British War Museum Official. Digs Up Some Interesting
 Information.
NEARLY ALL WEAR ANULETS
One Officer Carrying Charm Refuses te Reveal It's Nature for Fear of Bad Euck-Another Carries
 Piece of Coal.

London.-Certain interesting super stitions prevalent among British colo nial troops at the front are described ny Edward Loyett, an official of the Im- perial War museum at London, in the Morning Post. He says:
 Many of the superstitions held by British soldiers are also held by our troops from overseas and by men of the allied forces. One day I happened to meet an Australian soldier who wore the figure , on the collar of his tunic. This 5 is known on the continent as the Rentad. and in Belgium the Fifth regiment is considered to be the lucky regiment. The logic of the Pentad is as follows: Figure l stands for God, absolutely alone. Figure is the mind of God in operation as shown by the works of nature. Figure 3 represents man as the highest work of God. Tax ing, therefore, figure as being unique, the figures and 5, that is. Gods work in the hands of man, equal ,, and this [ is said to represent everything In this country we do not fully appreciate the meaning of the figure ].
 Lucky Australian Five.
 ITO come back 10 our Australian sol dier. He told me that he knew nothing of the Pentad, and he was rather in- elined to sheer it luck in general. But he told me that his company, which was the Fifth, was very lucky, and day after day the men had many narrow escapes from death or wounds. The company, in fact. had lost only 15 men out of 1S0, while the Second company had lost much larger proportion. He also told me that the No. f3 was con sidered by them a lucky number, and most of the men in the Fifth company. cautiously enough, had 13 i'll their regi- mental numbers, his own number be- ing 51327.
 "On one occasion, after featuring to some men from New Zealand and Aus tralia. was entertained for the night and put up in an officers hut. Before turning in l chatted over the subject of folklore and soldiers mascots with four officers. One of the officers told me that he carried a charm. and I said l would like to know what it was. II turned out to be simply q Swastika which was apparently new to him, and he was glad to hear more about it. The second officer took from his pocket a small cross of grotesque form, which he informed me, was his mascot. The third officer laughingly added, Well,

heretofore overlooked the facilities of the harbor of St. Thomas for provid- ing coal, fuel oil. and other stores.
 While few American steamers have been calling at St. Thomas for sup plies. many have called at the neigh boring British islands, where facilities are not considered as good as here. The price of coal is cheaper at St. Thomas than at the British islands.
 To bring this matter before the ship ping board and to obtain all the help l possible from the American people and l congress, a meeting of the inhabitants 1 of the Virgin island was held here. Resolutions were adopted calling the attention of the shipping board to the facilities of the port, such as pier 5000 feet long with thirty-one feet of water alongside and all up-to-date ap- pliances sor the quick dispatch of yes sels wanting coal. water, fuel oil and other stores.

They are of character you might expect from such a people, and consist largely of pigs, many of which, I regret to say, are grossly vulgar and offensive. An other German charm is small mode! of q fungus, which is of natural blood-red color.

JEWS IN SERBIA
 IN BAD PLIGHT

Jewish population of the city, formerly 5000, now numbers no more than 4,5o0. The number is being increased daily by returning refugees. Many men are still with the colors.
 Economically, the Serbian Jews Fhate suffered terribly. Because of the uncertain political situation, all regular commerce is impossible, and it is difficult for Jewish citizens to i'm prove their condition
 Have Suffered Terribly.
 "Such situation is unfortunate, for the war has brought us new duties. The Jews of old Serbia took q very active part in the Balkan wars and n the world war. The years of fight ing have deprived more than 400 fam flies of their bread winners. These l people have to be helped. In Bulgaria. according to q report from Miss Hetty Goldman of this city. the condition of the Jews is some what better than in Serbia. Poverty is not so widespread. nor are health conditions so bad.
 Bulgarian Jews are able to meet the needs of their own poor, but they have recently been confronted with a new responsibility. RoHmanian Jews are seeking refuge in Bulgaria, and their Bulgarian eo-religionists ire at T loss to know what to do with them. There is no work, even for skilled ar 1 tisans,
 "A soup kitchen is being run for tEese people of Sophia. but many are desperate. An allotment from our American Jewish relief fund must he made to care for them"
 In Roumania there is need of cloth. | ing and staple foods. Ii was Miss 1 Goldman who made the investigation i'll this country also.

 "The second greatest need is for staple foods, such as dry beans, pens, rice. vegetables, fats and tho like. Such supplies as are to he had are sold at exorbitant prices.
 q was painfully impressed by the number of sick in Roumania. In Bu- 1 charest, out of a Jewish population of 45.000 there was an average of eight i funerals a day last winter \ large percentage of typhus cases in Bucha- rest and JaSsy have been among Jews. ]"
 Machinery fer the effective distribu- ton of relief in the Balkan countries is in operation. More than S200 GOO worth of supplies. including several tons of kosher meat. was sent from New York late in July to Constanza, Roumania. The American Jewish re- lief committee, under the chairman ship of Louis Marshall plans to con tinue regular shipments of this kind to the Balkans and to Poland, Gaicia, Czecho-Sloyaka, and the other coun- tries.
 For this purpose a fund of $35. .O00.- 000 is being sought in the United States this year.

one OF the most striking traits in the
Rumanian people is their sense of
pride. With all the misery and pow
erty of the poor, they never beg.
Ihey are always content with what
the Americans give them.
At the distribution centers there
is never complaint, protest or clanor.
The Rumanians are always grateful
for what they get. however little 1t
may be. Probably no people on earth
endure hunger and suffering with
