Sacrifices For Country Many.


Sacrifices For Country Many.
But there are too many single
instances to draw upon which | feel
it may be best not to narrate in de-
tail lest you imagine my motive is
to single out the Jew Of Serbia for
especial commentator. [ am sure
that the Jews in the American Army
and in fact in all of the Armies of
the Allies will do the same. Not
alone have the young men in Serbia
done their share but the older men
and women have always been ready
to make sacrifices. Ben Zion BULL,
a leading banker of Belgrade, offer
ed the Government the half of his
fortune The Jews Of Serbia have
built Government Hospitals out of
their private funds and women have
given up their jewelry for patriotic
purposes. Z am glad to note during
my short stay here that the Jews
and Jewesses Of America are equally
loyal that they will continue to
prove their appreciation Of their
rights as American citizens and will
discharge their full responsibilities
both as Jews and Americans. The
loyalty of the Jews during the
Balkan wars was not alone COM
mented upon in the most fattering
terms, but was specially commended
by the King and Government. At
the outbreak of the present war the
government appointed many Jews
to serve on various commissions ap-
pointed for the development of our
country's cause.
Misery of Jewish Population.
The enactment of the present
world drama unhappily forms its
pretext in little Serbia. What has
followed every one knows and every
one regrets. Due to the invasion Of
the enemy, thousands Of our Jewish
people were forced to leave the coun-
try while the vast majority remained
there. 1t is difficult to say which
of the two Jared the worse, those
who departed or those who re-
NAMED.

nections between Serbia and the
mentioned countries were cut off,
they were compelled to walk for IS
days and more, through the wilder
ness of Albania, some parts of which
may be compared with the most un-
civilized portions Of Central Africa,
as far as total absence of roads goes.
Naturally many Of the people
who undertook this trip were not
able to reach their destination, for
they died on the way. Brothers and
near relatives, prompted by instinct
of self-preservation, or more likely,
stunned by their misfortunes, when
one of them fell on the march, COM
pletely exhausted, the other member
of the family would walk on, leav-
ing his nearest behind They had
no provisions and being unable to
find any, they were compelled to
nourish themselves by eating the
grass, roots and herbs that they
found. Even dead animals had to
be consumed by them. Here and
there they would come across native
brigands; if they were fortunate
enough to have gold about their
person, their lives were saved other
wise they invariably paid with their
lives. When they did reach other
parts, those who formerly had lived
very sumptuously, were compelled
to take up the scantiest quarters and
endure most severe privations.
Results of Enemy Invasion.
The destiny of those who remain
ed in Serbia can hardly be described.
Husbands and fathers were separ-
ated from their families and deported
to other parts. Personal property
was confscated. Fines were and
are being exacted at the least pro<
vocation and most of the time with
out reason. Such are the natural
results of an enemy's invasion.
But in our sorrow, and even
reduced to actual perjury, we have
this consolation. that we are not
only fighting for existence but for
world justice and for the Liberation
of Humanity. Had we been in the
wrong, America would not be on
our side. We have lost our cities
and our villages, we have sacrificed
our churches and synagogues. We
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1918-05-31

have not been able to perform the
burial rites of Our dear ones. But
in spite of all, in spite of our un-
paralleled sorrows and disasters, in
spite of Zeppelins and guns that
carry y or 172 miles, we have not
lost our courage, and with Gods
help and with the aid of the Powers
that are fighting their fight as we'll
as our fight, we see hope for hap
pier future; we see final victory.
President Wilson in all of his
statements and messages has ever
encouraged us in truly brother1y
manner. He has proved himself to
be not alone a man amongst men
but a father to suffering children
and women by directing the. Red
Cross to spare no pains in stamping
out hunger and disease, wherever
the American chapters could reach.
They do so without regard to creed.
Loyalty And Sacrifice Shown.
The sacrifices and the loyalty of
the Jew in Serbia are but reflex
of the readiness which the Jews in
all other countries invariably de-
mcnstrate: In England, for exam
pie, in the beginning of the war, it
is known fact that Lloyd George
acting then as Secretary to the
Treasury called upon the late Lord
Rothschild consulting with him as
to matters of special national war
finance. "Wherefrom are we to get
the vast sums required?' asked
Lloyd George, among other i'm
portant questions that he put to his
lordship. The simple reply of the
eminent Jew was, I'VE are paying
smaller taxes than any other peo-
pie considering the wonderful ad-
vantages we enjoy. If you were to
raise the tax $50 per cent you will
find that people will not grumble
but will gladly meet their obliga-
ton. I am ready right now to make
payment in accordance with the
scale suggested by me-" This little
episode is not taken from manu-
script but was narrated to me per-
sonally by the late Lord Rothschild
in a very simple and innocent man.
ner. The Jews of England followed
the example Of the Grand Old Lead
er and they did so by offering their
sons even before CONSUMPTION was
enacted to a percentage that was
more than in keeping with their
numbers,

CARD INDEX USED
 TO SHOW SOLDIERS
(Army and Navy Registerl

(Army and Navy Register)
 A most comprehensive card index system will be inaugurated by the war department following passage of the general deficiency appropriation bill supplying the necessary funds. Plans have practically been completed for the creation of the department of a statistical division" with a for eign branch in Paris. This division will keep a card index record of every soldier in the United States, whether on duty in this country or on the battlefields of Europe. Every man in the army, whether officer or private, will be indexed by name and the records filed in alphabetical order for immediate reference should the names appear either in army orders or casualty lists. With the descrip- tion of each soldier will be given the name of his next of kin with address. The once considered plan of giving each man in the national army a number has virtually been abandoned by the war department. It is now under stood the records will not be kept by numbers, nor will the soldiers en-

MOTOR SLOW CROWDS SEEK PRACTICAL

Tt is interesting 10 note the features people look for each year at the motor car shows throughout the country One year it is new designs, another year it is the engine, but this year the thing looked for is practical body con- struction.' said John Tainsh general sales manager of the Mitchell Motors company Inc, of Racine, Wis
 'I suppose it must be due to the fact that the war has made all of us look lo the finer details of everything we buy more closely. Heretofore there has not been much attention paid to the construction of the bodies on closed motor cars by those who intended to purchase one. It was taken as a mat ter of fact that the bodies were well made; and they were well made ac- cOrding to the best Knowledge of mak- Ing at the time. The demand for closed ears this season has revolutionized have had much difficulty with the paint checking and chipping off all the way around on the body.
 The crowds at the New York show and other shows this winter have been bubbling with interest and real en- thusiasm over the two piece construc- tion the Mitchell company uses on all their closed car bodies.
 The advantages of two piece con- struction can readily be seen by it's many advantages for long wear This design is the best known in high grade coach body buildings around the doors, under the windows and across the doors is all eliminated in this new method. Mitchell closed car bodies are made so that the upper panels are brought down with rolled edge, so that a salvage or wing is left on the edge and this is electrically spot welded to the lower panels all the way. around the body
 The motor enthusiasts at the shows quickly caught the advantages of this two piece construction. There is no chance for the paint to check. Water can not enter at any point and cause interior rust as in bodies built the old way. In the Mitchell construc- ton the metal panels of the cowl also
