GERMAN GENERAL HEAD
QUARTERS IN FRANCE (via Lon
dom, Dec. s.--Short-range fighting,
terrible in its destructiveness, Is the
greatest factor and the most i'm
portant lesson Of the present war.
This was the statement made to
me by Chief Quartermaster-Ge General
Won Wilde, at the German headquar-
ters here. in discussing the various
revolutionary changes in fighting
methods since the opening of the
world war.
The short-range fighting is the
greatest and most surprising mill
tary lesson Of the war" said General
Won Wilde. 1T has always been fig
ured that infantry fighting In modern
warfare would be at q range of more
than 1000 yards. Instead of this being
true-and to the surprise of most mil
itary experts-it has developed that
most of the fighting has occurred at
a range of from sixty-f1ve to 1900
yards. With the latest model of mag
azine rifles and machine guns 1t is
possible to permit the enemy to ap-

immortality of Judaism"
Subject of Sermon by
Rabbi from Golden West

Rabbi Bernard NJ. Kaplan, of San
Francisco, occupied the pulpit of the
Congregation Sharey Tefilo, on Cleve-
land street, Orange, at the regular
Friday evening series last night, and
took for his subject THE Immortality
of Judaism" Rabbi Kaplan charac-
terized the survival of Israel one of
the distinctive phenomenon of the
world. The rabbi declared that Juda-
ism's strength was due to the fact
that the Jew maintained through all
the years of persecution and oppres-
sion the essential faith in God, faith
in his fellow men and faith in him
self.
Rabbi Kaplan declared that the rea-
son that this nation is now expert
enc'ng a period of depression in the
industrial circle was because of the
lack of mutual confidence of men in
one another. He attacked the politi-
cal system, under which he charged
that because one man held different
political views from another. he was
practically cut off from participation
~ the work of benef1ting the govern
II and his fellow men. He said
f, at If there were more faith between
men there would be more opportunity
for cooperation.
After DR.. Kaplan's sermon. Rabbi
Alter Ableson, of the congregation,
that the bazar OF the con-
gregation would be informally opened
tomorrow afternoon at an entertain
ment given by the Sunday school
children. The bazar. which is for the
benefit of the building fund, will be
IN progress three davs OF next week,

MOB LYNCHES
TWO NEGROES
One Is Taken from Jail, Driven
Away in Auto and
Hanged.

SHREVEPORT, La, Dec. l2.-Two
negroes were lynched near Shreve-
port yesterday, and last night an
other. Watkins Lewis. accused of
completely in the killing Of Charles
M. Hicks, merchant of Sylvester,
La, was taken from the parish jail
here by members of mob and is be-
lieved to have been hanged.
Lewis was removed by five men,
who gained entrance to the Jail
through a window and overpowered
the jailer. The negro was put in an
automobile and hurried away. Up to
a late hour last night no trace had
been found of the prisoner or his
captors.

are said to have confessed they
killed Cyrus Hotchkin, an oil field
worker, near Mooringsport, La, on
last Thursday.
They were taken from an officer
who was attempting to remove them
to Mansfield. La, for safe-keeping.

.UNGER DEFEATED
IN WATER FIGHT
Utility Board Dismisses Social
ISIS Complaint, Although Or
dering Lower Minimum Rate.
Special to the Evening Star.

Special to the Evening Star.
TRENTON, Dec. 1.-THE complaint
of Sigmund Unger, of Passaic, that
the rates charged by the Acquackar-
onck Water Company were unjust
and unreasonable has been dismissed
by the Board of Public Utility Com
missioners upon the ground that
Unger has not presented evidence to
support his charges. The only request
of Unger's that was not dismissed by
the board was that asking for re-
duction of the minimum metered rate
of SIG per year, or 81 quarter. The
board in this instance requires the
company to file a lower rate of $12
per annum, or So per quarter.
Unger is a Socialist of Passaic who
has been particularly active in affairs
pertaining to public utility matters.
After the selection of Professor Win
throp N. Daniels as a member of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
Unger was very active in trying to
get the Senate to refuse to confirm
the appointment. He wrote many let
ters both to the president and mem
bers of the Senate in an effort to
defeat Professor Daniels.
The report of the board on the
complaint Of Unger as to the high
rates does not pass on the question
of the reasonableness of the rate
schedule of the company. 1t directs
attention to the fact that 1t can only
order a reduction in rates, upon evil
cence supporting a finding that ex-
listing rates are unjust and unreason-
able, and a determination that the
rates substituted for the existing
rates are just and reasonable. The
board states that the complainant
has not produced evidence which
would support reasonably a finding
that the existing rates are unfair
In the opinion of the board the rea-
sonableness of the rates cannot be
determined without evidence of the
fair value of the property reasonably
employed In the public service, and
such evidence was not laid before

England Leaves Question of
Christmas Truce to France
BY the United Press.

LONDON, Dec. 12.-England will
leave entirely to the French govern
ment the decision upon the proposal
of Pope Benedict that the warning
powers declare a Christmas truce.
Although there has been no official
expression as to England's attitude
in the matter, 1t is understood deci-
sion will be left to France, inasmuch
as General Joffre Is recognized as the
commander-in-ch chief of the allied
armies operating in France and Bel
GUM.
The possibility of the proposal of
his holiness being adopted depends
upon the military situation at Christ
mas time. There is no disposition to
handicap General Joffre and the al
lied armies in any movement that
may then be under way in the event
military exigencies render a truce
undesirable.
