The Withefed Hand
BY CHARLES II. LIE FEvRE.

Nature marked him with a blemlsh
To portray a crippled soul,
Marked a heart depraved and hellish.
Lusting after human toll
Right divine to WELD a scepter,
Under which he claims command,
Was not granted to a leper
Cursed with a withered hand.
Lineage transcended nature,
Prejudice betrayed the land,
Wisdom yielded away TO "kultur,"
Fortune graced the withered hand.
Then most solemn obligations
Came beneath an evil spell;
Laws, so long revered by nations,
AS mere scraps OF paper fell.
Tortures most excrutiating.
lendlsh as his whlms demand,
Very soon were indicating
Presence OF the witheBed hand.
Bllghting as his tear-bomb filling,
Motherhood by violence
Children malmlng, women killing,
Show'd depravity OF sense.
Wrong may triumph for an hour;
Right must finally prevail
Tyranny will lose It's power:
Freedom shall the nations hail
From the nightmare, he'll awaken,
And the fool win understand
That the scepter has been taken
From the cruel withered hand

Raising Taxes and Bond Loans by
Ruling Work, Industry and Business
from the Ne w York SUM

These remarks are from the Monthly
Circular of the National City Bank:
ut is important to understand that
the industrial task lwar work for the
year, comes before the financial task.
The work must be done or the money
does not need to be raised, and If the
work is done there can be no doubt
about the ability Of the country to set
tie with itself If S20000, 100000 or $780,
000,c00000 of work IS done for the gov
ernment, II Is certain that work on pri-
vate account will be curtailed, and this
will mean that private incomes will be
more largely at the disposal Of the gov
ernment through taxation and loan"
II is also important TO understand that
to chop a mans legs off is not the way
to speed him along In foot race II
you say that Of itself the. divertng TO
war destruction of SO huge a part OF
the productive capacity Of the nation as
$4,000, 100000 or S30000000,000 a year
makes it easy for the people OF the
country to meet that seconomic waste
because they have that much less OF
other things on which TO spend their
money, then you might as we'll say that
TO divert the whole productive capacity
Of the nation. every penny Of 1t, to war
destruction, will be yet easier, because
the people Of the country will have
nothing at all TO take care Of but war
destruction-not even bread and butter
The one statement is no greater nonsense
than the other, whether printed in the
circuIar of a leadinu hank or havvlcd
out OF the mouth OF political luna
tic.
The work, business and industry Of
this country cannot be entirely or in
large part paralyzed for normal pur-
pose without automatically paralyzing
the nation for war purpose. This is
not a question OF cuisines as usual !;
our productive machinery must can
tinue to be adjusted to take care Of
our war needs. 1t is a question, after

"SYIUM" CEREMONY
AT SYNAGOGUE

All those who are interested IN Or
thodox Judaism win have a rare oc-
casfon to witness one Of the most an
Client ceremonies which viii take place
tomorrow, Sunday evening, in Adas
Dodesoh Synagoge and directed by
Rabbi David B. Swiren.
The ceremoney Is known as the
"Syium." or closing exercises Of the
study OF one Of the books Of the
Talmud.
It was soon after Rabbi Swiren had
assumed his duties as leader Of the
Jewish Orthodox community that he
organized a study circle known as
"Hebrah Afshnah win Jacob" for
the study Of the Talmud in the original.
Every Saturday afternoon numerous
Jewish men assemble in the synagogue
and listen TO the interesting discourses|
on ancient Judaism, given by the
Rabbi.
This Saturday the Arst book Of the
voluminous Talmud will be finished
and in honor thereof, Q party has been
arranged for tomorrow evening" at 8
o'clock. at the synagogue, Sixth and
French streets
After the ceremonies en- address viii
be delivered by Rabbi Swiren. followed
by hymns, songs and refreshments.
The following women are IN charge OF
the refreshments: Mrs. NJ. keil, Mrs.
L. Topkls, Mrs L. Slonsky, Mrs. D.

that IS done, OF trying to make bricks

try and business. II is a question OF
trying to make the nation powerful and
victorious by impoverishing the great
mass OF It's people who must, in the
very nature OF things, support not
only themselves but their troops; in
deed, in as full measure as possible,
their allies.
II there is not work on private ac-
count, then there will be nothing for
the Government TO tax on that ac-
count. II there is not industry on pri-
vate account. then there Will be moth.
ing for the Government to tax on thai

to the Government on that account.
In truth, IL there is not work-and
the bulk OF the nations work-or
private account; II there is not in
dustry-and the bulk OF the nations in
dustry-on private account; If there
is not business-and the bulk OF the
nations business-on private account.
then the seventy or eighty million OF
the people OF the United States who are
not lighting in the war or engaged in
the making OF war supplies must go
naked and starve, must become impo-
tent to support those who do fight at
the front.
If the nation, three thousand miles
behind the firing line. does not work
on private account, does not produce
on private account, does not do busi-
ness on private account, with all Its
might and main, to the last ounce OF
its capacity, striving increasingly, des-
perately, TO make up the war waste
so that there always will be surplus
Of natural wealth TO give TO the Gov
ernment TO throw into the war. then
the nation must fail its yalorous
troops on the battlefield, must fail its
allies who have hung on heroically for
four years, waiting for us-must fail
all mankind that is still obedient to
the will of God.
