Upon the platform sat representatives of the different racial groups; the Czechoslovaks, Jugoslavs, Poles, and Roumanians. The Czechoslovak Ma tional Chorus sang the Pan-Slavic Hymn, and other music was furnished in the course of the program. Large numbers of the Slavic and Roumanian soldiers were present, wearing the uni forms of their new armies.
 Ignace Paderewski for the Poles, Professor Thomas c. Masaryk for the Czechoslovaks, Lieut.. Vasile Stoica for the Roumanians, and Dr. Hinko Hin- kovich for the Jugoslavs were the principal speakers of the afternoon. All of them described the national faith in America and her Allies. Pad. ererski paid a splendid tribute to the Czechoslovaks for their courage and prowess. Every speaker recognized the fact that all of the oppressed races must work in harmony, since they are fighting common enemy, and all for the same great end.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
 ISSUES STATEMENT

"The American Red Cross War Council today issues the fifth install ment of it's statement setting forth the use that is being made of the Red Cross war fund. This instalment deals with the activities of the 14th divis- ion of the Red Cross, which covers all parts of the world outside the war zone.
 "The 14th, or Insular and Foreign Division of the American Red Cross was organized in November, 1917. In the beginning it consisted of Il chap ters, three of which, in Syria, Turkey and Persia, were inactive. The other 8 have grown to a membership of 100,- 900 adults and 125,O00 juniors. The finished product of their efforts brot to the Red Cross storehouses repre- sents a yearly value of $1,5O0,O00. To the first war fund drive this division gave $267,46263. It's quota to the sec ond drive was $3OO,0O0. It's actual contribution was $1,71o,OO0. "The first gift came from Argentina, where 200 Americans known as the Patriotic Society of American Women held a bazaar which netted $105,000 A second bazaar last year brought $156,OOO. The Argentine chapter in the second war fund drive sent, in $6O,OOO
 From Valparaiso and the coast towns of Chilli, with a total of less than 200 Americans, there came con- tribution of $11S,O00 Chili's contri- button to the second war fund drive was $S2,S0O.
 Peru chapter donated $19,30O and monthly contribution of $1,OO0. In the Canal Zone the work is we'll or ganized and going forward and re- ports from Central America show an- xiety to help the cause.
 "In the West Idies there is great interest in Red Cross work. In Cuba the second drive brought $155,O00, while the Republic of Cuba, as a gov ernment sent $65,00O as a personal contribution In Porto Rico, steady stream of knitted garments, etc., is coming from the women, in addition to general contribution of $21, ,501.22. Hawaii reports 100 percent in pro- duction and membership. In the lat ter part of 1917 Hawaii contributed $2O0,O0O. For the second drive came s677 7,OOO. In the farthest east, China gave $1,803, for the first drive and 1 $1OO,OO0 for the second.
 Japan is working hand in hand
 with the American Red Cross. In the i first drive it contributed $2,292.3S and in the second, $60,OO0. The tiny is-
 land of Guam gave $2,e1257 to the
 first fund and 65,S00 to the second.
 Then there are chapters in Spain
 Sweden, Switzerland and of course,
 in the Philippines. In the latter a

DISCOVERED
 USES FOR GLUE
Household Economies Made Possible
 By Several New Uses
!sns,sa s.as,s Hood Asau,ussrss,eO

With our government demanding all possible conservation in American households, several newly discovered uses for glue present to the thought full woman opportunities to prolong the life of household articles.
 AS every family has, or should have on hand a bottle or tube of good glue, the following practical sugges- tions can be acted upon without delay or expense.
 To Put New Life in an Old Broom A teasponnful of glue mixed in a basin of hot water poured over broom and then allowed to thoroughly dry will greatly stiffen it, and prolong it's usefulness and life.
 For Barked or Scared Shoes Very often a small piece of the 1 leather is lifted or loosened. Don't cut it off and try to cover the place with blacking. Flatten the piece in place with little glue and allow tc dry. Then apply backing and the surface will be as good as new. For Tears or Rents in Silk 1 Another piece of silk or fabric oi the same color placed under the teal with a thin coating of glue will bring the edges more firmly together thar can be done with a needle. Allow tt dry thoroughly and rent will be almos invisible.
 To Keep Rubbers from Slipping
 Rubber overshoes often become st loose that they slipoff at the heels |especially in the winter and spring when the ground is muddy or slushy This annoying trouble can be entirel! eliminated by gluing a felt bant around the inside top of the rubber.
 To Protect Furs and WooIens It is commonly known that moth very much dislike the odor of ink il old newspapers. Several thickeness es of old newspapers firmly glued to
 gether may be made into the form of
 bag and the garment placed inside After the ends and all joints are firm lily sealed with glue, the bag is absc lutely moth and dust proof, and you protection from moths has cost pra<
 sically nothing.

