the sun was the real cause Of the Sox
downfall. Fly balls hit toward the left

DR.. Silverman Explains
His Opposition to Suffrage

DR.. Joseph Silverman. president OF
the Eastern Council OF Reform Rabbis.
announced yesterday that his opposi-
tion to submitting the amendment on
woman suffrage TO the voters Of this
state was due to his belief that all ac-
tivities in behalf Of the amendment
should wait until the end of the war.
The resolution to submit the amend
ncnt was proposed by Or. stephen S.
Wise, Of tho Free Synagogue, at the
session Of the council on Monday. DR..
Silverman's opposition nearly resulted
in DR.. Wise's resignation.
at this time, with America at war,
the people and the Legislature should
concern themselves with conserving the
defence Of the nation" said DR.. Silver
man. "Thc question Of submitting the
amendment on woman suffrage might
we'll wait until the war is over. Il is
almost criminal to waste our time and
energy in the next few months on r use
less debate on suffrage when we should
be turning our whole attention TO mob
iiizing our forces for defence against
the foe
