him to fit himself successfully into

That the Jews of America have
contributed more than their proper
tionate quota to the armed forces
Of the United States in the war is
shown in the official "War Record
of American Jews" which has. just
been issued by the American Jewish
Committee, through it's Office. of.
War Records, at 81 Union Square,
New York City. II.
While the report does not pre-.
tend to be complete record Of the
activities of all Jews who responded
to the call of their country it is suf-
fciently comprehensive to indicate
the important part that they played
The total number of Jews in the
military and naval service of the
United States is estimated at from
10000 to 100000, or from four to
five per cent Of the total personnel
of the American forces at the time
the armistice was signed. The Jew
ish element in the general popula-
ton of the United States is about
three per cent. The Jews of Amer
ica have, therefore, according to
these figures, contributed at least
one-third more than their proper
tionate share.
This excess is explained by the
presence of about 10000 Jewish vol
unteers in the service. Other con-
tributing factors were to be found in
the more effective operation of the
draft system in the thickly populat-
ed urban centers of the. North and
East. which happen also to be the
centers of Jewish population, and
in the fact that the majority of ex-
emptions on industrial grounds were
chiefly in agriculture, mining and in
the metal industries, where Jews
are not extensively employed.

Press Digest Of Report on War Record
of American Jews.

The files of the Office of Jewish
War Records already contain over
100000 individual records, of which
about $4,000 have been minutely
classified and tabulated. The num-
Der of Jewish commissioned Off
GERS so far recorded include 5,162 in
the army, 2Oo in the navy and 40
in. the marine corps. It is probable,
however, that these numbers will be
more; than doubled when the record
will finally be completed. The high
est rank reached by Jews is that of
Brigadier General in the army and
marine, corps, and rear admiral in
the navy.
The readiness of American Jews
to fight for their country is shown
BY the fact that Y per cent of those
in the army were in the combat
branches, while in the army as a
whole only about 90 per cent were
in these branches. Their casualties
amount to about 10000, of whom
probably 1000 were killed in action.
Other evidence of the. quality of
their courage is found in the long
list of citations for va1or furnished
in the report and in the testimony
Of commanding officers like Gen
eral Bell, Lieutenant Colonel Whit
t1esey and Captain Harrigan, who
trained the Jewish recruits in camp
or led them in action
"From information now at hand,'
concludes the report, which is signed
by Julian Leavitt, the director, "It
has become apparent that the rec
ord of Jewish War Service, when
fully developed, will demonstrate
conclusive1y that the same qualities
which enabled the Jew to survive
through the centuries-his capacity

Jews Science
Can a Jew Be Christian Scientist
and a Jew at the Same Time?

If it were merely a matter Of hug
ging a few superstitions and delu-
sions, even though they run counter
to the purest elements of his own re-
ligion, Jew could embrace them
and still remain Jew. The COM
mon run of Jews, like all other hui
man beings, have not been, and are
not now, free from superstition.
There have been Jews who believed
in spirits, good and evil, the evil
eye, w1tchcraft, amulets, the, ef-
icacy of changing the name in case
Of sigknes, who believed in won
der-rabbis and their miraculous
cures, effected by the laying on Of
hands, or the repetition of mystic
formulas, or the performance of
Cabalistic jugglery; who believed in
every kind Of mysticism. Yet they
all remained Jews, and often out
grew those superstitions. There are
Jews now who believe in. unlucky
numbers, unlucky days.. etc. Still
they are Jews. But he who joins
the new cult of Christian Science
ceases to be Jew. He gradually
sunders all connections with. the
Jewish people, .shuns the synagogue,
and joins the church. This we know
from experience.
Christian Scientists who first get
hold Of Jew. and try to benefit him
by their ministration of healing,
don't hesitate to tell him that he

He is every inch and ounce Prussian
He is SO attached to Germany, and the

nominated for the secretaryship Of the

the only defeat that Platten has sus-
tanned in political life in many years.

Shoots United States Collector.
Riley is sought by Uncle Sam for
moonshining and for shooting Deputy
collector 7. NJ. Arrowsmith. a revenue
officer. He is wanted by the army for
refusing to register for the draft. And
he is wanted by the state for several
shootings and for jumping bail.
Recently he was caught making
moonshine whisky. But Joe isn't one
of the surrendering kind. He raised his
shotgun and fired a charge full into
the face Of Deputy Arrowsmith. BY
some miracle Arrowsmith's eyes were
missed, but the rest Of his face is still
full of small shot. i.,
Recently Joe Riley shot through the
head q companion whom he accused
of having reported his moonshine still

Riley was arrested for i:lis shooting
after he had first jumped from the sec

the officers came to get him. and had
shot six times at Deputy Collector A.
P. Gates. He was placed under bond,
but he jumped it and fed to the hills.
He has wife and children living near
the village Of Caldwell, n. C.
He is as famous down here in Or

He has the reputation Of being one
of the most efficient raiders in the
country. In stature and appearance he
greatly resembles the ascetic. thin

He has an almost uncanny nose" for
stills-they say he can smell one two
miles away.
Arrowsmith works practically alone,
except that occasionally Sheriff Rose

him on his raids.
His methods differ from those of the
Virginia moonshine raiders in that he
does his work entirely at night. With
ali electric flashlight to aid him, its