BELGIANS REFUSE
 GERMAN OFFERS
No indictments Can Attract Work. men in Occupied Country, Who
 Refuse to Aid Their Conquerors

Stories of a tremendous strike by Belgian workmen in the occupied sec tions of their country hmave reached America from time to time. Further confirmation comes in secret cores pondence from Verviers, published in the Belgian Bulletin:
 "In spite of the most enticing offers on the part of the Germans to obtain workers, no one nibbles at the bait, although the poverty grows blacker and blacker."
 Reports which reached the Depart ment of Labor short time ago were to the effect that million Belgians had refused to do any work for the Germans. This information, though unofficial, came from Belgian officer.

act as communal spOnges. While
they never contribute cent to the
support Of a congregation, they
sometimes call for the services OF
the rabbi who is salaried by the con-
gregation. Should the rabbi refuse
his services at marriage ceremony
or funeral, what a howl such peo
pie and their friends would raise!
And yet, what claim have such peo-
pie on the minister which means,
the congregations, services?
But even that is not the worst
Of it. We actually know of cases
in which such gentry have used the
rabbits services to his great incon-
venience discomfort and loss Of time
and have then forgotten , to show
him even the customary token Of
appreciation. Were they poor, the
rabbi, Of course, would not expect
anything. But they were not. They
simply took advantage of the rabbi
and the congregation to which he
ministers. Some day, congregations
and rabbis will become wise and
enter into an agreement to refuse
their services to a Jewish family that
is not affiliated with some Jewish
congregation. Congregations nova
days are not exclusive. The poor
est family may belong to one, if it
is sufficiently interested in the syna-
gogs work.

EDI TOR IAL
COMMUNAL SPONGES.

We have a great variety of Jews
nowadays We have Jews who are
100 per cent Jews. Nothing Jew
ish is foreign to them. They are
members of Jewish congregations,
contributors to Jewish charity and
members of other Jewish organiza-
tons that make for culture, uplift,
or sociability They support every
movement that makes for the
preservation of Jews and Judaism
From this type Of Jew we come
by slight gradations to the Jew who
is such in name only and makes
himself known to his fellow Jews
only when he needs them. For a
Jew to live in a community for a
number of years without affiliating
with a congregation is common
case nowadays. Some consider
themselves entirely absolved from
such an obligation by being Chris
tan Scientists That makes them
better Jews, they say. Right they
are. One becomes a much better
Presbyterian by joining the Catho-
lie church.
We should not have word to say
against such unaffiliated Jews, were
it not for the fact that they often

A NEW JEWISH KNIGHT.

Heinrich Graetz has become the
popular Jewish historian, not only
because Of his merit as a historian,
but also because Of his sterling quail
tiles as a true and warm-hearted
Jew He loved his people, was
proud of it's past and had great hopes
for it's future. His peoples history
was to him a romance with Israel
as it's hero. He gloried in the noble
achievements and distinctions Of his
fellow Jews.
Were he now living his would be
the pleasure of seeing one of his
own kin attain high honors for
merit and distinguished service in
the present war for world democ-
racy. We refer to Major-General
John Monasch who is with the
Australian contingent fighting with
the British in France. The father
of General Monasch was the son Of
a Hebrew book seller at KrotOschin,
and the brother of Mrs Heinrich
Graetz and of |. Monasch, one of
the oldest Jewish residents of Min
neapolis. General Monasch was
born in Melbourne, Australia, re-
ceived his education there, and be-
came one of its prosperous and dis
tinguished citizens. At the out
break of the present war he joined
the colors with the rank of colonel,
and was soon in active service in
France. His promotion in the army
has been rapid and in addition to
other honors, he has lately been

AN ANTI-ZIONIST
PROFESSOR.

A Harvard professor, Albert
Bushnell Hart by name, has come
out in newspaper statement in op-
position to Zionism. That in itself
need cause no alarm nor even sur
prise. There is no reason why even
a Harvard professor cannot have
distorted views on certain subjects,
especially subjects with which he is
not familiar. There is no reason in
the world why even professor can
not talk like a well-known charac-
ter in the Bible who was in Balaam's
service. What strikes us as singu-
lar is that this professor who we sur
mise is not Jew, talks SO much
like some Of Our well-known Jewish
anti-Zionists. His first argument is
as follows: "The Jewish people
must either fish or cut bait. They
must either reject their American
citizenship or renounce any such
dangerous doctrine as Zionism.'
The Professor did not stop to con-
slider that President Wilson, Sir
Arthur Balfour, the French secre-
tary of State, Pinchon, and the heads
Of other governments, probably
know the qualities and require
ments Of good citizenship as well
as he. Yet they totally disagree
with him regarding Jews and Zion
ism. President Wilson did not ap-
point Mr.. Brandeis as Justice Of the
United States Supreme Court be-
cause he is bad citizen, being
leading Zionist 1t is quite possible
that President Wilson considers
Justice Brandeis as all the finer type
of an American citizen because of
his Zionism A good son is more
apt to be a good husband than one
whose sonship qualities are not so
good.
His first argument, however, is
not sufficient for our professor. He
is interested, not only in the well
fare Of America, but also in the well
fare of the Jews. And so he con-
tinues: "The establishment of
Jewish nation in Palestine is i'm
practical. Palestine is unsuited for
the development of a prosperous
country" But why worry about
that? Even if Palestine were suited
for such a purpose, it would still be
wrong, from the professors point
Of view, for American Jews to sup
port Zionism. Would the status of
Jewish American citizens who are
Zionists be changed for the better
by the prosperity of Palestine?

dred refugee children in this section, and they
were near enough the firing line at the time
of her letter to see many aeroplanes and to
hear the boom of the cannon.

DR.. Bancroft has been assigned to clinic in
Paris; DR.. Helen Woodruff has charge of

Blair has been held in Paris to report on in

to be sent to a devastated region to do recon-
struction duty. Drs. Dorothy and Florence
Child, of Philadelphia are in Avon doing elm
ical and hospital work.
So these women sail away in groups or sim
ely as they requistioned to carry on
medical work on the other side. There is not
a branch in the medical profession in which
women not engaged, and the list that the
American Women's Hospitals has of physicians
ready to sail is extremely comprehensive.
