There was no necessity for the East
Side Wireless News Association to dis
turb the ether waves last night in sum-
Louie, father of the clan. being presi-
dent. general manager. division super
nitendent and traffic supervisor Of the
only medium Of communication not yet
brought under the blighting attention Of
Mr.. Burleson.
Throughout the East Side and further
afeld. too. those fortunate enough to be
hidden to the banquet which marked the
engagement OF Julia, Louie's second
daughter. to Herman Silver of Brooklyn
hastened to the hall Of the Day Nursery
Of the Daughters Of Israel, 220
Fifth street, to celebrate fitttngly the
happy occasion, and also, unofficially as
It were. to congratulate another Of
Louis's daughters on her recovery from
dangerous illness.
Everybody who is anybody on the East
Side was there. and 20 were several gen.
tlemen whose fame covers wider hori-
con among others Samuel s. Koenig,
Republican county chairman; Represen-
tativs Henry NJ. Goldfogle. Assistant
District Attorney Joseph Edelson. not
to mention every member Of the Zeltner
War Savings Association. Louis Zeltner.

such cases made and provided,
The Deputy Commissioner of Chari-
ties, DR.. Samuel Buschler. presided as
toastmaster, and among other guests,
according to the society editor of the
Dov, were Judge Alexander Wolf and
Mrs. Wolf Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Bsu-
man. Adolf Rosenbaum. who modestly
mentioned that he is proprietor OF Little
Hungary Mrs. Schwartz Of Jersey City
and her daughter Sadie and Mrs. Leo
Miner and her daughter jeanette, all the
way from Meridian, Miss.
Cantor NJ Kanewsky delighted every
body from Mr.. Goldfogle down to the
youngest member Of the Zeltner War
Savings Association with his renditions
of patriotic songs and so did Louis
Goldberg. who came all the way from
Sullivan county to add to the gayety OF
the occasion.
But brilliant as was the assembled
company It paled into insignificance, or
at least 1t paled somewhat. beside the
viands which loaded groaning tables be-
fore the 200 guests. OF course there
was gefilltefish and noodle soup NIT
mandel and there was also chicken
fricasse and roast duck and roast capon
and grape fruit and water ices and sal
ads and relishes too numerous to be re-
membered separately. And then there
was the Hatikvah. the bread which was
cut by DR.. Buschler with a prayer for
the good fortune OF the bride and BRIDE
groom to be.
The light which beats upon all public
characters has oonverged upon Louie
for so long that he scarcely blushed
under the tributes which were paid him
by the POSTMASTER and the speakers,
Mr.. Goldfogle. Samuel g. Koenig, Assist

POSTMASTER recalled the Talmudical,
saying that marriages were made in
heaven and concluded there that the
happy couple on his right had been
engaged for cons. probably through
Louies manipulation OF the ether waves
which vibrate over the East Side The
occasion, he said, was a great event in
Louie Zeltner had made or at least re-
corded in the city.
Mr.. Goldfogle called Louie a true
friend of humanity-not the friend who
succors with a checkbook. but in other
more difficult ways, and Samuel 8.
Koenig hailed the host as the true in
ventor of the wireless when, on that
menora BILE day in the history OF science,
he assembled TO his roottop and phoned
THE SUN story from the uttermost
limits of The Bronx. Assistant District
Attorney Edelson. after paying "a tribute
to women. which marked him as moth

spoke of the breakdown Of race preju-
dice which had resulted from the war.
'"rhe Christian soldier" he said, fell
dying into the arms OF the Jewish SOL
dler and the Jewish soldier repeated his
dying message to the Christian at his
side. Never be ashamed OF being a
Jew-boast OF It and never be ashamed,
either, OF being an American"
And so with dancing and music the
