nothing more today than an instru-

rebuilding of his people in his and

all Jewry hopes to serve Mother Zion

ABRAHAM KROTOSHINSKY, WHO
SAVED THE LOST BATTAL-
LION" ADMITTED TO N.
F. s.

Abraham Krotinshinsky, the young
soldier who saved "The Lost Battal-
lion" when it was completely sur
rounded in the Argonne Forest, is now
student of The National Farm
School.
Abraham KrotoShinsky was a pri-
vate in Company X, Of the 307th In
fantry, when his battalion was sur
rounded in the Argonne Forest. Run
ner after runner was sent out-all
volunteers-to get through the enc
mics lines to bring relief. Every man
was target as soon as he went over
the top. Krotoshinsky went out in full
view of the enemy, and saved "The
Lost Battalion" In striking editor
ial, which recently appeared in the
New York Times, KrotoNhinsky is
spoken Of as the "Bravest Of the
brave" and Ex-Governor Martin
Glynn, of New York referred to the
boy in even more glowing terms in a
vigorous editorial which appeared in
"The Albany Times" the governors
paper. Part Of Governor Glynn's trib-
ute follows:
an that war for democracy 100000
Jewish lads from the United States
fought beneath the Stars and Stripes.
In the nth Division alone there were
$4,000 of them, and in the Argonne
Forest this division captured 81 Ger
man guns This shows that, at Ar
gonne, Jewish boys from the United
States fought for democracy, as JOSH
ua fought against the Amalekites on
the plains of Abraham. In an address
on the so-called Lost Battalion" led
by Colonel Whittlesey Of Pittsfeld,
Major General Alexander shows the
fighting stuff these Jewish boys were
made Of. In some way or another
Whittlesey's command was surround
ed. They were short Of rations. They
tried to get word back to the rear
telling of their plight. They tried and
they tried, but their men never got
through. Paralsis and stupefication
and despair were in the air And when
the hour was darkest and all seemed
lost, soldier lad stepped forward, and
said to Col. Whittlsey: 81 will try to
get through" ale tried, he was
wounded, he had to creep and crawl,
but he got through. Today he wears
the DISTINGUISHED SERVICE
CROSS, and his name is ABRAHAM
KR0T0SHINSKY."
This young man, who was barber
by trade, desiring to continue the out
door life which the army afforded, has
chosen scientific and practical agricul-
ture as his future profession, and has
applied for admiosion to The National
Farm School.
The Board Of the National Farm
School, considering the extraordinary
circumstances surrounding the case,
could do not less than waive the age
Of admission DC to 20 years) and help
him to attain his laudable ambition.

to come when the Jews could stand
erect. But some American Jews say
that surely in America we Jews can
stand erect. Not 1! For l hold my

massacred from day to day, and I tell

Jew can stand with head erect until
all Jews can stand with head erect.
81 tell you the day will never come
on which Jews all can stand with head
erect until there be land, THE land,
the land Of lands, where Jews will be
hosts, not guests; where Jews will
rejoice to mete out the hospitality
which the world, to its own infinite
loss of soul, has too often withheld
from the Jew.
