A WAR STORY
By E. C. ENRICH

John passed away at midnight-thar
young Cohen ought to have a Jewish
minister with him, a priest Of his own
church, just as John had had. The nurse
told me the boy was very low-it was
ious good deal of the time, but he had
rare intervals when he was painfully lu-
cid and talked Of home and other things
which might have interested rabbi had
he been there-bar mitzvah, l think he
called it, going to cheder, and all that.
Kept telling the nurse that he came
from "real Jewish home" and his folks
would take it hard if he died 'like
goy." So she asked me to come over and
talk to him.
Young Cohen was polite to me, but he
wasn't interested. Said he knew we
didn't have Jewish chaplain in our divi-
sion and that it was all right and that
dying. 'Shemah Yisroel. Hear, 0 Israel,
there wasn't anything could do fol
him. And then he turned his head or

caused his death had blinded him, too?
I kept thinking Of his bandaged eyes

little sleep. But I couldn't. Father had
been so fond of old Mr.. jacobson that
felt I ought to do just little more
than my duty for that young Jew, who
wouldn't last another day. didn't want
him to pass on feeling all alone. So
well, you're going to tell me whether !
did the right thing or not, aren't you?
I'd met one Of the Jewish Welfare
workers in Paris, and he'd given me the
little khaki prayer book your people had
distributed to the Jewish soldiers I
had it with me, along with one from a
Catholic priest-in case I'd be in pinch,
you know. And I knew just what to
learn; for once when my father and old
Mr.. Jacobson had been having one Of
their good-natured arguments over re-
ligion Mr.. Jacobson had said:
you'll never convert me- Foster, till
you cut your religion down to- one God.
That's the cornerstone of ours, and as
soon as we Jews learn. to talk we learn
to say the Shemah. And we say it ev-
cry day all our lives, and it's the last

back to a rest area. Thank God, they
didn't call the boys out again. But it
wouldn't have made much difference to
some Of the lads visited in the hospi-
tai. They weren't thinking of fighting
though some of 'em lived-what was
left of them. There was one hoped
wouldn't although he was boy of my
own church, the son of an old college
chum of mine. (The army's small
place after all, and you'd be surprised
how many old friends met over there
in every conceivable place, from the
Louvre when ran up to Paris down to
the delousing station at the embarka-
ton part). John, you see, was pretty
badly done for-torn with shrapnel, with
an infected leg that had to come off, and
all that sort of thing. But he was game
to the last, like all the rest Of the fell
lows, and the one thing he asked me
wasn't for himself either.
"See that kid in the third bed?" he
told me the afternoon he died, "Well, I
don't think he's going to last long, eth
er. You know, he was out of his head
most all night, and kept saying he
couldn't die without saying something
or OCncf. cOulQnC Z understand IL, DuC
it must be sort of Jewish prayer"
And then John tried to grin at me.
"I'm regular detective to find that
out, amt I? But his names Cohen.
So was wondering whether you couldn't
get Jewish. rabbi or worker to come
and pray with him. Can you?"
I promised John to do what l could,
but I was worried I'm not saying this
in spirit of criticism, but your people
didn't have many religious workers on
the other side, either as civilians or in
the army. Which surprised me, as the
Jewish people must have realized how
utterly alone their young men were in
the midst Of us Gentiles, no matter how
much we liked and respected them. But
it's too late to talk about that now, isn't
it?
You'll laugh at my ignorance, but
didn't know until ! talked the matter
over with Jewish friend lately that
any Jewish boy might have said the
prayer for the dying as well as a. rabbi

