WILL HELP AUSTRIA
Supreme Council Takes Initial Steps Toward Giving Relief to Famine Stricken, War Wrecked Country.

Paris, Dec 16.-Initial measures of relief for Austria were taken by the supreme council today after that body had heard a lengthy presentation of his nations difficulties presented by Dr. Karl Renner, the Austrian chan cellor. It was decided, as a first step in relieving the Austrian food short age, 3O,OOO tons of food should be dis patched to Trieste, to be shipped thence into Austrian territory.
 The general opinion expressed i1 the council was that the cooperation of the United States in the Austrian relief measures was absolutely neces- sary and that the credits for the pur- chases which Austria must make could be accorded only by America.
 Although it was officially an- nounced that the health of Premier Clemencean was perfectly satisfactory this morning and no bulletin was is- sued, the meeting of the, council was held at his residence.
 The council took up the question of the desire of Vorarl Berg, the principality in the northwest Tvrol, to detach itself from Austria. It was decided to use every means to assure the unity of the princ1pallty with Austria as provided for by the treaty of St. Germain.

FEAST OF LIGHTS
 IS OBSERVED HERE
New Britain Jews Make Prepara.
 tionS for "Channukah"

With the coming of sunset this eve ming, orthodox Jews of New Britain and the world over will begin the ob- ssrvance and celebration of "Channu- kah," also known as "The Feast of Lights" and the Festival of the Dedi- cation. There are no marked prepara- tons for the festival for such it is am ong the Jews who still hold to their old customs, and there are no outward signs of rejoicing. The ceremo ony con- s1sts simply in the lighting of candles in the homes at evening for eight days one candle being lighted for the first day, two fr the second, and continu- ing until there are eight candles. The festival lasts for eight days.
 Although rated in the traditional calendar. as 8 minor festival, Chan nukah," which is also known as the
 F'east of Lights is of major sig nl1cance, as 1t commemorates one of the most heroic and far-reaching vic tor1es for the fatherland and the faith
 Historic Background.
 The historic background of the fes- tlVal IS furnished by the stirring events from about 16S to 166 E. C. The vary ing fortunes of war which followed the breakup of the empire of Alexander the Great left Judea under the domi- natlon Of the Graeco- Syrian dynasty known as the House of Seleucus. The king was Antiochus the Fourth, sur named Epiphanes, the illustrious, but Who was derisively nicknamed "Epi- manes,' the Mailman. He set out tc oppress the Jews, to destroy their faith ana set up among them the Greek cult and the worship of their deities.
 At the command of Antiochus Jeru- 1
 crated and heather rites instituted
 The Jews rebelled, and, commanded by Mattathias, the high priest, defeat ed the Greek legions. A year of guer- fila warfare followed. during which Mattathias. died. His son, Judah, the Maccabee, which designation, meaning the Hammer, was given him for the mighty blows he had struck for liberty and his faith, took command of the Jewish army, and, aided by his foul brothers, defeated in turn the armie! or Appolonius, Seron, FGorsias, Lysia. and Nicanor. The victory at Beth Zu1 in 166 B. C., finished the resistance O.
 the Greeks.
 Jews Enter Jerusalem.
 The way to Jerusalem was now opel and tho Jews entered the Holy City They overturned the heather altars destroyed the idols, purified the tenn
 pie shrines, and on the 25th of tn
 month Kislev, exactly three years afte
 it had been profaned, the temple, amit tho rejoicing of the people, was re dedicated to the worship of the on, God. From this the festival is called the Feast of Dedication. The celebra tion lasted eight days, after the man ner of the dedication of the tenn plc O. Solomon. ' There is a legend according tt which the celebration grew out of tn, fact that when the Mir Tomid," o, the perpetual lamp, was to be relight ed in the temple, only a small cruse o the sacred oil could be found. It con tained an amount usually used in on, day. but miraculously it lasted eigh days until new supply could be ob tained
