nation, laid aside their weapons of war today to observe Rosh Hashana, or the New Year's Day. The above
picture shows Day of Atonement services held by the Jewish soldiers in the German army during- the Franco
Prussian War, and presents a scene that is being enacted in the rival armies of Europe today.
