the very outset of the war was recog-
nized by the government authorities
as an indispensable adjunct of the
military organization. The Y. M. C.
A. and the Knights of Columbus early
saw the need of providing for Prot-
estant and Roman Catholic young
men in the service, the healthful re-
laxation, the mental uplift, and the
opportunity for religious observance,
which would insure the physical and
spiritual well-being of the men, and
counteract the evil influences and in-
numerable temptations which are a
part of the life of the fighting man,
removed as he is from the restraining
influences of family and friends.
Later, the Commission of Training
Camp Activities and the War Camp'
Community Service undertook to sup-
plement the work already accom-
plished by these other agencies.
The Jewish Welfare Board repre-
sents still another effort to give to the
men in the cantonments and on the
battle-line the humanizing touch of
friendly interest and of sympathy,
which makes the whole world kin. It
is distinct from, but supplemental to
the work of the Y. M. C. A., the
Knights of Columbus, and the other
Welfare agencies; doing for the Jew-
ish youth in the ranks, what other
groups are doing for those of other
faiths.

seeks to take nothing front the scope
or usefulness of any of the other wel-
fare organizations, but rather to com-
bine with them, to insure that the
Jewish soldiers and sailors shall not
lack any of the comforts, any of the
solace, or any of the guidance, which,
under the trying conditions of their
new experiences, they often so sorely
need.
Much has already been accom-
plished, but more remains to be done.
The Board first of all recognizes that
there is no idea in the work under-
taken of segregating the Jew from his
Gentile brother-in-arms.
The idea is, indeed, to assist the
Jewish youth in such a manner as
shall enable him most readily to har-
monize with the conditions surround-
ing him, to fraternize with his non-
Jewish comrades, to have a better un-
derstanding of the point of view of
those of other beliefs, and in turn
to enable the non-Jew to have a bet-
ter understanding of him.
This is not to be achieved by giv-
ing up our Jewish ideals, the precepts
of our religious training, or the ob-
servances of our faith. It is rather
to be accomplished by adherence to
the faith of our fathers and to those
moral and religious principles which
constitute our Jewish heritage.
It is to give to the Jewish soldier,
as far as the war may permit, the op-
portunity of remaining loyal to his
training no less than to make up for
the deficiencies of camp life, that the
Jewish Welfare Board was organized.
