THE JEWISH SiHRONICLE

THE KING AND A JEWISH
MARINE.

served on a man-of-war (luring the
recent North Sea naval battle, writ-
ing from a hospital in Scotland,
narrates how he was visited by the
king, who enjoyed the Jewish hu-
mor of the wounded marine. Pri-
va te !Lindell writes:
"I was hurled several yard across
the floor, my clothes, hands,-arms,
face and scalp were burnt ; in fact,
1 was still smouldering when, grop-
ing my way in the pitch darkness,
all lights being out, i found a steel
ladder which 1 scaled. It was a
very,painful journey up that ladder,
the explosion also having burnt the
skin of my hands and arms, and
- finally I arrived at an open cabin
door. found out afterwards it
was the commander's cabin. I sank
into an armchair, divesting myself
of the clothes which were still
smouldering, and brushing the re-
maining sparks of what was (411ce
. my hair off my , injured scalp. A
Land-mirror being at my elbow, I
surveyed the damage. 1 was burnt
as black as a coal, minus hair, eye-
brows, mustache, and, horror of
horrors, I was going blind. y
eyes finally closed and held tightly
together, .\t last, realizing my
hopeless position, and smarting tin-
der pain, I lifted both hands, for it
seemed to relieve me, and cried
aloud (for the cannonading around
me was terrific and deafening)
In
three times the `Shentang.'
calmer moments afterwards as I lay
JCL I . wondered at
in the hospital
.a. bed
my outburst, but, considering my
great excitement, helpless state, and
also having heard since of men of
other denominations who acted in
the same . way, I have ceased to
wonder. A strange thing happened,
which, to me, at that time, appeared
as a miracle. A man appeared
from, seemingly nowhere with a
satchel of emergency dressings, ar.d
said he thought I'd called for him,
and proceeded rapidly to dress my
wounds with great care and skill.
In due time I was transferred to a
hospital ship, and then to this splen-
did institution, where, under the
skillful treatment of doctors and
nurses, I am fast recovering, and
will shortly after some leave be fit
to take my place around the gun
once more. Ns majesty, the king,
with Admiral Beatty and other high
naval and military officers, paid a
visit her.e, His majesty come to my
bedside and spoke to me very en-
couragingly. He seemed concerned
about my hair, of which there is
almost nil. I replied by telling him
of my sympathy and concern for the
future of my barber, at which the
•
king and his suite laughed heartily.
To the question, 'Are we down-
hearted?' I can only reply, who
possibly can be when such sympathy
and encouragement from all sides
pound in daily? Why, one cannot
help but be proud of going through
it."

EVERY OFFICER AND MEMBER IS
AGAINST STATEWIDE PROHIBITION

Not one Officer or Leader of this vast
army of Michigan Voters is' allied with
the Brewing Industry.

The league is officered by Business Men and Labor
Leaders who sanction True Government Only. They
are against Statewide Prohibition because it is con-
fiscatory, because it would bring on high taxes, and
•because it would throw thousands of workmen out of
employment.

Officers of the league_ also believe that the solution of the pro-
hibition problem lies iri the smaller unit.
They believe every city, village and township can best govern
itself. They would make the village, the township and the city
the unit of prohibition.
True community government would then prevail. Rights of
citizens would be respected and rights of property holders would
be upheld. Hysteria would have no place in the working out of
Home Rule.
Send for a copy of the Home Rule Amendment. Read the docu-
ment under which 121,000 voters attached their names. See
what your neighbor thinks is best for your own community.

Rule Your Home. Rule Your Community. Vote
for Home Rule and a Smaller Option Unit in Nov-
ember.
