A GLOOMY VIEW OF JEWISH PATTI.
RABBI sILvERMAN THINKS IT IS DECLINING
AND IS ACCOMPANIED BY PHYS
ICAI4 DEGENERACY.

Rabbi Joseph Silverman in his sermon at Temple
Emanu-El yesterday morning took a gloomy view
~ the religious status OF modern Jews. and de-
cared that the abandonment By Jews OF the faith
OF their fathers accompanied by physical de-
seneracy and a marked decrease in the length OF
the average life Of the race. The subject OF his
theme was HAS the Decaogue Been Abandoned?'
The isrsete OF to-day" said Rabbi Silverman
has not In his heart the true conception Of God
Truth, love- mercy and justice. which are other
names for God. longer uppermost In our
minds. We have lost the heroes OF old who would
sacrifice their lives for their faith In our fathers
time their whole life was permeated with religious
faith and thought. Their religious fervor was OF
the kind which made martyrs. heroes and prophets
and inspired literature and art. They were ready
to live or die for their faith. This has always
been Israels strength. But to-day Il is a source
OF weakness The power OF Israel depends upon
and stands or falls with Its faith In its God It's
loss OF It's God and its religion means its downfall
and abasement.

Mr.. Vlasto also said that there was

and that King George may have ether
troubles to face than the war with Tur-
key.
Another well-informed Greek said:
The king in declaring war with
Turkey had no other alternative. as he
had to war with Turkey or lose his
dynasty. There is CONSERVATION and
indignation in Athens Greece expected
help from another power, but it has
held back and our people must fight
alone with all the powers seemingly ar

AS IT NOW LOOKS.
Intervention by the Powers Will End
the Campaign.

London, April 27.-Everything points
to the conclusion of the campaign by
the Intervention of the powers. There
is no confirmation of the report that
the Greek ministry has fallen. 1t is
probable that a coalition cabinet will
be formed. 1t is stated that prepara-
lions are being made on King Georges
property at Smidstrup. Denmark, with
a view to having the castle ready for
its owner in case OF his abdication or
deposition.
Everything sent from Athens by the
special correspondents emphasizes the
increasing gravity of the situation
there, and the rapid development of a
revolutionary feeling. This condition
of things appears to have resulted
largely from the cessation of HOSTILE
ties in Epirus. There is no doubt that
the Turks are occupied in establishing
their lines of communication. 1t is
equally evident that the Greek disas-
ter in Eoirus is more serious than at
first supposed. It looks like a hopeless
task to renew the advance upon Jarina
as Turkey is in a position to send
overwhelming achievements.

it is hard at this time to determine.

three witnesses now who agree that
she was seen outside after the fatal
shots were fred. One of these is

Horace Fowler and John Ramsey. All
