So JEWISH WORKERS

Col. Barker Bids Godspeed to
the Graduates of Train

tween the seven great organizations
working for the happiness and welfare
of our soldiers and sailors was re-

Barker, who went to France represent
ing the Salvation Army with the first
contingent of our troops and has been
"over there" fifteen months, was the
principal speaker and wished the fifty
eight Jewish workers of the class Cod
speed, while Louis Marshall, the promi-
nent Jewish attorney and philanthro-
pist of New York, lauded the work OF
the Salvation Army among the boys
at the front.
"What our fighting boys need is in
spiration and heart and character in
those who are there to help them"
declared Col. Barker. "You will rep
resent in the camps and overseas the
ideals and standards Of the Jewish
faith, and it is up to you above all
things to he consistent in your re-
ligious practices. Practice what you
breach. That, 1 am sure, has been
the secret of our own success. If you
live up to the principles Of your faith
and give what you have to give from a
heart big with love, the boys will re-
spect you, whether they be Protestant,
Catholic or Jew"
The newly graduated field workers
will make a total of 260 men doing
field work in our camps and naval
training stations under the auspices
of the Jewish Welfare Board. The
Board has about fifty ''huts" in the
various camps and maintains centers
in all large cities where soldiers and
sailors of all faiths are welcomed. a

lished in Paris, and 100 men are being
recruited here for overseas work.
There are now nearly 125,0OO Jews

800 WOMEN NEEDED
BY SALVATION ARMY
Commander EvangeIine Booth
Says War Relief Work
Must Be Extended.

Commander Evangeline Booth, lead
er of the Salvation Army in the Unit
ed States, has been suddenly called
upon to furnish 500 additional war
work women for France. The request
is contained in a report just received
by her from Col. William A. Barker
of the Salvationist forces, whom she
sent to France over year ago to es-
tablish hutment and general war relief
work with the American troops.
ave will do all we can to fill this
demand" said Commander Booth when
discussing the approaching United
War Work Campaign, "and the need
itself should impress the American
public all the more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and enlargins
the war relief work Of the seven or
CARNATIONS, besides the noble Red
Cross, now merged for drive for
funds. Each is vital cog in a vast
machine for human relief, and each is
indispensable, serving its particular
elements in it's own way.
"The Salvation Army was born in
hardship, reared in privation and
trained to every phase Of human mis-
cry and how to cope with it. Perhaps
that accounts in some degree for the
success our work has attained and for
which we are thankful.
"We are of the common people, and
we toll on practical basis. We learn

Boer war, when we stood at the side

PRESIDENTS VISIT To
ITALY MOST IMPORTANT
Is Expected to Discuss Italian
War Claims With
Premier Orlando.

Paris, Dec. 31.-Great interest is
manifested among conference defe-
gates and in French political circles
in President Wilson'S trip to Italy be-
cause of the Importance of the sub
jects he is expected to discuss there.
Foremost among these subjects, it
was supposed, will be questions re-
lating to the Adriatic, Fiume and the
Dalmation coast, concerning which
the JugO-SlavS and the Italians are
not in accord. The pretCnsions Of the
Jugo-Slavs to Fiume and the Dalma-
ton coast are founded on their claim
to a prepOnderanCc of their nationals
in the populations there. According
to the views of the Jugo-Slav leaders,
the controversy involves the principle
of the right of peoples to dispose Of
themselves This is one of the first
concrete questions of this kind that
President Wilson will be called upon
to discuss.
ItalNS historic claims, together
with her interest in ample protection
along her Adriatic coast will natur-
ally, also be considered. Talks by the
president with Premier Orlando and
Admiral Thaon di Reval, an author
ity on matters pertaining to the Adri-
attic and commander of Italian naval
forces now occupying the Dalmatian
coast are expected to clear up and
conciliate many of the claims put
