Jews Among the Entente Leaders

This survey is intended to pre-
sent in outline the careers Of some of
the principal Jewish leaders among
the Entente nations and the con-
:, tri'butions which they are making
towards the Allied cause in this
worldwide struggle.
To the Jew the present war is
of three-fold interest and concern.
AS member of nation which has
suffered the utmost cruelty and op-
preston for the last 1000 years, he
can appreciate perhaps more fully
than others the sacred character of
the work of fighting for liberty and
justice. AS loyal citizen Of the
country in which he lives, he is OBJ
viously prepared to make the su-
preme sacrifice for the sake of his
home and mother country. And
last, but not least, "the Great Brit
ish Charter of liberty to the Jews
as the British Declaration on'Zion-
ism has rightly been called, causes
him to feel that his destiny as a
Jew is indissolubly bound up with
a victory for the Allies, and that
it is only by means of the triumph
of the Allied cause that the future
of Jewry is assured.
Of Jewish heroism on the battle
field, of the Zion Mule Corps, of the
Jewish Battalons in England and
America and the innumerable Jew
ish heroes scattered throughout the
non Jewish regiments Of the Entente
armies, much has been written. 1t
has been computed that of the Jews
of British birth ten per cent had
enlisted in the Army or Navy before
the Derby Scheme came into opera
tion. A relatively large number
were decorated for bravery on the
battlefield, six being awarded the

most covet ed of all honours- the
Victoria Cross.
This brief survey, it is hoped, will
give some idea of the contributions
which Jews are making for the AL
lied cause behind the battle lines.
The fascinating careers and i'm
mense contributions to the winning
of the war by great leaders in
American Jewry, such as the Hon.
Henry Morgenthau, Mr.. Julius
Rosenwald and Mr. Jacob H. Schiff,
have already received presentation
in this publication. Of other lead
ing figures in this and other coun-
tries, are to be mentioned men like
the Earl of Reading, in his mission
to the United States to cement the
spirit of brotherhood between the
two great English-speaking races on
either side of the Atlantic; Mr..
Baruch and Mr.. Samuel ,Gompers,
in the outstanding and controlling
of the resources of the United States
for the effective carrying on of this
world struggle; and Mr.. Kahn who,
though of German extraction, has
thrown off the yoke of Prussian
Militarism and has shown his whole
hearted support and enthusiasm for
the cause of the Allies by his liberal
and by his testimony to
the Righteousness of that cause, are
merely representative of thousands
of individual Jews who are playing
no mean part among the Allied ma
tions for the triumph of democracy
and liberty.
Let us hope that the present unity
of effort among the representative
Jews of the Entente Powers is SYM
bolical Of greater unity which will
arise after the war, not for the pur-
pose of annihilation and destruction,

PAPER SHORTAGE TO bE RELIEVED
 BY CHILE MILLS

WASHlNGTON, Aug. 13.-Shortage of paper has led 10 a government in- vcstigation of the paper-manufactur ing possibilities in Chile. Paper man. ufacturers of the republic have held several conventions to ascertain the capacity of their factories and grades of paper that can be manufactured in that country
 There are now in Chile nine paper factories. with total production oi 1,5"0,ooo hiICs (of 2.2O pounds) annu ally They are capitalized at 3,5Ou,- ooo pesos and employ 4OO men
 The newspapers of Chile have been alarmed at the scarcity of print paper due to the shortage in the United States and the lack of vessels to transport what paper could be ob- in the world It has been developed that the big factories in Chile can indht print paper out or lne raw llla- terial obtainable in Chile, and they have already begun the output. This will be increased as rapidly as possi- ble. In the southern part of the re public vast acreage of timber land produces sufficient pulp wood to sup, ply the needs of the manufacturers for many years.

AN INTRICATE PROBLEM.

One of the most important things in the public mind
Just now is the so-caed Russian situation Properly
speaking there is such thing II is varied COM
pcated so widely separated that it only be spoken
of in the plural There is situation at Archange an
other at Vladvosok another at Petr0grad and still an
other at Omsk In the Caucasus is another and still an
other in Ukraine while along the Manchuran border al
revolution separate from all the resi- in progress The
bolshevk s0-caled government has its seat board
a German warshp at Kronstadt and throughout Russia
and Siberia still other local governments of more or
less authority Ii is with this multiplicity of factions that
the allies have to DEAL and the problem is such that none
know how safely to approach it. The Germans had their
chance to retain power in Russia proper at least but
their nsuferabe arrogance has forever destroyed that
chance No matter how much they may differ among
themselves to what they should do TO work out the sal
walton of their country there is but little difference
among them in their enmity of the kaiser and his mnons
The Russian people ensaved for centuries ignorant most
of them suddenly given their freedom knew no more what
to do with it, how to govern themselves than did the
black slaves freed in the south during the Civil They
have not yet learned but among the masses is an earnest
desire for liberty for the right to live at peace with the
world for the ownership of the land they have long
titled for Others and an uninterrupted dream of Russian
nation strong and free, such as they have pictured the
United States to be- 1t is this desire for national unity
and strength deeply inrooed in the Russian mind that
makes the turn hopefully and trustngy as they
can after their abuse by the Germans toward the Unit
ed States II for this reason this country than any
other should take the lead in trying to bring order out
of the chaos into which the great nation has been plunged
Whatever policy or policies may be adopted the United
States is making no mistake in relying on kindness and
good treatment to weld the Russian people sody TO them
and to the allies To extend the helping hand to provide
food and assist the wretched peasants in getting once
more on their feet is the task at present being under
taken 1t is huge undertaking but it will bring results
We have the problem of people of nearly two hundred
Millions without a government without leaders, no
guides lights for their path they struggle through
the difficulties with which they surrounded Ii the
masses were educated they could be dealt with much
easily but then if they educated they would
not have found themselves in this condition AS il is the
Russian situations probably better known to the pre-
sdent than any other American and he If anyone can
find heway to solve the intricate problem He may make
mistake for dealing with many factions it is not pos
sbe that all will be pleased but this country well place
its reliance nthe good and calm judgment of Pre-
sdent Wilson.
