LONDON, Dec 1.-(By Ma D-"The

Professor Masaryk, exiled mem
Der OF Austria's parliament. now in
London. is telling British pac fists to-
day that no more blockade ever will
beat the Central Empires.
Il think I know the Germans, said
Masarylk today. Il understand the
psychology OF the German people.
There is truth behind the German
boast that Germany in the end Will.

cat and dog in the Empire. Germany
will fight to the last man and the last
coin. She will need to be utterly crush
ed before she will relinquish her grip
on the terr tory she has invaded and
on the countries over which today she
exercises control.
"If the resources Of Germany are
proof against the starvation OF her
Industrial population, then the only
hope is the invasion OF Germany. Ger
many to all intents and PURPOSES
will be beaten when the Rhine is
crossed This is because the great
coal and i'm producing zone will be

Professor Masaryk does not believe
Germany is faced with a shortage OF
men. If there is any man-power diff
ficulty at all, II Is connected with the
enormous output of munitions, h0
tn nks. He is also confidenc that Ger
many's allies will fight to the last.
He added:
THE spirit OF resistance in Austria
is not as strong as II is in Germany,
but Austria also will go on TO the end.
The men who make revolutions are
n the army and the military machine
holds them in an iron grip That
mach ne is run by Germany.
Bulgaria will. fight to the end. She
cannot help herself now. Germany
has Bulgaria in her grip and will not
let go Turkey fights on for Constan-
tinople. Both Bulgaria and Turkey
want peace, but not on the Allies
terms.
Germany is a long way from be-

tor declared. There will be no
revolution I'm Germany. The military
people will see to that In any case
the roots OF revolution have poor
soil IN the submissive population.
The people who preach after-the-
war preparedness in Allied countries

jewish People Will
open feast Of LIGHTS
Eight-Day Festival of Han
nuccah Starts Tonight in
Homes and SynagogueS
HAD ORIGIN AMONG
THE MACCABEANS

Hannuccah, OF the Feast Of Lights,
marking the reded cat on Of the Holy
Temple IN Jerusalem in the year 165
b, C. will be opened this evening by
.@fws and will continue for eight
days.
In every Jewish home and in tenn
pie and synagogue, the quaint cere-
monial Of lighting an artistically
wrought eight-branched candlestick
will be observed. This even ng one
taper is GIFTED; tomorrow two / ghts
are kindled and the display of lights,
accompanied by prayer, is continued
until there are eight lights.
The celebrat on, instituted by Judas
Maccabeus and the elders Of the con
gregation Of Israel, after victories
over numerous hosts. is characterized
by mirth and Joy as a memorial Of
the dedicat on of the altar.
The Syrians had defiled the Holy
Temple in 16S B. c. by institutng
sacrifices to the Greek gods. When
the Maccabeans recovered the holy
city three years later, they cleansed
the temple OF all impurities and re-
built the altar. When the fires had
been kindled anew upon the altar
and the lamps of the candlestick
lighted the conservation Of the altar
was celebrated for eight days with
sacrifices and songs.
Legend gives another explanat'on on
OF the eight lights. According to the
Talmud, the victors found only one
cruise Of sacred oil with VIII ch to I'LL
the holy candlesticks, enough for but
one day-but by a miracle II lasted
for e ght days. when new oil was pre-
pared.
Or 'glnally the lamps and burning
torches, characteriz'ng the festival
Of lights" were placed on door posts
in front of houses. II is still re-
gsrded as proper to place the lights
near doorways and windows facing
the public thoroughfares.
In the synagogue, prayers are given
for the del'verance and redemption of
the Jews. Pupils Of religious schools
will observe the days with elaborate
concerts. The principal feature OF
these concerts will be the product on
OF q play depicting the Maccabean
struggle. SPECIAL entertainments will
be given next Sunday by every Jewish
congregational and Sunday school in
the city.
