Ynndon, January 2S.-Dr. Max Nofuau U told the English Zionist Federation the other day that in the world war tne Jews had furnished soo,ooo soldiers oo ~. x.r;ous armies. This. he said, was shc,,t T per cent of the whole number Of Jews. a proportion equaled by few and surpassed only, he believed, by the French. The Jews had lost 5000 dead and had also about 900 casualties
 But what had the Jews fought for, ne asked. Even in the advanced and highly civilized countries of the west, he con ttnsled, a huge wave of anti-Semitlsm was yelling up; in the new countries that had arisen in the east the most crirnina' rasstons were let loose against the Jews In this dark picture there was one bright spot, the British declaration in favor oi a Jewish national home in Palestine.

statement.
In the evening. as we look to-

be interesting to Junior readers.
Every Lone Scout who has had
any experience whatever in the

is great fun. Last spring / had a
try at it and since then l have
strengthened my ambition to be a
reporter I had left school much
against my parents wishes and was
on a 'try-0ut" for the paper.
The first work they gave me was
rather Disappointing, for it was
simply to 60 over to produce
house and get some quotations.
That was work for copy boy, l
thought, but nevertheless, brought
back the quotations.
My next duties were to clip some
articles and pictures from various
other newspapers that were stack
ed on a desk close by. l had no
trouble doing this. as each article
and picture was marked.
Answering the telephone was the
next labor l performed. Several of
the calls were for people in the Of
flee. but now and then some one
would call in and give small item
Of news. The first time this oc-
cured l called to the editor. He
told me to do 1t myself, and after
that little incident i never again put
a question to him that thought the
least bit foolish.
About 10 o'clock the editor called
me to his desk and handed me a
long cardboard on which was past

me just how to do it and also gave
me an explanation of the board
and what must expect at the meet
ing. Just as l was leaving he cal
led after me. saying:
