ing that he did not believe the Ten
Commandments were craven by God
on tablets of stone and handed to
Moses on Mount Sinai. Rabbi Ste
phen Wise of the Free Synagogue, in
a sermon at Carnegie Hall yesterday.
challenged officials of the Jewish
Church to danish" him for heresy.
"If this be heresy. then Danish me
from the synagogue" Rabbi Wise de-
clared, and referred to the biblical
story as "a childish notion"
You know that this is not heresy,"
he continued. There are heresy
hunters in the Jewish churches, as
would Danish me if they could"
Defends DIR. Grant.
His sermon, "Recant or Resign:
Church and Synagogus Versus Free
DOM" was devoted mainly to n de-
fense of Rev. DIR. Percy Stickney
Grant, in his controversy with Bishop
William T. Manning over the deity of
Christ.
Bishop Manning was charged by
Rabbi Wise with evasion in his reply

would have meant death to the

ttan Church" for DR.. Grant to recant
Il am Jew of Jews" Rabbi Wise
asserted. but the freedom of religion
is in peril, and liberty is interdenom

The Grant case, he continued, was
the third heresy controversy of the
year. and he championed the former

At the same tipe. DR. Grant, rector
OF the Church of the Ascension, was de-
livering a sermon on Should Liberal
ism Be Generally Taught" in which
he declared he did not believe in the
virgin birth of Christ. He said he
had received many letters from those
finding fault with him for "undermin-
ing Christianity"
ITO them | wish to say" he de-
clared, Il do not believe Christ was
born of a virgin. What has that to do
with Christianity? What has the
peculiarity of birth to do with the
teachings of Christ in the sermon on
the mount? / can still hold my at
tention upon the great lessons OF that
sermon and preach upon the spiritu-
ality of those lessons. yet retain my
belief regarding the birth of Christ
DR.. Grant made no reference to the
recent challenge of Bishop Manning
for him to state his denial Of the
deity of Christ in clear, unambiguous
terms"

\ POLISH GENERAL.

General Joseph HalleF, commander Of the Polish army in France in the
 World War and one of the principal military leaders of the allies, will soon tour the United States as the guest Of the Polish army veterans association and the American Legion, it is announced by I,emuel Rslles, Legion National Adiutant Mr. Bolles says also that Legion posts in the cities visited by General Hailer will cooperate in reception to him, General Haller is 10 visit New York, Buffalo, Chicago, Milwaukee, si, Louis, Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh. Wilkes Barre. Philadel- phia. Boston. Utica, Schenectady and Amsterdam, N, Y, The question at once arises why should not this dis. tinguished soldier he invited to come 10 New Britain?
 There are many men in this city who fought under General Haller In France, Many Of his race who did not go 10 war are intensely interested in all that pertains to Poland and its people. All Of these would wol- come the chance to do honor to this strong man. The Kosciusko Post in this city would be especially eager to bring this celebrated military leader here. And there Is more reason than this for the suggestion. Partlcipa- ton by the American Legion here in q reception 10 this Polish General would be n gracious recognition cf the honor in which he is held by all associated in the war. It would be symbolical of the feeling of conrad ship that should exist among all ex- service men. To have the Eddy Glover post of the American Legion join with the Kosciusko Post in invit- ing to and properly receiving General Haller in New Britain would be worth while attempt not only to do honor to great man, but also to cement the bond between men who served in a common cause.

 It's coming to the closing of schools now and good time to start a drive tor the articles for a play ground in each section ofs the city. One hun. dred dollars should cover all expenses of such a place and there isn't a per- son in this city that wouldn't contrib ute at least quarter to n dollar per family for the pleasure of the chii- dren of this city.
 When l speak of swings l do not mean the expensive kind that have the seats. I mean the kind with ropes and boards The board can be sawed so the grain of the wood runs crosswise and thus do away with breakage.
 Such a place would keep the chil- dren out of the street, which is at the present time menace to all motorists and q great strain on the nerves Of the mothers. And it would give great deal of pleasure to the children of all sections of the city.

 ton. It is here referred to not be.
 cause of the special importance tc
 be attached to this matter-althougl it is one of extreme importance to those concerned-but rather because it is an example of trying to consult those most vitally concerned when an attempt Is made to regulate the way they shall do business.
 Great complaint has been made, sometimes justly. that the Federal government has interfered too much with business and industry. Govern mental regulations is blamed for many of the ills of business. In a small way the regulating of the park ing place of anyone needing park ing place to do his business is gov ernmental regulation" Members of the ordinance committee represent and, in a measure, are familiar with the sentiment of the general public. In their action, as representing the public, they should get the point of view of the expressmen as well, in order that fairness and wisdom should dictate their action. In a way the ordinance committee, as all other committees, is a board of arbitration which, like a judicial tribunal, should be posted on both sides of a question before making its finding. The in stance is cited merely to approve any action that will tend to bring fairness into the making of rules under which the people of the city must live.

"NfYSTERY."

Mystery is fascinating. Stories
 which suggest mystery and in which
 said mystery is maintained to the
 end, when the person the reader least
 s,ispects is the one found to be guilty
 of the crime, are in great demand.
 But mystery has no place in mu-
 nicipal government or in matters in
 which the people of city are in
 terested. There should be the bright
 est light thrown upon affairs which
 affect the people. Nothing should be
 done under the table. No surprises
 should be sprung on the people which
 might well result in action that would
 be taken in haste and repented through an uncomfortable leisure. 4
 When the swimming pool in the North End park was suggested this newspaper, despite its conviction that a swimming pool might be splendid thing if proper plans could be made and if d location for 1t found that would be approved by all, suggested that there might be opposition first to the amount of money to be spent and secondly 10 it's proposed loca- ton. Such opposition did develop gradually at first, but with increas- ing force. The Mayor, recognizing that opposition, stated he would call a public hearing to discuss matters. Fine, that was proper! Now comes the news that a substitute proposal, calling for a swimming pool in an- other section of the city will be offered when the Mayor calls that public hearing. Details of the now plan are being withheld. Why? The meeting will be for the purpose of getting an expression of opinion. No sound opinion may be formed on a proposition sprung at the last minute.

 Just now the Woman's Board Of the New Britain General hospital is conducting a drive to gain the inter- est of the women Of the city in the work of the hospital.

So 1t Is more 10 let the women of the city know of the way in which they may help that this drive is being con ducted. The women have made sur gical dressings, have looked after the linens and supplies, provided for so- cial diversion of the nurses whose work is at times so trying. The money which the board obtains from membership, and which is being raised now maintains the citizens free bed fund and the childrens free bed, buys the linens and materials for dressings. There is need, too, of a free bed in a semi-private room. These are some of the things in which the women are interested and which are inspiring women. today, to go from house to house, explaining, and asking women to join In this work to the extent of giving toward these things which appeal to every woman's heart. The work is to be commend ed, and the women who are now in- terested and those who will become more active in their connection with the hospital by practical evidence of their sympathy with this work, as they join, are living in the atmos- phere of Mothers Day which has just emphasized that spirit of love and | understanding which blesses the world.
