UNANIMOUSLY RE-ELECT
OFFICERS FOR 1920-21
A constructive and stimulating pro-
gram for its second year— to include
classes for the study of Jewish his-
tory, a course of lectures by speakers
of national repute, a number of so-
cial evenings, the formation of a dra-
matic club and various other under-
takings were outlined at the annual
meeting of the Men's Temple Club
held at Temple Beth El, Thursday,
October 7.
The following officers were unani-
mously re-elected; president, Walter
S. Heavenrich; vice-president, Mel-
ville S. Welt; treasurer, Wallace
Rosenheim. Morris Garrett was
elected secretary to fill the vacancy
created by the resignation of Joseph
J. Cummins.
Dr. Morris Silver. Sidney Fechimer
and Jacob Mazer were elected direc-
tors for three years. Other members
on the board of directors whose terms
have not expired are NValter Fuchs,
Arthur L. Cohen, Henry D. Marks
and Irving L. Hirschman.
Disseminate Jewish Teachings.
President Heavenrich, in making
his report to the society, emphasized
the object of the Men's Temple Club
which is to conserve and promote
the Jewish religion and to encourage
all efforts for the dissemination of its
teachings among the men of Temple
Beth El and the members of their
households; to further the spirit of
fellowship and co-operation among
the members of the Congregation; to
afford an opportunity to members for
the development of their talents; to
provide social entertainments at regu-
lar intervals; to create among the
members of the Temple an esprit de
corps to the end that the causes spon-
sored by the Congregation, religious,
educational, social and philanthropic,
may be steadily advanced.
Mr. Heavenrich pointed out the
outstanding events in the brief his-
tory of the club beginning with its
"Get-Together" dinner in January.
The Father and Son meeting held
later and the outing at David Brown's
farm were two other social enter-
prises of the year. Along educational
lines, the Club presented several noted
speakers among whom were Mrs.
Cornelia S. Parker of New York, and
David A. Brown. A series of three
concerts given at the Temple by the
Symphony String Quartet was like-
wise sponsored by the Men's Temple
Club.
"l believe we can do much more
on the side of social and educational
affairs and vastly more to further our
religious endeavors," Mr. Heavenrich
declared. "In much that we desired
to accomplish we were hampered by
lack of means, and a resolution will
he placed before you tonight to in-
crease our annual dues. We have
grown from a membership of 145 to
300, but our roster should include
every male member of Temple Beth
El.
Will Aid Celebration.
"Now a word as to our future. We
have mapped out a course of three
or four lectures on present day topics
—some with religious signficance. On
election night we will have a Western
Union ticker and receive election re-
turns. To this the ladies also will be
invited. We have in mind the forma-
tion of classes in Jewish Literature
or History, or on Modern Events, in
their relation to Jewish welfare. We
expect to aid in the celebration of
the 70th anniversary of Temple Beth
El. We may be called upon in the
matter of raising funds for certain
Jewish objects. We expect to give
at least one play with talent chosen
from our membership. Above all,
your officers hope to keep before you
the great necessity—at this time even
more so than ever before—to attend
Temple services and show to our
enemies pressing us from all sides,
strong and united front. God grant
'that no more serious work than this
be placed before us, for never did the
times for Israel appear darker and
ve more foreboding.
"We have been groping somewhat,"
said Mr. Heavenrich in conclusion,
"We have erred somewhat, but we
feel and know that this society is now
a living thing, slowly but surely gath-
ering momentum. It is bound to be-
come a vital and important factor in
Temple Beth El and so in Judaism,
ever widening the circle of its ac-
tivities, and carrying its beneficient
influence through all the highways
and byways of Detroit Jewry."
Thanks were extended in the Presi-
dent's report to the officers, to Rabbi
Leo M. Franklin and his former asso-
ciate, Rabbi Samuel S. Mayerberg.
to Mr. and Mrs. David A. Brown for
their hospitality, and to Dr. M. Sil-
ver, Jasob Mazer and Edward C.
Frank for their efforts in arranging
the August outing.
Other speakers at the meeting were
Dr. Franklin, Isaac Goldberg, Adolph
Freund, Mayer Sulzberger, Samuel
Hoexter, Dr. Bernstein and Melville

D. C.—"Though
the physical aspect of the Jerusalem
of 1920 will remind the visitor of the
Biblical Jerusalem he will realize a
change from the cosmopolitan char-
acter of the crowds with whom he
rubs shoulders on the streets," says
a second bulletin front the Washing-
ton, D. C. headquarters of the Na-
tional Geographic Society concern-
ing the floly City.
In the days of Christ, Jews were
the dominant element in the popu-
lation though there were numerous
representative, of the conquering Ro-
man Empire. In addition there was
the sprinkling of traders of the east-
ern countries that was to be found
in all cities of that day that were easy
of access by water or situated on tm•
portant caravan routes. But the
streets of the Jerusalem of today
show forth more diverse types and
smite the car with a more compli-
cated Babel of tongues than any other
city in the world. This is not strange
when it is recalled that Christianity
has been carried into practically all
lands and that from most of them
pilgrims journey to the fountain of
their religion.
"When the British took over the
city in 1917 a proclamation was is-
sued permitting correspondence in IS
enumerated languages but stating that
communications written in other lan-
guages would be destroyed.
City Sacred to Many.
"Americans who do not realize the
many divisions into which Christian-
ity has fallen may learn much by a
walk along the streets of the Holy
City. There one will meet sandaled
or barefooted Greek, Latin and Ar-
menian priests, sisters of various or-
ders from the numerous convents sit-
uated within and without the walls,
Protestant ministers of various sects,
and pilgrims, sonic somberly, some
colorfully dressed, from every land
tinder Heaven. Mingled in the
streams of Christians and Jews he
will see Turks and Arabs and tower-
ing Indian Mussulmans, for Jerusalem
is not alone dear and sacred to the
hearts of the Israelites; it is the Holy
City of the Christians; while the fol-
lowers of Mohammed hold it only
second in sacredness to Mecca it-
self.
"One of the most interesting edi-
fices in Jerusalem is the Church of
the Holy. .Sepulcher, originally built
by Constantine the Great after he
embraced Christianity. There i3 a
star in the pavement which, the visi-
tor is told, marks (be burial place of
Adam.
"It is in the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher that the great Easter cere-
monies are held during which almost
every year lives are lost in the surg-
ing, crushing crowd of pilgrims. Dur-
ing these celebrations flames issue
from blackened holes in the walls on
each side of the sepulcher. The pil-
grims are told that this is holy fire
sent down from Heaven, and an ex-
cited scramble ensues to light candles
from the mystic flame. The remains
of the candles are taken to the ends
of the earth as holy souvenirs.
Beautiful "Place of the Temple."
"Jerusalem's most beautiful spot is
the 'Place of the Temple.' It is as
well the place of most general inter-
est for it is holy ground to Jew,
Christian and Mohammedan. There
the early Israelites made their burnt
offerings to Jehovah; there Solomon
raised the noble and wonderful pile,
one of the most famous of temples,
for the choice materials of which he
scoured the known world; and there,
after Jerusalem fell into the hands of
the Moslems, they built a series of
mosques to Allah and his Prophet.

