might converse with and assist the
Americans. They tell Of concerts ar
ranged for them by the Red Mogen
Dovid of Palestine, of the longings
Of the boys, who still remained, for
recreation rooms, and canteens where
they might receive papers and maya
zines, cigarettes and other comforts
that seem almost necessities to the
boy away from home.
One lad, perhaps, needed just a
"loan" for a civilian suit. Another
lacked the transportation to his home
out West. And several needed jobs.
For while the American soldier may
avail himself of the employment SER
vice Of the government and the en-
ployment bureaus of the Knights of
Columbut, the Red Cross and other
agencies, the legionnaire can find en-
ployment assistance and advice no
where but in the offices Of the Red
Mogen Dovid.
It is somewhat significant that
while all about them the hustle Of the
Legionnaires' Campaign goes on,
these young men should be there in
actual presence to lend their presence
as the personification Of the appeal.
Then, too, there are mothers and
fathers and wives, coming for infor-
nation and assistance. "My son was
with the 39th. Maybe you saw him 2"
A mother TREMENDOUSLY asks one of the
legionnaires. Her voice expresses all
Of her loneliness and longing, and
pride too. And when the returned
hero tells how he saw the boy, just
six weeks before, how they sat to-
gether and talked of homeland Of
Zion, the mothers eyes grow tender
and happy, for her son is nearer to
her than he has eben for many
months. When the legionnaire de-
scribes the picturesque details Of
guard duty in Palestine, she grows
grave and stern with the weight Of
her sons responsibilities. "He is so
young, so small, so thin. / cannot
even see how he could carry the gum"
she says, and the legionnaire makes
her beam with pride when he tells her
of her boys newly acquired physical
prowess.
There is a father, wrinkled and old,
who has come for assistance. Il
pawned my watch and my boys
watch. / pawned everything but did
not want to come before you to ask
you for help, because l knew the Red
Mogen Dovid did not have much mon
ey and others needed it more than l."
he says. And he tells how their rent
had been doubled, and how sickness
and unemployment had made them
destitute.
There is an excited young wife and
child who have come to make arrange
ments to join the legionnaires in Pal
estine,-for it is the policy Of the Red
Mogen Dovid to encourage the legion
naires to make their homes in Pal
estine, and to reunite them with their
families.

POST WAR SERVICE OF THE RED
MOGEN DOVID.

Ninety Jewish warriors returned
from battle just the other day-ruddy
and tanned from the sun of Palestine
and the Mediterranean Sea. They
had Travelled afar off, had risked their
lives on the fields of the Homeland
and fought beneath her blue skies.
Some of them brought back scars re-
ceived while fighting in the first
Jewish battle units since Biblical
times. They had been away for a
year, and had crossed six thousand
miles of land and sea.
And so it happened that those who
had the honor of bidding them God
speed were the first to greet them on
their return. They were met at the
pier at Hoboken by fifty young wom-
en- of the American Red Mogen
Dovid, with refreshments and COM
forts. Before they sailed from st.
Johns, more than year ago, the Red
Mogen Dovid had brought them lunch
boxes, comfort kits-had gratified
every need from a Sefer Torah to
shaving outfit. All through their
stay in Palestine, they had found in
the Red Mogen Dovid an unfailing
source of kindness, and their families
in this country had come to regard
it as the sole link that bound them to
their soldier-idealist sons. There
fore, it was particularly fitting that
the Red Mogen Dovid should greet
them on their return-and thereby
prove, altho the fighting and cheer
ing were over, the Red Mogen was
still ION the job" to render genuine
service whenever and wherever need
ed.
The Red Mogen Dovid.
"Busy as ever" is the message that
comes from the headquarters Of the
Red Mogen Dovid at POI Second
Avenue, New York City. These are
new headquarters into which the or
ganization moved about two months
ago, when the enlargement of its
scope of work made this imperative.
And as if proof were necessary of the
statement that the Red Mogen Dovid
is on the job, has come the announce
ment that the organization is now
conducting a 100000 Legionnaires'
Emergency Campaign to provide the
wherewithal to maintain canteens and
recreation rooms in Palestine, to en-
terrain and assist legionnaires return
ing overseas, to meet the increased
living cost and its consequent increase
in the needs of destitute families Of
legionnaires, and wherever possible
to re-unite legionnaires with their
families in Palestine. Looking lit
tie beyond these immediate after-the-
war needs, the Red Mogen Dovid is
laying its plans for reconstructive
work in Palestine and eastern Eu-
rope. 1t has packed and prepared for
shipment fifty cases Of sterilized
winter garments for the men, wom-
en-, and children of Palestine. It has
outfitted an ambulance for service in
the Holy Land and is organizing q
school for the training Of nurses and
midwives for service in any country
where there is need of their services.
The headquarters Of the Red Mogen
Dovid present an interesting aspect
these days. There are plenty Of
legionaires there, with stories to tell
of long, hot marches over the sands,

