1"*" N the pj'esence of a great concourse of people reijrcsonting the Temple Israel Brotherhood, The Rose E. Lazarus Sisterhood, and the ConjjreKation of Temple Israel, Jiid^^e Robert S. Marx, of Chicago, delivered a ^lo^st inspiring address last Tues¬ day evening, May 24th, at the Southern Hotel, on "The Jews of America and Henry Ford," poinlin^ out the harm that the veloci¬ pede manufacturer of Detroit has done to our co-religionista in this land and in other lands by his anti-Jewish propagiinda in his infamous "Dearborn Independent."    [, J^^
The Judge's address was in subljffince as follows: "Henry Ford has woefully misrepresented us; in hia subsidized magazine and has sought to give the world the impression that we are a race of traitors, grafters, and crooks. Every felony in the crimi¬ nal code has he attributed to us. He has charged us with foste^ ing and encouraging bolshevism, socialism, unionism, as well as* capitalism and plutocracy.
In his series of articles on "The International Jew," he indictei the House of Israel throughout the world. That Jews have de-^ filed and degraded the American Theatre, that they have been ringleaders in the white slave traffic, that they have sought to exploit their fellow-Christians in the United, States are some of the allegations he has directed against us,
"In his most recent series of articles, he came out and de¬ clared that we were guilty of exploiting the farmers of the United States, and that a J^w by the name of Aaron Sapiro was the directing genius of this conspiracy. Such splendid men as Eugene Meyer, of Washington, D. C, Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, Albert Lasker, also of Chicago, Bernard Baruch, of New York, and Paul Warburg, also of New York, were libeled and slandered by him in. connection with this most recent charge."

A Profound ImprcRRion
Jiidj,'e Marx marie a profound impres¬ sion by iiib cloiiucnl and concibc presen¬ tation of the cahe of the Jew versus Henry Ford, and proved beyond a shadow of doubt to his auditors, labt Tuesday night, that the allegations made by the Petroit anti-Scniilc were not only ground¬ less but utterly false, inalici9us and un¬ sound.
The Jews, he said, compose approx¬ imately 3% of the American population. During the war, however, they composed four percent of the Army, the Navy, jnd the Marine^ Corps. In addition to their draft quota, he a«;scrted, they fur¬ nished 100,000 men to 'the lighting forces of   the  United   States.     He  pohited  ont
also that they did not confine their acti¬ vities to non-combatant organi.<:ations, for' iUty-two percent in the war served in the Infantry. The Quarter Master Corps during the war comprised six per cent of the entire army, yet only five per cent of that branch of the service was composed of Jews. The famous "Lost Battalion", he said, was largely Jewish and the run¬ ner who broke through the Gorman lines after several men had lost their lives in the attempt and saved the Battalion was a tittle Jewish barber of -Kew York'$ lower Eabt Side—Abraham Kretoshinsky. More Irish Than the Irish Many well known niTiccrs declared that in the_ fighting lines the Jews were more {Continued on page 4)
