Jewish blood, too, may be shed in its
cause as the price Of freedom, the
young Jews Of the United States are

Tar in excess Of anything imagined.
Hundreds Of young Jews have been
recruited in the various local depots
Of the British and Canadian Recruit
ing Mission throughout the United
States for Jewish units in the British
Army for service in Palestine.
The first recruit secured for these
Jewish units was Joseph l. Cohen,
Of New York City, graduate of
Cambridge University of England,
and Fellow of Columbia Univer-

sity, New York. He was a member
of the first contingent of $50 which
left Boston for war service not long
ago.
An odd feature of the swearing in
of recruits for the Jewish units was
the fact that they were permitted to
wear their hats, according to Jewish
custom in ceremonial affairs, and
when in the army they will not be
forced to forego the practices and
observances Of their faith. They are
enlisting exclusively for service in
the Holy Land, and will carry the
Flag of David.
So enthusiastic have the young
Jews become over this opportunity to
fight for their own cause that many
who have been turned down for en-
listment because Of physical disabil-
ity, have demanded that they be re-
examined at once. The bulk of the
volunteers are English or Russian

The enthusiasm concerning this
movement has not been limited to
the young Jews, but in certain cities
older Jews who are unable to fight
have offered to supply funds to help
take care Of the dependents of the
fighting men.
Since Gen. Allenby captured Jeru-

high price, has given US our word,

ed originally a secret society in Per.
sia, relates London Chronicle, in the
eleventh century, members of which
were under a vow of blind obedience
TO their chief. They were called upon
TO perpetrate the most atrocious deeds,
and before these ruffians were sent
out to perform their grewsome tasks
they were given hashish. by which
they were thrown into a kind Of &C
stasy or intoxication. Hence they were
called "Hashishin," meaning hemp
eaters. The word became part Of
Western languages. but was changed
into "assassins."

There is probably no country in the
world where the use Of walking sticks
Is so general as in the United King

In the cities.
The winter months are always rainy

The Comforter
BY F. A. mitchell
a Story Of President Lincoln
Founded on Fact

When the great struggle between

years old, was at school in Virginia.
He was a boy Of delicate physique. but
was full Of fire, and. hearing that
Abraham Lincoln was coming south
ward at the head OF an armed force.
was much troubled because he was too
young to shoulder a musket and re-
during those exciting times to attend
TO his studies. and had it not been for
the influence of his mother. whom
he dearly loved. he could not have
been kept at school at all.
In those days the passion attending
war ran high on both sides. The
songs, the gibes. the speeches and
what was written concerning the great
struggle were very bitter and usually
far from the truth. In the North IL
was "We1l hang JEFF Davis on a sour
apple tree" and in the South Presi-
dent Lincoln was called 1.-THE babOon."
The Northern schoolboy conceived the
idea that President Davis was an ogre
not realizing that he was an educated
gentleman. had commanded a regiment
Of United States troops in the war
with Mexico. had been q United States
senator and secretary Of war. The
Southern schoOlboy considered Presi-
dent Lincoln q wild man from the
Western woods who delighted In blood
shed. Children whose minds are not
developed must concentrate upon one
head in any movement In which they
are interested. So Allan's thoughts
dwelt upon Mr.. Lincoln. embOdying
the great president with his idea Of
the hated yankees"
When Allan was fifteen he begged
his mother to let him go To fight for
the Confederacy. Naturally she chung
to her son. and the matter was com
promised between them In this wise:
II the war was not over in another
year Allan was to enlist with his moth
er's consent. Many boys Of his age,
both in the North and In the South,
broke away from parental restraint
and enlisted without permission. Food
for powder was In demand. and the
recruiting officers often winked at the
fact that the recruits were under age.
But Allan was his mothers only child.
and, being Of an extremely affection
ate disposition, the bond between them
was doubly strong.
SO Allan continued at his studies.
though he read more about the battles
that were being fought than the sub
Sects treated In his textbooks. He
lived In Richmond, and At one time
had listened to the roar Of the cannon
during the seven days battles that had
been fought between Lee and McClel-
Ian. HIS admiratiou for soldiers wore
away some Of his bitterness against
