OUR WEEKLY LETTER FROM
NEW YORK.

Special Correspondence from the In
ternational Jewish Press Bureau.
The great protest demonstration
against the pogroms in the Ukraine
turned out to be more of success
than was expected
No less than $4,000 marched in the
procession from New York's lower
East Side to 57th street, where the
protest meeting in Carnegie Hall
took place. The greatest impression
was made by the division Of Jewish
soldiers and sailors, which contained
$4,000 uniformed men. This number
was given to us by the military mar
shall Of the demonstration, Lieutenant
Treifler, who reviewed all the Jewish
service men as they marched past in
close formation, according to military
orders.
Naturally there were some features
of the demonstration which proved to
be disappointing. The first disappoint-
ment was that the Jewish demonstra-
ton was not permitted to march thru
Fifth Avenue. This wealthy thor
fare to which New York accords
such pride, and where there constant
ly promenade thousands of the class
of Americans who have the power to
exert their influence on the public of
America, was cloaed to us.
Our second disappointment was that
owing to the poor arrangements, Car
negie Hall was not filled, although in
the case of the protest against Poland,
the much larger Madison Square Gar
den was packed to the last inch. At
the present meeting, thousands re-
manned standing in the streets, be-
cause the police did not permit any
one near the hall without ticket, and

Mr.. Hexter told of the high ideals
for which the B'nai Birth stood, and
admonished his hearers to live up to
these ideals. He said no Jew is a
Jew unless he is thorough Jew, and
proud of being such. He spoke Of the
excellent results being accomplished
by the Independent Order of B'nai
Birth everywhere, and appealed to the
present generation to follow in the
paths of the great leaders Of the Or
der who have passed away.
Samuel Schloss is the only surviv-
ing charter member of Memphis
Lodge No. 35, l. o. B. B. and he read
complete history of the lodge from
the time of it's inception up to the
present day. 1t was an interesting his
torical review, and will be preserved
in the archives of the Memphis lodge.
Sunday morning the initial cere-
monies were given incident to the
Goth anniversary of Memphis Lodge
No. 35, when a large class Of new
members were initiated into member
ship in the local B'nai Birth lodge.
The initiation ceremony was conduct
ed by the three grand lodge officers,
who came here to participate in the
festivities. These officers are A. Lee
Oberdorfer, Birmingham, Ala, grand
president; Victor H. Hexter, Dallas,
first vice president, and A. B. Freyer,
Shreveport, La, secretary and vice.
president. They were assisted with the
initiation by members of the MEMPHIS
lodge. Following the initiation a smo-
ker was enjoyed, and addresses made
by the grand lodge officers Seymour
l.. Lee, Samuel Schloss, Rabbi Fine
scriber and several of the new men,
bers.
During the afternoon a delightful
auto ride was participated in by the
grand lodge officers and members Of
the various committees.

THE WISH ONITOR

many who had tickets, seeing the
great crowds before the hall, went
away without attempting to enter, be-
cause they thought that the place
was already over-filled.

I. 0. B. B. HOLDS BIG CELEBRA-
TON IN MEMPHIS, TENN.
By Joseph M. Samfield.

VI IIe peace treaty winch was done to
death at Washington last Wednesday
showed the basest ihgratitude to our
great leader whom we followed into
a war which America fought for no
other purpose than to bring peace to
the whole world" Thus spoke A. Leo
Oberdorfer Of Birmingham, Ala,
grand president of District Grand
Lodge No. 7, Indepedent Order of
B'nai Birth, at the Popular Avenue
Temple Sunday night in an impass-
Toned address as part of the program
of the Sixtieth anniversary of the
Memphis B'nai Birth lodge.
1t was in the course of his remarka
relating to the patriotism of the Am
erican Jew that Mr. .Oberdorfer bitter
ly condemned the rejection of the
peace treaty. Continuing he said,
"these expressions are my individual
feelings and are not intended as the
expressions of any other particular in
dividual or of the great order of which
l am the representative. If you feel
as | do you would rise en- masse and
send protest after protest to those re-
sponsible for this injustice to the Am
erican people. We followed leader
who had accomplished things that no
predecessor ever accomplished and we
longed for the time when there would
no longer be among tn enations large
everywhere and the Jew is against all
of these"
The war is over, the peace treaty
is not signed, and we had two years
within which to withdraw. My friends
the graves of France marked with the
star of David tell of the patriotism of
the Jew. The world is changed world
since the war-there is radicalism, an
archy, l. W. W. ism and Bolshevism
where, and the Jew is against all of
these"
Mr.. Oberdorfer then spoke of the
mission of the Independent Order of
B'nai Birth, and told of the great al
truistic and philanthropic work being
conducted by that order. He said the
B'nai Birth is a great institution, but
that it behooved the Jew to make it
greater, and to help solve the prob
lems Of their co-religionists in the
smaller communities. Mr.. Oberdorfer
in his address made a great impress
sion upon his audience, among whom
were many non-Jews.
Other speakers upon the program
at the Temple were Chancellor Israel
H. Peres, Victor H. Hextr of Dallas
and Samuel H. Schloss. Judge Peres
spoke upon "The B'nai Birth and the
Republic" He said that not until 1888
waa a government formed conducive
to religious freedom and equality of
all men. He paid great tribute to the
American Republic and said that our
government is a representative gov
eminent with a constitution. He said
that the B'nai Birth stands for loyal
ty to our government and loyalty to
the American flag.
"Since 19OO," said Judge Peres, 1--WE
have begun to drift away from our
constitution, until now we are in
chaotic state. The I. o. B. B. and
our republic has everything to do with
each other. Do not be led astray by
the enemies Of the republic, whose
blatant voices undermine the very
foundation of patriotism" Judge Pc
res paid tribute to Milton B. Rose,

