} The report that Isaac Kirkpatrick
was killed in France has been confirm
ed by the adiutant general at Wash
Iington. When the report was received
in Tucumcari through letter from
Ed. Burlington it could not be under
stood why it had not been reported
from Washington, so Mr.. Kirkpatrick
wired the Adjutant General at Wash
ington for the facts. The answer came
that Isaac Kirkpatrick was killed in
Lorraine, France on Nov. 10, in an
automobile accident"
No more particlars could be had at
present. The death occurred the day
before the armistice was signed on
the day that everything was excite
ment and the armies were fighting
their hardest battle. Perhaps Isaac
was driving the auto or perhaps it was
through the carelessness of some other
driver. Isaac was a young man who
did not get excited but went at his
work in business-like manner He
was anxious to have part in down.
ing kaiserism and was glad when he
was allowed TO go across.
When war was declared by the U.
S. Isaac was attending law school at
Valparaiso, Ind. He went to Chicago
and tried to enlist, but on account of
his eyes he was turned down. He was
not satisfied so tried at another place
but he had been using his eyes too
much at studies, and could not get by.
He came home giving up school work
and began treating his eyes. A few
months later he went to FL Paso and
had no trouble passing the eXamina-
ton. He was given work in the Quar-
termaster's Department, but there was
no chance TO get away from FL Paso
and go to France, so he was transfer
red TO the Motor Transport Division.
He gradually worked his was up the
line until he received an appointment
as lieutenant through merit and hard
efforts to do his utmost.
Isaac was then owed to the east
ern coast TO prepare for trip across
the big pond. He was glad when the
day came to sail for France, writing
his mother he said: Il have had my
wish granted, we will go across soon,
have been ordered to buy my overseas
outfit" A few weeks ago the News
published three lettcrr from Isaac, one
of which was written two days before
he was killed.
II is with sadness this news is chron-
cled and was hoped that the report
published last week was a mistake,
but the report was true and today
there are many sad hearts in Tucum-
carl. 1t had been hoped that he would

story Of the war as seen by himself,
but this cannot be. Isaac is lying
somewhere in France. He gave all
he had that freedom and liberty would
survive but did not live to see the out
come. His memory will 5e written
in history as another Quay county boy
who fought and died for his country
and those he loved. His parents, Mr..
and Mrs. W. l.. Kirkpatrick, and his
brother, Jack, have the sympathy of
the entire community in this sad be-
reavement, the shock being so much
greater coming as it did several weeks
after the end of the war They had
thought him safe and had planned on
his homecoming, but they can rest
assured that their son and brother was
a young man who was an honor to his
country and parents, every ounce Of
his blood being true blue.

 On the first of Tishri (25th of Sep tember) on the eve of the Jewish New Year, called Rosh Hashanah, war is declared to the greatest enemy of hu- manity, to Satan, to the evil desires and inclinations of men.
 The blowing of the horn is the bat tlecry of the Jew. The war began.
 Then follow ten days of prepara- tion for a decisive battle, the ten in tervening days between New Years and the Day of Atorement, called 'the ten days of repentance"
 On the Day of Atonement, which occuraaYn the 4th of October, the de- cisive battle takes place. All must be dressed in white robes, the gar ment of the dead, that is, be prepared for the worst. Before this last and decisive battle all grudges and cnni- ties must be given up. The Jewish army must face it's foe united in or der to win victory.
 The Jews have returned victorsl On the fifteenth day of Tishri, that occurs on he 9th of October on the feast of Tabernacles, they celebrate their victory by marching in process sion to the triumphal arches, to their booths, carrying "branches of palm trees and "the fruit of the goodly tree' as signs of victory.
 Ended is the past year and it's curses to the optimistic Jew, begun has the New Year and it's blessings. Ancient Israel nalls up the coffin of the sinful and scrrowful rast with a sigh of relief. Young Israel rocks the cradle of the new, born year. which is pl onising and full of happy expectations for all.
 The name of the Jewish New Year in the Bible is, "the day of blowing" the trumpets, or rem em br ance of the blowing of the trumpet Various meanings have been assigned to the blowing of the horn. Maimonides considered that it's purpose was to awake the people from their spiritual slum Der 10 prepare for the solemn Humiliation of the Day of Atonem ent.

 In the afternoon they go to the riv- CT that contains fish and shake the ends of their garments as though casting their sins into the waters in illustration of the prayer they re- cite, n passage of Micah: Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea-
 Four reasons are assigned for this ceremony: 1. It is to pray to God to be as fruitful as the fish. ?. To commem crate the sacrifice of Isaac, which according to- an old tradition, Abraham made on this day, in spite of the wiles of Satan, who sought to prevent the patriarch from obeying the Lord, by causing a mighty stream to rise on .Abraham's journey to Mount Moriah, which would have drowned both the father and the son but for the prayer of faithful Abraham 3.

