WHEN THE
GIRL TOLD

The veranda conclave was in ses.

question OF whether or not woman

"A girl loved a man. but was not
sure perhaps he was not sure
whether or not he loved her in return.
They we're splendid friends, and his
tender, considerable manner might

was torture, only comforted by the
knowledge that he had no other girl

questionable devotion to her. This

She told him, all in a breath, all
that she had thought, and suffered

answered that he had loved her al

Yet she felt the truth--that he never
had loved her. 1t was only friendli-

JEWISH VOICE IS
FIRST FOR PEACE
Dr.. Edward N. Calisch Makes :
Powerful Plea for the Peace
of the World.

DR.. Edward NJ Calisch rabbi Of the
Beth Ahaba Temple, last night preach
ed q special sermon on Peace and Ar
bitration" to large congregation at
the temple. It was observance OF the
annual Peace Day" of the Jewish Wo-
mans Council. In this discourse DR..
Callsch made powerful and thought
full plea for peace. as q measure OF
humanity and duty, and likewise as
a measure of economic wisdom. He
characterized war ms not only national
murder but national suicide.
The speaker attributed to the Jewish
people the sounding of the first note
for universal peace and to a modern
Jew, Jean de Bloch, the leadership In
the creation of the prescnt-dny senti-
ment against war. The sermon was a
tforceful presentation OF what war
means. morally and in a practical
