under Jewish auspices and participated
in by Christians. 1t Is typical of what
we see In the army in the work of the
Jewish chaplains. 1t IL unnecessary in
this day to cite the heroic deeds of
Jews. When deeds Of valor are done on
the battlefield we do not look to see
whether a man Is a Jew, Protestant or
Catholic. I cannot but mention, how
ever. that one Of the four Distinguished
Service Orders conferred on men Of the
Twenty-seventh Division went to Lieut.
Col Emanuel Goldstein Of the 1890 En-
gineers."
Rabbi Stephen s. Wise eulogixed the

nations are bound in honor to make the

fishing a league Of international power

DR.. Holmes received his greatest
measure OF applause from the audience,
which was composed largely OF foreign

had In mind when making his will.
All the readings were In yiddish.

bars by Sarah Borni. Elias Breeskin and
Philip Gordon and songs by a large

PRESIDENT
DODGED DRY ISSUE
The ReU. A. B. Wood Says He
Seeks to Emborrass C.. o. p.

That President Wilson sought to shift
responsibility for the disposition of the
war emergency prohibition measure to
the Republican Congress- although he
had power to dispose OF It himself, was
the opinion expressed last night by the
Rev. Andrew B. Wood, assistant super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League, at
copal Church. Mr.. Wood said:
while the Anti-saloon League Of
America, of which am a director,
speaks for itself. II is my opinion that
President Wilson desired for party rea-
sons to shift the responsibility to the
Republican Congress,
Emergency prohibition enacted by
Congress and signed by the President
was intended TO save food. andswe do not
yet have any surplus Of bread or sugar
Mr. Hoover said on March 10 that there
Is not a pound Of food anywhere In the
world to be wasted during this year. The
United States Department OF Agriculture
is urging brewers to manufacture mall
tese sugar from the grain formerly used
In beer.
THE liquor question has not been sud
denly settled. but only after constant
debate through more than half a CEN
fury. Before that national amendment
was adopted the sentiment In the coun-
try was so strong that thirty-two States
had State prohibition and the dry candi-
dates TO Congress and the State Legisla-
lures had been elected In SUFFICIENT num-
bers to ratify the amendment In the up-
per houses OF the States by a vote of six
to one. and in the lower houses by a
vote OF four TO one, In seventeen cities
OF more than 10000 population the re-
suits Of prohibition have been uniformly
beneficial in the saving Of life and
money"
