there the Oh magnate'S prayer was

DC. TROOPSLAUDED
BY RABBI SIMON
By Briggs

"A hearty and enthusiastic well
come was given the Rev. DR.. Abram
Simon, rabbi Of the Eighth Street
Temple, when he made his appssr-
ance before his congregation yester-
day morning for the first time since
his return from France on Saturday.
DR.. and Mrs. Simon were over
whelmed with flowers from tho Sun
day school and members and friends
Of the congregation. The formal well
come of Rabbi Simon by the con-
gregation will be held Friday night,
the fifteenth anniversary Of the rab-
bis coming to this city.
In speaking OF some of his expert
ences on the battlefield, Dr. Simon
said he wished to attest to the cour-
age, devotion, and splendid work of
the Seventy-ninth division. He said
there were no better soldiers any
where.
81 was with the Seventy-ninth in
the battle of Montfaucons, where
they met frightful losses, but made
any further drive on Paris impos-
sible. There were Washington boys
in the division, and want to say
of them that their friends have no
SduSC " lSel OtHcT Indn tnc great
est pride in them"
When he. reached his post on the
battlefront, near Vaux. DIR. Simon
said, he was assigned to a hospital
unit at Palemaux. Around the
place, on chairs and lying in the
grass, were wounded soldiers. About
midday a bochc observation plane
was seen circlins over the hospital.
Later, he said. German bombing
plane dropped a bomb upon the hos
pital, though IT carried on its roof a
Red Cross emblem. The bomb killed
many wounded men. nurses, and
physicians.
The work Of DR.. Simon was in the
home service division OF the Red
Cross, where he served as an inter-
mediary between the boys in the
field and their parents and friends.
He spent much of his time in search
ing for missing men. In several
instances he located men who had
been reported killed, but many. he
never found. DE-. Simon wrote let
ters home to friends of boys who
could not write. He was also instru-
mental in adjusting money matters
and was the bearer of many a mes
sage to a soldier boy who lost track
of his friends.
