BOX Construction. exponent of the inherent beauty of this wonderful melody, and surely, Mr. Editor, you would not lead us to believe that Pablo Casale is in- dulging in Jewish propaganda. You mention that "Eli Eli" is the "piece de resistance" of the Bolshe- viks and all other sorts of Reds. Again I say that you show complete ignorance, or malicious malversation of facts. There is nothing traditional about "Eli Eli." Words and music were composed by one Jacob Keppel San- dler, a New York musician of the East Side, but that cannot be held against him. The literal translation of the Yiddish was made by Charles D. Isaacson, the eminent musical edi- tor of the New York Globe. The phrase "with fire and flame they have burned us," of which you no triumphantly , asked, who are "they" but we Gentiles, shows that you purposely pervert the meaning of that phrase. Any of your intelligent readers must know or guess that by "they" are meant the Russian Black Ilun- deed, who instigated the fearful po- groms. I cannot conceive it possible that any of your readers wishes to he identified with the Black Hundred, and must smile at your crude attempt in trying to open their eyes to what is not, and that they rather "kid" you the same way as Arthur Brisbane does once in a while in his daily column. If you, Mr. Editor, will procure a copy of the "Only Original Version" of "Eli Eli" from the publishers, Richmond, 145 West Forty-fifth street, New York, and will read the story of the song, printed on the sec- ond page of its cover, you will find the reason for the existence of this song, instead of your (per(version and distortion of facts. This music stands the test of di- vine inspiration, even without its words, which may be unintelligent to Gentiles, but who, nevertheless, will be deeply touched by the soul stirring beauty of this simple song. Far be it from me to try to stop your Jew-baiting tactics, but please. Mr. Editor, adhere to the truth; don't try by all means, foul or otherwise, to prove your case. Mozart composed a Requiem, Wag- ner a Parsival, Brehm; a Requiem, Rossini a Stabet Mater, Meyerbeer the Huguenots, Biset an Agnus Del, and Mendelson the Oratories Elijah and St. l'aul. All these composers were either Jews or of Jewish ancestors. (See A E. Keetone, "The Jew in Music," Contemporary Review, January-June, 1907, vol. 91, page 547.553, and James Gibbons lluncker's article, "Eli Eli Ashavtonai," in New York Times, May 4, 1919, Sec. 4, page 5.) Surely you will not tell us that they composed this sublime Gentile magic with a view to proselitising Gentiles to the Jewish faith. Neither did Saint Saene write the purely Jew- sh opera, "Samson and Delilah," nor Messonet Herodiade, or Gounod "The Queen of Sheba" for the pur- pose of making Jews of their Gen- tile brethren. Nor have Manna Zucca or Rhea Silberta, in America, composed their inspiring "Rachez" and "Yohrzeit" for Jewish propaganda. These young Jewish women composers have writ- ten musical compositions that will stand the test of time regardless of any text, and will inspire as many Gentiles as well as Jews with their great message of beauty. No, Mr. Editor, kindly do not di- vulge in music, Jewish or Gentile, as your musical knowledge is indeed very poor, and the little you know is worthless, since you use it merely to prostitute it in order to prove your case, which is without merit. Yours truly. P. COSMAN. P. S.-1 am advised that you brook 110 criticism about that which you in one of the potatoes suddenly gave out, and only the Shammos was left. The Shammos, too, was gradually get- ting smaller and smaller, until Feifer saw that there woo just one drop left, which burned in a tiny speck of blue, no bigger than the head of a pin. The goblins, who were watching the light with hungry looks, saw that there was only one drop of oil left, and or- dered to woman to fill the big pail with water and to put it on the fire. The first goblin even pulled out a long gleaming knife, and began to sharpen it against the sole of his shoe. Itzig Feifer confessed that at that moment his heard grew faint. But suddenly he noticed, that in spite of everything, the last drop of oil was burning even more brightly than be- fore. As the goblin with the knife rushed up to him, he pointed to the light which was still burning. Impa- tiently, the goblin opened the window, hoping that the wind would extinguish it. But it only became brighter and brighter. Then all three goblins blew upon the light terrifically—hut all to no purpose. They could not blow it out. Then Feifer knew that God was with him. lie went into the next room, lay down on the tied of the gob- ,• y fell asleep.

When Feifer arose early the fol- lowing morning, the light was still burning on the window sill, and near it stood the three gold ilia, shaking and helpless with rage. Before he took his leave, however, the old woman in- sisted on making him a potato pud- ding, and he thanked her, and ate it with relish. Then he bade the old woman good- day, and pursuing the way pointed out to him in his dream, Itzig Feifer hurried away, and at last came safely out of the forest! RIDDLE BOX Ochs and Brisbane By I. K.

