London, Dec. 26. The participa
tion of English Jews in the world
war will, it is assendnd from one of
the proudest chapters in the history
of Anglo Jewry. Both in England
and in the Colonies large numbers of
young Jews are under arms.
Before the war broke out there
were 100 Jewish officers in all bran
ches of his Majesty's service, and
300 noncommissioned officers and!
men. The exact proportion which
Jews of the United Kingdom ought
to contribute to the fighting forces
in relation to their actual numbers'
has been calculated at about 3,200.
This figure has been considerably ex
ceeded, inasmuch as the chaplain,
the Rev. Michael, is in possession of
about 5,000 names of men who be
long to the Navy, the new Army, and
the Territorial Forces to-day. New
lists of names are constantly being
brought to his notice, and he is con
vinced that there must be at least
10,000 Jews who are at present per
forming military duties in the various
There are -at the moment at least
one thousand Jews in the fighting
line on the- Continent. . Three Jew
ish officers and a noncommissioned
officer, have been mentioned in Sir
John French's, despatches; and
Jewish sergeant major in a Highland
Regiment- has been rewarded, with
commission. ' 4 j 'h I ir ; , ,
One of the most interesting fea
tures of the Jewish enlistments is the
very large number of young men es
pecially: in East London, in Leeds,
and in Manchester, who are the sons
of alien immigrants. They could
furnish no finer proof of their grati
tude to England for the generous
hosji$ftliJx.he. has -always shown
jtyeajhc; nnmbW f ' JeWatthe
various military 'nta'tibni ' Is ' very
large.
Among the Canadian contingent
now on Salisbury -Plain it is com
puted there are at least 250 Jews.
Among these Canadian soldiers there
are numbers of sturdy-looking men
who had never been in England, but
had migrated from Russia and Rou-
mania - to Canada, where they had
found happy; homes, f At the , out
break of hostilities these men readily
came forward to bear arms in Eng
land's cause. . , .
Already the community has borne
its share in the losses on the-field of
honor. Three officers 'have been
killed and a number have been
wounded. Among the many Jewish
rank and file who, had given their
lives to Britains cause is a driver of
the Battery Royal Horse Artillery.
A Battery which , gained , undying
fame and three victoria crosses on
September first. And the' naval Cas
ualty lists hava included the names
of very many Jews. ,

issued by the mayor and corporation
Brausberg, a township, of . East
Prussia, v This district seems to be
very prolific In eats, and the authori
ties have hit upon, the brilliant idea
of thinning out the ' eats and at the
same time benefiting . the army

They therefore, call upon the eiti

The proportion of caUr- he , de

is so large that it. wilt not even ne

them. He hopes bis appeal wiu be

of a remarkable matrimonial tangrle -
began today before Judge J.- T.
Pendleton, in Superior Court, in the
h oaring of a motion by a former wife . i
to set aside the' second marriage of
John Jacob yAstof Gwinn, Luckie r
street shoe manufacturer and taxi -operator,
on the ground that his di- -voroe
from her is void. ; O . ,
The' ease Was called Tuesday bo-
fore Judge BolJ, who had agreed to r
hear it for; Judge Pendleton, but had ",
to be continued when the discovery'
was made that the original papers
and pleadings were missing. .Thor- v
ough soaroh for -the missuig papers ?
immediately was. started in the hope i -
thoy would be found.
Attorney Jerome - Si mmons, Jr.,
and J. B. McCallum, counsel for Mrs.
Fannie L. Gwinn, wife No. I, sought
to have the hearing proceed Tuesday,"
but it was stayed by objection of At-
tor hey 1 Mundaf and Cornwell, rep
resenting Gwinn.; - -
Mrs. Gwinn,' according to hor pell-;"
tion, is nowseeknig to annul Gwinn's
second marriage so that she may re- . :
claim him for herself , for she,, too, is -.
asking for a divorce, for alimonry and -
or an inivmetion to, restrain Gwinn
from 'disposing of his property or al v
tering it in any way. v "
In tho event .the court should hold
Gwinn's divorce to be void, this ruling -would
cancel his marriage to his sec-'
ond wife," with whom he is no re
Hiding at No. 65 Houston street.
(Jlwinn and his present wife have been ,
married , since shortly after he ob :
tained his divorce in 1911. 2 ,
Mrs, Gwinn; No. 1,: was living in
Spartanburg; 8. C, at tho time the
divorce was granted. She charged
that the proceedings were illegal for
the reason that she had no notice that .
a divorce petition had 'been filed.
against her, and had no knowledge t
even that her husband had obtained a '
divorce untiLshe came to Atlanta in
June, 1912.' She and Gwinn had been 5