JEWS OBSERVING
 THEIR NEW YEAR
Celebration Begins Tonight and
 Continues Tomorrow

Rosh Hashanah,, the eve of the Jewish New Year, is to be appropri- ately celebrated by the Jews of the city, beginning this evening and last ing through tomorrow. The holiday with this faith, starts with the setting of the sun and lasts two days, until the sun has set again. At seven o'clock this evening the holiday will start with services at the Talmud Torah hall. Tomorrow morning Rabbi Noah Rosenthal will preach a sermon at Talmud Torah hall. There will be services tonight and tomorrow at the Congregation Beth El pr. Bernard Kaplan, of New York, will conduct the services there tonight and Rabbi Segal will conduct the services at the synagogue.
 Just what the significance of this celebration is, that means so much to the Jewish race has been carefully told in the following article written by Rabbi Noah Rosenthal of this city:
 Every year, on the last Sunday of the Jewish month Elul (August) the sound of the trumpet (called Shofar) is heard in the Jewish camp, call to arms. Mobilization of the entire Jewish forces takes place.
 . At midnight the beadle, hammer in hand, passes the Jewish quarters, knocks at doors and cries, signals and voices the alarm. Slum bering Israel aWakes, behold the watchful Israel does not slumber neither sleep. Through the stiffness of the night shadows in the form of human beings, armed with prayer books, carrying lanterns are moving from all

works are stopped. Tn the synagogue players are offered and psalms recit- ed, portions of the Law and Prophets are read. All the members of the congregation are wishing each other, May you be written down for a happy New Year." to which it is re- piled, And you likewise" This wish arises from the fact that the Jews believe that on this annual day of Judgment all deeds of man are weighed, whether they be good or evil the destinies of every individual and every nation are fixed for the en- suing year, and the death and life of every one is determined, as well as the manner ofsdeath.
 In fact the ancient astronomers of the different nations have given the figure of an aged man of stern aspect, holding a pair of scales in his right hand and an open book in his left, as the sign of Zodiac for this month, thus expressing the religious idea of this festival
 The service comprises prayers of a threefold kind, which are as follows: 1. A series of texts are. recited bear ing on the supreme rule of God which are called of Homage, in which the speedy approach of the Kingdom of God Is invoked, when all mankind shall possess the true knowledge of their Creator and unite in the wor- ship of ther supreme Benefactor. 2. Then follow prayers acknowledging the OmnisCicnce, providence, and su- premacy of the Creator, and beseech- ing him to remember His creatures in pity and temper His judgment with mercy which gre called Remembrance 3. At last prayers celebrating that future jubilee when all men will be free from the bondage of error, and acquire perfection in the knowledge of the only God which are called, Sounding of Trumpets. The horn is blown after each one. They use on this occasion rams horn, to remind God of the ram which AIbra ham sac rificed instead of his only son Isaac and of the covenant made with the patriarchs.
 And this readiness for sacrifices of our most dear ones for the name of God and for the sake of cur belief surely confounds all our accusers, even Satan himself, who on this day of iudgn ent appears before Gods tribunal to accuse the children of Israel.

GIBSON STARTS
CARS AGAIN ON
CH|T|NA TRAIL

The Gibson auto stage line, which
made a record for prompt deliv-
cries of mail and passengers during
the past summer, will resume bust
ness on the Richardson highway be-
tween Fairbanks and Chitina, ac-
cording TO information received from
the upper town today. Gibson's
action probably was prompted by
the difficulty passengers are having
at present in making the trip over
the trail, and his announcement
that he intended to inaugurate a
winter service has been followed by
deluge of applications for res
ervations.
Two of the Gibson cars will be
sent out within the next couple of
days, loaded with passengers, and
two more loads are in sight for
the coming week.
Gibson announces that he will
use horses over the summit, con-
Meeting with autos on the Chitina
end, operated under the direction
of Poh Chaldop
This action on the part of Glib
son probably is the result of the
fact that the Brewer stage line,
which has the mail contract, is hav
ing difficulty handling the passenger
traffic in a satisfactory manner.
The mail stages have been delayed
considerably of late. and the fact
that Gibson has secured several
loads of passengers would seem TO
indicate that travellers have con-
fidence in his ability to get them
through without delay.
The return of Gibson TO the trail
will add considerably to the number
of cars in operation, and may re-
suit in reduced fares to the coast.
Besides Brewer and Gibson, there
are at least two others in the pass
enger carrying business now-Kar-
stems and Hainzinger-with occa-
sionally a private machine.

GETTING
DOGS READY FOR
MUSH TO COAST

The Mike Cooney dog stage,
which pioneered the way across
Broad Pass last winter, will hit
the trail again next week, the plan
of Mr.. Cooney being to inaugurate
a regular passenger service between
ends of steel on the Government
railroad
Mr.. Cooney expects to get away
from Nenana about Wednesday and
will make a start over the trail on
the day following, from the end of
steel. The first trip will be made
chiefly for the purpose of breaking
trail and making such arrangements
as may be necessary for the main
tenance of regular schedule
throughout the winter. He will be
prepared, however. to carry consid-
cradle baggage for mushers plan
ming to cross over to the Anchor
age end.
The distance between ends of
steel now is less than 1870 miles,
with good wagon road part of the
way and a good double-ender trail
the rest of the distance, which in
Isures much better going than was
possible last winter 1t is also
probable that there will be consid-
cradle more travel this winter,
enough, Mr.. Cooney believes, to
keep the trail we'll broken at all
times.
