CHANUKAH FEAST
BEGINS THURSDAY
Commentaries Victory of Ju-
dab Over SyrianS.

The festival of Chamulah, which
will be celebrated in all Jewish
homes for eight days beginning with
Thursday evening. November 2Sth,
embodies the elements of the pres
ent world struggle. The festival com
memorates the historic incidents re.
lated in the apocryphal Books of
the Maeeabees.' The heroic suffer.
ing of the jews of that day finds a
modern parallel in the plight Of the
Belgian people In many Jewish
household, the infamous Antiochus
Epiphanes of the story will be com
pared to his successor in spirit. the
inhuman Emperor of Germany. Like
his modern embodiment, the ancient
tyrant of Syria found the land of Is
rael stumbling block in the path.
way of his ambition for territorial
expansion. In order to destroy all
vestiges of independence in Judea,
this tyrant sought to crush the jew
ish religion and to set up his pagan
i cult in its place. For three years
his ruthless armies devastated and
despolled city and hamlet. Then Ju-
dab the Lion arose and with Gods
help smote' the hosts of the Syrian
and rolled back the armies of oppres-
sion. He swept the enemies from the
land, rebuilt the cities, established
safety and rededicated the Temple
In Jerusalem to the worship OF God.
The anniversary is therefore known
as the Festival OF Rededieation
! (Chanukah) II is home festival
and is signalized by lighting candles.
( In these troubled days the heart Of
every jew will go forth to the Bel.
gian sufferers and will find encour-
asement in the message of the fes-
/ tival, which is addressed to Belgium
as well as to Israel and to all hui
manity. 1t Is summed up in the
words Of Prophet Zacharia read on
this festival; mot by might and not
by power, but by My Spirit saith the
Lord of hosts"

CHARGING LIBERTY BONDS.
First ISSUES May Be Excharsed for
Third Bonds Up to November 9.

The privilege of conversion which
arose in consequence of the issue Of
per cent bonds of the Third Liberty
Loan will expire on November next
and under existing law cannot be ex-
tended or renewed.
Delay in exercising the privilege
will result in overburdening the bank
ing institutions of the country and the
Treasury Department by making It
necessary to handle all conversions at
the last moment and may result in
many cases in the loss of the privilege
of conversion altogether.
Holders Of coupon bonds are strong
ly advised to exchange them for regis
tered bonds in order to protect them
selves against the risk Of loss. theft
and destruction of their bonds.
The banks throughout the country,
rs a matter of patriotic service, win
doubtless all assist bondholders in con,
serting and registering their bonds.
