First Word Received From First Red
Cross Nurse From This County
Cover There"
HAS BROTHER WITH
AMERICAN FORCES
Was Teacher Here; Would MOI Mis-
Being In For World; Says
She is 0. K.

The first news from the first Gra-
dy county girl on active service in
France as a Red Cross nurse, was
received in the form of a letter from
Miss Edith Croan to her mother,
Mrs. r. B. Croan. Miss Croan has
been in France for several months,
and judging from her letter is proud
of being in" and is quite satisfied
Miss Croan has lived with her pa.
rents on Grady county farm, south
of Bradley, for a number Of years
She attended school at Edmond and
prepared herself for a teacher, fol
lowing that profession In this county
short time. After that she took
up nursing and about the first OF
the present year sailed for France
as Red Cross nurse.
Her brother, Ed Croan, did not
wait for the draft call, after she
sailed, but enlisted and is now on
active service. Whether or not he
is in France at this time was not
definitely learned, but if he is not
actually in the thick Of things along
the western front, h is on his ~ay
the second of the Croan family to
answer the call of his country. The
letter from Miss Croan shows plainly
that nothing but the Red Cross and
her work with the organization mat
ters. Her letter to her mother fol
lows:
u know from actual observation
what it means to the boys who go
to the front, but | can't imagine any
worse punishment now or hereafter,
than being left out of the joy of "be-
ing in" or doing our bit" have
been reading about the Americans
VINO are in the battle of battles, and
was wishing l had been a boy so
| could be there.
y would much rather have an IN.
known grave in France than not to
have come, and be an object of scorn
in after years. And | am sure you,
my little mother, are doing your part
by sending Ed and me, and taking
care OF the ones at home, sewing for
the Red Cross, conserving the food
and Going the thousand and one
things that must be done--and l am
sure yours is the harder task of the
two, the anxious waiting, longing
for rows, etc.
But don't worry about me. / am
all o. X and if | were to get sick
l would be well cared for-but II
play that l may not get sick because
want to be help, not burden.
"We are not so terribly far from
the fighting line, but far enough for
safety. Yes, it has been a terrible
fight and still continues so, but please
God We shall beat them before it is
so cheer up, and don't get
the wind up" as our British friends
say for getting scared-you see am
adding to my vocabulary in slang.
Il wish you might have some of
the rain we are having here; it rains
kcre without any provocation what
ever, and is still quite cold, although
we have had one beautiful, warm,
spring day.
Tell everybody who is interested
Or cares to know that l am as hap
ny and contented in my work here
as l was at home; that we are 60
ing to win, and to keep a "stiff up
per lip and work, and save for the
allies and Uncle Sam, the dearest
nan on earth.
With much love to all,
Edith.

DUTCH JEWS A UNIT FOR
PALESTINE.

Mr.. Jacobus Kann, chairman of
the Zionist Commission in the
Hague, was interviewed during his
recent visit to London regarding
the position of Zionists in Holland.
He expressed the opinion that the
majority of Dutch Jews were whole
heartedly in favor of National
Home for the Jewish people in Pal
estine and that the local Zionist
Federation was by far the strong
est and most influential organiza-
ton of Jews in Holland. He did
not think that there would be any
considerable immigration into Pal
estine from Holland, but many
refugees from Belgium and other
countries, who now obtained shelter

A deputation of the Ukraine Jews
made representations to the Minister
of the Interior concerning the ar
bitrary action of the provincial gov
ernors in suppressing the Jewish
Communal Councils, on the ground
of the abolition of autonomy for
Jews. The deputation further
charged the provincial officials with
laying their hands on the large
sums of money belonging to the old
Korobka funds (the Jewish meat
tax) and utilizing them for non
jewish purposes. The Minister, in his
reply, promised to inquire into the
question of the meat tax funds, but
he declined to promise that a stop
would be put to the present practice
of the officials to dispose of the
money according to their inclina-
tons.

ized 1t remains to be seen, how
ever, whether this new Jewish state
shall be free indeed or it's limited
independence be granted under the
form of British protectorate. Opin-
ion among the common people
everywhere favors an unrestricted
independence but it is possible that
the European Powers will not so
elect, and in that case Palestine
might become free in name only, with
special relation to Britain under the
pax britannica, or all the Entente ma
tons might exercise protectorate
over it. If the United States is ap-
preached for its opinion on Pal
estine, it is not questioned that it's
spokesman will counsel the granting
of absolute independence to Pal
estine, provided the new State in
corporates in it's Constitution a
clause declaring it's perpetual neu-
trality, in which event all the nations
signatory to the Peace Treaty would
become protecting Powers"

FORBID JEWS TO STUDY

The extremes to which the Austro-
Hungarian officials grow in their
persecution of the Jews of the En-

has just been issued forbidding the
study of the Bible in Hebrew. The
Zionist Organization of America has
received a copy of the decree issued
by the director Of the High Schools
of Cracow, Micolay Mazanovski,
which reads: II understand that
pupils of the High School of the
Jewish Confession gather together
by private teachers for the purpose
of studying the Bible and learning
Hebrew. I hereby order that this
is in future forbidden; all transgres-
sors will be punished and eventu-
ally expelled from the school"

In an article contributed by Bal
lin to the Vossiche Zeitung on De-
cember Is, 1916, he said:
'"The men who will some day be
entrusted with the duty of drawing
up the terms of peace will have as
their supreme task that of exter-
minating not only war itself, which
has destroyed whole generations,
but also the fever of armaments or
at least of restricting the latter with
in as narrow limits as possible in a
Europe which will remain exhaust
ed for decades. They must also de-
wise some sort of assurance that this
bloody war will not be followed by
an economic war, which would sep
arate the nations still further from
one another. Hence the demand
for the freedom of the seas once
more comes into prominence.
''It is true, certainly, that in time
of peace the seas were always free;
but in war, as we know today to
our cost, they are governed by the
strongest fleet. Means, therefore,
must and will be found of assuring
the freedom of mercantile traffic by
sea, not only in peace, but also in
war"
In an intercepted letter written by
BALM to Walter Rathenau, in De-
cember, 1917, Balm said:
"Our people have little or no
knowledge Of the American char
acter. You and I have made most
CAREFUL study of it. What stuff
Our publicists and journalists write
about their Mammon worship, their
greed, their envy of other nations,
their lack of discip1ine-Oh, that
blessed word discipline! You and
/ know that the Americans are
probably the most idealistic nation
on the earth's surface. We know
that they would not have entered
the lists of Our foes had they had
any doubt as to the justice of their
cause: Nonsense to say they have
been influenced by Britain
We are made not to see where we
are and whittier we are driving In

have done disastrous thing, a
thing which will throw it's cold
shadow on our economic life for
