Our Letter From New York
Week End, Year. End End JewsThe Peak of Year
End Actyities-Seven SynagOgs and Sl,2lO,OOO and
Spiritual Values
By WILLIAM 2. sPIEGELMAN

\ witty observer Of Jewish life in
America divided a certain category Of
American Jews into three classes
Weekend Jews. ycar.end Jews and life.
end Jews.
The weekend Jews are probably
duties at their leisure, attending n
syDagog on Saturday or temple on
Sunday-and they are satisfied. The
year-end Jews take their time. They
can wait year, Life-end Jews take
all the time they have and remind them
selves OF their Jewish duties on their
deathbed sometimes they even forget
this.
While this may he too pointed a
criticism. 1t does not lack grain of
truth. With the weekend Jews, as
the best. no one would draw swords
now in the season Of forgive and for.
get. With the llfe.end Jews it would
he premature. The year.cnd Jews are
now at the peak of their activities
Reports coming from all parts OF the
country chronicle an intensified year
end Judaism. In the city Of New York
alone not less than 500 temporary syn.
ngogs We're provided for the High Holi-
day season, in addition to all the per-
manent synagogs and temples Of the or
thodoN. reformed and conservative
types. These provisional synagogs give
the impression Of the Sukoth temper
airy tents. 1t seems as II the calendar
has moved forward and arranged the
Feast OF Tabernacles superseding Rosh
Hashonah. However. the records of
American Jewish life show that more
permanent quarters are being built.
The Jewish Daily Bulletin" in one
day. on the eve of New Year, recorded
The construction Of ten synagogs. tenn
pies and Jewish community centers.
In all, for the two weeks preceding
Rosh Hashonah the bulletin" recorded
the construction Of twenty synaEoEs,
temples and Jewish community centers.
seven OF which were erected at 4 cost
Of Sl210,OOO.
At time when all values are estl-
mated according to their worth in dol
lars. it must not be SO bad. after all,
with the year-end Jews.
Rabbi Louis NJ. Levitsky, OF Temple
Israel. Wilkes-Barre. Pa. takes excep-
tion to the material estimation of re-
ligious values. Il wonder why you
never fail to mention the cost of syn
ngog building as though the figures
were any indication of its usefulness?
am prompted to say this because l
notice that the dollar mark is attached
to the name of every new synagog. Is
1t not time that we began looking into
the spirit of the building instead of
the EXTERIOR"
Rabbi Levitsky is. no doubt, in the
right. The synagog buildings in them
selves don't serve as an end. but as n

means. However, the hgllreS should
mirror the amount OF material sacrl
fee which the community is willing
and capable Of making for spiritual
values. And let us not forget that II
this is the work of the ycar-end Jews
they have not done 50 badly.
Prompted by the action Of Secretary
of State Charles Kellogg in barring
the unpronouncable Saklatvala. tn,
Federation OF Hungarian Jews. headed
by DR.. Samuel Bucher asked for the
barring Of number OF Hungaria del
cgates to the Interparllamentary Con
ference which Is TO take place this
week In Washington. The Federation
of Hungarian Jews pointed out the
records OF these delegates with regard
to their anti-Semitic and batting
activities In their native country.
These gentlemen propose to come to
the United States to proclaim new
freedom In which they do not believe
and which is contrary to their political
activities in the past" the Federation
Of Hungarian Jews petltioned
Light must also be thrown on the
record Of two delegates from another
country. The Republic of Lithuania is
sending to the 1nterparliamentary
Conference Deputies Shmulkstis and
Ambrazeitis. Deputy Priest Shmulks-
It's. leader of the Clerical Christian
Party in Lithuanla. is the one who is
responsible for the present distresstul
situation of Lithuanian Jews. 1t was
he who sponsored and led to the enact
ment Of the Compulsory Sunday Rest
Law, which threatens the economic ex-
istence of Lithuanian Jews. 1t was he
who sponsored the enactment of the
education bill which prohibits instruc-
ton in non Lithuanian languages in
any public school in Lithuania. 1t was
he who led the violent anti-Semitic agi-
tation In the SeJm and In the country
and he has gone no far as to publicly
accuse the Jews OF Lithuania of trea-
son to their state. Contrary to the well
known fact that American Jews of
Lithuanian origin pleaded with the
United States government for the rec
ognition of the small Lithuanian Re-
public, Congressman Sabbath. of Chi.
cago. having been the one who intro
duced this resolution into Congress,
Priest Shmulkstis spread the libel that
Lithuanian Jews asked American rabbis
to plead with the United States gov
ernment against recognition of the
Lithuanian Republic 1t was Deputy
Shmulkstis who worked for the abo-
lition of the Ministry of Jewish Affairs
in Lithuania and the dispersion of the
Jewish National Council in that coun-
try.
Deputy Ambrazeitis, who is the
leader of the antl-Semitic Christian
workers party in Lithuanin, has no
better record.

