Flashes of Life

By the Associated Press
 New York.-Sinclair Lewis, who will receive a Nobel prize in Stock holm next month, is studying Swed- ish. "Once I learned enough Italian in two weeks to get across Italy on foot" he explained. 50 why shouldn't I learn enough Swedish to get along in Swedcn?'
 Buffalo, x. Y.-Gilbcrt K. Chcs- terton believes that Edith Wharton and Thornton Wilder were more de- serving of the Nobel prize than Sin clair Lewis. He said so when re- ceiving the degree Of Doctor of Literature from Canisius college. Also mentioning Ford and Edison, the English author said that one of tho most surprising idiosyncrasles or American life is that mon and women who have achieved cminencc in one field feel themselves fully qualified to give opinions about other unrelated ones.

England is biased because of her trade possibilities with the Arabs Mir. Rutenburg wanted to buy some electric machinery for power plants along the Jordan river, and could have bought the goods from Ger many at a fairly low price, but he was not allowed to do so. He had to buy from England. England says she is not interested in the struggle ct the Jews for q national home but demands that the Arabs be as sisted from being robbed by the Jews. It seems to me that England is really only thinking Of how to help the Arabs gain supremacy ana how 10 help the Jews find haven Of refuge.
 England Not Always Narrow
 England was not always the nar- roW-minded nation she is today. She was not always on the narrow edge of national disaster as she IS today. She was once a powerful. helping nation. Many Christians to- day in England and in America be- lieve the day will come when the Jews will have a place in Palestine where they can make a nation of culture and industry.
 Not many years ago, during the World war, there was not one Jew ish newspaper, daily, weekly or monthly. that was not pro-German Not to be pro-German. but to be anti-Russia The United States sent 5000 Jews, outside of the draft, into the war to assist General Allenby in the eastern front. and there were 10000 Jews with General Allenby. At that time England did not say. If the Arabs are agreeable. the Jews can come in They said, in spirit, let the Jews come in and establish a ration for themselNes.'
 Tt is impuderce for the Arabs 10 claim Palestine as their land. What vas Palestine in 1917? What had the Arabs done to improve the land? There were sWamps, poisonous waters. no roads at all, and dirt cvtryWherc. The Jews went in and cleaned this up, built roads filled the sWamps. made the water clean and made many blades of grass grow where one grew before. Why should the Arabs claim this land? They opposed the people who wanted 10 90 there and build it up."
 MT. Lipsky declared that the Jews, is n innumc"able times in the past, are furnishing an acid test to see whether right is might or might is right. He called the Jews the baronI- eter of progress and conditions in the world,
 Pledge cards were distributed in
 he audience for subscriptions and pledges to assist in the fight for Pal cstinc for the Jews.

LIPSKY CONDEMNS
 BRITISH PROGRAM
Demands Promised Rights for Jews in Palestine Homeland

England wants to help the poor Arabs at the expense of the Jews in Palestine, and to do this England has violated the moral code of in- tcrnational pacts," charged Louis Lipsky, for eleven years president Of the international Zionist organi- zation, in a speech before more than 400 members of the JeWry Of New Britain, in Camp school auditorium last night.
 MT. Lipsky spoke after Rabbi Jesse Schwartz of the Congregation Sons of Israel, had explained the events leading Up to the present erlsis in Palestine. He explained in detail the situation in that land now ana elaborated upon the causes mentioned by Rabbi Schwartz.
 Mir, Lipsky, probably the foremost Jewish leader in America. is man of striking appearance and vital per sonality, and his address made d ueep impression upon the audience lie told of attending many meetings Of protest against the British viola non Of the mandate. and in every instance the persons attending the meeting left the hall satisfied that they were all working on common ground for the righting of great moral and physicsl wrong inflicted upon the Jewish race by the Brit lsh empire.
 Indignation Meetings Useless
 There is no use in protesting and holding indignation meetings" he said. They held big indignation meetings in New York and in other American cities, and prayed for de- ilverance from tyrant, and it did no good at all. It made no impress sion on England's house of com- mons. where the trouble was done. The prayers had no effect upon Prime Minister Macdonald"
 Reference was made 10 Dr Shields, member Of the house of commons in England. who advocat ed raising twelve and one- half mil hons of dollars 10 reimburse the Arabs for the land taken by the Jews in Palestine.
 When the American people 1In dcratand the terrible thing that has been done 10 tho Jews they will take at ton and England will have to turn shout or suf CT the consequences Of her rash and immoral action," I,ip Sky said. American sportsmanshiD VIII come 10 play, and as America is 3 party 10 the Palestine mandate pact that England assumed. Ameri Ca Will have 10 see that England lives up to it's agreement"
 According to the speaker. Eng land real reason for standing up TOT the Arabs and turning down the Jews was because of the com merce that the Arabs might give to England's manufacturers

