Baker approves bill to appoint Jewish army chaplains
Secretary of War Baker backs a bill by Senator Sheppard to add army chaplains so Jewish soldiers receive religious representation. Currently the War Department cannot appoint Jewish chaplains. Selig Deutschman of San Antonio and Jewish workers nationwide have long urged this law. The bill is expected to pass in a few weeks and Baker will name the chaplains, some on Sheppard’s recommendation.
