A MASTER OF ENGLISH
Commercial AppeaI)

The Hyde Park high school of
Chicago has adopted the reply of
President Wilson to Pope Benedict
XIV, proposal of peace, as a text in
the study of English. Printed leaf
lets containing the note in full will
be used by the senior classes in the
Chicago high school during the first
days of the fall season.
The reply of President Wilson is
recognized by the nations of the
world as one of the most perfect
diplomatic documents issued in re-
cent years.
Europe. France and Russia bided
their time and awaited for the presi-
dent to assume the initiative.
This he did with firmness. a
frankness. a fearlessness that won
recognition at once.
His note is a classic of modern
diplomatic writing and the Chicago
high schools could have selected no
more potent example of scholarly
diction than the words of the presi-
dent
It is a fine text for the study OF
perfectly balanced English words
For brevity, conciseness and simple
ity. nothing within the last hall
century can be recalled to equal 1t
The United States has been looked
upon with doubling eyes when the
subject of diplomacy has been dis
cussed in the courts of Europe.
The Michiavelian diplomats of the
old world, schooled in the art of the
crafty use of words, stood astonishec
at the outspoken honesty of the presi
dent. Like other things that this
man has done since residing in the
white house, 1t was altogether with
out precedent.
Cloaked by the proverbial veneer
of diplomatic policy. statesmen O
Europe have veiled their Thoughts

MiTTEE TO ADVISE PROPERTY

tion that will be presented to them
within the next two weeks, asking
them either to ratify the action Of
the council and water commissioners

to the Arkansas Light and Power Co.,
or by their refusal to ratify the con.
tract authorize the council and COM
n.issioners to take the plant back.
Aldermen R. L. Nixon and Max

the water commissioners, were ap-
pointed by the mayor as members OF
the committee to prepare this state
ment for the public. They will be

JEWISH new YEAR
BEGINS SUNDAY NIGHT
MOST SOLEMN DAY IN JEWISH
CALENDAR, CELEBRATING THE
BIRTH OF RACE-BASED ON LE-
vITICUS AND NUMBERS.

On next Monday all orthordox
Jews will observe the Jewish New
Year Rosh ha Shana which COM
memorates the year 567S in Jewish
history. The Jewish New Year $
one of the most solemn days of the
Jewish calendar On this day the
Jew asks for forgiveness, and his de-
pendence on providence is empha-
sized The prayers and the special
hymns in celebration Of the New
Year are in this spirit.
The Jewish religious year opens
this season on September 16. The
day is called Rosh ha Shana and Is
observed not as a civil but as re-
ligious festival. Modern Jews use
the civil calendar for all ordinary
purposes but date their feasts and
fasts according to the moon. Ortho-
dox observers still observe two days
for the New Year to make distinc-
ton between the inhabitants of Pal
estine and all others, out reform Jews
have returned to the older method or
single day. The day begins at
sunset, a mode of reckoning that is
supported traditionally by the Bib
ical story of creation, in which the
evening is mentioned before the
morning. The year is 567S, count
ing from the traditional time of the
creation of the world.
The bible enjoins the celebration
in,
Leviticus, chapter %, and Numbers,
chapter 2S. The chief rite mention
ed is the blowing of the trumpet or
rams norm. still observed in the
synagog. The ceremonial of the day
is very impressive; it includes pray
ers of ancient and medieval origin
| and elaborate music. and the reading
| of the account of Abraham's sacri-
| flee of Isaac. The greeting of the
season is Leshana tova tikosevu
May you be inscribed in the book
| of life for good year
The lesson of the New Year is thai
men review the past year and loos
with confidence toward the future
Thus Rosh ha Shana Is called ths
''Day of Remembrance" and also
/ the DAY of Judgment" The influ
ence of religion on character, the
significance of the flight OF time
the suggestions of large-scopet
view OF life, are the themes OF th'
prayers and thought of Rosh n;
Shana.
The month of Tishri is the festiva
season of the Jewish calendar. Afte
the New Year" come the 40 day
of penitence," then the fast of th'
day of Atonement, and finally th'
Harvest festival. the feast OF Taber
nacles. This holly season is uni
versally observed by Jews, stirring
in them impulses for renewed vigo
in their religious and moral life.
