published as official textbook by the
United Synagogue of America. Miss
Ish-Kishor has written extensively
for the English-Jewish press. She has
also contributed articles and verses
to the New York Times, The New
York Sun, Smart Set, Life, and other
leading American periodicals. She has
now in preparation volume of stories
from the Talmud. Editors Note.
Flying splinters Of the gorgeous I'm
perial stage of Russia, blown to bits
by the war and the Revolution, are
still landing, carrying into all corners
of the earth now a singer, now bal
let-dancer, now a violinist. A par
ticularly large and healthy fragment
deposited on our shores the mighty
Chaliapin; on a frail scrap were
planted the snappy little feet of .Kar-
abnova; medium size portion carried
hither the short but intense and potent
person of Alexander Roman, who at
present occupies the relatively small
position of chief violinist of the
Chauve-Souris, the Russian production
which has been the theatrical sensa-
ton of this season in New York.
Owing to disagreement with the
Bolshevik authorities, which culmin-
ated in request to Mr.. Roman to
keep an appointment with certain SOL
diers at sunrise on a very cold morn
ing-an appointment which Mr.. Ro-
man declined to keep, eliminating him
self across the border with the utmost,
deftness and celerity-Mr. Roman
does not bear the name which he
made prominent in Russian musical
circles; he prefers to remain hidden
from fame and danger alike. But his
marvellous playing of the Tschaikowsky
concerto in. Detroit, which elected
from Ossip Gabrilowitsch the hearth
est praise, together with other excel
lent concert-work, is bringing the halo
Of distinction around his head once
more.
When the billboards of August,
1914, suddenly proclaimed "Mobiliza-
ton" Mr.. Roman, then acting as solo
list with the Riga Philharmonic Or
chestra, regretfully delivered over his
cherished Stradivarius to the care of
friends in Moscow who did not belong
to the Reserve, and reported himself
to the Riga Military Chief. He was
at once appointed Platoon Sergeant,
and two days later was on his way to
the East Prussian frontier.
After year or two of fighting, Mr..
Roman was severely wounded while
dashing forward under fire to rescue
another officer and was evacuated to
Moscow for recovery. When his
wound had healed, he was assigned to
reserve regiment stationed in Mos
cow. 80 ~ t'r =
Although the sensitive fingers of
the musician had learned to handle a
bayonet effectively, he scented music
as bloodhound scents the trail, and
quickly obtained the leadership of a
small military band. He was later
ordered to organize the music of the
Fourth Special Brigade-a command
which he executed with great zeal and
satisfaction in the face: of trials and
difficulties. Although his orders au-
thorized him to take two musicians. e.
from each reserve regiment in Mos
COW, the reginaehtal commanders
fought toath-and-nail, to- hold on to-
their players. Tricks, amusing and
otherwise-such as sending a dentist

tory. German and Austrian marches
they naturally could not play, but
what with Sousa and some Russian
marches, and Mr.. Romans daring pro-
duction of the "Eroica" with his brass
band, the orchestra of this enterpris-
ing Jewish concert-meister, proved
success on every front.
From Archangel, embarking under
the convoy Of mine-clearing trawlers,
and arriving under the protecting
companionship of two British Destroy
ers and their convoy, the brigade
reached Brest. An eight-day rest was
spoiled by the disappointing news that
they were to proceed to Salonika, a
front famous for it's hardships, dis
ease, and inconvenience To the SOL
der in war inconvenience looms great
err than dangers, and the prospect of
staying at Salonika was discouraging
A pleasant surprise, however,
awaited Mr.. Roman and the one other
Jew, the doctor, of his brigade. On
Yom Kippur the Haham Bashi invited

all the Jewish officers of the Allied
armies stationed at and near Salonika
to attend the Synagogue for services.
Salonika, white but squalid city of
Heptapyrgion, consists half of old
stone buildings, half of tumble-down
wooden huts deep in mire, and has few
modern buildings besides it's syna-
gogues, mosques and churches. The
chief synagogue is wonderful build
ing, some five hundred years old, built
in the Spanish style, for Salonika's
population is rs per cent Sephardic
Jews, descendants of refugees from
the Inquisition, who speak a corrupt
Spanish (Ladino) instead of Yiddish.
Here Mr.. Roman was amazed to OBJ
serve the extremely high rank of
many of the Jewish officers present,
especially those of the English and
Italian armies. Somebody ought to
have brought Henry Ford to Salonika,
to answer with his own eyes the ques-
ton of whether Jews are loyal SOL
diers.
What with breaking-in saddle mules,
and crossing mountain slopes where
there was scarcely enough footing for
a goat, Mr.. Roman and his musicians
were for long while more concerned
with keeping their necks whole than
with playing. One of his players suf-
fered an amusing mishap. The man,
whose Russian cap bore some resem-
blance to the Bulgarian cap, jumped

Says Bonus Bill
Cloaks Sales Tax
Rep. Garner Charges G. o. p
Hides Real Purpose of
Measure.

The charge that the administrs-
ton intends to pass soldiers
bonus bill only as means OF
foisting a sales tax on the people"
was made on the Democratic side
Of the House last night.
President Harding would veto the
bonus bill tomorrow. If it came to
him without the sales tax attached,
Representative Garner, Texas, rank
ing Democrat on the House Ways
and Means Committee, declared in
a statement summoning his COL
leagues to a fight against the tax.
Il know, as a member of the
committee handling the bonus, that
the plan is to raise the bonus money
through the sales tax" Garner said.
The Republicans have been trying
to slip over such a tax for months
and now they see a chance to sue
coed, by putting it under the pro-
tective wing of the bonus"
Garner predicted that the Demo-
Gratis would find enough support
among the Republican -Indepen-
dents" to fight the sales tax.
The Ways and Means COMMITTEES
probably will decide before the end
OF next week on how the bonus
money will be raised. Representa-

LEGION PLANS I
RELIEF MEASURES
Indianapolis Session Favors
Census of Disabled Ex-
Service Men.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Jan. Is
Given over almost wholly to the
consideration of ways and means
of clearing up the disabled SOL
diers' problem. the meeting here of
officials of the American Legion
came to an end with seven out
standing resolutions, as follows:
To take a nationwide census of
all former soldiers. to establish a
rotating loan fund. to decentralize
the United States Veterans Bureau
and establish a Legion organiza-
ton which would cooperate close
ly with the bureau. to Immediately
adjust Iong-pending claims Of for
mer soldiers, to make compulsory
the immediate admission to hospI-
tails of any supposed veteran re-
CARELESS of his ability to show dis
charge papers, to discharge from
hospitals any official who is not
rendering efficient service. to push
through the adjusted compensation
bill now pending in Congress.
The fighting spirit cropped up
when Charles r. Forbes. director of
the Veterans Bureau, asked the
delegates II they wished to ask any
questions. Instantly several men
were on their feet. Case after case
of the neglect of disabled men had
been cited in a previous session.
Director Forbes promised to name
a board of appeal for each of the
fourteen regional districts, which
would be the final adjudication
bodies in their respective terri
tories.
Hanford MacNider. commander of
the Legion. resctated the organiza-
tons policy on the adjusted COM
pensation issue. declaring that the
Legion will not attempt to suggest
to the government the method OF
raising the money.
