YOM KIPPUR
Jews Prepare for Hottest Of All Days
in Calendar

At the setting of the sun today
Jewry everywhere will begin the
twenty-four hours observance, of the
hottest day in their religious calendar.
Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) is
the great fast of Israel, for orthodox
and reform alike, who feel the throb
of IsraePs historical consciousness 1t
is Israel's Sabbath of Sabbaths, and it
has a firm hold on the Jew because
It's poetry appeals to his soul and
gives voice to his faith.
The fundamental concepts of the
Atonement are: Sin is rot master of
man. Man is born pure and innocent,
lowered with capacity to become God
like Sin is a weak will Man csn
overcome sin and elect his salvation
through character The Atonement
Day invites man to recognize his
shortcomings and sins, repent by the
assertion of his will, make his peace
with his Maker and his fellow men,
and begin a new life, whose doings
may reflect the better view and will.
Offers Hand OF Forgiveness.
God is the Father; all men are His
children. CAS- a father pitieth his
children, so the Lord pities them that
fear Him" AS child of God, man is
certain of his Fathers forgiving
mercy. Reliance on Him deceiveth
not" "A broken and a contrite heart
God will not despise." Yom Kippur
offers the divine hand of forgiveness
to those who humbly return to God
In Scriptural times, the high priest
on this day made triple atonement;
for himself, his household and for the
people" This, however, must not be
understood in the sense of priestly
mediation between God and man. The
fact that the high priest was himself
compelled to make atonement for his
own sins is conclusive evidence that
he could not act as intercessor for the
people Man himself can effect atone
ment with his Maker by breaking with
his sinful past and consecrating the
new life to virtue and rectitude.
Sins Must BE Expiated.
The Day of Atonement expiates sins
between man and his Maker, but for
sins between man and man the condi-
ton precedent to atonement is the re-
dress of the injury Man must be rec
onciled with the neighbor he has
wronged before he can ask pardon of
God.
Atonement is effected by humbling
oneself before God in sincere peni-
tence, in abstaining from all worldly
pursuits and pleasures, by day Of
devout devotion, and thus fully feel
the grief of sin and the beauty and
holiness of the correct life.

NEGRO TROOPS TERRORIZE
RESIDENTS AT SHIPLEY STATION
One Man Injured in Rampage Gang
From Camp Meade Became
Abusive.

Besides the crooks and other law
less element that have drifted this
way and throughout this county from
Camp Meade, there is another ele-
ment to be feared
The inhabitants of Shipley Station,
this county, were terrorized yester-
day morning when a band of negro
soldiers from Camp Meade became
abusive and declared they would shoot
up the town. 1t was reported the
trouble started when two Of the men
picked an argument with Arthur Stall
lings, the local blacksmith They then
went to the camp and returned with
an autotruck load of their fellows and
began to terrorize the community.
Stallings declared the men were un-
der the influence of liquor, and were
otherwise acting in a disorderly man
ner.
The Brooklyn police, to whom the
fracas was reported, declared they
had no jurisdiction in the matter. The
Meade authorities were notified. They
are of the opinion the trouble was
started by persons outside the camp.
and it is not expected any steps will
be taken to court-martial the soldiers.
Stallings was slightly injured in a
fist fight with one of the men. No one
else was injured and nc shots were
reported to have been fired After
the excitement had subsidized some of
the negroes went to Baltimore. the

so in no uncertain manner If any OPP
position develops to the plank the

promises of support yesterday, and
the indications were that the party
will adopt a platform based upon a
straight declaration of principles.
Congressman Mudd is as emphatic
in his Endorsement as are the other
leaders. Said he: THE people of

This chart is one of a new series
which will eventually replace the
older charts Of the same scale Be
sides the new information available
on the new chart, it is an improve
ment over the older charts in two inn
portant features-the meridians are
parallel to the side borders, and there
is but one depth unit, the foot.
In the ocean area Of the chart the
principal information afforded relates
to the western approach to Lookout
Blight; the approach to Beaufort En-
trance; and the approach to Bogue
Inlet and three smaller inlets to the
south and west On account Of the
frequent changes in the locations and
depths over the bars of these fnlets.

At the present time the inland
waterway from New York southwark

BOYS ARE PRAISED
HELP TO FILL GAPS
Ccused by Labor Shortage on Farm and
in Other Industries

Theodore Roosevelt praises the pa
triotic spirit which is being shown by
American boys and young men not
ordinarily engaged in productive labor
who are stepping in to fill the gaps
caused by shortage of labor on the
farms and in industry. In letter to
William E. Hall, National Director of
the United States Boys Working
Reserve, Department of Labor, the
former President declares that the
boys patriotism can be counted on to
make him stick where needed in this
time of emergency, even when higher
wages at times tempt him to go else
where. Mr.. Roosevelt expresses his
pleasure over the prospect of having
boys trained for essential industries
to take the places of men called to the
front Speaking of the value of the
Boys Working Reserve, he says:
lone Of the great benefits you con-
fer is that of making the boy realize
that ne is part of Uncle Sans team !;
that he is doing mis- share in this great
war: that he holds his services in
trust for the nation, and that though
it is proper to consider the question Of
material gain and the question of his
own desires, yet that what ne must
most strongly consider at this time is
where his services will do most good
TO our people as a whole, earnestly
wish you every success in your wise
and patriotic effort.

DR.. S. S. HEPBURN GOES
UNDER SURGEONS KNIFE
Suffering Of Kidney Trouble He Was
Operated Upon Yesterday at
Emergency Hospital

DR.. s. S. Hepburn,a prominent ply
stefan of the city, is in serious con-
dition at the Emergency Hospital
where he was operated upon late yes
terdy afternoon for complicated kidney
troubles. The patient rallied from
the operation and passed fairly rest
full night, it is stated, but his c0ndi-
tion is regarded as serious, owing to
the fact that the operation was deli
cate one.
DR.. Oliver Shipley who is attached
to the Army cantonment at Camp
Meade was the operating surgeon. He
was assisted by Surgeon Raymond
Spear of the Navy, member of THE
Naval Hospital staff, and several of the
physicians attached TO the staff of
Emergency Hospital DR.. Hepburn
had been complaining for the last sew
eral days, it is said. and his condition
became such yesterday that an imme.
date operation was regarded as neces-
sary to correct the trouble.
