Young Men Not Subject Draft Hasten to Join British

Solomon Frankel, another Of the re-
cruits, as been for years we'll known as
public speaker and lecturer for the
Zionist idea, and has been in the en-
ploy Of the Federation of American
Zionists as spreader of its propa-
ganda for the restoration Of Jewish ma

most OF his fellows, but says that he
was unable to resist the tempetation of
fighting for the ideal for which he has
spoken for so many years.
Shortly before the outbreak of the
war, he settled with his family in Pal
estine. When the conflict began, how
ever, he was forced, as a Turkish
subject, to fee the country.
Joseph Brainin, another recruit, is
the son of Reuben Brainin, foremost
Hebrew literary critic,' cssayist and
journalist Of the present time. and an
advocate of Jewish nationality for more
than thirty years.
Young Brainin has not only offered
himself for the cause in which he and
his father believe so devoutly. but is
also active in organizing a committed
of newspaper men and communal work
ers to encourage and facilitate further
recruiting among the Jews of the coun-
try.

Branch Of the British and Canadian Re-
cruiting Mission, established at ia
