PAGE TWO r_ telkitton;tEmstitilwencus SSW Zi!c Tilithren's Tomer 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.

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 entitled to absolutely dictate the to the future peace of the world.

"Every venture that we make into the realm of diplomacy proves anew that we are mere children. It is as taking candy from children. It is The play upon our idealism is as easy the indoor sport of European states- 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. _ ere is what, ey're wearing t is winter.

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.
