Col. Harry Cutler, chairman OF the
Jewish Board for Welfare Work,

he recently received from General
Pershing:
'The stirring message OF greet
ings from the Jewish welfare board Is
much appreciated in the American ex-
forces. The constant sup
port and cordial assistance of our

thought that all creeds are united un-

the Red Cross and various works OF
aid and practical assistance by the
thousands. And all this astounding
activity starts up, moves on, rolls,
transmits itself, navigates, discharges
and precipitates itself and functions
with due order, but without stopping;
always better, always more effective
and more powerful, and increasing
its enormous extension and its poSsi-
bilities.

The Second Discovery Of America

nixed perhaps a little too slowly, this
other New World among us which we
call-France."
Modest About France
Lavedan's voicing of his country's
admiration and affection for the ma
tion across the seas that has come to
the assistance OF France in her hour
OF need is peculiarly generous. He
makes no reference to the days when
France fought almost alone against
the common enemy of civilization.
He does not allude to the heroic
struggle against overwhelming odds
that never wavered until, first Britain
and now America, began pouring men
and supplies into the ports Of their
hard-pressed ally. He is silent ON the
subject of his country's unostenta-
tious proffers OF every possible assis-
tance to the first OF the American Ex-
peditionary Force, and he makes no
mention of the unqualified hospitality
extended to the men from the United
States whose presence In strange
country has been robbed of the most
disagreeable features by the simple
courtesy and unfailing generosity of
q people as gentle In tnelr MONIES %
they are stern In battle.
This French writer might have car
ried his reflections farther. He could
add that the second discovery OF
America has been accompanied by q
first discovery of France. This coun-
try has learned that popular theories
about the men Of France were farther
from the truth than French visualiza-
tions of American "money-grubbers. %
We have seen the low-voiced, cour-
teous defenders of the tri-color con-
duct themselves in battle with con-
tanned fury and heroic bravery that
has wrecked the onslaughts Of over
whelmingly superior German forces.
America has long entertained o very
genuine affection for the French
That sentiment must now blend with
richly-won admiration and profound
respect.

A HEALTHY ARMY

Statistics made public by the Sur
geon-general Of the United States
Army show that the death rate
from sickness among soldiers in
camps in this country Is just about
one-third of the death rate among
civilians. For period of two months
the death rate among soldiers was 2.8
per thousand, while In civilian life
the death rate was 6.7 per thousand.
Health conditions among the Amer
ican soldiers In Europe are even bet
ter than among those at home, says
the Surgeon-general. The reason for
this is that only men I'm the best phys
ical condition are sent overseas.

No Liberty Bonds In Germany

They don't have Liberty Bond No.
sues in Germany. They have just
bonds which large part OF the pop
ulation wears and ALSO war loans. You
know how Liberty Bonds are sold In
this country. The bonds are simply
offered to the American people anu
they buy. There Is no compulsaoll.
1t rs simply the desire of the indivt0-
val who is patriotic to aid the sol
diers and the country as much As pos
sible.
But in Hunland there is different
process. The Government informs
the large banking institutions and
the large corporations that they
should take such and such o propor-
ton OF the war loan. It ia done. Our
former. Ambassador to Germany,
James w. Gerard, who was In Berlin
when we severed diplomatic relations
with the Hun. states that there is
never any refusal on the part OF the
institution which receives tie intima-
tion.
'"They know perfectly we'll what
would follow IL they did refuse" says
Mr. Gerard. land they never do"
The bank in turn notifies depos-
itOr that his balance 10 30 many
marks. The bank thinks that he
should subscribe certain percentage
of his income. He does. He too
knows what would happen IL he
didn't.
German soldiers are driven before
o relentless system which aims at the
suppression of their individuality.

freedom.
So 1t Is that America 60 going to
win this war. We 60 into the fight
gladly because 1t is q struggle for
freedom. The nation again will man
ifest more than ever before. through
the Fourth Liberty Loan, that tree

they can't fight for freedom. at least
provide their younger representatives
with every needed means.
