(Private Wire to A. +. Masten & Coz
NEW YORK. Dec, 29.-Thc markc;
was under the strongest sort OF bear
pressure during most Of today's trad
ing. With call money climbing until
1t reached IS per cent. he professionals
who arc against the market had plenty
OF encouragement to sell short and the?
did so freely. The whole list gave way
and the pressure was largely directed
against the strongest and most popular
stocks. The hammering did not bring
out as much liquidation as tho shor,
sellers had hoped for. however, and dur.
Ing the late trading there was a rush to
cover shorts that quickly changed the
tone OF the market. High priced money
until the first OF the year had been On
pected. but IS per cent one was hard
ly locke for. This situation cannot las;
long and the hcaction places the mar
ket in fine technical shape for u first
OF the yea rally.

III we could live our lives
again." thus sigh the old and
wintry men, wed shun the pit
falls and the gins. and sidetrack
fifty kinds OF sins which on our
souls have left their scars; we'd
hitch our wagons to the stars,
and strive to reach the higher
place, and cut. out all that's
cheap and base. We'd be ex-
amples to all men, if we could
live our lives again" When men
are old their dreaming gaze is
fixed upon the winding ways
that they have walked in long,
long years; at every turn some
trap appears that they'd have
summed had they been wise,
with wisdom OF the ancient
guys. On looking back the
road seems plain, distinct from
tangled path and lane, and old
men wonder why they trod in
bog and quicksand far abroad.
Wed keep away from marsh
and fen, could we but live our
lives again. We cannot make
the journey twice; one long ex-
cursion must suffice; the old
would teach us how to tread, to
cross the torrents slippy bed, to
climb the mountains beetling
side, traverse the forest dark
and wide, but youth turns deaf
or needless ears to all the wis
dom of the seers.

Presbyterian Church, with which my
Synagogue has always amicably affil-
lated, to stir up strife, albeit, as ! hav.
implied, under a friendly guise. To
quote the Talmud, ave want neither
your honey nor your sting"
1t seems to me that conversion to
Christianity should begin at home.
There are millions of so-called Chris
tians that could be Christianized. The
penitentiaries are full of them-and
it would be excellent work on the part
of Christian ministers to spend their
efforts on their coreligonists and let
the Jewish people work out their own
salvation. Since we gave Christianity
Savior, think we can do this! l

ned, is more than mere sop to nation
al conceit and does not threaten the
addition of a new Chaucinism. The
Jew has no visions today, any more
than he had in the remote days of his
national independence, of his proph-
cts who placed righteousness above
power and had the courage to predict
the final consummation of peace and
brotherhood. Accordingly, some two
years ago, the Zionist convention at
Pittsburgh laid down a platform of
six fundamental principles Of equity,
in accordance with which the Jewish
Palestine is to be governed democrat
ically upon policies of universal edu-
cation, female suffrage, equitable OPP
portunity.
That these principles will commend
themselves to the Zionist of other
lands is more than probable. Whether
American Zionists will retain in the
movement, after full peace is restored
the dominant position which the war
emergency assigned to them and to
which they have proved themselves
adequate, the future will prove. Pos
sibly the next Zionist World Congress
may come to this country after the
devoted, paramount services which
American Jews have rendered, not
only to the Zionist cause, but to Jew
