OBSERVE
FEAST OF PASSOVER

The feast of the Passover begins
Monday evening, April II, and will be
observed for seven days by the Re-
form Jews and eight days by the Or
thodox. The Passover is the first fes-
tival of emancipation in the history
Of civilization. Its commemoration is
based on the Biblican narrative which
tells how the people OF Israel enslaved
in Egype, were led from bondage to
freedom by the great leader Moses.
The Passover festival speaks for the
sanctity of the home as we'll as FOR
selfrespect and liberty. The Jews
accordingly assemble in their homes
on this festival, and signalize it by
solemn service in which the story of
the. ancient strug for emancipa-
tion is recounted with pious fervor.
This Seder, as it is called, is unique
in spirit and form. It is earnest and
yet happy, and its ritual, though ar
chaic, symbolizes the facts of human
experience in all conditions of life
The roasted bone reminiscent of the
paschal lamb of the first Passover;
the bitter herbs calling to mind the
hard labor of the Israelitish slaves;
the unleavened bread. known as the
bread of the affliction," symbolizing
the hasty departure from Egypt, the
roasted egg, recalling the individual
secrifice which was offered in the
temple; the mixture of grated apple,
nuts and wine, suggesting the ciay
from which bricks were made by the
enslaved people, and the parsley and
salt water, symbolic of growth and
the fertilizing freshness of spring, in
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1916-04-14

vest the domestic ceremony with a
real and forcefuI meaning. A beauti-
ful and most suggestive part of the
service is the open door, through
which the messianic prophet Elijah
enters every home that night, a splen-
did expression of the great ideal
which the prophets of Israel announc-
ed will become real some day when
men will cease to hate and begin to
do Justice
1t is customary to remove all leaven
out of the household in preparation
for the feast. Leaven is the symbol
of the sordid, and refers to those who
are unemancipated from the common
place things. During the feast, only
unleavend bread is eaten.
The Haggadah, the order Of the do
nestle service, read on the night
when the family gathers about the
common table. comprises the nara
tive Of the exodus from Egypt, the ae-
count of the oppression which the an
cient Israelites endured, and is not
without its covert allusions to the pa
thetic story of Israel in more recent
times in the midst of the nnkind ma
tions
The Passover is the most ancient
Of the Jewish holidays and perhaps
the most ancient of all holidays in the
history of religion.
The favorite book for reading dur
ing the Passover week is the Song
Of Songs" 1t is the most classical
song of love in canonized literature |
and Is read on this festival because
according to the traditional view, il |
tespeaks the love between God and |

TWO KILLED BY
 MEXICAN TROOPS American and Britisher Were Trying to Reach the
 United States Border

Douglas, Ariz., June 22.-Two foreign CTS, one an American were killed Tues day in a fight between three refugees attempting to reach the United States border and 13/Mexican soldiers at Cienega Fria, eight miles east of Arizpe, Sonora, according to official tele- gram received late today at Agua Prieta by General Gales, Mexican commander.
 The telegram was believed by persons here to confirm earlier reports from Macozari and Arizpe that James Park, 45 years old, an American, and A. R. Dick son, a British subject, were the men who had been killed.
 The third refugee, taken prisoner by the Mexcans. was identified as Norton at Nacozari on a charge of homicide, according to messages from Mexican of ficials there.
 One Mexican soldier was killed and another wounded in the fighting, accord ing to the report.
 The report said the commander of the Arizpe garrison sent a squad of 13 sol diers to stop the three men, reported to be cutting wire fences on a ranch there. Believing the foreigners were cattle thieves the officer in command called on them to halt They replied by opening fire with revolvers, killing one and wound ing another soldier it is claimed.
 The return fire of the Mexicans the report adds, killed one man and fatally wounded another The third man escaped.
 Hand was arrested at Nacozafi. Ameri- cans arriving here said Hand stated that the soldiers fired first. c. C.. Duncan, British vice consul for northern Sonora, and Alexander Baird.

 Military censorship was frightened noticeably all along the border to- night. especially at the expeditionary base at Columbus, where cers 1rship cn the telegraph and telephone lines has been maintained since General Pershing crossed the frontier on March 15. The intimation from military au- thorities was that any information con- corning developments in the military situation must come from General Fun ston in San Antonio.
 Mexican authorities at border points also frightened the news censorship to- day and in two towns American news paper men were taken temporarily into custody by military authorities.

ENROLLING VOLUNTEERS

Consul Garcia announced that 1000
 volunteers for the Carranza array, be-
 ing enrolled in Chihuahua, had been
 recruited from the civilian population
 of Juarez today. following the publi- cation of the news of yesterdays en-
 gagement. He said drilling of these
 preparatory to their incorporation into the army of the north would begin im- mediately. The consul also issued the following statement:
 "The people of Fl Paso eed fear no surprise attacks from the Mexican side of the Rio Grande. Both the civil and military population of Ju;trez and y'- cinity have had strict instructions to maintain peace and quiet until war IS Geclared"
 Some interest but little apprehension was attached to the last sentence of the statement. which seemingly left an intimation that the Garrauzlstas planned to attack the city in the event of hostilities. Well informed persons. however. put little credence in this in- depreciation of the statement. A message fror' General Oregon. Mexican minister of war. containing a denial of the reports that he had issued q statement today saving he had or dered the Mexican force to attack the Americans. was received in Juarez tC- night A dispatch asserted that the war
