WITH A SONG ON THEIR
LIPS

By Rabbi J. Max Weis.

What an unusual scene! A little
Jewish boy was pointing his finger in
scorn at a very handsome and nobly
dressed Jew who had just passed him.
"Coward! Traitor! Shame on your
goal!" shouted the boy.
The man's face reddened with
shame and. anger. Ile was a ma-
rano, one of the many Jews who had
accepted the Christian religion and
went to church every Sunday with
the Christian Spaniards, but observed
the Jewish religion in secret.
Many Jews were afraid to be Jews
when they saw the Christian rulers
of Spain and their priests mistreat
and torture many of their people.
They thought they could escape harm

and even death by pretending to b
Christians. Poor, weak men this
they were, they still loved their Ju
daism. Whenever the holiday o
Passover would come, they seril(
have the Seder in their home whilt.
some one stood on guard to warn
them of any Christian spies. They
would meet secretly on the Sabbath
and recite their prayers just like all
other Jews.

As cautious as they were, the ma-
ranos were always in danger. In or-
der to keep watch on these New
Christians, as these maranos were
called, the church and the king set up
a system called "The Inquisition." It
included spies, a court and a plan of
torture and cruel punishment. if any
one was suspected of observing any
other religion, he was brought before
the Court of Inquisition.

Very often the Inquisitors would

Declares America Should Lead
in Move to Undo Results
of Despotic Peace.

SAYS FRANCE HOLDS NEW
STATES IN STRONG GRIP

Celebration of Armistice Day
Under Existing Situation

a Mockery, He Avers.

NEW YORK.—Declaring that, in-
stead of celebrating Armistice Day as
a day of rejoicing, the American peo-
ple should observe it with fasting and
atonement until the evils embodied
in the peace treaty are corrected in
a manner conforming to the ideals
which Woodrow Wilson expressed in
his addresses and his 14 points, Sam-
uel Untermyer, in a speech at Temple
Rotioph Sholom, urged that the
United States take the lend in an
effort to bring about a revision of
the treaty.
"The commemoration of the day
when this unprecedented, barbaric
world-slaughter came to an end is in
itself a commendable celebration,"
he said. "If its purpose were to com-
memorate a peace with honor to our-
selves or to any of the other nations
concerned it would indeed be an occa-
sion for grateful remembrance. The
tragedy of it all is that we are today
celebrating not only the betrayal of
the vanquished but of America. The
due should be to us one of fasting
and atonement rather than of joy and
thanksgiving.
"When the agreement for the
League of Nations, which was to
crown the one great ambition of Mr.
Wilson's life and to have been the
instrument to restore peace and good
will on earth, to which he had dedi-
cated all that was in him, was formu-
lated, it Was found to be an agree-
ment to perpetuate, by the combined
force of arms of the great nations
of the earth, tine must brutal, despotic
and war-breeding 'peace' in the an-
nals of all time. Then and then only
did we learn that our country, which,
under the guise of a 'peace without
victory' was to make the world for-
ever thereafter 'safe for democracy'
had
made the pawn in the most
treache hus game ever played in his-
tory.
We whose participation had
changed defeat into success for the
Allies, were repaid by a treaty that
violated every promise made by us
and which cannot but perpetuate
hatredsforgenerations to come."
Enumerates Famous Terms.
Mr. Untermyer here took up in
detail a number of points stressed
both in Mr. Wilson's addresses and
his 14points, and pointed out how,
in his opinion, they were violated.
Among the terms he enumerated were
"open covenants openly arrived at.
and ope mliplomacy"; "removal of
economic barriers and equality of
trade," and "reductions of arma-
ments guaranteed." Criticizing
France fur the demands she made on
Germany and her occupation of Ger-
many's great mining and industrial
center, Mr. Untermyer continued:
"If the war had terminated in the
defeat and surrender of the armies of
the Central Powers, the Allies might
well have claimed that under the an-
cient rules of war whereby 'to the
victors belong the spoils' they were
terms of peace, however destructive

men. We have succeeded in sowing
the seeds of future wars by our im-
potent amateur diplomacy, while the
Allies have bagged the spoils in pow-
er, territory and reparations. Our
role has been that of the Lady Boun-
tiful who after supplying man power,
armaments and the billions of money
that made victory possible, found our-
selves at the end without indemnity
for our sacrifices and without real
participation or influence to make
good our promises, based upon the
assurances made by the Allies to us,
in the carrying out of the terms of
peace on which we induced the enemy
to lay down their arms.
"If we had a real sense of humor,
we would 'tread rather lightly' in cel-
ebrating Armistice Day beyond con-
gratulating ourselves that we are out
of the mess and vowing to forget all
about the mortifying spectacle that
we must present in the eyes of the
trained diplomats of Europe.
"If America wants a real Armistice
Day , that shall be a source of pride
rather than of shame and mortifica-
tion, we should at least make an effort
to correct or modify these wrongs,
for which we are at least partly re-
sponsible, insofar as possible. As the
first step in that direction, let us ask
the forthcoming disarmament confer-
ence to include in its agenda the dis-
cussion of treaty revisions."

ANTI-SEMITE SOUGHT
RICH JEWISH GIRLS

Dinter's Matrimonial Enterprises Re-
vealed at Trial.

BERLIN.—(J. T. A.) -- Arthur
Dinter, leader of the anti-Semitic
Voolkische Party and author of sev-
eral pseudo-scientific books of an anti-
Semitic nature, cast longing eyes on
rich Jewish girls.
This was made known at a trial
which took place here. The Berliner
TagebIntt, in one of its recent articles,
declared that "Arthur Dinter's
books, 'Blood Crimes' and 'Light On
the Talmud,' are dirty pamphlets is-
sued for speculation purposes." !hin-
ter took exception to this definition
of his literary career and started pro-
ceedings against the publishers of
The Tageblatt.
Dr. Alfred Klee and Dr. Samuel
Gronemann, attorneys for the news-
paper, submitted evidence that Din-
ter was an immoral person and that.
in spite of his anti-Semitic preach-
ings, he had endeavored to marry rich
Jewish girls. The trial was postponed
because the Talmudic expert, Bisch-
off, whom Dinter called as a witness.
did not appear.

UNTERMYER PLEADS
FOR A WORLD PLAN
TO REVISE TREATY

1669

. Noah was a good man who lived at
a time when all the people in the
world were wicked, so very wicked1
that God said He must send a flood
that would destroy them. But God
'said He would save Noah, because he
was obedient and good. One (lay He
bade Noah build a great wooden ark,
or ship, that would float upon water,
'and take his wife and his three sons,
and their wives, and two of every livs '
ing thing into it, and remain there
until the flood was over. And Noah
did as God had commanded him. Then
, the flood came and all except those
in the ark were drowned.
• After 40 days the rain ceased, but
fur a long time Noah and his family
could not leave the ark.
At last one day Noah, wishing to
see if there was any dry ground, sent
forth a raven, but it never returned.
He next sent forth a dove, but at
the sight of so much water the little
bird was afraid and came fluttering
home to the ark. Seven days after,
Noah sent the dove out a second time
and in the evening she returned,
!carrying a green leaf in her mouth.
"I will send her again," cried Noah.
And he did so, and this time she never
came back.
Noah knew from this that the wa-
ters were drying up, and soon he and
all who were with him went out from
the ark. Then Noah made an altar
of stones and he and his family
kneeled down before it and thanked
God for His merciful goodness. And
God promised lie would not strain
punish the pimple with a flood, and!
in remembrance of His promise set a
beautiful bright rainbow in the sky.
