did not bother much with what was
going on in Europe and in Asia.
Now, however, there is nothing Of

country than the problems over which
the European nations also are strug-

Of the peace treaty will not solve all

the delivery Of men, munitions ana
material meant the difference between
the winning or the losing of battle.
Speed was the essence of proper
preparation. on that account the drlV-
ers in the army were taught to handle

1000, 900 men who were in the Ameri-
can Army at the time the armistice
was signed. almost 100000 of whom
were in France, while the rest were in
training in camps all over the United
States" That is a question which has
been on the lips of nearly every other
person in the country. 1t is no wonder
that many people have thought there
would be trouble in finding places for
all these men; and yet it is believed
that there will be occupations open
to all of them as fast as they can be
dismissed from the service. A ma
iority Of them Will return TO their
former positions in Office and shop, on
the farm and in factory, and in various
lines of industry. Others will seek new
fields. In many cases the experience
and the education which they nave
gained as a result of their military
training will fit them for better posi-
tions than they occupied previously.

some cases which Is the knottiest

Der that Will require considerable
wrestling before we put both shoulders
on the mat. But there are big minds
now working over most Of these ques-

ADDRESS LOCAL
 JEWISH w WOMEN
 ON FARM WORK

In the forum" recently established by Harmony lodge, No. I'll, Independ- ent Order B'nai Birth in cooperation with Bridgeport section, Council of Jewish Women and the Hebrew Chll- dren's Aid society, Louis Busker, rep resenting the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society of New York, delivered a very interesting address on Jewish Women in Agriculture before an audience of representative Jewish residents of this city.
 Mir. Busker by facts and statistics showed that the farm movement among Jews is increasing yearly. Last year the society assisted AZ JeWlsh families to settle on farms. These were drawn from 61 different occupations. Former Jewish farm laborers whom the society helped to find positions on farms composed 30 per cent. or the total. About two-thirds of the JeWlsn farmers are successful and remain on their farms. the others seldom perse- were longer than a year or two, be- cause for the most part the women hecone dissatisfied and their hus- bands are obliged to sell their farms sometimes at financial loss ana to return to the city.
 Each of the Jewish organizations promised to form plans and devise means for the social, religious and ed ucational advancement of the Jewish farmers in this vicinity A committee will be appointed to visit the nearby farming districts and arrange for lec- ture courses, social reunions, enter tainments, etc, in the near future.
 Charles H. Shapiro, who presided at the meeting, announced that patrl- otic rally will be held in Stepney for the Jewish farmers the latter part of May at which Isaacs Alcalay, chief rabbi of Serbia and one of the Royal High commissioners to this country and Gabriel Davidson, manager Of the Jewish Agricultural and 1ndustrla Aid society, will be the speakers.

The airmen must have heard the cheers, for like flock of wild ducks they flew straight to the camp, and twice circled the place with a grace and daring that made us proud to think that we were British. And after this little show flying the formation broke up, and the airmen went off in pairs to finish the work they had set out to accomplish. / Bomb after bomb fell, a loud ex- plosion followed each one. There was plenty of gunfire, but the airmen did not seem in the least perterbed by the efforts that Jerry was making.
 After time other machines appear ed. They were Germans, just awak- ening to the fact that there was raid. They were long time too late, though for by the time the enemy machines arrived our chaps had dropped all their bombs and were away again be- fore a German got anywhere near them.
 The penalty for the joy we had ex- perienced during the raid was the foregoing of our dinner; indeed, we did not get any more food that day until supper time, and very little at that.
 Anyhow, we didn't grumble. We had enjoyed ourselves immensely. (By The International News Bureau, Incl

BOXING TO BE ON PROCRAMSIN
 BRITISH GAMES

London, May 9.---Boxing is to be an essential part of the training of eve-v British soldier henceforth. The aver age training period of the British re- cru1t now is not more than six months out several hours of each week will be devoted to t'oxing, partly in an eHort to counteract the deadening in uuence of continuous drilling and partly because boxing is regarded as Ihe pest possible means of develon- Ing the "combative spirit in soldiers
 During the present summer a com. prehensive program of boxing tour- naments will be carried out in every training camp in England, and Amer 1can soldiers who are in camps here will participate in this part of the camp life.
 In an instruction leafet Colonel H U. Mayes, Director of the Canadian Army Gymnastic staff, says:
 The cultivation of the fighting spirit is the greatest problem with which we are faced. For some time past the bayonet has been our es- pecial weapon, and no other nation has ever achieved such success with cold steel. But there is something still lacking in the training; the sol- dier is taught the spirit of the bay. onet, taught that he must strike hard to kill, but he is not taught to take as well as give, punishment
 There is practically only one pas time to give our men this essentia. experience. That is boxing. In no other sport is the spirit of give and take so strongly developed. And that is why new era in the training of the British soldier has come into ex- istence. We are going to try to teach our men that an offensive, cumulative spirit is the greatest asset a soldier can possess.
 Tn order to beat the Germans, the average soldier must realize that a tremendous effort has yet to be made both physical and mental. Courage is created or largely based on confi- dence. Boxing teaches a man self confidence, how to take a blow or a. succession of blows, knowing that his opportunity is coming.
 What we owe to boxing and other sports in this crisis it is impossible to calculate, notwithstanding that only ten per cent. of the nation par | ticipated The mere fact of watching boxing and other sports has tended in a measure to keep alive the com bative instinct of the British race, all though it must be remembered that watching a game may increase an in dividuars spirit, but does not i'm prove his physique"

Bombs began to fall in the town, and we knew then that British airmen were getting a bit of their own back. They seemed to have taken the gar rison by complete surprise. This was the first visit that our airmen had paid to this place, and they did the work well. At first we could scarcely see the machines, which were flying at a great height. Then the airmen be- gan to swoop down towards their ob- jectives, and as they descended reg ular British cheer went up from we chaps in the camp. The guards came up cursing and swearing.
 Get inside, you swine," one of them shouted.
 You'd better get inside, Jerry, or you may not live to eat your dinner" said one elated captive.
 The guard took no notice of this taunt, neither did the men observe the order to get inside.
 As the machines came lower the cheers of the prisoners grew louder, and every time bomb was dropped, someone would call out, There's an- other one for you, Jerry"
 The Germans must have known what was being said. but there was no reply fgorthcoming. They seemed too frightened to say anything.
