preparation of these. The report re-
fers to charges that the motive be-
hind the proposal for return of the
soldier dead was 1.-The propaganda If

and the further charges that actu-

abroad was "the hope of the French
to make their presence a source OF
constant and substantial revenue"

ANOTHER IDIOT

Budapest (By |. J. P. B. )At last the
explanation Of all the misfortunes
which have befallen the land of the
Magyars has been discovered. It is
not the defeat in war, nor the Bolshe-
wiki, nor the Roumanians-but the
sign Kosher in Hebrew letters.
This discovery has been made by
the commandant Of the town Of Mis-
kolcz, who has issued a statement on
the matter in no uncertain terms. He
points out that these mystic letters
constitute hostile instigation against
the State, and in the interest Of the
country and for the sake Of the coun-
try's honor, all these mystic signs Of
three letters must be abolished.

EXECUTIVE SESSION OF THE MA.
TIONAL FEDERATION OF
TEMPLE SISTERHOODS.

Furthering the work of the Syna-
gogue to increase Jewishness and
awaken the Jewish consciousness was
again stressed by Mrs. Joseph Wies-
enfield, president of the National Fed
Grafton Of Temple Sisterhoods, in her
report read before the Executive
Board at its annual session, held in
Cincinnati February II and IL. Ow-
ing to illness in her family Mrs. Wies-
enfield was unable to attend the ses-
sion, but various suggestions made in
her report were acted upon.
Among several recommendation
was an urgent appeal to the Sister
hoods to form small study groups Of
members meeting together Informally
to study and discuss questions of re-
ligion which are Of vital Importance
in creating a better Jewish woman
hood and a firmer faith. "Out Of the
chaos resulting from the World War
has arisen the cry for spiritual
things" the report stated, and "since
the beginning of time the religion Of
Israel has taught social justice and
equality, which is a preachment that
directly meets the issues Of the day"
A Recommendation to form city or
district declarations was thoroughly
discussed. While the formation Of
state declarations might increase the
influence Of the Sisterhoods in these
districts, there was danger that It
might lessen interest in the National
Federation, II was intimated. A COM
mittee, however, was appointed to re-

port on the ACCESSIBILITY Of creating
subordinate declarations.
The Sisterhoods were earnestly rec
commended to do all in their power to
increase the efficiency of the religious
Schools already established and to put
forth every effort to open more schools
in order to bring thousands Of chill
dren who have never received the
benefits Of religious instruction under
the guiding influence of the synagogue.
The report also urged sympathetic
concern for Jews in prisons and re-
formatories, saying, "We should see
that the prisoner is given a chance
upon his release and that In case Of
illness or death there are people Of
his own faith at hand"
In addition to these recommends
lions, committee was appointed to
consider plans whereby the National
Federation may cooperate with the
Union Of American Hebrew Congre-
cations in conducting university ex-
tension work.
The desirability Of amending the
constitution to provide for smaller
board and to admit the participation
of the Sisterhood with the Union in
the creation Of a National Advisory
Board in every city where the Sister.
hood is presented, was referred to
committee which will report at the
next session of the Executive Board.
The scholarship which the Sister
hoods have been establishing at the
Hebrew Union COLLEGE, have been
raised from $500 to $3.50. The cues