pamphlets and speakers among Rus

German money to further their own
propaganda, and thus broke down the
morale of the Russian soldiers They
were little better crooks than the
Germans who used them as tools"
said DR.. Huntington. Practically they
worked in favor of the German cause
although theoretically they were as
much opposed to the German system
as to any other except their own.
Then they were enemies of all
forms of governments not organized
along their own fantastic socialistic
notions?" questioned Senator Wolcott

Yes: that is generally true" said

Ba sis of Conclusion.

Scheidemann's declaration that the
kaiser was the German Jonah was not
cCuched in such undiplomatic terms.
viii quote his written stateme mt
verbatim later on. My conversation
with him. plus the evidence of his
which he gave me. led me to this
double -barreled conclusion:
First That the monarchy was over
turned as a sop to the allies. The
revolution was not based on purely
democratic ideas. The German
statesmen" said Schedemann, be
lieved that Germany would get better
terms If the monarchy was done away
with.
cause Of the univ ersal disgust felt by
the German people toward the kaiser
and the military clique. They had
been lied to and deceived from the be
ginning of the war. They would have
forgiven all if the war had been
successful speculation. But the war
was lost.
Last March, Scheidemann told me,
the German people believed the war
had been won. We thought France
and Italy had been defeated and that
England aid been hit very hard"
he gave me no intimation that there
was strongly revolutionary senti-
ment in Germany then. All evidence
agrees on this. So long as Germany
was winning the people Endorsed the
war. Then the Foch counter-offensive
began and the Germans awakened to
the fact of their losses and later on
that they had been deceived from the
beginning. In October they saw that
the war was lost The talk of forcing
the abdication of the kaiser gained
strength.

MRS. PORTER'S
BIRD CONFESSIONS
The Popular Novelist Explains
HoW She Became Interested
in Robins and Things

There is no more persistent and con e
scientious student of birds in America
than Mrs. Gene Strntton Porter. wide
lv known as un author of popular fic-
tion. and there is no more interesting
writer about birds than she.
Three years ago Mrs. Stratton Porter
was telling an acquaintance of some Of
the interesting incidents connected with
her pursuits of bird lore when it was
suggested that she write book about
the subject This she has done in
"Homing With the Birds" which
might be called an ornithologiSt's auto
biography. The book is filled with most
fascinating tales about birds.
As child the author was fond of
birds and learned how to approach
them without disturbing them on their
nests. She acquainted herself with
every species on her fathers farm.
One day her father delighted her heart
by telling her that he gave her for her
little girl thereupon assumed a propri
etorship which consisted mostly of a
feeling of motherly responsibility for
the safety of every feathered thin"
that flew. As she grew older she con
tinued her study and in the course Of
time began to write about the things
which she had learned. Her patient
observation is as remarkable as that
of Fabre, the distinguished French nat
uralist. She has corrected some of the
errors of those who have gone before
her and she has discovered much about
birds and bird ways which no one knew
before. Her volume. however. is not
dry book on ornithClogy. 1t is a
human and sympathetic story Of a
woman's interest in birds. filled with
amusing and pathetic anecdotes. For
example she tells of one bird which she
found blind drunk on the juice of
frozen pokeberries. He cluug head
downward on branch and kept eating
the berries as long as she watched
him. The story lacks only it's last
stage. a description of the bird recover
ing from his spree with his head leaned
against a cake of ice to cool his throb-
bing brow. She tells also of silly
robin that bdilt ncr nest in a leafless
tree where it was unprotected from the
weather. Mrs. Stratton Porter saw the
bird sit on the nest for nineteen con-
sccutive hours protecting her eggs from
driving rainstorm.
The book is literally illustrated. The
Inst picture is that of domestic hen
nineteen years old. reproduced from a
photograph taken three days before the
fowl died of old age.
