Roeh HoaHona that American troops ,
are spending in Europe, and tlje sol- i

As (ar as possible services will be 1
conducted by the five Jewish chap- 1
laina that are now overseas with the ,
American expeditionary forces. Brfit- |
ish a*id French Rabbis will chant the (
holiday services for all the American ,
boys who come within their territory.
The synagogues and Jewish homes
will be thrown' open to those Jewish .
boys who have availed ^themselves of
the three-day furlough which the
United States government has grant- '
ed them for Rosh Hashona.
Where military necessity interferes
with the leave of absence, the boys
will hold their own services, using
Bibles and special prayer hooks sup- ;
plied by the Jewish welfare board,
who have also distributed a quantity
'"of holiday stationery, ho that the
men may send greetings to their foikfl

orders granting furloughs to Jewish
soldiers and sailors for Rosh Hnshona

AND CAMP
TWO INTERESTING LETTERS, j I
The kaiser is "gratified." and sends j 1
his photograph when a German wo- J ,
man loses nine sons in the war.
This is the letter to one Frau Meter j
?originally printed in The New York.
Times:
"His majesty the kaiser hears that i
you have sacrificed nine sons in de-!
fense of the fatherland in the present
war. His majpsty is immensely gratified
at the fact, and in recognition is
pleased to send you his photograph
with frame and autograph signature."
Frau Meter, who received the letter,
has now joined the street beggars In
Delmenhora-Oldenburg, to get a living.
Just my way of contrast here is the
famous letter from President Lincoln
to Mrs. Bixby: *
"Dear Madam: I have been shown
