World War, the marvelous service which it rendered

to the men overseas and to those in camps in
this country, the co-operation that it had received
from the government as well as from the many
kindred organizations hers and abroad and the
yeoman work that it has done in the better organ-
ization of Jewish communal life in this land. With
the consolidation of the Jewish Welfare Board
with the National Council of Young Men's Hebrew
and Kindred Organizations which took effect on
July 1, 1921, the work was concentrated upon the
improvement and perfection of existing communal
institutions which took effect on July 1, 1921, the
work was concentrated upon the improvement and
Perfection of existing communal institutions and
the establishment of new ones where they did not
exist before. Dr. Adler tells his story as an eye
witness and chief worker in all the various accom-
plishments of this important agency in American
Jewish life, which has established a marvelous
record in our annals.
Prof. Joseph Klausner of the Hebrew Univer-
sity in Jerusalem, ,resents a comprehensive view
of the activities of this great institution of learn-
ing which is about to celebrate the 20th anni-
versary of its existence. The university has been
regarded by Zionists and non-Zionists alike as the
institution that should command the interest and
support of all Jews who are still conscious of their
Jewishness and desirous of its nerpetuation. Dr.
Klausner'. narrative of the various departments
of the university aid the work accomplished there
will be read with deep interest by all Jews. Samuel
B. Finkel adds a brief description of the part
taken by American Jews in the upbuilding of the
university and in its maintenance by the American
Friends of the Hebrew University, the organiza-
tion of which he is the director.
The biographies of two outstanding American
Jews who died during the year, Judge Simon
Wolfe Rosendale and Prof. Richard J. H. Gott-
hell, together with their portraits, are presented by
intimate friends, S. Herbert Cone and Rev. Dr.
Louis I. Newman respectively, who approach their
'objects with love and admiration, preserving at
the same time the objectivity that is important in
the case of any biographer. In the case of the
life of Dr. Gottheil, we obtain a glimpse of the
early beginnings of the Zionist movement in Amer-
ica and the part which the departed took in it.
la Judge Rosendale's biography, we learn of his
Presiding at the organization meeting which
brought the Jewish Publication Society into exist-
ence, and his service as an officer of the Society
during the balance of his life.
As in the past, the Year Book includes various
directories, lists and statistics concerning the Jews.
Basing its figures upon official statistics and re-
liable estimates, it places the number of Jews is
the world at a total of 15,524,621. Of these,
9,390,113 reside in Europe, 593,736 in Africa,
774,049 in Asia, 26,954 in Australasia. and 4,739,-
769 in America. Thus, according to the Year
Book, 60.49 per cent live is Europe, 30.53 per cent
in America, 4.99 per cent in Asia, 3.82 per cent
is Africa, and 0.17 per cent in Australasia.
The volume concludes with the 20th annual re-
port of the. American Jewish Committee and the
49th annual report of the Jewish Publication So-
ciety. A wealth of useful and accurate informa-
tion is here preserved, both for the modern reader
and for the future historian, much of which can-
not be found anywhere else.
The American Jewish Year Book was first print-

by Robert W. Horton, Washington correspondent
of the New York World-Telegram. Ilorton wrote:
