Dear Brother:- letter of
Nov. 10, was read today. l was in
deed glad to hear from you again
and learn that you were all well. l
am we'll and enjoying myself. l
have never seen a sick day since
landing in France, which think is
pretty lucky, as I am kept busy every
day and most every night until from
about 8 to II or 1 o'clock, rain or
shine. | have been driving Col.
Reeder's car since about the first of
September, and some wonderful trips
we have taken.
Perhaps you would like to hear
of my trip across. We left Camp
Jackson July 26, for Camp Mills, L.
l., stayed there until Aug. 5, went
to New York City, got on board the
Cunard liner A1gutania, which is
next to the largest ship sailing. 1t
was $40 feet long, IS feet wide,
seven decks above water and two or
three below. There was something
near 5000 abroad, the first two days
were fine, it was reported that sub
marine was after US the morning of
the second day but we were running
too fast for them The third day
most everybody got sick, one of my
friends said | was to blame for it.,
the night before | was wishing for
rough sea, | wanted to see how it
would feel, don't think | will wish
for any going back. The other three
days were pretty quiet. We landed
at Liverpool, England, Aug, 12,un-
loaded, after staying out on the
water from about / p. m. to 5 p. M.
waiting for the tide to come in so
we could get up to the dock. We
were lined up and marched to an
Englich rest camp, about five miles
out, called Knotty Ash, and believe
me, it was a knotty one. We were
there two days and nights; then we
marched back to Liverpool and got
on board a train for Southampton,
then another hike of about, five miles
out to Camp Commons, which was
not so bad. We were there for two
days and nights, then hiked back to
Southampton and got on board the
English troop ship, Slider and cross
ed the English channel that night,
accompanied by three destroyers, to
Cherbourg, France. From there we
hiked out to another rest Qess)
camp, between five and six miles
and were there two days and nights; ;
then hiked back to the city of Cher

LAD RETURNS TO
GOOD OLDU. S. A.

Dear Mother
will write you a few lines. | am
in the good old U. S. A. once more,
in as good condition as was when |
left. landed Jan. 7, at Camp Mil
Ter, N. Y, where was once station
ed, but didn't have much hopes when
I left of ever seeing this place again.
1t is showing very hard at this
time. l would be glad to know how
Robert came out. l don't think he
ever went across. Well, | guess you
would like to know about my trip.
It was tough from the time l got on
the boat until l got back. After the
war was over l went to London on a
three weeks furlough. I had fine
time there. l wrote you letter
while in London. The last letter l
got from you was the one you wrote
when Robert was at home. was in
the lines when l got it. There were
two friends standing by my side
when was reading it and German
sent over big shell and killed both
of them. l just kept on reading,
thinking the next one might be mine.
Well, l don't know when / will get
to come home, but l won't be here
long, SO don't answer until I write
again.

of French make and travelled from
Monday 9 a. m. to Wednesday about
10 a. m. when we arrived at La Val
dahon, near the Swiss border, then
we unloaded and the camp being
full, our regiment was split up into
battalions and sent out to the vii
lagos and billeted in barns. We COM
pleted our training at Camp Valda-
hon and were under orders to go to
the front when the armistice was
signed. We were not lucky enough
to get into the fight, but it was not
our fault, as we were all anxious to
go.
-. Since the armistice ] have been to
Verdun, Metz, Nancy, and all around
that section of front, and driven
through from Marseilles, to Valda-
hon, 445 miles, all around Valdahon,
Besaucon, Dion, Lyons and quite a
few large towns l can't remember
Just now and out in the mountains
| saw sights the tourists would give
anything Ito see.
On one of my trips through the
mountains, we drove down into the
valley of La Leau, which l imagine
looks a great deal like the grand
canyon of the Colorado. When we
got to the bottom we saw one OF the
most beautiful sights l have ever
seen-a large river ran out of the
side of a mountain and dropped
about 20 feet. 1 could tell you OF
many wonderful sights, but it would
take too long to write, so will save
them until come home.
While in Metz fast Sunday, l saw
Gen. Pershing, Marshal Foch anc
President Poincaire. The people Of
Metz were celebrating the return OF
Lorraine to France.
l must quit now and hit the hay
Love and best wishes to all.

"HURTING THE CAUSE OF
IFWPVn
TEWRY." !"

