THE CADUCEUS WE SUPPOSE SO Editor The Caduceus: / I Dear Sir: — HAVE GONE TO FRONT. In the issue of The Caduceus of two weeks ago a I’eference was jokingly made to the ordnance department by jane of our departmental editors as “The Jewish Infantry.” The following response was called out hy that state ment: 1 guess that the banquet that the boys fom E-than Allen are going to liave Saturday night wull be quite some affair but while I happen to come down here with that crowd i don’t believe that it is going to be any place for a mere private. Going to have separate tables for the non- coms and us two or three privates would be sort of out of luck tho’ t guess that maybe they’d let us watch them eat possibly we’d get somelhing alter they were through. Public Formu Editor: 'It has been my pleasure to read your Caduceus every week. I was much surprised to read the remark which seems to me unpatriotic as it casts a reflection upon the loyalty of the Jewish people. I know that you have many of your faith in your camp and several of them I know personally. I am sure that you would not find any of them wanting in the line of^ their duty whatever the call is for their country, either on the battlefield or in camp. You cerfainly have read of entire regiments composed of Jewish young .men who have gone to the front in Palestine and have cheerfully offered their lives to fight the Turk.- Read ancient history and you will find that the Hebrews have always been great fighters. Hundreds of thousands of Jewish soldiers are now at the front in Prance fighting beside their Christian brothers and giving their life’s blood for America. JJncle Sam knows no creed in the ranks of his soldiers but he knows that his boys are always, ready to do their bit. Very respectfully yours, DAVID OESTRBICHER, Salisbury, N. C. I don’t suppose that it would be allowable for any of us to say any thing at-the banquet ‘cause it wouldri t give some of them the chance to talk when they wanted to and who would care to listen to what any of us might have to say anyway. Suppose tho that if any sweeping of dirty dishes were to be carried out in a hurry and the waiters weren’t quite quick enough We could come in sort of handy like for that sort of stuff ‘cause we’d all be expected to get the same kind of a deal we have been used to right along and it would spoil us to be treated almost like equals for one night since we might get enlargement of the cra nium and couldn’t do no work for a day or so. Guess out of loyalty to the uniform and what it represents I shall have to attend even if the prospect doesn’t appeal to me very strongly. A private; from B. a. BE BRIEF.