With appropriate ceremonies a
class of 100 was inducted into Pisgah
Lodge, No. 34, F. O. B. B., at a regu-
lar meeting held Monday, Oct. 11, at
its lodge rooms, 25 Broadway. The
degree team, consisting of Joseph
Garrett, chairman; Milton 2sf. Alex-
ander, Charles Rosenthal, Louis Bass
and Morris Klein, officiated at the
ceremonies.
Three important committees were
appointed by President Ginsburg.
One, headed by Robert Finn, was in-
structed to make a thorough survey
of the city with a view to finding
larger quarters for the housing of
B'nai Brith activities. Louis Frank
and Hyman Keidan are assisting Mr.
Finn in the investigation. Another
committee was instructed to bring in
suggestions as to ways and means of
financing the plan. A third commit-
tee will determine the advisability of
promoting the project as a Commun-
ity building or a It'nai !frith building.
Work has already been begun by
these committees and their reports
will be heard at an early meeting of
the lodge.
Mr. Julian H. Krolik gave a splen-
did address in behalf of the coming
Community Fund Drive. He urged
the B'nai Brith to do its share as the
biggest and one of the most impor-
tant single Jewish fraternal bodies in
the country. Failure in this drive,
Mr. Krolk explained, would mean go-
ing back to the old method of in-
dividual gathering of funds by various
organizations of the city. It would
mean, he pointed out, the old duplica-
tion of effort, the inflated expense of
collection and distribution and a re-
turn of conditions against which so-
cial workers have been protesting for
many years. •
It is expected that Judge Harry B.
Keidan, presiding judge of the Muni-
cipal court, will speak at the next
regular meeting to take place in the
lodge rooms, Monday, Oct. 18. Judge
Keidan's subject has not been an-
nounced.
REFUSE TO DETRACT.
Warsaw—General Sosnowski, the
presiding officer of the Military Com-
mission in the Polish Seim, refused to
entertain the demand of Deputy
Greenbaum that the official accusa-
tions with regard to the disloyalty of
Jews which were recently issued in
the form of statements by the Polish
general staff and which have since
been officially disproven, should be de-
tracted. In the course of the discus-
sion General Sosnowski stated that
out of 251 soldiers sentenced to death,
66 were Jews.
Great excitement has been caused
here by the refusal of Deputy Rabbi
Perlmutter to sign the interpolation
which Deputy Hartglas submitted to
the Polish Seim in connection with
the attack made upon Rabbi Sucho-
wolsky when his beard was cut off.
SCHIFF WOULD ABIDE BY LAW—
BUT FABLE TAUGHT WAY TO HELP
IN the "Jewish Daily News" of Sep-
tember 29th, Mr. Philip Gossin
relates the following:
"It was in the latter part of De-
cember, 1915, while John Purroy
Mitchell was mayor of New York.
"Due to the persecution of the
police about three thousand Jewish
standkeepers seemed to be in danger
of loosing their means of livelihood.
The Commissioner of Licenses had
unearthened an old regulation which
prohibited the standkeepers from sell-
ing candy, cigarettes and tobacco and
this regulation was being taken ad-
vantage of.
"A committee of the standkeepers
appealed to the "Jewish Daily News"
for help.
"At that time it was no secret to
anyone that Mr. Jacob H. Schiff the
great Jewish philanthropist, was a
personal friend of the late Mayor
Mitchell. The editor requested me to
go and see Mr. Schiff, relate to him
the facts in the case and induce him
to intervene with the Mayor.
"To approach the great Jewish
financier who had financially created
kingdoms, was a matter of not the
slightest difficulty especially so where
his poor brethren was concerned. As
soon as I handed my card to the
doorman at the offices of Kuhn, Loeb
& Company he conducted me into the
private office of Mr. Schiff where the
grey-headed financier greeted me with
a smiling "Good morning."
"What can I do for you?"
"I came to the point at once. There
are in New York, I explained from
five to six thousand standkeepers
who make a poor living from the sale
of papers. Incidently, they sell candy,
cigarettes and tobacco. Right now
they are being persecuted and be-
cause of an old regulation which pro-
hibits the standkeeper from selling
the articles mentioned, an attempt is
being made to deprive them of their
means of livelihood. You, Mr. Schiff.
are in a position to help them. All
you need do is talk it over with the
Mayor.
"Having listened carefully to my
request, he replied without stopping
to think over the matter.
(Heads League of
Nations Assembly
"'A law is a law and we citizens
most respect it whether we like it or
not'. And smilingly he continued:
'You wouldn't want me to go to prison
in connection with this matter, would
you?'
"'Certainly not', I replied, but per-
haps you can find some means where-
by the wolf should be satisfied and
the lambs should remain safe?'
"'Just wait a minute,' Mr. Schiff
said, 'I think I can solve the matter.
Have you ever heard the story of
the 'Succoth?'
"At this point Mr. Schiff took hold
of the lapell of my coat and in the
manner of a learned Jew of old, relat-
ing some brilliant sophistry he told
me the following story:
"'Amsterdam possessed quite a
Jewish
population. The Jews

