Look at the rec- ord. make a study of the young leadership, and ycu will find that many of the rising stars on the Jewish firmament are young people with splendid backgrounds and family traditions for Jewish inter- ests. The Warburgs.„ and the Ro- senwalds and the Marshalls are not the only shining lights. Look in on the office of the Council for Democracy on West 42nd Street in New York. Yeti will find. in responsible jobs, young people with well-known names. There is Miss Sara M. Lamport, the daughter of the late Samuel C. Lamport. who is dedicating herself to the task of spreading the demo- cratic ideal. Then there is Ray- mond S. Rubinow, son of the late Dr. leitac M. Rubinow, who was in his day one of the outstanding so- cial workers in America. Anti to top it off, Marshall • D. Shulman, the Executive Vice-Presi- dent of Council for Democracy—a very responsible job for a very young man—hails from a promi- nent midwestern family. His par- ents, the Harry M. Shulmans of Detroit, are active in many fields, and one of the best-known mem- bers of this family was the late Max Shulman of Chicago. • • • OUR JEWISH WARRIORS Samuel H. Abramson of the Jew- ish Section of the Interfaith Com- mittee for Aid to the Democracies has compiled some interesting fig- ures. Jewish names, he show - , are very conspicuous in the Canadian forces. The Cohens are especially prominent. So are the Goldbergs and the Friedmans and the Green- bergs—and also the Abramscens, about which our research man boas tx.-- More amazing, however, is the following observation made by Mr. Abramson. "Close study of the lists revealed other interesting information. For instance, there are two Jewish boys in the army named RIFLE, and one named GUNN. There are alsc a number of Jewish soldiers, sailors and airmen who bear such flee old Jewish names as Chapman, Collins, Cameron, Campbell, Clapham, Chambers, Costello, Cripps, Evans, Hillier, Hyde, James, Jolley, Joff- rey, Keene. Kerr, King. Leighton, Livermore, Marshall, Moore, Mor- gan and Thomson. But the real gems are the names Donavan Thornclick, Albert James Windsor, Robert Christensen and Hugh Jar- Vs Bedell, all borne by brave Jews wearing his Majesty's uniform." Which suggest that the study of Jewish participation in the war be supplemented with a sociological study of name-changing and name- adoption by Jews. The English can perhaps tell an even more interesting tale. During the early days of the war it was difficult to ascertain the number of Jews in the British military forces, because so many cf our boys were afraid lest they run into trouble if caught prisoners by the Nazis. Today the story is entirely different, and there is a spirit of confidence and courage that surpasses all previous records. R. ADLERSTEIN Just as, in the 'minds of most people, the name of Freud is sy- nonymous with psychoanalysis, and the name of Edison with the elec- tric light, so the name of Henrietta Szold signifies Hadassah. Yet, bow many know that Henrietta Szold was in her sixtieth year when she began the great adventure of her life—the task of formulating and directing American medical aid in Palestine? And how many know that, had she followed the advice Won to demand the discontinuance of its "anti-government, isolationist policy." He declared that the policies hitherto pursued were harmful to the interests of over 25,000 stock- holders, The article by Milton Mayer, "The Case Against the Jew", was cited as typical of the offensive policies. As a result of holding Jews up to "ridicule and contempt", Mr. Wan- derman contends, good will has been lost in circulation and advertising. she engaged in several extraneous activities, among them serving as the Baltimore correspondent of the New York Jewish Messenger, one of the earliest Anglo-Jewish papers in America. Henrietta Szold's first significant contribution to the social structure of Baltimore began in 1889 when, following the influx into Baltimore of large numbers of Rieesian immi- 1 grants from the violence and star- vation caused by the notorious May Laws of 1882, she founded a MISS HENRIETTA SZOLD of her doctor and retired to some rural retreat at the age of sixty, she would yet have been known as one of the most eminent women of her time—an educator, a scholar, a social worker? Few women of our or any other generation have lived as full a life as Henrietta Szold, and even fewer have reached the age of 82 in so vigorous and mentally youthful a state. In "Henrietta Szold—Life and Letters," (Viking Press, $3.00) Marvin Lowenthal has carefully followed the professional and per- sonal career of a purposeful, warm- hearted and capable woman. He has succeeded, by means of skill- . fully selected excerpts from her humorous letters to family . and friends, and by clean-cut, unsenti- mental narrative, in giving us a full-length portrait. AT LINCOLN . FUNERAL Henrietta Szold's earliest mem- ory is that of being raised on her father's shoulders so that she might peer through the window of the family home on Eutaw St. in Baltimore to see. the funeral pro- cession of Abraham Lincoln. She was 4 at the time. From her father's teachings, and through the conclusions reached by her own nimble brain, Henrietta learned that Judaism was a way of life. Following her graduation from Western Female High School, Hen- rietta returned to the school as a teacher. Within a brief period, and for 15 years thereafter, she taught at the Misses Adams' school, a private institution. CORRESDONDENT, TEACHER Never one to be content with less than 16 hours of work a day, GENEVA (JPS) —Further evi- dence that Julius Streicher, No. 1 anti-Semitic in Germany after his master Hitler, is no longer in the good graces of the Third Reich, is the fact that he has been re- placed as Gauleiter of Franconia, Bavaria. His successor is Hans Zimmerman, the Nuremberger Zei- tung reported. gift from the ,directors of the Jew- ish Publication Society enabled her to extend it to Palestine. This was the journey, in Mr. Lowenthal's words, "to a world where all the paths of life joined into one road, a steep, rocky and tortuous road, but this time a road without end." HER FIELD IN ZION . Writing to a friend from Jerusa- lem she spoke of its beauty, interest and problems. With what we may now regard as pleasing irony, she added: "If I were 20 years younger, I would feel that my field is here." It was not until she was 11 years older that she actually went forth to claim and till her "field." When, in 1920, she finally reached Palestine, she found "a poor, hard land rendered poorer and harder by the World War. A sizeable Jewish immigration had barely got under way, and the ring night school for them. The first term, 30 pupils registered.

Here she first task was to organize the Keneset Israel—union of Jewish communi- ties of Palestine. The process was a difficult one, but she made much progress. Henrietta Szold is in Palestine today—revered, consulted and still active in many phases of social and educational work. More than any- one else, she scoffs at the tributes which are paid her, but carries on in the "way of life" which is, to her, true Judaism.
