ORTHODOXY IS THREATENED
PatriarchaL Appearing Rabbis Not Representative of Young Jews of Present Day-War Handicap to Start At This Time.

A split in the Congregation Breth- ren Sons of Isreal is said to be inn mlnent, members of the Hebrew be- lief being divided among themselves on the questions of strict orthodoxy or modern form. One faction repre- sents the strong adherents to the an- Cient form of the faith, while the others believe that the future welfare of the Jewish people depends on the more up to date practice of the reli- zion. The situation today is that the advocates of the modern form are holding meetings for the purpose of practicing their religion and also with the intention of organizing a congregation that will ultimately re- suit in the full establishment of the denomination along the contemplated lines.

Paris, July 11.-Decision to accept the resignation of Foreign Secretary Von kuehlmann was taken Monday at a conference at German headquar- ters which was attended by the em- peror and Chancellor von Hertling and Admiral von Hintze, says a Eur ich dispatch to the Matin.
 The reported appointment of von HintZe as foreign secretary is consid- cred by French papers to be the work of the German general staff, chal- lenge to the majority in the Reich stag and a deliberate insult to south ern Germany. L'HOmme Libre says the military party is stronger in Ger many than the diplomats and in over throwing von Kuehlmann the militar- ists show plainly that they want a war to the end and we must not forget that"

Army Headquarters Blamed.

London. July 1.-The fall of von Kuehlmann was arranged by German army headquarters and is regarded in Germany as the introduction of an open pan-German regime under the control of the military leaders, dis patches from Holland say. It is de- scribed as the biggest of series of German victories.
 Reports of the appointment of Ad- miral von Hintze as foreign secretary are accepted as final by the pan-Ger- man papers which contend this in wolves no change of policy. This con tention, however, as well as the as- surance that von Hintze is not pan German, is false, according to the correspondent of the Daily Telegraph. Von Hintze is described by him as a swashbuckler and intimate and crea- ture of Admiral von Tirpitz, the pam German leader.

Socialists Refuse War Credit.

Much excitement was caused in the corridors of the ReiChStag Tuesday by a runnor that VOn Hintze had been appointed foreign secretary. After the socialists had informed the pres ident they were not prepared to vote the war credit until they knew what foreign policy von Hintze was going to pursue it was agreed, as a way out of a threatening situation which pos sibly would result from the majority socialists joining the minority group in rejecting the war credit, that the full sitting should be adjourned so the house could go into committee for a confidential discussion.
 The result of this gathering was that the semi official announcement of von Hintze's appointment took tentative form, merely saying he had been "named' as Von Kuehlmann's cnopnCcOr

Favor English Service.

The motive in the esta bHshment of the new congregation is primarily in the interest of the younger, Jewish generation, especially the native born Jews. One of the promoters said to- day: '"The services in the synagogue arc conducted in the Hebrew lan guage It is a dead language and it is not understood by the younger generation. The prayers are in the language and many of the children who have not mastered the language do not understand what they arc praying As a result they do not feel the inspiration of the prayers. The sermons are in Hebrew also and they cannot benefit by the lessons.
 Our idea is to secure a preacher, who will conduct the services in English, which language the younger generation understands. The preacher should be a highly educated man, versed in the Hebrew laws, who can give the correct interpretations. Be- cause the younger people do not now understand the language they are not taking the interest in the faith and are not attending services. Many of them are not taking part in the meetings.
 "One of the obstacles in the way of the formation of the new congrega- ton at the present time is the existing war conditions.'
 Orthodox Adherents.
 pr. Aaron Pinkus, one of the lead CTS of the orthodox faction, said this morning that the prospects for the formation of the separate COngrega- ton are not favorable now because of the war He said "The Jewish peo- ple are naturally most charitable people and all are now generously contributing to war relief funds. Pledges amount to from $50 to $200

Mitchcl'S RiderIeSS Horse.

Behind the caisson followed Major Mitchels horse with boots reversed in the stirrups and bearing also his revolver and sword. Next came his widow and relatives in carriages, fol- lowed by the pallbearers. Also in line were Major Mitchel's comrades in arms, aviators with whom he had trained for service in France.
 Military and city department bands fell in at appropriate intervals. The March from Saul" Nearer My God to Thee and other hymns were the music to which the procession marched as it made it's way slowly to the ca thedral on Fifth avenue.
 Aviators Drop Flowers.
 An airplane circle overhead as the march began, later to be joined hv six others which flew back and forth over the route dropping flowers. The hum of their motors carried to the crowds below a sorrowful significance, for it was as an aviator that MitchoI died.
 Meantime much of the mourning city's business was suspended. All exchanged closed for an hour and many concerns gave their employees opportunity to watch the procession or to attend the services at the cathed- ral which were open to the public.
 A theme of solemn music carried out from beginning to the end was a thrilling eature of all the funeral ceremonies. At the start the police glee club sang He Who Is Upright' as the casket was being placed on the gun carriage. Polling of church bells and the ringing of chimes mingled with the funeral marches of
