of the Free Synagogue, New York,
speaking at Elks' Temple Thursday
night, under the auspices of Pisgah
Lodge, No. 34, I. 0. B. B., issued a
warning that if these men prevail,
the country will suffer from war,
perpetual and recurrent.
Dr. Wise's address on "Personal
Impressions of the Peace Confer-
ence," the first of a series of five
speakers to national repute to be per-
sented to Detroit audiences by Pisgah
Lodge at intervals during the next
few months, was heard by an aud-
ience that taxed the capacity of the
large auditorium. All sects and
creeds, all shades of religious opinion
were represented in that large gather-
abbi Samuel S. Mayerberg, Chair-
man of the Intellectual Advancement
Committee of the B'nai Brith, in in-
troducing the speaker declared that
the lecture course represented but one
phase of the activities of the Order
and its purpose to be of communal
service both to its membership and
to the citizenry of Detroit.
"Pisgah Lodge is trying to be of
service by furthering the intellectual
life of this community," said Rabbi
Mayerberg. "'To this end we have
arranged a course of lectures to be
given by men who stand out in Jew-
ish life as well as in public life. Dr.
Stephen S. Wise, the first speaker in
the course, is nationally and internat-
ionally known as a fearless leader, a
man who speaks ouCthe truth as he
sees it. As one of the outstanding
Jewish figures at the l'eace Confer-
ence, he is keenly familiar with and
thoroughly qualified to speak on the
subject he has chosen."
forged—and shall be maintained with
that nation."
Dr. Wise pronounced President
Wilson to he "far and above the
greatest figure at the Conference—
one who spoke the language of all
mankind at the Peace Conference,"
but denied that he was the author of
the League of Nations.
"Woodrow Wilson is no more the
author of the League of Nations than
any man on this platform. No one
man deserves the honor or the credit.
If any man in the world deserves
credit for initiating and doing most
on behalf of the League, that man is
William Howard Taft.

The Jews of Budapest have formed

men were enrolled. A group of Jew-

I wish to congratulate you Oil the splendid impres-
sion the Duo-.Irt Piano made last night in Detroit.
We performed the Saint-Saens Concerto with Harold
Bauer 's interpretation as soloist, and the public as well
as the orchestra and I Tvere greatly impressed with the
remarkable fidelity of the Duo-Art in reproducing
Batter's brilliant rendition of that composition. The
concert was a complete success.
(Signed) OSSIP GABRILOIVITSCH.
Such praise from this eminent pianist, composer and
orchestral conductor—the fact that the Duo-Art Pianola
Piano has also appeared as soloist with great orchestras in
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco and Wash-
ington, D. C., as well as Detroit—and that such renowned
pianists as Paderewski, I lofmann, Ganz, Grainger, Hutcheson,
Powell, Shattuck, Bauer, Gabrilowitsch and others of like
genius and fame make rolls for the Duo-Art Pianola Piano
EXCLUSIVELY, surely have but one meaning—they tell
clearly and definitely of musical quality and perfection of
reproduction vastly superior to that of any other instrument!
