PARIS, March 2.-"Forty million Rus

in an effort to save Russia from com

Russia, which finally will resume
her place among the important ma

Dr.. Stephen S. Wise Denies
Jews Are Prominent Among
BoIshevik Leaders in Russia

The general subject of Jewish
commonwealth in Palestine was dis
cussed at a mass meeting held last
night in the Central High School au-
ditorium. at which Judge Julian w.
Mack of Chicago and DR.. Stephen S.
Wise of New York spoke.
In the course of his address DR.. Wisa
vehemently denied statements recent
ly made by witnesses before the Sen
ate propaganda committee that there
were many Jews among the boishevik
leaders of Russia, and that bolSheyism
Was generally supported by the Jews
of that country. He said he believed
there was not single orthodox Jew
connected with the bolshevik regime,
and that 95 per cent of the Jews of
Russia were opposed to it.
Referring to an unpublished document
placed in the records of the Senate
committee. which, he said he under
stood purported to be list of Jews
in India, Russia and elsewhere who
were used as agents by the German
government to stir UP social unrest in
those countries, DIR. Wise declared in
formation in the document was erron-
eous- He described its author as
either a madman or a foul and
loathsome knave."

Charge Specifically Denied.

Chaplain Ayers makes specific de-

buried without religious services and
dumped into the ground, and their
collins taken back to the hospital TO
be used again.

baum. Naturally ! offered to help The

on trucks, the only available means
of transportation, and at the time
when the influenza ragged most ter
ribly there was not a coffin to be had
in that whole district, nor the lum-

ly necessary for the Army to face the
prospect of burials without easkets.
There was no other way. That very

Brest district awaited burial. They

Things have reached such a condi

combating this evil. In order for any
campaign against automobile thievery
to be success, the automobile owner

American Cars Praised
BY General Cronkhite
Army Leader Says His Motor
Travelled Thousands of
Miles Without Mishan

Authentic information is now COM
ing out about the service rendered at
the front by American motor cars.
Major General Cronkhite, Z. S. A., upon
his return from abroad, writes the
Winton Company:
1t may be a matter Of satisfaction
to you to know that l drove one of your
closed cars throughout my period of
service in the American area in France.
with a mileage total of over $4,000;
and that throughout this entire period

The service rendered covered the
rest areas as we'll as areas in advance.
as far as motor car could be utilized;
and included as we'll, service in Bel
GUM, France, Germany Luxembourg.
Italy, Alsace and Lorraine"
Much was printeo during the war
about the work done by American
trucks, but not much was said about
the limousines which Uncle Sam pro-
vided for the men who directed the
army operations on the other side.
Llmousines wer supplied not only to
insure rapid transportation and some
degree Of comfort, but also to serve as
citces, housing maps, equipment and
supplies that might be required at any
moment When possible. an open car
followed the limousine, so that should
an accident happen to the Limousine,
the general would not be left stranded.
