Jewish Units and Palestine.

Mr. JOSHUA IL. 1NCuIiloiAAA SoAAoAASNSO
an article on the Jewish battalions and
the Palestine campaign. He describes
the organization Of special Jewish units
who contributed, above proportion to
their numbers, to the success of Allenby
in his conquest Of Palestine.
United States.
The task of describing the part played
by the Jews of America in the World
War is at present very arduous because
the records are not yet complete. The
American Jewish Committee, together
with the Jewish Welfare Board and 9th
er Jewish organizations, is collecting ma
terial relating to the Jews in various
branches of the American army. In
spite of the wealth Of material available
the time has not yet arrived for an ade-
quate, or even preliminary, historical
survey of the contribution Of the Amer
lean Jews to the winning Of the war.
All American war records are as yet far
behind those of the other nations who
had a longer period in which to organ
ize their historical material. When this
material is completed the records will
occupy several volumes which will be
published in the course of time. In the
present essay Mr.. Julian Leavitt, Direc-
tor of the Office of War Records Of the
American Jewish Committee, has linn
tied himself to consideration of GER
tain statistical data of immediate inter-
est. Mr.. Leavitt states that the records
thus far show 100000 Jews in the mill
tary and naval forces of the United
States and he assumes that on the basis
of certain calculations the total number
of Jews will be found to reach about
100000. Of the 100000 individual rec
ords some 114000 are classified in the
army, 1880 in the navy, 1900 in the
marine corps, and about II 900 in mis-
cellaneous branches of the service. Of
the 114,000 army records, 24,200 are
known to be in the infantry, 7,642 in the
artillery, 1884 in the medical corps, A.
558 in the signal and aviation corps,
2,496 in the engineer corps, 1929 in the
cavalry, 1885 in ordnance, and 1924 in
other branches. Of the 81 1892 remaining,
Mr.. Leavitt assumes the great majority
will probably be found later in the in
fantry. AS to rank, there are this far
recorded 1929 Jewish commissioned Off
GERS in the army, of whom 1872 are colo
nels, 80 observation-disclosures, $40 majors,
1901 captains and 1902 lieutenants. In
the navy there are recorded to date 433
commissioned officers, including one rear
admiral, and in the marine corps SO COM
missioned officers, including one briga-
dier-general. In the short period that
America was engaged in fighting the
Jews received numerous distinctions and
honors. Of such citations there are re-
corded some 600 to the credit of Amer
lean Jews, of which 378 were conferred
by the American command and the re-
mainder by Allied commands. Of the
rare Congressional Medal of Honor, the
highest distinction awarded by the
United States, the Jews have at least
