WomensClubs A' N APPEAL for the support of the fore the Council of Jewish Women at the Concordia Club yesterday afternoon by Rabbi Arthur S. Montas, recently elected to the conservattce congrega tion at Ahavl Sholom. "The Zionist movement lajiow a Jew ish movement," said Rabbi Montaz. "It has become a world movement. It is to the interest of the world at large that the homeless Jews of Eastern Eu rope be returned. to their home land Palestine, and surely the least we for tunate Jews of America can do is to give our support, moral and financial. Rabbi Montas gave a short history of Zionism, which dates from the year 70 of the common era to the present day. Formerly it had existed solely as a religious movement, and it was not until 1880 that the Austrian Hertzel established it on a political basis. In which form it flourishes today. "The only true way we Jews can de velop our Jewish consciousness and rise above the racial prejudices which we are forced to combat on all sides is to embrace Zionism." said Rabbi Interest centers In the Informal ball to be given by the Portland Transpor telling me tation Club Friday evening at Cotillion Montaz.

Hospital life at the" front just prior to the signing of the armistice, con trasted with hospital experiences dur ing the German offensive of last August, is described in a letter re ceived in Portland from Miss Shirley Eastham, member of the first -woman's overseas hospital unit. The letter was not dated, but it was mailed from France, November 10.- Miss Eastham is, the daughter of Mrs. P. F. Morey, and her engagement to Lieutenant Alfred Millard, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Millard, of New York City, was announced in the last issue of the Sunday Oregonian. Both young people are. well known in Port land society circles. Miss Eastham hav ing attended the Portland Academy be fore completing her education at an eastern finishing school, and Mr. Mil lard owning a large ranch and Sum mer home near Hood River. "When the civilians find we are Americans they burst into teats and shower us with compliments about our brave and glorious soldiers, who have freed them from the Boche and eaved Paris from destruction," the letter states. "We meet American soldiers everyhwere and they have told us that there is no fun at the front, because the Germans are running away, and it is too strenuous to keep up with them. Wounded Enter by Mistake. "It was hard to think that at least half of our patients were American boys, whom we were eo happy to be taking care of for the first time. The hospital system, which is so famous during lulls, was entirely de moralized during the greatest of all drives, and hundreds of American boys descended upon us by mistake, with no one to direct anything and all their papers containing a diagnosis of each case having been written at an Amer ican field dressing station in English. There were Just eight of us here whe .spoke English, and 3500 beds, all occu pied at the time. Wounded Men Patient. "Some of them lay on a stretcher for three days without a murmur. Just waiting their time- to be attended to. and we found that many of them had nothing on their wounds but a strip of a coat or an old muffler, or perhaps a legging wrapped around it by eome comrade on the field. During those awful days we were bombarded every night by Hun planes. sometimes 30 and 40 at a time. In the middle of the night, with stretchers filling all the aisles and a long pro cession waiting to get in, with doctors and nurses rushing madly about, one would hear a horrible crash and won der if it were the next barricade or only in the next field. "Bombs were dropped all around us many times, but only actually on our grounds three times. One memorable night 18 poor men were killed instantly and 34 badly wounded. We heard dreadful explosions going on all around us and could see an enormous blaze, which we knew to be incendiary bombs In the aviation field right next to us. There was dead silence in the room where we had been chatting during th raid. We knew, of course, that the hos pital had been struck and thought It was the main part of the building; but after a minute or so, when the noise had subsided somewhat, we heard screams and people rushing back and forth. We could see bits of canvas and bedding hanging from the trees. Those who had escaped Instant death were rushed into the operating-room at once and in a few minutes ambulances be gan -to arrive with wounded aviators from the fields adjoining, where 150 incendiary bombs had been dropped a few minutes before.
