FEAST OF SUKOS
 TO BE OBSERVED
Eight.Day Festival Traced to Ancient Origin; Period
 of Thanksgiving

The Biblical Feast Of sukos (Booths) will be celebrated for eight days, october 2nd to 9th and In Orthodox synagogues for nine days,
 The festival is of ancient origin but in its modern form combines many Ideas. The most characteristic feature is the injunction that every fsraelite should dwell in booths for eight days,
 Behind the thoughts that have clustered around this holiday, cer- tain Ideas stand out, Adherence to simplicity is taught by the symbol of Booths. It is q reminder that our Biblical ancestors 80 dwelt when they journeyed out of Egypt. It harks back alsn to 0 practice of Pale estine and other oriental countries where the short harvest season had to be improved by speedy gather. ing in of the fruits of tho field.
 Today the festival is observed as Q thanksgiVing.day harvest feast, While many families erect booths for the period, 1t Is also customary to place them on the premises of the synagogue, where Q reception iS held after the services,

GERMANY WILL TRY IT AGAIN
Dy StgFI0 Senufsx OE,v6nird v ShA ssvyle& iMs.

As an American newspaper correspondent In Berlin from 1919 to 194l, Slgrid CchultE saw at first hand the events that led from World War I to World War IE. And she saw the behind. the- scenes preparation for the com. ing "war.ln. peace" that she warns may culmlnate In World War HI. This ls the story of Germany's plans to win the peace, plans that even now are being put Into effect.

 The Allies wanted peace in 1913 Tho German masses wanted peace ln 1918.
 But tho German General Staff merely wanted e breathing spell ir which to rearm.
 And It's successor, the German Gccret general staff, although moi altogether Q military organization was above all c militaristic ono.
 Three times within the first five years after the end of World War 1, tho German milltarlstis believed their chance had come to ove9- throw tho Republic and precipi' tate e glorious new war.

But tho parliamentary 0ys' lem was beginning to work ir Germany, better than many hae expected and tho leaders Of the young Republic had the courage to stand firm,

 Any miiitarist, any pan.dor' man, retreats when the resiStaneG against him is found to be toe btrong. General von Luettwitz ac' cordingiy called back his plotterf and decided to bidc his time.
