TO GRAND LODGE CONVENTION

"Reach the Parents in
Americanization Work,"
Urges Rabbi Hershman

Forum Speaker Sees Danger of
Divupted Homes in Present
Methods—Isadore Levin to be
Next Forum Speaker.

That all attempts at Americaniz-
ing the Jew will prove a failure and
tend to become a prolific source of
danger unless, simultaneous with the
attemps at Americanization a move-
ment of Juilaization is launched, was
predicted in the forceful and timely
address of Rabbi A. NI. Hershman at
the Forum Luncheon of the B'nai
Britt' Club, Tuesday, January 6, at
its Club-rooms, 25 Broadway.
"Americanism and Judaism are in-
compatible," Rabbi Hershman declar-
ed." and yet great stress was laid
upon Americanization work and none
upon Judaization. 'flue result was
marked in the disruption of the bona , .
Father and son could not understand
one another. The father became the
'old man,' his ideas obsolete. The
mother lost the confidence of her
daughter.

The Pisgah Lodge Glee Club, organised several months ago under the
directorship of I. Leonard Braun, and which scored a distinct success at the
record breaking initiation of the Lodge held recently at the Statler Hotel when
it was heard for the first time publicly, has received an imitation from the Grand
Lodge to appear at the convention to be held in Chicago shortly.
The musical score for the Official Ode, composed by Mr. Braun and dedi-
cated to the Order, will be sung at the convention by the society, as well as other
musical numbers officially included in the ritual. Giving evidence of excellent
training and splendid harmony, the Glee Club bids fair to become one of the
most popular communal organizations in the city.

JACOB F. TEICHNER
DIES IN FAR WEST

Pioneer Resident of Detroit Passes

Away Suddenly in Los Angeles.

Jacob F. Teichner, prominent in
business and fraternal circles in De-
troit, and a resident of this city for
the past 63 years, died suddenly in
Los Angeles, Calif., Monday, Decem-
ber 29, after a few days' illness. The
untimely death of Mr. Teichner mark-
ed a tragic culmination of an intended
sojourn in the "Golden State" with

the Light Guard, and was also a
leading spirit in the Howard Dra-
matic Club, directing and acting in
many plays, writen for that organiza-
tion by the playright, the late Bron-
son Howard.
Mr. Teichner was a charter member
of Corinthian lodge, F. and A. M. and
had served as vice-president and
member of the board of directors of
the Phoenix Club. He was a mem-
ber of Congregation Beth
Besides the widow, he is survived
by two daughters, Mrs. Katherine
Rosenberger, widow of the late Oscar
Rosenberger, and Miss Miriam
Teichner who recently returned from
France where she served as a repre-
sentative of the Jewish Welfare
Board, and by three sisters, Mrs.
Sarah T. Berger, Mrs. Rosa T.
Rosenfield and Mrs. Adolph Sloman.
Funeral services were held at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Rosen-
berger, 123 Virginia Park, Monday
afternoon, Rabbi Leo M. Franklin
officiating. Internment took place at
Woodtnere Cemetery.

was 67 years of age,
Mr. Teichner is mourned by a wide
circle of friends in this city.
For
many years he was associated with
the M. S. Smith Co., the Middletown
Platt Co., and latterly represented
the Chicago Hosiery company.
As a young man he was a mem-
ber of the old Light Infantry, later

WARSAW—After being arrested
on the pretext that their passports
must be examined for irregularities,
sixty Vilna Jews, one of them an old
man of 75, and another a boy of 13,
were taken to the barracks, stripped,
and mercilessly tortured by I'olish
soldiers.
A Jewish delegation, consisting of
Doctors Shabad and Wigodski and
Rabbi Rubenstein, had gone the pre-
vious Saturday to the military com-
mandant to enter a protest at the
outrages which were being perpetrat-
ed against the Jews, but they had
been refused an audience.
Jewish members of the Vilna Town
Council brought the matter before the
council, which, after a closed ses-
sion, decided to send a delegation to
protest to the higher military com-
mand, Shabad and Wigodski declined
to be members of this delegation.
The "Yiddishe Zeitung" of Vilna re-
ports that Polish soldiers broke down
the fence and the tombstone at the
grave of the "Vilna Cohn," and also
desecrated many of the other graves
in the Vilna Jewish Cemetery, among
them that of Rabbi Samuel Landau.

Isadore Levin to Speak.

The Jew's Contribution,
"When we come to Americanize the
Jews we must say to them, 'You are
Jews. You have great ideas and
ideals. You have a noble conception
of life. Cling to those ideals with the
utmost tenacity. Jewry throughout
the world looks up to America. You
have something to give to America—
your Judaism. If you drop your
Judaism you cannot become a true
American.
That Americanization means more
than a knowldge of the English lan-
guage—that it an ethical task, a
spiritual duty that Jews should do
their utmost to further was brought
out forcefully in conclusion by Rabbi
Hershman.
The time has conic the speaker
explained, when every true Ameri-
can must feel that he is part and
parcel of America—that his fate is in-
timately bound up with the fate of
America with the fate of his fellow-
citizens—that the interests of Amer-
ica and the interests of his fellow re „
citizens are identical with his own
and that it is his duty to further
this interest to the best of his ability.
Our Debt to America.
"Every American must realize that
he owes to mankind at large a great
debt," Rabbi Hershman said in clos-
ing. "We are a democracy in the
making only. Our democracy is still
in the experimental stage. If we suc-
ceed in making and keeping America
safe for democracy, we shall be in-
strumental in making the wohle world
safe for democracy. If we fail in our

WARSAW.—Deputies Greenbaum

against the compulsory Sunday clos-
ing laws, which will force Jews to
keep their shops closed and do no
business on Sunday.

Deputy Greenbaum declared that
the enforcement of the law would
finally result in Poland not getting
control over Minsk, Vilna, and East-
ern Galicia. This statement aroused
the wrath of the Polish anti-Semites,
and many of the papers retaliated
with attacks upon Greenbaum and
the Jews generally. These papers are
now advising the Jews to leave the
country.

their souls.

Parents Must Be Reached.
"I believe it is absolutely necessary,
in the interest of Americanism, that
father and son, mother and daughter,
should understand one another..
There should be a mutual sympathy
between them. Americanism should
not be confined to young people. If
the older man does not understand
the language of his son, then the
son ought to understand the language
of his father. Our public schools, in
the interests of Americanization
ought to teach the children of im-
migrants the language of their fathers
so that they can converse with their
parents. Otherwise there will be a
gap between them, a breach that will
break down the home—that unit of
America that is the foundation of all
national glory. Our Americanism can
never survive the home.
The term "Americanization" the
speaker pointed out, unlike the popu-
lar conception, does not mean that
the foreigner collies empty-handed to
grasp all within his reach, without
offering anything in return.
"Civilization is the process of give
and take," the speaker declared.
Every group, race, nationality, is
both a borrower and a lender.' Each
receives by contributing and contri-
butes by receiving. Every constitu-
ent element of our American popula-
tion has brought with it something
peculiarly its own, making some valu-
able and distinctive contribution to
the cause of America.
"While diversity is the secret of
all growth and success, we all realize
that transcending all differences there
must be a unity of purpose and aim.
We may differ hour this aim is to he
reached, but that does not mater. The
new world must not he composed of
petty old worlds. A mere conglom-
eration of elements at cross-purposes
can never become a nation.
