Taking his arm she laughed tink-

Dove introduced them. Pee Wees
languid eyes looked Cholly over
with lazy i%nsolence.
"Have we seen you peforeo:" she
asked then.
Cholly said she doubted it, fore
ing herself to be as casual as Ma

The group around the bar mao
directed their attention to the W
girls and the Hayworth heir, n

with an effort to appear noncha-
liant and Joined them. Romany inc
Brent, noting the interest, walked
over to the bar.
Cholly's answer did not satisfy
the now doubly curious Pee wee,
who was lever very diplomatic
when she had consumed a few glas-
ses of champagne. She said, smiling
and showing little short, even teeth:
"Who is this mystery woman,
Dovie? I don't like mystery rivals.
Specially when they're red headed.
Red.heads are dangerous"
Romany saw Cholly look up
from her champagne, and a quick
light of resentment came into her
eyes. She knew the warning sig
nal. When anyone referred to
Cholly's red hair in that way, 1t
usually meant that she would lose
her temper. If Romany had been
close enough, she would have given
her a poke in the ribs.
Dove, feeling Cholly's embar-
rassment, put an arm around her.

uncomfortably because she wasn't

The fateful moment when Sec
rotary of War Henry StimSOn drew
the first number in the 1910 draft
called to mind the equally dramat-
ic occasion on July 20, 1917, when
the late Congressman Julius Kahn,
of California, chairman of the
House Military Affairs Commit
tee, drew the first draft number
from the bowl A few days later
he said: 81 desire to congratulate
my cO-reIigiOnsists on the Splen-
did showing they are making in
the matter of serving our country
in this war. Many of the boys who
go to the front will be wounded.
Many of them will be killed. But
Jews at all periods of the worlds
history have been ready to make
the supreme sacrifice whenever
the land that gives them shelter
demands it.
And it is fitting that we, as
American citizens. go forth gladly
in defense of American rights and
the maintenance of American hon.
or and prestige. AS I drew the
first draft number from the bowl,
there passed through my mind the
thought that this land of the free
which has given the people of my
creed absolute freedom of religi-
GUS worship, which has placed OPP
portunities untold within the
reach Of the humblest among us,
was a country worth fighting for.
I know that I voice the senti-
ments of the overwhelming ma
jority Of the Jews in the United
States when I say that we will do
our share towards keeping "Old
Glory floating proudly in tn
skies so that it may continue to
shelter under its fold the down.
trodden and the oppressed of ev-
cry land"
Congressman Kahn spoke no idle
words. His promise that 1--WE will
do our share" crystallized into a
record of patriotism which is one
of the brightest chapters in jew
ish history. When the call to arms
was sounded Jews responded
whOle-heartedly. Citizens and nom
citizens, immigrants who only a
few years before had found in
America hOSpitabIe haven from
persecution abroad rallied to the
armed forces of the United States.
That the Jews of America con-
tributed their share toward win
ming the war, and more, is now a
matter of incOnteStable record.
BY proportion of population the
Jews Of Amreica should have num-
bered about three percent of the
armed forces. Actually they con-
tributed between four and five
percent Of the military and ma
val personnel, or a third beyond
their normal share. Two factors
accounted for this. First was the
fact that the selective service sys-
tenn operated more effectively in
the North and East than in the
South and parts Of the West, and
in the urban than in the rural
areas-that is, in the larger CEN
ters Of population which also hap
pened to be the centers of Jewish
population. The comparatively
larger number of exemptions
granted to workers in agriculture
and mining and mental industries.
where Jews were least extensive
~ employed, created situation
whereby the Jewish elements of
the population were drawn upon
m ore heavily, in proportion to
their numbers, than the average
of the other elements. But the

nercent of the Jewish total.


The marine corps, on the other
hand, is essentially a fighting or
ganization. Every man IN TINS
corps was a volunteer, enlisted
with the full knowledge that the
corps would be sent wherever the
fighting was thickest. Of the Ma
rine Corps records examined by
the Board of Jewish War Records
"a percent proved to be Jewish.
Of the 12,25O Jews in the marine
corps, fully 80 percent pointed inn
mediately after June 5, 1918, the
day when it was announced to the
world that the, marines were the
American shock troops at Chateau
Thierry.
General Pershing's Opinion of the
Jewish Soldiers
"Jews are an essential part OF
America. As citizens among us,
they have always done their full
part. when the time came to
serve their country under arms, no
class of people served with more
patriotism or with higher motives
than the young Jews who vOlun-
TERED or were drafted and who
went overseas with our other
young Americans.
81 well remember in my inspec-
lions of New York divisions see
ing so many patriotic, well-disci-
plined, well-behaved young Jew
ish soldiers, whose commanders
spoke of t h m in the highest
terms. During the War there was
no such thing as race or creed
they were forgotten"
But the best evidence of the
high quality of Jewish courage in
the war is to be found in the Off
cial citations for gallantry in ac-
ton or devotion above and be-
yOnd the call of duty. No less than
HOO citations for valOr were con-
ferred on Jewish soldiers in the
American army. OF these, 1873 were
conferred by the American COM
mand, 287 by the French, SO by
the British and As by various 9TH
er Allied commands. The rare
Congressional Medal of honor was
won by six Jews. The Distin-
guiShed Service Cross is worn by
$50, the French Medaille Military
by four American Jews and the
CrOix de Guerre by lis Jews In
the A.E.F.
One more piece of statistical
evidence remains to be added to
complete this record Jewish cas-
ualties. Figures compiled by the
Board of Jewish War Records
show that $500 Jews died fight
ing = 1900 in elton, 500 of
wounds and LOO of accident, dis
ease and other causes. The Jewish
wounded number $4,000. Thus the
total Jews killed was 5 percent of
the entire death roll and the to-
tai Jews who died or shed their
blood was over $4,000.
Such was the epic of Jewish
herOism in 1918. And it is an
epic that can be matched in ev.
cry crisis that has confronted
America. Today, when the call to
service has become the greatest
opportunity for patriotism in ac-
ton, Jewish youth is again answer
ing that call, proudly and loyal
~. Come what may, the youth
of American Israel is on the march
with all other American youth. on

Holland is a very low country.
once Holland was nothing but
marches. The word neither is
Dutch meaning Glow" in English.
That is why the country is called
Netherlands. The Dutch people
build thick, strong walls called
dykes. These dykes keep the water
out of the low places. Windmills
pump water out of the fields.
Dairying is another important
work OF the Netherlands. Many peo-