MISS KATHELYN PEREIRA An interesting social event is prom- ised in the second annual dancing party to be given by Purity Chapter, No. 359, Order Eastern Star, on Mon- d ay evening, Dec. 26, at Eastern Star T emple. A diverting program of entertain- ment will be given by Miss Kathelyn Pereira, danseuse, and two of her pu- pils, Misses Dorothy Rivkin and Vir- ginia De Claire. A vocal solo by Miss Ilarriett Newman, with accompani- ment by bliss Jeannette Starikoff, and songs by Charles Miller and little Aubrey Cherkose are included in the program. Dancing will continue until 1 o'clock. A popular orchestra has been engaged to furnish the music. There will be refreshments and favors for the guests. PHILOMATHIC CLL.113 The Philomathic banquet is but a few days off. On the evening of Tuesday, Dec. 27, at 7:30 o'clock, Philomathians young and old will come together in reunion at the Shanrey Zedek. Judge Dingeman will be the guest of the Philomathic, as will other prominent men. At the last meeting a number of the members engaged in a discussion of current topics. S. Immerman spoke on the atrocities of the Ku Klux Klan. William Knoppow, who had for his topic "The History of the l'eace Movement," won first place by rea- son of his ability to deliver well an address that was well constructed. The various phases of disarmament were discussed by the Messrs. R. Burnstein and II. Weiss, after which the difficulties of the Irish question were exhaustively discussed by both H. Borovitz are H. Reisman. A well delivered discourse on "1 he Perma- ment Retention of the Philippine Isl- ands" brought S. Michamin second place Wilbur DeYoung, filling the role of For the work of building the medi- cal college American surgeons will spend $1,000,000, of which over $300,000 has already been subscribed, including a special fund to carry all administrative tasks connected with maturing the enterprise. While the inside of the plant will be American from the tiled operating rooms to the white enameled operating chairs, the exterior of the buildings will conform to the general plan of the great uni- versity, now passing through the stage of the laying of foundations. The plans for these buildings are reminiscent of the most romantic chapter of the world war---the chap- ter written by Gen. Allenby through his campaign in the Iloly Land and his capture of Jerusalem after a spectacular outflanking of the Pales- tinian army of the Turks. In this modern fight to recapture the country which is the foundation head of Christendom, Gen. Allenby followed the ancient road over which Abraham and Jacob had made their way in the patriarchal era. A chief supporter of Gen. Allenby in the ma- turing of the British policy of dedi- cating the Holy Land to the estab- lishment of a Zionist culture was Sir Auckland Geddes, British statesman I and political leader. Geddes Drawing Plans. "In America," he answered, it is • so easy to satisfy a thirst for knowl- edge that we have forgotten how in the out countriesyoung students go • around the streets thumbing worn volumes and seeking educations which' may permit them to find useful work in life. "In Russia, Poland and the Uk- raine these students are more often stifled thanpermitted to blossom in successful careers. They go about barefooted and are more likely to be subjects of suspicion than to be sup- ported in sympathy. . "From all these countries the young now yearn for Jerusalem and the cultural center they expect to find there soon. When professor Einstein came to this country and outlined the possibilities of a univers- ity at Jerusalem, American surgeons leaped to the conception that its med- ical college should be America's gift. "Almost simultaneously gifts came from the surgeons on the staffs of most New York hospitals. An or- ganization was perfected in New York, branches opened in all other American cities and the work of making the American contribution a success was under way." Move Unites War Veterans. Strangely enough, the movement brought together some oddly assorted veterans of the world war. There came to the committee's service, for instance, Dr. Abe Hilkowich, who as an army surgeon was attached to the forces of Gen. Allenby in their his- toric fighting in Palestine. There came, also, Col. Samuel J. Kopetzey, one of the five American Jews who attained the rank of colonel during the world war and who was under fire in the great American-led offen- sives that ended the war. Li all 100 American surgeons joined the committee in New York. Among them was Dr. Philip Horo- witz, who attended Caruso as a throat It is a brother of Sir Auckland, specialist; Dr. Sigsmund Goldwater, Patrick Geddes, who is now drawing commissioner of health under the late up the plans for the university which Mayor Mitchel, and most of the mem- will bring back to Jerusalem the cen- bers of the staffs of New York's hos- ter of Jewish learning and culture. pitals for Jewish patients.

After paying his respects to Mr. So. kolow he expressed his pride at be. ing a .law and said that he was happy to participate in a function in honor of a distinguished fellow-Jewish jour- nalist. Arthur Brisbane emphasized the prominence which Jews have at- tained in the newspaper world. he also referred to the anti-Semitic at. tacks of Henry Ford and said that ridicule is the only weapon that should be employed to counteract Mr. Ford's poisonous propaganda. Mr. Sokolow responded nl a short address referring to his activity in the field of a Ilebnew journalist since he began as editor of the Ilazfirah, published in Warsaw, and with which he was identified fur over :10 years. He also mentioned his excursions in- to the field of journalism of other lan- gauges.

The boys and girls who make the largest lists will see their names and addresses in the "Sabbath Angel," where all other boys and girls can know of their success.