Draws TWO-Sided Picture Of
 Financial Conditions

Copyright, 1880. by United prcss)
 Washington, Nov. .0 NUP)-A two-sided picture Of the banking situation in the United States at present was drawn by E. l.. Smead, chief of the division of bank opera tens of the federal reserve board when he was asked to comment on the economic depression and the re- cent closing of banks in the south western and central states.
 The situation may be divided broadly into it's 'rbya and it's rural Hspccta. acccrling 10 Smcad. On the urban a,Ge are encouraging symptoms such as increased savings deposits and a decline in collateral loans. On the rural side he told Jf frozen assets and a drop in both demand and time accounts.
 Smead believes that the average American long since has lost confi- dence in stock exchange risks and ie knuckling down to a long period of saving. Investment money from the multitude has been largely checked and the play on the big and little boards of finance is confined almost exclusively to major operators.

The contest went along about as
usual, with the old real class telling
in the late innings, It's true the
visitors collected some lucky bingles,
but horseShoes or no h~orseshoeS, it
seems impossible for the home nine
to stand up under nine innings of
combat. In other words the Indians
Friday put up their usual stiff battle
during the first half of the struggle
and then wilted. The hit totals
were thirteen for Toledo and nine
for indianapolis.
Ferguson frightened up after the
fifth and baffled the Corridenites
the remainder of the way, with the
exception of in the ninth, when Red
Dorman batted for Jonnard and
Whacked out a home run to the

lop, with the bases u~noccupied, and
Dorman had plenty of time to spare
as he crossed the plate.
Both pitchers struck out nine
men, Jonnard and Jack Smith
breezing three times. Only two err
rors were chalked up, one against
each club, and the large Friday
night crowd was well entertained
with fine stops and running catches.

or perhaps l tt 8, before post time.
Ned o. and Gallant Knight, two
leading opponents of Gallant Fox
in the Kentucky Derby, were given
the best chances for second place,
or first. if the Fox falters. Gallant
Knight was 5 to l and Ned o. 8 to /.
Seeks Money Record
Sande will be urging the Fox on
ward in the classic toward another
goal beside breaking the time rec
ord. A victory today would bring
more than $40, 900 to the stables of
William woodward, New York
banker, and Gallant Fox is out to
set a record for money winning on
the American turf.
Gallant Fox already has drawn
down more than 100000 this year
by victories in the Kentucky Derby,
American Derby, PreakneSs, Bel
mont and Dryer stakes. If Sande
boots him home ahead in the classic,
Gallant Fox will be within $500
of the one season earning record of
100000, set by the great zev.
81 think we stand a great chance
of making the best time in history
if the track stays FAST" said Sande.
In his final workout Friday, the
Fox stepped five furlongs, in hand,
in 100 As, and we can do better
than that in the classic if pressed"
Course Baked Crisp
other overnight entries were High
Foot. Dark Entry, Cesare and Maya,
all given 121 pounds impost; Flam-
ing, 118 pounds; Snowflake, 118, and
Alcibiades and Dustemall, 116. Gal
liant Fox drew the highest weight,
1875: Gallant Knight, 1913, and Ned
o, 121.
The Arlington course was baked
to a crisp by a week of blazing sun
shine. and a fast track was assured,
except in the event of rain before
post time at 5 p. m. The race will
be broadcast over a nationwide
hookup of the National Broadcast
ing system.
owner Woodward has agreed, if
the Fox wins today, to keep him
here to compete in the 100000 added

New York Referees to Have
Sole Power i'm Foul Rulings
Gotham 'Mitt Heads Adopt Drastic Measure, to Become
Effective Immediately.

The two judges, who previously
had equal power with the referee
in calling low blows, will have no
jurisdiction in the future over
punches below the belt, but must
abide by the referees decision.
If it becomes necessary for the
referee to warn a boxer for a low
blow, that boxer will automatically
lose the round. If a boxer loses
three rounds because of warnings
for low punches, he will place him
self in danger of a long suspension
or disbarment for life in extreme
cases.
