Magnesium, Making In America

Magnesium Making in America
Magnesium. the lightest OF commercial
metals. was little known and little
used in this country before the out
break of the war in 1914.
The withdrawal Of the German prod
uct from the market necessited the
development Of its manufacture In this
country TO supply the existing de-
mands. Allied purchases in the United
States and our own entrance into the
wal have stimulated the production to
marked degree. On account OF it's use
for flares and Illuminating bombs OF
all kinds. Government bulletins show
an increase in production in the United
States from 75.400 pounds in 1916 to
l15.S00 pounds in 1917. and TO ll6,93S
pounds in the first six months in 1918.
Magnesium is common element in
many minerals occurring in America
so that it's production. like that Of al
Iminum. can he increased to meet al.
most an, demand. All that is Eeces-
sary Is tC develop our water power. as
cheap power is essential to the produc-
tinn or this metal.

MURDERS IN RUSSIA.

Petrograd (by ]. CO. Crime has
become daily occurrence in Russia.
Hitherto the murder of entire fami-
lies was announced in special edi-
tions of the newspapers; now not an
item is given them, SO great is the
number of such happenings. Here
is an illustration from the city Of
Zaratzin: Lately and within short
time no less than 10 families were
murdered; five families in the last
week alone. All of these crimes we're
committed in the heart of the city,
some even in broad daylight. Neigh
bors were aware what is going on,
but no one had the courage to inter-
fere with the armed murderers.

their lives, valiantly carried the
weapons of city and state to victory
The most telling truth of Jewish
heroism is, however, to be found in
American history. Here we find
Isaac Meyers of New York organ
izing a company of soldiers during
the French and Indian war of 1854.
In the revolutionary war, out of a
population Of scarcely over two
thousand Jews, more than fifty sol
diers, half of that number, as Isaac
and David Franks, BEN amin Nones,
de la Motta, de Leon, Russell, Bush,
Ezekiel, Sampson, Asher and Ma
thaniel Levy, Aaron, Isaac and Is
rael, Benjamin, Hays, Etting,
Bloomfield, and Moses, serving as
officers, distinguished themselves
upon the battlefelds. In the war Of
1872 the number of Jewish soldiers
was still larger and the names Of
,lllC VI ave O1llSClS, linz DlOOlllllSlN,
Meyers, Noah, Moses, Touro, Mertz
and Gratz, were indelibly inscribed
on the roll of honor. The number
of Jews who participated in the
Mexican war was far above the
proportion of the Jewish population,
and the heroism> displayed by the
officers and privates, as David de
Leon, later surgeongeneral Of the
Confederate army Albert Levy, Al
fred Mordecai, Dyer, Davis, Seelig-
son, Hirschhorn, left a record sell
dom equaled and never excelled in
the history of valor and loyalty.
All in all, though the mission of
Israel in the world is Peace, he has
gallantly done his duty, as he is now
to fight and give his blood for prin-
ciples of liberty and human progress.
The American Jewish world., 1918-02-08

With 81 900 Jewish soldiers in the
American army at the present time
and many in the American navy,
an interest in the past record of the
Jew as warrior and a fighting man
is natural.
The past is filled with records of
Jewish bravery and valor from the
Scriptures to the newspapers of the
present day.
Many people have an idea that
we should look in vain for Jewish
achievement in the armies and
navies of today. Many imagine that
Jewish bravery on the battlefield
and Jewish valor in war belong to
those times to which all good things
are relegated-the faroff past. They
know of the strategies of Moses and
Joshua. They read of the military
array under David and Solomon.
They have heard Of the marvellous
heroism of the Maccabees. But
then, they think, there is an hiatus
in the manuscript. Then, they
imagine, physical courage ceased.
They do not know that Alexander
the Great and Ptolomy l. counted
the Jews among their bravest SOL
diers. They have probably not read
of the Jewish generals who were
the power behind the throne of Cle-
opatra, nor of the fifteen hundred
Jewish soldiers that won the high
est esteem of Julius Caesar, nor of
the five Jewish cohorts, whose brav-
cry and loyalty merited the unqual-
flied praise of Mark Anthony. They
have never heard, perhaps, OF the
twelve thousand Jewish warriors
who valiantly defended the city of
Caesarea and allowed themselves to
be slain rather than surrender. Nor
have they ever been told the thrill
ing events in the wars of Arabia,
where we find the Samuel lbn
Adiyas, the Dhu Nowas, the heroes
of Khaibar, Khorasan and Tehama.
The truth of the matter is, how
ever, that at no time did the Jew
hesitate to take up arms in defense
of the country in which he lived.
Although, with passivity border
ing on cowardice, he often bore in

JEWISH FIGHTING MEN
By DR.. Mendel Silber.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMWMWMwMMMMMwM
dignities and insults on his own be-
half, his country he would never
suffer to be molested without fear
less resentment. And whenever he
was not tied hand and foot by
step-fatherly sovereign he fought
lion-like for the safety of his father
land. Thus, when in the sixth CEN
tury the city of Naples was besieged
by Justinian, the Jewish inhabitants
not only supplied the city with all
necessaries, but defended the sea
entrance SO bravely that the attack
was withdrawn from that quarter.
In the same century the Jews of
Aries defended the city against the
invasion of Theodore. Childeric
was heroica1ly assisted by Jews in
his war against Wanda. The Moors
entrusted their conquered cities in
Spain to the guardianship Of Jews.
Under King Alfonso vi. of CASTLE
there were no less than forty thou
sand Jews in the army, while under
Alfonso X. it was through Jewish
warriors chiefly that the city of
Seville was captured.
This account of Jewish bravery
and loyalty, evidence of which IS
given in the annals of Southern
Europe and Spain, comedies COM
pletely with the records Of Jewish
heroism to be found in the events
of every other country and age. 1t
is to be found in the history of
Worms, where the Jews defended
King Henry w.; it is recorded in
the history of Prague, which was
defended by the Jews against the
Swedes at one time and against the
French, under the direction of the
renowned rabbi, Jonathan Eiben-
schuetz at another time. 1t may be
read in the Bohemian wars with the
Slavs, in the naval battles between
the British and the Dutch, in the
defense of the Brazilian fort Reclfe
under the leadership of Rabbi Isaac
Aboab in the repeated attacks upon
Surinam; in the touching expert
ence of the general, David Nasi, in
the war records of Poland, Lithu-
ania and the Ukraine, where Jewish
volunteers, at the peril and price Of
