The Title of Rabbi
Ry DR. EMANUEL SCHREIBER.


b;s of this country do not recognize the
graduates If the New York Theological
Seminary as rabbis, needs cause no sur
prise The heartache which this pronun-
ciamento seems to cause our neo-orthO-
dox ronanticists or reasonable" ortho-
doxv is rot reasonable. They could not
expect another attitude from honest,
though unreasonable orthodox rabbis.
From our point of view every orthodoxy
is unreasonable. Such thing as reas-
enable orthodoxy is an absolute contra
diction. For, any twentieth century
man or woman who allows reason to IN
fuence in the very least his religious
views cannot honestly, conscientiously
and cantiidly be orthodox. The eXcom-
munication, for that is what the pronun-
ciamento amounts to-of the New YORK
"Seminarists by the simon-pure ortho-
dox rabbis of this country, is simply
ease of history repeating itself. When
DR.. Abraham Geiger accepted the rab-
binate at Bleslau (1S39) his orthodox
opponents led by Tiktin, protested most
strongly against the title OF Rabbi,
on which Geiger naturally insisted. The
same was the case with Holdheim and
the whole school of the German Reform
Rabbinate of the fifth decade of the
nineteenth century. DR.. Holdheim even
after his acceptance of the position at
the Berlin Reform Gemeinde (1S45)
which to this very day is the most radi-
cal reform congregation in Europe
there is Sunday worship only and outside
of Shma and Kedushah no Hebrew at
all in the service insisted
on retaining the title Of ''Rabbiner."
Just as did Geiger in Breslau, as ques-
ton of authority for Reform Judaism.
The contention of the German orthodoxy
however was not that the Reform Rabbls
were not sufficiently equipped in Tai
mud and Rabbinic lore so as to deserve
the title of "Rabbi." for the most invet-
crate and bitter enemies of Geiger,
Holdheim, Einhorn, Samuel Adler, Sam
uel Hirsch, Hess. Wechsler. Aub, Grue-
nebaum, Lazarus Adler. Herzfeld Herx-
heimer, Joseph Mayer, Formstecher and
others had against their will to concede
that those Reform Rabbis were well
versed in Jewish lore and in the Hala
chic literature. Indeed. whosoever is
familiar with the highly interesting pol
emic literature of those golden days of
the Jewish Reform movement will be
forced to the conclusion that the Reform
Rabbis. to say the least. were in point
of equipment in Rabbinical lore and ia
miliarity with the literature of the CO.
dices not only the peers. but often the
superiors of their orthodox antagonists

EVANS NOT WORRIED.
No More Haste than Usual on Re-
pairs to Ships Here.

" CT ana ruinors OF war with Japan provoked
nearly deep sea laugh yesterday from Rear
ADMIRAL Robley D. Evans who has taken up
MS headquarters on board his flagship. the Con-
hecucut' which just al present is high and dry
IN orydock at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Stories
nave peeh circulated in the press the effect
mat the fact that the Connecticut and the Ala
DANA are IN drydock here and other vessels of
the North Atlantic Squadron are in drydock
at other places along the coast was justification
1or the supposition that the United States is
sharpening the battle axe for Japan. Not only
dlu Rear admiral Evans tell a Tribune reporter
that this repairing is merely a regular seui-an-
nual affair, but he explained that he has not
received officially any orders to proceed to the
Pacific Coast.
When asked regarding the talk Of an all
around war preparation, the Rear Admiral said:
Il read with great deal OF interest what the
papers say. and il is my business to prepare for
whatever may he required OF US. The schedule
OF repairs was laid out by me months ago, for
that is the regular rule. The schedule was APP
proved by the department. With our shortage
of docks II takes all the time available to effect
the repairs"
When talk Of war with Japan was mentioned
the admiral ChCCkled and then remarked:
1T is silly There is no more reason to think
that because certain roughs in San Francisco
wreck a japanese restaurant it is a reason for
war with Japan than to suppose that because
hoodlums in Chatham Square throw bricks
through a Chinese laundry's windows il Is a
cause Of war with China"
The rear admiral was then asked regarding
the increase OF SIP a month in the pay OF ali
officers Of the navy shore duty. It's true
and it's very tardy Justice" he said. ut simply
puts the men on shore duty upon nearly the
level with u.s. The increase which
Rear Admiral Evans referred is in effect simply
allowing the men stationed on shore. where there
government quarters, TO have another
room added TO the number they are now per-
mitted to have. Since IA such cases the govern
ment. under the schedule, has made $12 month
the rate for each room, this means that, since
every grade of commissioned officers IS allowed
one more room. the raise" is only $12 month
IN each grade. Also under the new law heat and
lighting bills TO be paid by the government,
but heat and light given free on shipboard.
Rear Admiral Evans attaches 10 more signlh

take his great fleet around the Horn and over
q voyage of fourteen thousand miles than have