".Rev. G.. A. Simons, head of the
Methodist Episcopal church in
Russia for many years, told
United States Senate investigating
committee that most of the Boil
shevik leaders in that country are
Jews and that many of these come
from the East Side in New York.
If that be. true it is very re-
grettable circumstance from the
standpoint Of the conservative ele-
ment of Jew:y. One O. the things
the world has heard much about in
summaries of the probable results
Of the war is that the Jews of Eu-
rcpe and the Near East would be
ernancipated from centuries of
prejudice and persecution and would
come into happier and juster sta
tus.
Liberal-minded peoples in both
hemispheres, and particularly in the
United States, have hailel with sim
cere evidences of approval the plan
of establishing tranquil habitation
or state for Jews in Palestine. They
have hoped that the lot of the Jew

he was oppressed would be changed
radically with the infusion of new
ideals in world politics. 1t is a
shock to them, therefore, to hear
that intelligent Jews of this country
and of Russia are lending them
selves to the Bolshevism that match
es in oppression the worst that was
practiced under the old i1nperialistic
regime.
1t is human nature, perhaps, that
those who have been abused and So
cially outcast in Russia should turn
in kind upon their oppressors, but
that fact is not likely to excuse the
Russian Jews in the opinion of the
world for an active association of
the kind attributed TO them by DR..
Simons.
Here is field for wholesome Jew
ish propaganda. The true repre-
sentatives of that blood the world
over should do all that lies in their
power to bring to an end an ex-
tremism that promises to injure the
general Jewish cause. This is a
psychological time for clear-think-
ing and sane, well-considered con-
duct by the Jewish element Of
troubled foreign lands.
1t should be said that the. Boil
shevik Jews are Jews only in blood
and not in religion and morals. They
are not typical of the race, but the
unfortunate thing is that an ill-in-
formed world is prone to think of
them as such, to the detriment of
Jewry everywhere. THE Mime
apolis Tribune.
This solicitude on the part of the
Tribune for the good name and the
welfare of the Jewish people should
not go unnoticed. That we pro-
foundly appreciate it goes without
saying. Yet there are few things
that the editor of the Tribune did
not take sufficient time to reason
out. We often do things hastily,
especially when we are bent on do
ing good, and know that Our mo-
tive is unimpeachable.
In the first place, what the editor
should have stopped to consider is
the possibility of Rev G.. A. Simons'
testimony not being entirely true,
and his opinion being somewhat BIZ
ased.
Mr.. Salck, who is the accredited
IL
The American Jewish world., 1919-02-21

pronounce them as false, and to
show the reason for the witness
bias and prejudice. For Rev. Simons
evidently worked in Russia as mis-
sionary, and finding the way to the
conversion Of the Greek orthodox
Russians barred by church and
state, probably tried his luck among
the unorthodox elements, including
the Jews, but without any better
success. For Christian mission
ary in the Jewish pale Of Russia has
about as much chance as a snow
ball in the well-known hot place.
1t was quite natural for Rev. Simons
to become disgruntled and embit-
tered, and to conceive a dislike for
the hopeless Jews, and now to see
in them nothing but Bolsheviki. SO
much for Mr.. Simons' testimony.
Yet, the fact remains that among
the leaders of the Bolsheviki there
are many Jews, and probably just as
many proportionately among the
rank and file And pray, why not?
Is it not natural that the Jews as
a group, living in the same environ
ment and under the same conditions
as their non Jewish neighbors,
should furnish their just quota in
proper proportion, of leaders and
followers of every movement, every
tendency, every change and upheav-
al, be it wise or foolish, beneficial
or injurious, righteous or GRIM
ina1? How could it be otherwise?
In land that for centuries has bred
seething discomfort, and revolution
and Bolshevism become ideals, the
Jews in proper proportion work for
revolution and Bolshevism. In
land where militarism and world
conquest is the ideal, many Jews,
in just proportion to their total
number, become militarists and jim
goes, and sing "Deutschland Uber
Alles' as Justify as their neighbors.
In modern city like New York that
exhibits in such sharp contrast the
two extremes of modern CONNER
cialism and industrialism, the mil
lion and a half Jews or more will
naturally furnish their just proper
ton of socialists and anarchists;
just as they furnish their proportion
ate number of conservative COM
mercial and industrial leaders, and
political reactionaries; just as they
furnish their o,,Ot, of criminals