London-A warning to American
Jews to be careful when sending money
to relatives in Poland was sounded by
n financial expert and well known
Jewish social worker who has just re-
turned from Poland.
1t is advisable that the senders in
sist that the remittances be paid out
only in United States currency, Ger
tain banks In Poland, In view Of the
instability OF the Polish Zloty, delay
delivery of the money expecting de-
probation in the Zloty. Hundreds OF
Jews in the city of Warsaw alone re-
ceived on the eve of the holidays less
than was sent by their relatives. Some
banks retained the money for several
days: many did not receive their
money until after the holidays and
some not ut all. 1t is advisable TO spe-
cify that the money is TO be payable
in American currency" or payable ac-
cording to the rate of exchange on the
day of delivery"

Bankrupt Polish Banks Withhold $780,
900 Sent By Americans To Relatives
nstrute to ontoP Protect Renltnccs from S
tJewi-h Telegrnphic Agency

Wnrsaw-S3JO0 600. money sent by
Americans to their relatives In Poland,
for the High Holidays, were not paid
10 them. according 10 n report pub
llshed today by the Yiddish daily paper,
Der IIajnt."
The money which was not paid out
was sent through seven Polish banks
which stopped payment last month, in
Guiding the Bank Ola Handful Przemy-
slu and Bank Ziednoczony.
The charges were made that before
payment was stopped the banks pur-
posely postponed payment of American
remittances. Even telegraphic orders
were detained for two to three weeks
for the purpose of meeting other obli-
cations. The banks now intend to set
tie these payments on the same basis
AS ordinary creditors.
According to reports of the "Hajnt''.
American banks have urged the Polish
banks to Immediately execute full pay
ment. threatening them with prosecu-
tion. II is understood that the Ameri-
can Consul In Warsaw was instructed
TO negotiate with the Polish govern
ment and the banks concerning the
matter.
Hundreds of Jewish families who
expected money from their American
relatives before the holidays were left
in critical condition owing to the
speculatlons which the banks carried
on with their money.

 TEN REEL PICTURE AT
 THE LIBERTY TONIGHT

If the word "super-production" had not been so sadly abused and misused, we would be sorely tempted to apply it to Rudolph Valentino's latest Para mount picture, Monsieur Beaucaire" which opens tonight at the Liberty Theatre For if ever a picture deServ- ed superlatives it surely is that play which Forrest Halsey adapted from Booth Tarkington's gloriously human story and which reaches the silver sheet via the directional guidance of Sidney Olcott.
 Imagine the love interest of ''The Sheik," the romantic coloring of Blood and Sand" and the spectacle of ''The Four Horsemen' combined in one photoplay and you begin to un- derstand why Monsieur Beaucaire'' is a photodrama of amazing beauty and power. To the students of history it will be an inspiration; to the school boy it will be an education, and to the blase film fan it will be a revelation All the pomp and magnifcence of the court of Louis XIV, notorious for it's love affairs, it's intrigue, honor and vice. The scheming Mme. Pompadour the dissolute king, the crafty Riche lieu-they live once more.

SUMMARY NEWS
 OF FAR NORTH

In letters received in Dawson re- gently from Ft McPherson and Hers chel several interesting incidents stand forth in the happenings which have taken place at those far north ern points during the past summer, says the Dawson News.
 Of most importance was the visit of the governor general of Canada, who journeyed to the Arctic during the summer, and who was the object of much discussion in those parts.
 The steamer Distributor carried sev- eral of the Hudson's Bay Companys men up to Fort McPherson and Her schel island, where they inspected the company's posts and outlying agen- cies.
 The death is reported of Mrs. Louis Cardinal upon the birth of child. Mrs. Cardinal was formerly Katherine Firth, daughter of John Firth, who for
  sons Bay Company's post at Fit. Me pherson, and who is now retired and living there The baby was taken over in charge by a sister of the deceased a Mrs. Parson, who is also living at Fort McPherson. William Firth, a son of John Firth and the present factor of the Hudsons Bay Companys post at Fort McPherson is doing nicely. A year ago he sustained a broken thigh, but specialist happened to be pass ing through the place at the time and the injured part was, therefore, given immediate and professional attention and is now as good as ever
 The Hudson Bay Company has erected new post at Point Separa tion no the east branch. Kenneth Stuart is in charge of this post.
 The new radio station at Aklavik is now open for business and is very convenient. Captain Mills, a former CdpLdlII Ol IuG Day D steamer on the Mackenzie river put up the buildings for the new station It is expected that another wireless station will be built so that the Arctic coast will not be without it's modern method of communication.
 A radio set was installed at the mission at Fort McPherson last sum- mer by the wireless operator who travelled with the governor-general' s party. The governor-general himself was very much interested in the far north, and especially with the work of the church in those far northern points. The radio set which was in stalled was present of Bishop Lu- cas to the Fort McPherson mission. Last summer Rev. Edward Sta.

FEMALE CARIBOU ARE DESTROYED
 BY WOLF PACKS

Under the head of communications the Dawson News of recent date pub lished the following letter received from George Pitts:
 Editor News: Referring to Chief Isaac's story of wolves destroying game-which is very true-something ought to be done to save the remain der, which is diminishing fast, such as caribou, sheep, moose and other game.
 In my estimation the female caribou is being destroyed. I think something must be done to save the remainder of the herds and their offspring be- cause they are essential to the natives as we'll as the white people of this country.
 The male caribou outnumber the female in vast numbers. Consequent 1 ly the females are becoming barren. We must bear in mind that this meat is more valuable than gold or silver because we cannot eat metals. AS is we'll known the working people of this country would have to leave if the game became extinct.
 My suggestion is to get flying ma chine with which to locate them and use hand bombs; destroy them by gov ernment aid; also give larger boun- ty to the trapper for every pelt; ap- point game wardens. Furthermore, in the past these valu- able animals have been destroyed to provide food for lot of worthless dogs and foxes and I am informed the same condition exists at the pre- sent time.
