Of Or. Schulman's patriotic Thanksgiv-

DR.. Solomon Schechter. president of the

who died suddenly on Friday. Or. Schulz
man could not be with his congregation
and therefore hal MIR. Sulzbefger read
the sermon instead.
In ""rhe Love Of America Or. Schulz
man advocated military preparedness In
no uncertain terms. Also ne urged
strongly upon Americans OF foreign
birth and their descendants the neces-
sity OF undivided allegiance TO the stars
and Stripes. The sermon concluded with
praise for American educational institu-
tons and educators. especially for the
late Booker T. Washington and for the
merits OF the Gary system in the public
schools. which permits Of sectarian re.

chance OF Sir Edward Carson speaking
that evening. and h told me that he
had Just t%elephoned TO her to come and
hear him. that she was Lady Carson.
We waited, and the tiresome routine

new fENEL' IS
OFFERED NAVYBY
BUDDING GENIUS

Had the "fewep offered TO the navy
department recently by an eastern in
ventor, also its method Of delivery on
board ship, been adopted Honolulans
might some day have enjoyed the
sight of the armored cruiser Mary
land being coaled by firing the sacks
or combustible on board from Ems
on q collier. Here is the story as
told by the Army and Navy Register:
1.-THE inventor informed the naval
authorities that it could be put up
in any conceivable shape and could
be made water-tight and non-sinkable.
He proposed to send to the depart
|ment a shipment OF 100 pounds with
the privilege of the purchase for q
reasonable sum of the formality Of
this new fewel.'
"The writer Of the letter stated
that his composition could be packed
in canvas sacks, each attached to q
line and fired from q gun on board the
collier. BY this means coal could be
delivered on q warship with celebrity,
IL not certainty. It would be possible
to attach bags TO an endless rope and
haul them on board ship In rapid sue
cession.
THE departmental Officials were
duly impressed with the originality
OF the proposal, which was filed with
the courteous acknowledgment OF the
communication.
