Wings Power Plays
Make Hawks Yield
Abel, Wares Get
Goal in Torrid
FL Victory
BY LEWIS H. WALTER

While the Detroit Hockey Club
is trying to fill the gap left by the
loss of forward Joe Carveth. the
Wings can't be classified as Grip
pies. Not when they roar through
the opposition as they did when
they conquered the Chicago Black
hawks 81, before 1873 persons
last night at Olympia.
After Jack Adams had seen the
Wings sweep to their third success
sive victory over the club they
couldn't whip once last season the
Wing boss disclosed that he's still
trying earnestly to land William
FLASH Hollett of Boston and
Buzz Boil of Americans. If neither
of the National Leaguers is avail
able Detroit will try to bring up
Joe Fisher from Indianapolis or
Eddie Bruneteau from Omaha
Knights.
HELP Is NEEDED
Detroit needs support with
series of hard road games ahead.
But there's no question of the
Wings ability to get along by
scrambling their forward lines
until reinforcements arrive. Not
when the Eddie Wares-Don Crosse
Sid Abel line is throwing, that
'Liniment Line" tag over the
boards and going out for goal after
goal to prove themselves Detroit's
sharpest scoring weapon.
1t was the Wares line which
clicked again to keep Detroit Sc
cure in second place, three points
ahead of the Bruins and only three
games now behind the losing
Maple Leafs. 1t was the Wares
line which led the unceasing offen-
Sive which wore down a superb
Chicago defense for goals in the
second and third period to bring
Detroit from behind.
EDDIE AGAIN CONNECTS
And for the second successive
game it was Eddie Wares, the
hustling right wing from Calgary,
who scored the winning third
period goal on power play.
Black haired Eddie has come out
of an early season slump to score
three of the Wings last four goals.
Just last Sunday his two goals
beat the leading Maple Leafs.
1t was almost ludicrous that the
Wings had to come from behind
when they dominated 80 per cent

HANUKKAH:
A Decisive Battle
of History

(The RecOnstructiOnist ViewpOint)
By DIR. HENRY M. ROSENTHAL
The victory of Judah Maccabeus
at Emmaus ought to be reckoned,
along with Thermopylae, Salamis,
Tours, Gettysburg, etc., as one of
the decisive battles of history. If
without Thermopylae there would
have been no Greek culture in the
grand sense, without Tours no Eu-
rope free from Asiatic and North
African domination without Get
tysburg no continuing union of the
North American states, there
would hardly have been, without
the Maccabean victory, any west
ern civilization at all.
That victory made possible the
survival of the Jewish people and
of Judaism that Christianity was
possible. And it was the latter off
shoot of the Hebraic tradition that
salvaged from the ruins of the
pagan order the materials with
which a European civilization was
gradually established.
1t is unlikely that any of this
would have happened without Mat
tathiah at Modin, Judah at EN-
maus and Beth-Zur, or the more
symbolic victory over desolation
impurity and disorder, on the Tenn
pie Hill, Kislev, 165.

Even after the exit visa is

tire categories of "belligerents,"
refusing to allow them even to ira

they are prisoners for lack of an
exit visa, or have been turned back
at the Spanish border. And many
of them had been soldiers in the
French or Allied armies. Some had
hurried to France from abroad to
volunteer.
What becomes of these people !?
They share the lot of so many
of the population and refugees in
unOccupied France. They are cold
and hungry. Their children, COW

plOrable sanitary conditions, sue
cumb to the hardShips of winter.
But they suffer more than their
neighbors for they are, besides,
denounced and prosecuted as par

not French citizens or who lose

Thus tens of thousands of
French, Belgian, Dutch and Polish
Jews have been caught in the un-
occupied zone. At first, their treat
ment by the local population and
the authorities was the same as
that of ether refugees unable to
return home. Then an insidious
propaganda campaign started.
In the long lines in front of food
stores and ration card offices, as
food got scarcer and scarcer, loud
voices began exclaiming:
cit isn't surprising that we are
perishing of hunger. All the Jews
in Europe have decided to meet

Caught between two fires, per-

is emigration. But this door, too
is almost closed, even for those
comparatively few who can obtain
a visa to some American country.
Most of the Jews in southern

have funds in banks in Paris or
Brussels cannot draw on them. No

If we let our sentiments entice
us into helping Finland or any
other country, they warn, we are
immensely increasing the chan
ces of being drawn into wars
which are none of our concern,
and which we should stay out.
On the other side of the fence
the advocates of governmental
financial aid to Finland regard
these arguments, to use Mr..
Roosevelt's phrase, as "unadul-
terated twaddle." The Presi-
dent made a strong case for
this position in his talk to the
Youth Congress, in which ne ar
gued that the chance of Russia
declaring war on us if we helped
Finland is too ridiculous to be
worth considering. And the
partisans of government help to
the Firms have something on
their side - more than a year
ago we loaned China $25, 0OO,-
600 to help her in her undeclared
war with Japan, and the Janan-
csc did not make much of an is
sue of it. Under the terms of
another pending bill, which has
been pretty much obscured in
the press because of the concen-
tration of interest on Europe,
we would give the Chinese a
sizeable loan, through the I'm
port-Export bank.
At any rate, irrespective of
what side of this controversy
finally proves right, there will be
some hot debate when the Fin
nish loan proposal comes to thh
floor of Congress. The odds now
favor it's passing.

Miss Anna Vivian Brown,

before the Better Service Club of

way on Monday evening of this

charge of the program inviting
Miss Brown to address them
chose for her the subject of
Character" The large audien-
&c which filled the hall almost to
capacity was thrilled with the
manner in which Miss Brown
handled her subject and pointed
out in so many various ways its
relationship to good and better
service in railroading and better
service to the public.
Miss Browns exceptional ex--
perience in travelling over 25, 900
miles around the world riding on
the railroads of so many diff
erent countries provided her
with a wealth of knowledge and
experience from which she drew
heavily and pictured most wildly
as she mastered her subject
while keeping her audience in

Chairman G. H. YosL was res
ponsible for securing Miss Brown
to serve on this program and she
was ably introduced and present
ed to her large audience by MIR.

manner. The applause which
greeted the speaker when she
had finished bespoke of the high.
esteem and appraisal that the
was received. The Off
Gals have requested a copy of