•
there were well to do and played an
important part in the public affairs
of the city. On one occasion it came
to pass that a Jew built up a nice
large Succoth adjoining his house.
His next door neighbor was a gentile
and he was very much put out that
the Jew thus obstructed the interven-
ing space between them, thereby shut-
ting out some of his light. The gentile
asked the Jew to remove the Succoth
but this the Jew refused to do. Where-
upon the gentile went to the Mayor
of the city and officially complained.
The Mayor came down himself, in-
vestigated the matter and found that
the gentile was right. He thereupon
ordered the Jew to remove the Suc-
coth within a period of eight days.
You understand?
" 'I think,' Mr. Schiff continued,
'that we will request the Mayor to
allow the standkeepers two months
during which they should remove
their candies and cigarettes and in
the course of these two months, we
will take the necessary measures to
have the legislature amend the law.
"And that is exactly what happen-
ed. The standkeepers were not both-
ered again and yet no one knew that
this was done due to the efforts of
the great Mr. Jacob M. Schiff, for he
expressly desired that his name should
not be mentioned in connection with
this affair,"

American Engineer Pronounces

NEW YORK—Outside of the
enemy countries of Germanyf and
Austria, and of Russia, which has
destroyed itself, the greatest changes
which the war has krou ght (for Ire-
land's problem has reached no deci-
sion) have occured in Palestine and
Egypt. America has heard) little of
them. But they have been of a tre-
mendous world-importance.
H. T. Cory, the world , famous
American engineer, who speaks of
them in the following exclusive in-
terview, is better qualified to speak
of Egypt than anybody else, per-
haps, for he has just returned from
that old and storied land, where he
went at the invitation of the British
and Egyptian governments as a mem-
ber of the Nile Projects Commission
and whence he returns after having
been the sole signatory to a minority
report upon one phase—the division
of water between Egypt and the Su-
dan—of this tremendous question
which involves a continent's prosper-
ity and not inconceivably may have
great international significance. Of
Palestine he speaks as an interested
visitor. That he also was a sympa-
thetic visitor, although not a Jew,
makes what he says particularly in-
teresting.
Presents the Real Problem.
"I went up to Palestine," said he,
"at the invitation of Mr. Justice Bran-
deis to see what the Zionists are do-
ing there. This repatriation of the
Jews in their old land is one of the
most interesting experiments the
world ever has seen.
'It was all most satisfactory. It
has been said that Jerusalem has a
climate like that of southern Cali-
fornia, but, as a matter of fact, Pal-
estine is even more favored than that
fortunate region, for in western Pal-
estine there never is the slightest fear
of frost and the rainfall is more
copious that that of southern Cali-
fornia.
"Thus in Palestine mankind real-
ly has a better natural opportunity
than is found in the best of the won-
derful American Pacific coast, but
there is some lack of merit in the
human material at hand. The prob-
lem is trrific, largely because of the
deeply-rooted antipathies existing
between the various inhabitant races.
It seems to me that the task is far
less that of getting the Hebrews into
Palestine (they are coming so fast
that the trouble seems to be to keep
them out) than of getting Palestine
fully and efficiently ready for their
coming.
Examples of Pure Patriotism.

brews from all parts of Europe and

practically no wages, out of purest

BROOKLYN RABBI URGES COMBATTING
ANTAGONISM FOR SAKE OF JUSTICE
With the appearance in the Dearborn Independent of a series of articles,
Anti-Semitic in nature and tone, came a period of hesitancy on the part of Amer-
ican Jewry. Were the articles worthy of an answer? Should the proposition
involved be dignified by a serious attempt at refutation? 11%1 good could COMM

tion a multitude of replies to the articles in question, addressed to Henry Ford
and emanating, for the most part, from the pens of Gentiles, eager to spring to
the defense of what they considered a rare and creed maligned. Decided by
this, and, in many cases urged to action by their Christian friends, the leaders of
Jewish thought have prepared words of comment relative to the allegations made.
The Jewish Chronicle herewith reprints the essence of two sermons, one by Rabbi
Stephen S. Wise of the Free Synagogue, New York City, the other by Rabbi
Alexander Lyons of Brooklyn. Rabbi Wise was moved to speak by the recent
appearance of the articles in pamphlet form.
New York—A Henry Ford pamphlet, entitled "The World's Foremost Prob-
lem: the International Jew," came into the hands of Rabbi Stephen Wise, who
made it the basis of his address before the Free Synagogue in Carnegie ball
recently.
The Rabbi declared that Ford's S ties of articles on the Jews "is not eo
much a challenge to the Jews as an aft oat to public opinion, an insult to every
public decency."

"The very Title of the pamphlet,
'The World's Foremost Problem:
