modern nations have inherited
the war-like passion from the
rage of which we have just emer-
ged.
The Bible tells us (Gen. go:
1926, that when Jacob was
left. alone, there wrestled a man
with him until the breaking of
the day; and when he saw that
he could not prevail against him,
he struck against the hollow of
his thigh, and the hollow of ia
cob's thigh was put out of joint,
as he was wrestling with him."
This "man", according to the
Rabbinic Interpretation, was the
spirit of Esau," and this spirit
represents, in Rabbinic litera-
ture, war, bloodshed and viol-
ence. In certain dark periods, ia
cob, when attacked by this "spir-
it of Esau," is forced to wrestle
with him. His hands must be-
come occasionally like the hands
of Esau; but what a pity it is
that though he comes out victor
ious, his thigh is injured and he
is affected by this spirit of
Esauw
Similarly, America, like Jacob
of old, has just triumphed in the
great "war against war;" but the
danger is that America should
be infected with the same dis
ease which it has combatted. The
worst revenge that Americas
enemies could get would be to
have America affected by the
militaristic spirit dominating in
certain European countries.
It would be well if America,
like Israel, would make the
seeking of peace and pursuing
it" a cardinal virtue at this criti-
cal time. So significant is this
virtue in Jewish theology, that
among the numerous names CIV
en- to our Father in Heaven, is
"Sholom-Peace."
But Israels love of peace was
not tantamount to the doctrine
of absolute irresistance of evil.
The Jew found no discrepancy
between his ideal of peace and
his self-defense against wicked
enemies who attacked him or Of
Tended what was sacred to him.
A traitor to his people was he
who refused to fight in the just
cause. Judas Maccabeus, the
warrior, occupies a distinguish
ed position among the Jewish
immortals, and Rabbi Jochanan
ben Zaccai, the greatest scholar

PEACE-A CAUSE FOR
THANKSGIVING.

eve have abundant cause for
Thanksgiving. The LESSONS of
war are rapidly healing" From
President Wilson's Thanksgiv.
ing Day Proclamation.
To serve ones country is hon.
orable, and to expose ones life
in it's behalf is glorious. Surely,
the loyal sons of America, who,
under the guidance of duty and
disinterested zeal, have died for
America, will live forever in the
hearts of grateful posterity.
Remarkable was the valor and
brilliant were the qualities dis
played in the war, but now that
"the LESSONS of war are rapidly
healing" it must be emphasized
that not only the field of battle
should be regarded as the field of
glory and that not only the bat
tle-scene is the scene of the dis
play of manly virtues.
That the idea of glory should
be associated so closely with
military exploits and so loosely
with other manifestations of
heroism, is not strange. From
the earliest ages, ambitious SOW
ereigns and states have sought
to spread the militaristic spirit
by loading it with rewards. Or
naments, badges and special pri-
vileges have been the prizes of
war. The aristocracy of Europe,
which commenced in barbarious
ages, was founded on military
talent and success. The ances-
tors of the modern European
people made military courage
the first of the virtues. One of
the chief articles of their creed
was that a man dying on the bat
tlefeld was instantly transfer
red to the hall of their god, Odin,
where his reward was that he
could sip forever delicious bever-
ages from the skulls of his ene-
mics. To die of disease or senil-
ity was considered a calamity,
and death by violence, even if
self-inflicted, was thought to be
more honorable than a natural
death.
This spirit was developed la
ter into chivalry in the knight
hood period. To be fearless was
the first attribute of a knight.
Danger was courted, and amuse-
ments full of peril were pursued
with passionate eagerness. The
road to honor was paved with
rash adventures, the chief mer-
it of which was the scorn of suf-

the following generation.
But only in emergencies was
war a "mitzvoh," a duty that
had to be fulfilled, for which
even the Sabbath might be vio-
lated in case of defense.
Otherwise we find Judaism to
be very much opposed to war. In
the building of the Sanctuary,
irin, the symbol Of war, was ia.
booed. David, the sweet singer
of Israel-the typical Jewish
hero-is advised by the Almigh-
ty not to build a Temple for him,
because, pious though he was,
his hands had shed blood; his
son Solomon, whose name signi-
fled peace, was to enjoy the priv
ilege of building the Temple.
The Jewish child was taught
to venerate the heroes in the
field of learning and spirituality
even more than the heroes Of
the battlefield. 1t was impressed
upon the Jewish mind that the
constant heroism shown in the
daily life of a spiritual man or
woman is even more sublime
than the occasional and excep-
tional displays of valor in times
of war.
1t will be a favorable sign of
the times and a true cause for
Thanksgiving when the whole
world, taught by Israel's precept
and by Americas example will
realize the truth of the Prophet
Zechariah's dictum: mot by
might nor by power, but by My
spirit, saith the Lord" Then the
world will not be governed with
out the spirit of God" When
the new day will come, the "spir-
it of Esau" shall have to disap-
pear, and then "they shall beat
taeir swords into plough-shares,
and their spears into pruning
knives: nation shall not lift up
sword against nation when they
shall rot learn war any more"
History will not be written and
taught as it is at present, as a
mere record of wars and descrip-
ton of battles and conquests to
inspire the young with venera.
ton for the courage displayed
in war, but in such a manner will
history be written and taught
as 10 instil and foster a desire to
be honest, honorable, brave and
outrageous in the battles of life.
Then, when the "hands of Esau
will become weak, and the voice
Of Jacob strong" the world will
nave good cause for continuous

run of IS in the very first inning, which
is somewhat faster than the best games
showed in tournaments any place. Hen
ming was beaten by a score Of 200 to 153
leaving the final score in two blocks
stand, Henuing 90, Leese 400. The
feature Of the game was pulled By Hen

Manager Massing of Tigers
Starts by Challenging All
South Side Teams.

John Massing, manager Of the Indian
apolis Tigers, today issued an open ehal-
lenge to all teams on the south side for
one game or a series Of games 10 deter
mine the championship club Of that sec
ton of the city.
Massing believes he has the best indie
pendent team in Indianapolis this year,
and in order to back his boasts" he is
ready to take on all corners, but first
prefers to meet rival clubs in his teams
own section of the city.
RIVALRY OF OLD
DAYS RECALLED.
A similar system was practiced in the
city a number Of years ago and the
games always attracted thousands Oh
amateur fans.
Massing believes there is spark of the
old enthusiasm still burning in every
section of the city and he proposes TINS
plan 10 see if the old spark OF rivalry
can not be famed into a fame once more.
Massing is one of the Old-fimers or 10
cal amateur and semI-prO ranks later
playing years of league baseball as
catcher and first baSeman.
His project win, Of course, have no
effect on the standings Of the Indian
apOlis Amateur association and be does
not intend that any series proposed oy
him shall in any way interfere with the
playing Of the various amateur league
gsmes His idea Is merely 10 stir the
enthusiasm by adding more ball games
to the local calendar.
SOUTH SIDE
GAMES FIRST.
-Massing proposes that the series start
among the Independent teams on the
south side. where the rivalry between
teams is sharpcst at this time.
The Tigers, Merits Bordens. Turner's
ard Trojans are all strong clubs and
a series of games with these teams in
cluded would bring out some high class
and bitterly fought contests.
1t Is Musings idea TO try 70 annex
the undisputed title of the south side
FIRST and then he will challenge repre-
sentative teams in other sections of the
city.
If successful in winning the south side
honors. he said today that he probably
would Issue q challenge to the east side.
News of Musings project no doubt
will awaken the baseball spirit In vari-
Gus sections Of the city. and there IS
a strong possibility of the south side.
east side, north side and west side mo
bilizing their forces in IN effort TO de-
fend their localities against the au-
uounCed attack of the Tigers.

The weather wrecked an order OF prac-
tiee spins at the speedway etoday.
Speed experts entered in the 500-mile
race. who are on the scene al this early
stage, are eager to feel how the track
rides. and they were all in line for a
spin sometime today. However, the rain
took all driving notions out Of their
heads and they were to spend the day
giving their cars the once over and pre-
pairing for the time when the track dries.
THREE CARS
GET WORKOUTS.
Although there were only three cars on
deck yesterday. several drivers took the
turns for the first time of the 1920 sea-
son.
Toe Bower. one Of the latest arrivals,
begged a ride from Louie Chevrolet after
the latter had taken his Monroe AROUND
the oval 2 few times.
Although the track was damp and FAST
driving made dangerous after the early
afternoon rain Ralph DePaima donned ms ms
racing toys at a late hour and tore on
three laps in his Ballot for an average or

geot trio. each took spin In the one
Peugeot that has been checked up by the

WEATHER JINX
TRAILSINDIANS
Tribe, Idle Since Sunday, Fret
Over Inactivity.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May E.-There
was not much prospect of game between
Indians and Brewers this afternoon, due
to bad weather conditions, though both
Managers Hendricks and Egan hoped to
get in a contest If the field gave them
half chance.
The Tribe has not played since Sunday
and the business of loaing in Milwaukee
these days is not the choice Of any Of the
athletes
The Hoosiers have had so many post
ponements this spring that they hardly
have had an opportunity to spring any
sort of a winning streak. When they put
over a victory it seems as though the
weather man decides they need vacation
Immediately, which, of course, is bad
baseball on the part Of the weather pr
rate.
Hendricks is still negotiating for usw
hurler, his proposition with the Chica "a
Cubs having failed to produce anything.
He may make a deal with the Brewers
because, despite the fact that Egan's club
is not on top, the home club here has a
surplus of twirlers.
In fact, good pitching has kept the
Brewers around the 800 mark and Hen
bricks would not be adverse to talking
business with. Jack Egan.
Outfielder SINNERS, Tribe rookie, whose
home is in this city, was to be given
chance in the outfield today if the con-
test was played. SINNERS friends want
to see him perform and Manager Hen
bricks announced he would give the
young player a chance.

Smuggling Records
Big FetLOU Has -Four HOnters
to Credit on 1920 List
Big Day Tuesday.

NEW YORK, May 12.-Babe Ruth has
gone over the top in his campaign to
shatter all existing records for long dis
lance smuggling.
AS a self appointed delegate large
he has finally started his race to better
his own mark of twenty nine home runs
credit.
Ruth was slow in getting started, but
he has apparently found his batting eye,
and $1,000 New York fans who saw him
account for the defeat of the White Sox
yesterday will verify this statement.
In four trips to the plate Ruth hit out
two home runs and a triple and drew a
base on balls. He scored three runs him
self and drove two more across the plate,
and his sum total for the day just bal
anced the efforts Of the whole White Sox
against Carl Mays.
