HERO WHO SAVED sLOST BAT
TALON TO EMIGRATE TO

TALON" TO EMIGRATE TO
PALESTINE
Abraham Krotoshinsky, who saved
the Lost Battalion" in the Argonne
Forest, at the risk of his life, and
the cost of much physical suffering
and impaired health, is about to emf
CRATE to Palestine, there to devote
his life to the pursuit Of the first and
noblest Of callings, and to bringing
his knowledge of agriculture to the
working of the sacred soil. With
him will go his sister, a young wom-
an who, but a year or so ago, was
brought to this country from Poland.
Abraham Krotoshinsky was pri-
vate in Co. X, 307 Infantry, when
his battalion, under the command Of
Colonel Whittlesey, was surrounded
in the Argonne. They were short of
rations. They tried to get word back
to the rear, but their men never got
through. Paralysis and stupefactiOn
and despair were in the air. And
when the hour was darkest, and all
seemed lost, Abraham Krotoshinsky
stepped forward and said he would
try to get through. He tried, he was
but he got through, and he saved
''The Lost Battalion" Although he
may justly be ranked among the
greatest heroes of the war, nothing
in his manner has ever suggested
that he did anything unusually diff
ferent from the service of any ordi-
nary doughboy.
It will be remembered that, fol-
lowing his discharge from the army,
being DESTROYS of following agricul-
ture as his life's work, he applied for
and was admitted to the National
Farm School, where he proved to be
one of it's most exemplary stu
dents, bringing the same earnestness
which he brought to the grim bust
ness of war to the work Of the great
agricultural army of peace. He will
now contribute his practical and sci
entific knowledge of agriculture to
the cause of Zionism in Palestine,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Nathan Strauss,
who because of their interest and
faith in him, had planned to supply
him with a farm in northern New
York state, will now see that he is
provided with a suitable tract in the
Holy Land. Through the experience
gained at the National Farm School,
he will be fitted to become leader
and organizer of colonies in Pales-
tine, and will greatly aid in it's res
toration and rejuvenation.

ago half a dozen urchins from to 10 years

Even the skinny little boys didn't seem to
mind the bumps. and the fat ones were in
