But the beginning of this famous
place Of worship was humble indeed.
In 1874, the congregation, Anshe

Adas Jsehurum to form Bethel. The
name means House Of God" and comes
from the ancient town of that name,
now known as Beitin, where Abraham
pitched his tent and altar, and where
Jacob beheld his vision. 1t was allotted
to the tribe of Benjamin as its frontier
town and in the time Of Jeroboam be-
came the city of Jehovah.
So poor were the organizations before
Bethel was formed that they held
services in a small room on Wintry Fri
day evenings, each bringing wood to
maintain a fire. When in l646 Max
Lilienthal was elected chief rabbi, his
salary was only $1,000. His was de-
ship" in America This was to dis
tinguish the preacher from hazzan.
There were three German congrega-
tons during the Lilienthal regime, and
they combined to choose him. Con-
sequently. he preached to them In sue
cession. Members CT two congregations
would follow him in his round, and
thus three services were attended by
the group.
From such humble beginnings came
this impressive structure which today
looks down upon Central Park. The
temple is typically Of the synagogue
type. There is dome of Moorish
trend, rising in its majestic height above
a square tower: and the tower. in turn,
is supported by outflanking turrets at

MEXICO CITY. February ia
vigorous campaign against "Gringo Gus
toms" in the National University,
backed UP by a terror committee OF
upper classmen, today counted among
its casualties a freshman in nearby
hospital with a bullet wound IN his leg.
AS consequence of the fracas, which
occurred in the School of Plastic Arts,
university. authorities today considered
prohibiting all carrying Of pistols by
students save by special permit.
The shooting occurred when the
freshman, Manuel Jimenez Ceballos,
who wore sideburns, rebelled at having
his head shaved by senior students. He
broke away and ran, Yhereupon the
student, who had been appointed barber,
drew his gun and shot him in the leg.
The activities Of the terror commit
tee were most in evidence about the
law school, where wearing of spatS, 60
ing hatless, sideburns, carrying of canes,
and other "Gringo customs" by fresh
men were under a strict student ban.
The ban was extended yesterday to
include use of chewing gum and several
freshmen who def1ed the order had their
mouths secured with -four. Other vio-
lators were ducked in water vat.

United S ates Senators are being applied
today to League of Nations delegates.
The picturesque leader of the party.
now in Geneva campaigning for inter-
national women's rights has arranged
for dcluges Of cables and letters to
descend upon the delegates. She has
informed her colleagues here of a new
amb't:on-to write into the covenant of
the League an equal rights treaty clause.
Writing Seven Volume Work.
Though her own country is not q
member Of the League, Miss Paul Is
credited with promoting the only three
resolutions to further nationality rights
of women ever adopted at Geneva.
With years of strenuous banner
bearing behind her. Miss Paul went TO
Geneva on purely scholastic mission
to put finishing touches on seven huge
volumes completely but clearly defining
the nationality rights of women in "a
countries of the world.
She wanted any woman, anywhere.
able to find out where she stood by
turning to the seven volumes.
wants DISCRIMINATION EHueus
Now Miss Paul is trying to wipe out
the results of her own stupendous labor
in a single treaty sentence saying there
shall be no determinations between
women and men.
Jailed with Lydia Pankhurst in Eng
land, and one of the most tenacious of
the hunger strikers in Hollway Jail,
Alice Paul was the subject of an inter-
national exchange of notes in the Taft
administration. She returned home to
inject militant methods into the suffrage
campaign.
Her inspirations for making that cam
paign spectacular were quite a problem
to police up to the very day of ratifica-
ton of the nineteenth amendment. She
then drafted the equal rights amend
ment, for which her followers are stu
campaigning, and set herself to the life
work of writing the legal history OF
women in the United States, and COM
piling laws of all nations on womens
nationality rights.

The matter was presented to me along
with a prepared telegram to be sent to
Lord Reading stating that we and the
French concurred.
1 inquired how 1t came that the
French had agreed - this without con-
sulting us, and it was found that the
plan had not yet been taken up with
them. then told the British repre-
sentative that when the air services of
the allied armies reached an agreement
regarding this proposal would consider
it. This was the last we heard of it.
Such incidents as these showed the
tendency to gain advantage and caused
us to doubt the sincerity of proposals
for cooperation in such matters.
In discussing unity in general, the
failure of the Italians to place their
armies under the supreme command on
the western front was frequently men,
toned. and 1t was feared in high places
that there might arise another danger
Gus situation similar to Caporetto, but
all hesitated to take any action. From
the military standpoint the western
front really extended to the Adriatic
Sea, and support for the Italians in case
of disaster would have to come, as be-
fore, from the armies in France.
Italy Follows Allies.
The question was a delicate one, but
it occurred to me to suggest to the
President. through the Secretary of
War, that he might intimate to the
Italian government the propriety of
completing the unity of command by
placing its armies under the same con-
troll as the others 1t was believed that
the Italian cabinet might be willing to
take the step If it could be done in such
a way as to prevent hostile criticism
among their own people.
1t was thought that If the suggestion
should come from the British or the
French. especially the latter, 1t would
very likely be regarded with suspicion,
whereas none could ascribe any but the
highest motives to President Wilson in
making such a move. However, the
question came up for discussion at the
next meeting of the Supreme War
Council, which was held at Abbeville,
and the authority of Gen. Foch was ex-
tended to include the italian armies
This completed the unity of command
from the North Sea to the Adriatic.

British United States arrangement for
training Of some Of our divisions.