NEED FOR WOODEN SHIPS.
rive Years of Building Needed to
OHset Losses in War.

BANGOR, Me. Feb. S---While Maine
fSiHyards and some yards in the South
and on the Pacific coast have turned out
II the last two years more wooden sail
l7g vessels than in any like period since
$500. the aggregate of wooden and all
ulil tonnage under the American flag is
ruch less to-day than when the United
States entered the war against Germany.
sHd at the present rate of building Il
W., require another two years to make
good losses from war and other causes,
ct least so far as the North Atlantic
coast is concerned.
From the entrance Of the United States
into the war TO the signing of the armis-
tee Afty-one sailing vessels. aggregating
f.il7 tons, were sunk by submarines or
r'nes or otherwise destroyed. In the
siUe period at least 10000 tons of
American wooden sailing shipping was
ID for foreign account, and these
tolls, with fair allowance for losses. In
t!cate a loss Of at least 100000 tons In
~. two years from the American sailing
registry. To offset this Maine last year
launched twenty-s!X schooners OF 23,436
tons, and In 1917 there were sent over
board seventeen schooners OF 12.2s1 tons,
total for the two years OF 35.727 tons.
While Southern and Pacific yards have

vessels N the last two years II IL doubt

SOME APPALLING FIGURES
ON THE COST OF THE WAX

"The figures presented in this sum
mary are both incomprehensibie ana
appalling, yet even these do not take
into account the effect Of the war on
life, human vitality, economic we'll
being. ethics, morality or other phases
of human relationship and activities
which have been disorganized and IN
iured. II is evident from the pres
ent disturbances in Europe that the
real costs of the war cannot be meas
ured by the direct money OUTLAWS OF
the belligerents during the five years
Of hs duration. but that the very
break down Of modern economic so
Getty might be the price exacted.'
SO runs the summing up Of 33s-
page volume from the Carnegie En-
dowment for international Peace,
which presents an approximate idea
of the direct cost Of the world war,
but which confesses the utter inabil-
ity Of its author to envisage or estl-
mate the tremendous collateral loss
es that humanity has borne, growing
out of this great conflict. The auth
or is Ernest L. Bogert and he has
gone back to all modern wars, from
those Of the Napoleonic area to the
Balkan wars that sowed the germ Of
the recent conflict. The loss of life
in all those wars was 4,449,30O; the
estimated dead Of the five years from
1914 TO 1918 he places at the stag
gering total of 9,99S,77l.
Mr. Bogert puts an arbitrary mon
etsfy value on each human unit Of
the different races involved in the
war. The highest value he gives TO
Americans, at s4,720 each; English
next at S4,t4O; Germany third at
S3,3sO; France and Belgium $4,000 ;
Austria Hungary s2.720; Russia, tia

iionals at $1,000 each. 2 Figuring on

Paris, June 9.-The movement to

avoid the possibility OF the formation
of another group composed of rival
powers, which would embrace Ger
many, Russia and the old Teutonic
group.
Evidences have reached conference
leaders that influences are at work
in Germany and Russia to establish
relations as basis for combination
of power not in the league. While not
regarded as imminent. it was felt the
danger of such combination would be
always present while Germany was
outside the league; and the admission
of Germany, therefore, was recon
mended as a means of subjecting hel
to the same obligations as the allie.
