the crowd went wild when the ref cree penalized a player for interfer- ing when the goal tender attempted to hit him with his stick. The penal ized player was Boston lad, and what that gang didn't call the referee wasn't worth calling. In ad dition, they covered the ice with programs.
 Bye and Bye." with lots of in- reference. was handed out at VEAL. Baltimore, by the Jubilee Singers. The station came, through loud. but not loud enough to beat out the noise. -
 WLW. Cincinnati, came through loud from o'clock on. but that's all the good it did. A baritone soloist offered The Song That Reached My Heart" and we hope it had better luck in reaching his heart than it did in reaching our ears, because the buzz was terrific. From $50 meters up through 450 meters was the cen ter of activities, and let us tell you that there was SOME activity.
 WHAS, Louisville. came through pretty well. with the Masqueraders orchestra offering up some tasty bits in dance music. For My Sweet heart' was one of the numbers. The huzz didn't seem 10 be so loud even taking into consideration the fact that WHAS is located in the danger zone.
 KDKA and WPG did considerable to shorten our stay at WMSG, New York, where a hockey game was in progress. AS a result, in addition to the announcements from the rink, we heard piano and vocal music from the other two stations. The hockey crowd. however. was enthu- siastic and the announcer appeared to be capable.
 WSM, Nashville, surprised us by dashing across the plate for the third run of the game. A program of negro spirituals was being presented, one of which we heard. This was Steal Away" There was static, code and slight buzzing.
 That's all for today, thanks!

Through fife Static

Last evening was rough. Sand paper has the same characteristics: rough. If you were content to sit through the continual buzz. and didn't mind aforementioned buzz, you were all set for the evening. But if you minded said buzz, you were out Of luck. Just for the fun of it., we called up several friends in var ous parts of the town and they made the same crack that they were getting the same disturbance. So we'll let you figure it out for your selves.
 There was silvery static, but that alone would have been no bar to ex- cellent reception and we somehow feel that if it had not been for the | disturbance the evening would have been pretty fair, but you can't tell some people that. The S. s. Bear Mountain" orchestra at WNYC, New York, has never caused any undue excitement to f1utter in our breast, and it didn't last evening, either. This band is quite ordinary organ ization, rendering dance numbers acceptably. Little White House" and She's Still My Baby"
 Over at WJR, Detroit. Goldkette's orchestra let loose with a couple of hot ones. 'Nigger Baby" and Me Too" Later soprano sang Kiss Me Again." We resisted her charms, however.
 WTIC, Hartford, was delivering a program from WEAF, New York. This bit, real gem, was of an his torical nature and was one of WHATS series, Great Moments From History" It dealt with John Brown of Harper's Ferry and this state and was offered in play form. Several high spots of Johns career were presented, his raid on the ar senal at Harper's Ferry, his arrest. his trial and finally. his death. It was very real and we derived a great deal of pleasure from the perform ance The parts were well taken and we thought the moments preceding his execution were highly impress sive. The drums in the distance, gradually growing nearer as Brown was led to the scaffold. His last words. Silence. And then, the drums again, denoting that he was dead and that the soldiers were returning to their barracks. We shall certain ly look forward to the next of the series, which will be broadcast on December 2S by WTIC. Whether or not WEAF will broadcast any in the meantime, we don't know.
 Then, by way of variety, we went over to WIZ, where the Sparkers presented an excellent program of instrumental and vocal selections. Little Mother of Mine" was sympa- thetically played by the orchestra, with vocal solo, being followed by Clap Hands," We left soon after that.
 There was some excitement at the hockey game last night, WBZ broad casting the fracas between the Bruins and Ottawa, with Frank Ryan at the mike. The first period went along fast and clean, with not a penalty called. The crowd was hap py and everything was proceeding smoothly, with Frank yelling his head off and getting all excited every five minutes and telling us what a good game it was. In the last period

Maasseh Of Holland

The Puritans were eager to see and
know more about this strange people
who already in that ancient day had
had experiences so similar to their
own. Their interest was fed by pub
lished letters, addresses and pamph-
let's of Manasseh Ben Israel in Holland
who, sensing the situation across the
Channel, pleaded for the readmission
of the Jews into England. The lit
erary and exegetical study of the Old
Testament grew even more intensive;
the study of Hebrew expanded; and
extraordinary number of Christian
Hebraists flourished. Messianic ex-
pectations were reborn and re-empha-
sized. Groups of visionaries, under a
variety of names, like Covenanters,
Fifth Monarchy Men, Jewellers, Mil
lennarians or Ultra-Republicans, were
busy making propaganda for their
millenial creeds with precisely the
arguments-and even greater clamor
as are being used by the Pastor

