Committee decided to liquidate its
work abroad, the hospitals and clinics
of the Hadassah Medical Organiza-
tion in Palestine were supported by
the American Hadassah, the Keren
Hayesod and the Joint Distribution
Committee. With the liquidation of
the last named, Haddassah has been
called upon to increase its support so
as to cover the amount heretofore
contributed by the joint Distribu-
tion Committee, and a recommenda-

that the Keren Hayesod be relieved
from making any further contribu-
tions to the Hadassah Medical Organi-

If this proposal is accepted by the
delegates, it will mean that Hadas-

over $500,000 to meet the needs of
the Palestine hospitals and clinics,
provide for its infant welfare work,

New York, June 17, (J. T. A.) —
The question of proper Jewish mark-
ers on the graves of American Jew-
ish soldiers who fell in France dur-
ing the World War was dealt with in
a statement issued today by Dr.
Cyrus Adler, chairman of the Army
and Navy Committee of the Jewish
Welfare Board.
“A resolution adopted by the Six- ■
ty-eighth Congress authorized the
erection of durable markers on the
graves of American soldiers in the
cemeteries in France on and speci-
fically provided for the Star of David
markers on the graves of American
Jewish soldiers. The Jewish Welfare
Board will see to it that the Magen
David markers will be placed on the
graves of the Jewish dead”, Dr.
Adler declared.
“An editorial in the American Is-
raelite of June 4, and the reprint
from the American, Israelite in the
‘Jewish Daily Bulletin’ of June 8th
with reference to a report by one of
the correspondents of the Israelite
that the graves of Jewish soldiers,
whose remains were left in France,
are ‘marked by crosses, in the center
of which there appears a small Shield
of David’, have been brought to my
attention.
“Let me say that the Jewish Wel-
fare Board has given constant at-
tention to the matter of markers
over the graves of American Jewish
soldiers. Crosses were erected over
the graves during the very early
period of actual warfare, but as a
result of representations of the Jew-
ish W elf are Board, the then secre-
tary of War issued instructions in
February 1918 to have the Star of
David markers erected over the
graves of the Jewish dead. An of-
ficial order to that effect was again
issued in February 1919 by General
Pershing. The transfere bar of the
cross was removed, and a Mogen
David was placed upon the remain-
ing vrtical pole. When later, thro-
ugh the cooperation of the Jewish
Welfare Board, which undertook the
identification of Jewish soldiers dead,
the Red Cross, and the Graves Regis-
tration Service, these tar of mark-
ers were erected, photographs of the
estine as a citizen of the country”,
the Mayor of Tel Aviv declared.
Special tribute was paid by the
speakers to Lady Samuel who, dur-
ing the five years of her husband’s
administration in Palestine, has car-

As to the political demands of
