SIMON WOLF LAUDS
JEWS PART IN WAR

A speech BY Simon woIK, or this
city, made in Boston, during the bien-
NAL convention Of the Union of
American Hebrew Congregations on
May 81. has been published in pamph-,
let form for use in Hebrew religious
circles in this country. -.- ,-
Mr.. Wolf, who was introduced as
the grand old man OF American
Israel told OF the change wrought
in the population OF citizens OF Jew
ish faith in New England during the
past fifty years. He stated that i'm
migration Of a wholesome character
had given new life and color to the
Jewish citizens and that the cogmo-
politan character OF Boston and New
York had made a deep impression On
the American Jew.
AmerieanIze Natives
There is much talk about Amer
icanizing Aliens" said Mr.. Wolf. why
not the natives? When civil war men
aced the Union, natives threatened
to destroy. and. il was the alien who
helped TO save. And the civil war
virtually made the world war vic
tory a possibility, for had the South
triumphed. We would have been a
Mexicanized country. and there would
have been no United States to aid In
the great world struggle for democ-
racy
Scan the casualty lists caused by
the world war and you will find more
than half foreign names, and all Of
them patriotic Americans The immi
grafton laws restrict illiterates, and
yet it is the Drawn aud brain that
have enriched the republic.
"Disbar the mouthing. rantfng an
archists, those who can speak seven
languages and are patriotic, IN none"
Bravery of JeWA
He cited the bravery and loyalty
of the Jews as proved by the New
York Jews G0n the East Side, who
took a glorious part in the Lost
Battalion" OF the Argonne and in
the Fighting SeEenty-sevenths New
York regiment.
I'VE have no. fear as to the future"
he said. The Russian terror, out
come of centuries Of outrages and
prosecutions, will never find a. home
here. A republic OF freemen. equal,
knows how to safeguard the priceless
legacy OF freedom ,bequeathed by
Washington, preserved by Lincoln,
and to be maintained by Wilson"