a JEW FOR AN HOUR :
NY friend, the army chaplain, lear

My friend, the army chaplain, leaned
across my desk, his eyes very thought
full. Sometimes wonder whether
did just the right thing" he murmured
doubtfully. He leaned back, his brown
fingers plucking idly at the buttons Of
his coat, the cross upon his collar. "May-
be you as Jew can tell me-"
It wasn't all pleasant work over there.
Some Of it made me pretty sick. Espe-
cially visiting the hospitals after big
push But, then, hadn't enlisted for
pleasant job.
You hear a lot nowadays about the
war rubbing out the boundary lines be-
tween the different religions. Maybe it
has, little. There's nothing remark
able in Catholic and Protestant dough-
boys sitting around the same table to
smoke and play cards. Lots Of 'em did
that before they ever went to France.
And Jews and Gentiles didn't have to go
through hell together in the Argonne
to learn to respect each other. My own
father would laugh at that. He had
Jew for a partner for years, and when
old Mr.. jacobson died = But I'll tell
you about that later. What I'm getting
at is CnaC man Wncn ne lies Oh MS
deathbed is likely to want two things of
his very own, and want 'em bad-his
own mother and his own religion. He
may have been Catholic with an agnos-
tic for his buddy while they were in the
trenches; but when he knows he isn't
going to last much longer he wants a
priest of his own church. It's that way
with all of them, think.
Well, it was back in the fall some
time in October, think, not long before
the armistice. Only few weeks, but
those few weeks cost us pretty heavy.
Since I've come back to the States I've
heard lot of nice people (who won the
war just by buying Liberty bonds!) say
ing how they were sorry we didn't fight
week or so more and teach the Ger
mans lesson. But I wonder whether
some of the women who lost their sons
and sweethearts just few days before
it was signed didn't think we fought
just week or SO too long?
Anyhow, we'd been having some pret-
ty bloody fighting before we were sent

THE STORY IN BRIEF

The violent race riots which started in
Washington, D. c., with general attacks
by soldiers, sailors and Marines on ne
groeS, which grew out of numerous re-
cent assaults on white women by negroes
resulted IN the killing and injuring Of
large number of both negroes and white
people, including policemen and soldiers,
as well as civilians.
This outbreak of violence in our Nat
lonal Capital was a great surprise to the
American people and the world. In gen.
eral the many thousands of Washington
negroes are Contented and law abiding,
Lately, however, with the tremendous
l HuX OF war workers, mostly young
women, many of Whom---owlng 10 lack
OF proper housing facilities in the city
proper-have been living in the more or
less remote suburbs which have but little
ponce protectlon), there has been de-
ploraDe series of assaults by negroes.
Inc reports at first Indicated that the
crimes were the work of but single
negro, but later-apparently owing to the
failure of the authorities quickly to ap-
prehend and punish the guilty party
additional assaults were made, with like
impunlty, by one or more other negroes.
This situation caused widespread race
agitation which led to an organized gen.
erai assault on Washin gton negroes by
service men. This was quickly followed
by Tetallatory measures by the negroes,
and the resulting disastrous race war
1t has long been apparent TO residents
of WASHINGTON and close observers of af-
fairs there that its police ana detective
forces are utterly Inadequate. Moreover,
even with the recent great influx of peo-
pie during the war period, these forces
have been increased but little, and the
situation has gone from bad to worse;
and it is no doubt largely due to this fact
that these disgraceful disorders at our
National Capital have been possible.
1t would seem that, at time when our
Members of Congress are SO exercised
over the failure of Mexico to protect
American citizens it would be well for
them to see to it that the citizens and the
residents in our own National Capital are
afforded proper police protection.

Psychic blindness is a condition of the
optic centers which does not involve loss
of visual sensation but failure to recog-
nize objects seen. A great number of
people are thus afflicted at the present
time. Mr.. Fletcher, the present United
States ambassador to Mexico, is one of
them. He told the House Rules Com
mittee few days ago that he had not
noticed any particular anti-American
sentiment in Mexico We Judge that this
case of psychic blindness IS incurable
although Saul of Tarsus failed to perceive
the obvious and the Lord effected such a
complete cure that Saul was thereafter
able to see things as they actually were.
In Mr.. Fletcher's case we must trust in
the Lord. We do not think any human
skill can avail.

Our majestic Pacific fleet has departed
for its western base. We are proud of
these magnificent ships and prouder of
the officers and men who are comprised
in their respective crews. The successful
round trip of the huge Zeppelin from
Europe to the United States has demon
strated that carriers of this sort furnish a
new method of attack against which the
most formidable naval vessel or the
strongest Notifications cannot defend
itself with any great success. They
make possible worse eventuality, name
ly, the release of deadly gasses which
will be able to decimate not only armies
but the population of our cities. We can
no longer rely on our navy to protect us
however strong or however brave its
personnel may be.

better pay as they become qualified to
