While few American steamers have

London.-Certain interesting super
stitions prevalent among British colo
hal troops at the front are described by
Edward Lovett, an official of the I'm
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 1 happened
to meet an Australian soldier who wore
the figure 5 on the collar of his tunic.
This 5 is known on the continent as
the Pentad, 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 2 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 l as being unique,
the figures 2 and 8, that is, Gods work
in the hands of man, equal 5, and this
5 is said to represent everything. In
this country we do not fully appreciate
the meaning of the figure 5.
Lucky Australian Five.
ITO come back to our Australian sol
der. He told me that he knew nothing
of the Pentad, and he was rather in
clined to sheer at 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 Is men
out of $50, while the Second company
had lost a much larger proportion. He
also told me that the No. Is was con-
sidered by them a lucky number, and
most Of the men in the Fifth company,
curiously enough, had 10 in their regi-
mental numbers, his own number be-
ing 1897.
ION n occasion, after lecturing to
some men from New Zealand and Aus
tralia, l was entertained for the night
and put up in an officers hut. Before
turning in / 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
I would like to know what it was. 1t
turned out to be simply a 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, swell.

to the wearers by their mothers or sis

any definite logical meaning.

IN SERBIA
IN BAD PLIGHT

Jewish population of the city, formerly
5000, now numbers no more than $500.
The number is being increased daily
by returning refugees. Many men are
still with the colors.
Economically, the Serbian Jews
have suffered terribly. Because Of
the uncertain political situation, all
regular commerce is impossible, and 1t
is difficult for Jewish citizens to i'm
prove their condition.
Have Suffered Terribly.
Such a situation is unfortunate, for
the war has brought us new duties.
The Jews Of old Serbia took a very
active part in the Balkan wars and
In the world war. The years of fight
ing have deprived more than 400 fam
lilies Of their bread winners. These
people have to be helped.
In Bulgaria, according to a 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. Roumanian Jews
are seeking refuge in Bulgaria, and
their Bulgarian co.religionists are at a
loss to know what to do with them.
There is no work, even for skilled ar
tisans.
"A soup kitchen is being run for
these people of Sophia, but many are
desperate. An allotment from our
American Jewish relief fund must be
made to care for them"
In Roumania there is need of cloth
ing and staple foods. 1t was Miss
Goldman who made the investigation
in this country also.
Clothing Greatest Need.
"The people needed clothing above
everything else" her report reads
almost everybody is shabby, and a
large percentage of the poor are prac
tically without clothing. I went into
many homes where the inmates had on
mere rags or were huddled in torn
blankets of sacking.
"The second greatest need is fol
staple foods, such as dry beans, peas
rice, vegetables, fats and the like
Such supplies as r to be had are sole
