We gather tha English Jews. kescly resent the antioned stale». ment that Troixi is a Jew. They point to the fact at Mr. Samual | Gompers and General Sir John Monash, to mention only two die tinguished representatives of the Allies, are also Jewa. They re-

mind as, too, that when Trotsky was asked by a Jewish deputation for some minor concessions for the Feset of Passover be declared that nothing Jewish had sny interest for him. We are told, by the way, that the messina of Mirbech and Uritzky (the Bolshevik Home Secretary) ware Jews, and that the girl who shot Lenin was a Jewess.

US. Universities.

To ensure the speedy training (uf between 63,000 and 70,000 officers for America's new Armies,

(Roman Catholic), and New York Universities that ordinary curri- culum will be totally abandoned. These thres establishments will be organized as training camps. Columbia University alons expecta to enrol 4,000 Army students, who will wear uniforms, receive | regular Army pay, live in barraoks, and be subject generally to military discipline. The GoT ernment will pay the universities for the board tuition, sad lodging of the Army students.
