SOLDIERS, SAILORS
TO GET FURLOUGHS

In response to the request of the
Jewish Welfare Board, the Secretary
of War has issued instructions to the
Army, and the Acting Chief of the
Bureau of Navigation has issued in-
structions to the Navy, to the effect
that Jewish men in the service be
granted furloughs wherever possible
to enable them to observe the New
Year (Rosh Ila-Shanah) and the Day
of Atonement (Yom Kippur).
The text of Secretary Weeks' in-
etructions is as follows:
"The Secretary of War desires, in
order to permit soldiers of the Jewish
faith to participate in the celebration
of II igh Holy Days (Rosh Ha-
Sheilah), beginning at sundown Mon-
day, Sept. 10, 1923, and continuing
until sundown Wednesday, Sept. 12,
1923, and of the Day of Atonement
(Yom Kippur), beginning at sundown
Wednesday, Sept. 19, 1923, and con-
tinuing until sundown Thursday,
Sept. 20, 1923, that members of that
faith be granted furloughs for such
time as necessary to permit them to
he at their homes, when practicable,
or at places where these clebrations
are held, from Sept. 9 to Sept. 14,
and from Sept. IS to Sept. 21, 1923,
provided no interference with-the pub-
lic service is occasioned thereby."
The instructions issued by the Navy
Department are to the same effect,

Drutorrir,msn (ARON ica.r.

and it is expected that the U. S. Vet-
erans' Bureau will also issue a circu-
lar letter granting leave to those men,
whose physical condition permits, to
go home.
Accordingly, a large number of sol-
diers, sailors, marines and disabled
veterans will be able to observe these
holidays with their families at home.
For those men who will not be able
to leave their posts, the board has
made arrangements for hospitality,
including 'male and lodging, in com-
munities adjacent to the camps and
hospitals, and for attendance at re-
ligious services. Special provision will
be made for disabled men, who will be
visited by volunteer committees and
the field representatives of the board.
Arrangements for the observance of
the High Holy Days have already
been made for the men in the outlying
stations comprising China, Manila,
Hawaii, Panama and Haiti, by the
representatives of the board. Prayer
books for the High Holy Days are be-
ing distributed as are also New Year
greeting cards for correspondence
with relatives and friends.

HITLER PERSECUTION
IS ORDERED DROPPED

BERLIN.—(J. T. A.)—The Minis-
try of Justice has confirmed the re-
port that the government prosecutor
was ordered not to take legal proceed-
ings against Adolph Hitler, for his
recent conspiracy against the German
Republic. A statement to this effect
was made by the Socialist Deputy
K untner.
Minister of Justice Ileinze, the So-
cialist deputy said, had admitted that
proceedings against the anti-Semitic
Fasciati leader, were dropped al-
though he was legally culpable.

It is a father's duty not only to
provide for his minor children, but
also to take care of their instruction,
and to teach his son a trade and
whatever is necessary for his future
welfare.--The Talmud.
