100000 JEWS IN YANK ARMY
Comprised From to Per Gent OF
Total Personnel of American
Forces.

New York-The number Of Jews In
the military and naval service during
the war was between 10000 and 2OO,-
900, or from A to per cent of the
total personnel of the American forces
at the time the armistice was signed,
according to "The War Record OF
American Jews" issued by the Ameri-
can Jewish committee.
1t was pointed out that the Jews
compose about 8 per cent of the total
population, so that the proportion of
Jews in the service was about 90 per
cent greater than the proportion of
Jews in the total population.
Complete casualty records have not
been obtained, but the committee es-

Liberty for Children.

A recent Italian educator has de.
clared that unnecessary restriction in
child's life is crime. There must
be rules, Of course, and children must
learn to obey, but much friction can
be eliminated by avoiding unnecessary
commands. There should be few rules
but these should be firmly ad.
hered to. 1t is infinitely better not ia
give a command than to let a child
evade it. The habit of teasing for a
thing will never develop if this course
is faithfully followed.

Triumph.

City Left in ShockingIy Dirty condi.
ton by the BuIgars-Few Young
Men in Place-TubercuIosis

Belgrade-In Belgrade, capital Of
the new Kingdom of the Serbs Croats
and Slovenes, everybody is flushed
with triumph, confident of the future,
and regards present troubles only as
temporary inconvenience.
But Belgrade was left in shocking
ly dirty condition by the Bu1gars. The
courtyards of the houses are filed
with refuse. There is no collection
of garbage because there are no con-
| veyances in which to collect it. The
shortage of water emphasizes the dan
ger. All the doctors, sanitary authori-
ties and officials are holding their
breath, fearing ain epidemic of some
sort.
If the Danube freezes (and it nearly
always does freeze the communica-
ton of Belgrade with the outside
world will be still further enormously
decreased. The possibility of bring.
ing food and wood up the river will
be removed, and the present very mod.
crate resources further enormously de-
pleted.
Run One Train Daily.
There will remain practically only
the one line of railway, that to Fiume,
through what was Austria but is now
a part of the new kingdom of the
Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. On ac-
count of lack of fuel one train day
is operating on this line.
Belgrade is practically cut off from
the interior of Serbia because of de-
struction of the railways and the
shocking condition of the roads. There
are practically no young men in the
city. These who were within two or
three years of the military age left
with the army in the winter of 1916
16.
They set out to make the retreat
down through Serbia and, as it proved,
over the mountains into Albania and
thence to Corfu. Something like one
in seven survived the trip.
There are practically no children
under three in Belgrade or elsewhere
In Serbia, for that matter. Midwives
have been in the unemployed class
for the last three years and will be
for a year to come, for the Serbian
army, what remains of it, is now in
the occupied part of what was Aus
ria-HHngary. ST.
tuberculosis Sweeps Land.
For no obvious reason, tuberculosis
is the king of terrors in Belgrade.
A tuberculosis death rate of $50 per
100000 is very exceptionally high in
America. Before the war the tuber-
culosis death rate in Belgrade reached
712, and during the Austrian occupa-
tion it reached the unheard-of figure of
1,453.
Before the war Belgrade ap-
preached hundred thousand in popu-
lation. When the Austrians took it,
there were 10000. Another 10000
soon came back. At the present time
perhaps its population may be 10000
or $4,000. Some of the shops are open,
but nobody seems to be buying any,
thing except where food is sold.
The only autos going about the
streets are those of the military and
few of the high government officials.
These are used very sparingly, for
gasoline is almost understandable. The
water supply comes from wells and
has to be distributed by a pumping
station.
There are practically no autos. no

From thar time the question Of n

Prince Leopold's group under the

But a wholesale change--such as war

was required. and that meant that the

have TO take over the command of
the whole eastern front from the Gulf
Of Riga 10 the Carpathians.

We rcckoned on a continuation Of

German divisions with the Austro-

Later In May fresh attacks from the
