HIS COMMAND REGARDLESS
homan, COmplimented for
Loyalty.

| Special to The World.
CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-General Man
| ager Cliff of the Illinois Central rail-
road today paid very high compli-
ment to a former employe of the road,
Capt. Jesse G.. Lorton, Twenty first
regiment engineers, United States army
stationed at Camp Grant, Rock
| ford, Ill.
Captain Lorton, former prominent
railroad man of Oklahoma and other
states, and brother of Eugene Lorton
| editor of the Tulsa World, enlisted in
| the engineers a few months ago. On
October while attempting to board
a freight train at Pungo, Va, he
, ,tripped on a tie and was thrown to
! the ground. His left arm was broken
near the shoulder. At S-o'clock p. m.
! on October 10 he received Instructions
to report at Rockford, Ill, at once, He
was on his way at o'clock the next
morning After arriving at camp an
X-ray photograph was taken and 1t
showed a perfect set Of the broken
bone.
"A man with n broken arm volun-
teering to go into the army as a cap
tain beats anything l ever heard Of"
said General Managr Cliff in COM
menting on the incident. IF anybody
ever deserved credit 1t is Captain
Iorton."

! England whom Germany always
hated more or less.
A Contrast
When / left there this summer
left broken, almost despairing coun-
try, hating and hated; country
which in three years has lost hundreds
lof years Of civilization; country
which, ] hope, some day will call to
account the men who brought woe
unutterable upon 1t as well as upon
the rest Of the world. But that is "A
hope / am afraid 1 never will see
! realized.
remember the Sunday that war
swept down upon Germany. BY 6 p. m.
that day thousands of soldiers were
marching thru Berlin, fully equipped,
even to an extra pair of shoes. Tho
way they marched and drilled was
beautiful in its perfection. had one not
known that this magnificent machine
had been created simply to kill.
There was no disorder, no murmur-
| ing from the people. The heroic Ger
man women babe good TO their men
without a sign, with scarcely a tear.
The men marched away, singing their
i patriotic songs, cheering and laughing.
During the fiYst year the cities were
/ htpt iiukS were ana
! bells were rung at the slightest provo
/ cation. Every report of a German VIC
tory brought forth new enthusiasm.
| When the Germans were marching
toward Paris we lived daily In expec-
tation Of hearing that Paris had fall
len into their hands.
I But. when the blunder Of the Ger
| man commander saved the capital OF
France the hopes of the German peo-
pie took n sudden drop. They never
| have forgiven this. Continually you
hear. III Hindenburg had been lead
ing the army we would have had
Paris and the war would have been
over in short order"
German People Discouraged.
The second year was much like the
first. but the third year saw the be-
ginning of disbursement creep over
the people.
Few Of the German "comn(on peo-
pie" ever read the newspapers any
| more. They had come to disbelieve
the glowing reports of German vic
tories which seemed to get the Ger
mans nowhere. From the great world
outside bits of news filtered in. tell
ing that the German armies were far
from being as victorious as the military
| rulers would like the people to be-
| lieve.
| Now the people are apathetic Few
things stir them into excitement ex-
cept when they have to pay exorbi-
| tant prices for food.
One Saturday morning i saw a riot
in the market. A man was offering
| carrots for sale-at what in our
money would be 10 cents a pound.
| The people tore his, stand to pieces
| and conflscated his vegetables.
And. in Berlin, the people are kept
| more under subjection than in the
| other towns-what it is like ler
places l can only conjecture. ! feel
sure II must be much worse.
Marie Brown will continue her
story, "The Truth About Germany"
in Tho World tomorrow. This fea-
ture will continue daily and Sunday

Passover, or the Feast of Unleavened
Bread, begins this year Friday evening,
April 9Th, at sunset, and continues Tor
seven days. Orthodox Jews celebrate
II for eight days, that is, until sunset
Saturday, April 14th. the feast COM
memorates chiefly the delivcrance or
the Children OF Israel from their slav'
cry to the Egyptians, and 50 most of
, the ceremonial and ritual of Passover
, IL intended to be reminiscent OF the
events and circumstances OF that an
/, cient deliyerance. Thus in the Tenn
pie at Jerusalem, Paschal lambs were
sacrificed to remind the people OF the
lamb sacrificed by their ancestors at
I. the command of Moses before they dc.
parted from Egypt; because the Chill
dren of Israel in their haste TO leave
; the land of bondage did not have time
. to permit their bread to leaven, 1t Is
the law to this very day, that, during
the entire Feast of Passover. nothing
but unleavened bread (Ma2zoth) ma?
! be eaten. On the seventh day OF the
feast the scriptural portion read in
the synagog is the song OF triumph
sung by the people ut the Red Sea- ne
+ cause this day is considered to be the
anniversary OF the dividing OF the Red
Sea.
The characteristic feature OF the
feast is the ceremonial meal, called
the Seder, conducted on the evening Of
the first day. The ceremony endeav'
4ors to recall the events OF the deliver
ance of old. Thus bitter herbs are eat
en- to indicate how bitter were the
lives of the slaves in Egypt. A lamb
bone is kept on the table TO recall the
sPaschal lamb offered in Egypt and Ill
the Temple. A pastclike compound OF
nuts and fruits called 'Haroseth" is
eaten; this is considered to be a re-
: hinder of the mortar used in building
i the treasure cities for Pharaoh. -Four
cups of wine are drunk, because lou"
Swere the expressions OF redemption

it is obligatory to tell the story OF the
Exodus every year, the youngest son OF
the household asks four sets OF ques'
tons as to the nature OF the feast anu
the father answers telling the story or
the Deliverance from Egypt. 4
In Palestine Passover comment

earliest crop, and so marks the close
Of the winter. Thus the general mes
sage of the feast is freedom, the Tree.