Russelltes and International Bible
Students Association Of our own cur
rent period. Fanciful explanations Of
the Lost Ten Tribes, and the ingath-
ering of the scattered remnants of sur
viving Israel from all corners Of the
earth as a necessary preliminary to
the advent Of the Messiah, were Of
course an integral part Of all such
programs.
Sanhedrin for England
So tense and general was the jew
ish interest of this period Of English
history-by no means devoid of
Christological motives, however-that
the proposal was seriously made by
some Of Cromwell's officers that the
Council of State be composed Of sew
enty members to accord with the num-
ber of the ancient Jewish Sanhe1rin.
In the Short, or Barebones, Parlia-
ment, was a member, General Thomas
Harrison, an Anabaptist, whose party
advocated the introduction of the Mo-
! sale law as the law of the land.
Cromwell himself, at all times ex-
ceedingly friendly to the Jews, had in
mind reconciliation of the Old and
New Testament, and the establish
ment of an intimate connection be-
tween the Jewish people of God" and
the English Puritan theocracy.
All this, as has been said, happened
in England a generation after the
first settlement of the Puritan colo
nists in New England. But it is worth
recalling, not only because the same
influences of which the events under
Cromwell were only the dramatic
finale, had been operating long before
in England, but also because it visual
izes the intensely Hebraic religious
and political background from which
the Puritans and Pilgrims of thirty
three years before had emerged, and
which, under other circumstances
they had already transplanted upon
the soil of the new world. Indeed
it was the newer Puritan immigrants
of the Cromwellian period that gave
the earlier colonists of 1920 an added
impetus and strength in the latter's
efforts to establish a theocratic form
of government and Old Testament
mode of life in New England. This
was the purpose of both the Pilgrims
at Plymouth and the Puritans of Mas
sachusetts Bay. While the former
had come primarily to secure freedom
of worship in their own way, the lat
ter had come, ostensibly as CONNER
cial company, but in reality to found
n theocratic commonwealth, in the
words of Fiske, "like that Of the chill
dren of Israel in the good old days
before their forward hearts con-
ceived the desire for king"

PART l

The Sesqui-Centennial of American
Independence this year provides fit
ting though somewhat belated oppor-
tunity for studying the relationship,
if any, between that important event
in world history and Judaism. Did
Judaism, as an historical religion, as
4 theological and ethical system pro-
Tossing to be worldwide in its scope
and application, exert any influence
upon the founding and the founders
of the American Republic; and if so,
to what extent?
If there was indeed any such influ
ence, the facts were obviously signifi-
cant in the philosophy of general as
well as in that of Jewish history, and
should long sine have afforded our
American Jewish scholarship par
ticularly inviting field for early in
vestigation. With full conscious
ness of his own only too patient linn
itations, the writer cannot pretend
that this paper will prove to have met
the invitation even specifically. 1t
can only claim lat best, to point out
the need of more intensive and ex
tensive study than, unfortunately, has
thus far been given it, of highly i'm
portant and fascinating phase of jew
ish and secular history. Up to this
time, the available material and
sources have been only sparsely util-
lied. Graetz, world historian of mod
ern Jewry and expositor of the vari-
Gus currents of Judaism as they have
flowed into the diverse lives and phil
osophies of modern civilized peoples,
has only few rather dubious words
b say about the progress of the Jew
in America, and none at all about the
role of Judaism in the dramatic un-
folding of the new republic
The Writings on the Subject
The American Jewish Historical
Society, organized in 1892, has pub
lished some thirty volumes of admir-
nble and invaluable source materials
generally, but dealing in large if not
In major part with wide variety Of
fragmentary items of more or less
personal nature concerning individ-
uals and incidents of early Jewish res
.idence in America. Peter Wiernik' S
tHistory of the Jews in America"
published in 1912, presents credit
able though popular and journalistic
compendium of many of these items
up to the time of its own publication.
Within the last year, 1925, DR.. Louis
/. Newman, has published volumin-
Gus work, Jewish Influence on Chris
tian Reform Movements" whose con-
cluding chapter, "Hebraic Aspects of
American Puritanism," presents an
appropriate and interesting, though
only momentary peep into the region
of Judaism's actual on potential rela-
tionship to the beginnings of Ameri-
can democracy. The most pertinent
and extensive, though far from ex-
naustlNe, WORK oi tiiis supJeeI 10 'ii''
of the late Oscar S. Straus on "The
Origin of Republican Form of Govern
ment in the United States of Amer
ica," first published in 1895, followed
by two later editions, the last in 1901 +;
and all unfortunately now out of
print.
The case of Judaism's influence,
through its Bible at least on the
founding of the American Republic,
and as made out by Mr.. Straus, is
successfully established, according to
the late NJ. Emile de Laveleye, emf
nent Belgian publicist and professor
at the University Of Liege. General
