque from
recent Follies and sang an Indian
song.
There was drama In this act. for a
suspected spy had escaped and was
sought by the police. There was some
uncertainty in the audience as to
whether this was the farce or the melo-
drama promised by the programme. It
was equally futile whatever II was
meant to be. When the curtain fell on
the second act the lions share OF the
applause went to the quartet from
vaudeville.
Anything so naive as this product OF
the dramatist's art has not been wit
messed in many a day. Miss Brice's
humor is not for all markets. and is
most effective when applied intensively
and not extensively. Vera Gordon, May
Boley and George Sidney gave what
were probably faithful studies Of Yiddish
character. But they availed no more
than some of the other we'll acted roles.
Nothing. however, could have helped
