, Brown in Aeroplane Crash, En Route to London
Ddvid A Brown of Detroit, was in an aeroplane crash eu route from Paris ^o London, escaping death in a machine the control over' which became unman- ' ageable, bumping over the ploughed fields of France after landing, Mr. Brown describes his experience in the following paragraphs contained in a let¬ ter to the American Jewish Relief Com¬ mittee :
"You came within an ace of having to announce the fact that David A. Brown, chairman of the National Ap¬ peal, had lost his life in an attempt to - fly from Paris tri' London for the pur¬ pose of beginning his work with the English committee in their efforts to raise money for the suffering people of Russia. We left Paris at 12 o'clock on Sund.-iy, Oct, 28, It had been raining all morning and up till last minute, I did not expect that the Handley Page peo¬ ple would permit their aeroplane to make the trip. They assured us that they had report of the weather condi¬ tions, and while it was then raining and the sky completely overcast with clouds, they stated that by flying low until they reached the-channel that they would find better weather condition and a)l would be well,
"The aeroplane never rose more than 1,100 feet and was going at about 80 miles per hour. After being out about (Contintted on page 6.)
Last Friday evening, November 21, marked the inauguration in Temple B'nai Israel, of "Sisterhood" Night," The Sisterhood had charge of the serv¬ ices, one of its members filling the pul¬ pit, another giving a musical number, and others acting as ushers and assist¬ ing in the congregational "kiddush," which took .place iu the v'estry rooms of the Temple after the services.
For the past number, of years' there was a' great deal of discussion, pro and
given the privilege of being or¬ dained as rabbis. However, this ques¬ tion was brought up before the last Con¬ ference of American Rabbis, at which time a decision was made in the affirm¬ ative. Tiie Jewish people of Columbus, who have not heretofore been given the opportunity of seeing a woman fill the pulpit, were anxious to see just how she would go about it and what the effect would be. After witnessing Mrs, Na- tjian Gumble in the above capacity and hearing the beautiful message- she de¬ livered in such eloquent manner, the large audience which filled Bryden Roid Temple, Friday evening, coiild easily ap¬ preciate the decision of the rabbis, and agree with them that women can do justice to the pulpit and become profi¬ cient in spiritual leadership.
"The True Religious Spirit"
Mrs. Gumbld spoke on the object of the Sisterhood and its accomplishments. "The real work of the Sisterhood," Mrs. Gumblc said, "is to create in the home and in the Temple the proper religious spirit." She went on to explain, "It is not the boy or girl at camp or at school who excels in the athletics or studies who is looked up "to, but it is the boy or girl who has the real camii or school .spirit. ' And so it is in our Temple, It is not the man or woman who attends .services regularly, although that means much, or the man or woman who un¬ derstands the sermons, who is the rc^il Jew or Jewess; it is rather the man or woman- who . has religiotfs ¦ spirit and whose understanding comes through the light of this spirit, who is truly the real Jew or Jewess." She urged, therefore, (Continued on page 6.)

STRIKE AGAINST JEWISH VARSITY HEAD
600 Jewish Students of Prague School Attend Classes; Socialists to
Fight Prejudice .
PRAGUE,--(J. T. A.)—Widespread fighting broke out on the campus of the German University here between Aryan and non-Aryan students following the strike of the former'against the reten¬ tion of Professor Steinherz, a Jew, as the University head. The clashes be¬ tween the students were not confined to any area, but broke out wherever strikers encountered any of the 600 non- striking Jews and students of other de¬ nominations siding with the Jewish pro¬ test.
A resolution calling upon liberal mind¬ ed -students to fight reaction by the *'best methods" was adopted by the Socialist Club. The resolution declares that Vsiflce Univ^r^jty. work i? liable to
interruption by the will of a < small group, and since the University Senate appears in the present crisis to be non¬ existent," the orderly section of the stu¬ dent body is free to choose; the best means of putting down racial prejudice. Determination to suppress religious prejudice is voiced also in a statement by the Minister of Education Bcchyne, declaring such prejudice contrary to the spirit of the Republic, In the interests of the State, the rights of all citizens will he safeguarded, the Minister an nounces while condemning terror as an "indefensible weapon." The teachers arc wat'ned that the Government will take appropriate metisures to punish the per¬ sons responsible for the lawlessness if they tail to restore order.

The Jewish Attitude On Intermarriage
By DR. STEPHEN S. WISE
-*
Intermarriage is desirable, it is sometimes urged, because it will tend to lessen prejudice against the Jew. IjUt that is only another way of say¬ ing that the one way in which to elim¬ inate prejudice against tho Jew is to eliminate the Jew. To hold that in- termarriaj;e is to be desired insofar as it promotes good-will and interracial solidarity is to cnunsel peace througli surrender.
It is worthy of .serious consideration that very frequently as a result of inter¬ marriage, the Jew is lost to the religion of Israel a"iid the Christian is lost to Christianity, so that it may be said, that usually Isfi-iel and Christendom arc equally the losers through intermarriage. From the viewpoint of Christianity, intermarriage spells, as I believe it does the passing of the Jew, It .is of utmost consequence to the world that Israel persist, and it were a loss to the world, as I see it, if "through intermarriage, or through any other cavise,'Israel should cease to be.
If. intermarriage between Jew and Christian at this time were wide-spread and general, the end would be the ex¬ tinction of the Jewish people. Here absorption were disappearance and as¬ similation were extinction. Only he may believe in the desirability of inter¬ marriage who holds that the passing of the Jew is a consummation devout- edly to be wished. The intermarriage of Jew and Christian is not so much a solution of the Jewish people. We are a minority people everywhere, and intermarriage would be the precursor of Israel's absorption by and disappear¬ ance among the majority.
The answer to the question of in¬ termarriage  depends  upon  the  answer
to the still more elementary question — Is Israel w-orth saving? Ought Is¬ rael to survive? Our militant and un¬ compromising, "Yes," in answer to these questions may be inexplicable to those' who think of Judaism as of a semi- obsolete r.icijil tradition-, or as of a bur¬ densome personal heritage. To the loyal sen of Israel his faith is Soul of his soul, life of his life. If the Jew is to live and not to die, if he is to survive and not to perish, if he is to persist and not to disappear, then intermarriage must be resolutely resisted.
The opposition of the Jew to inter¬ marriage is, it cannot be made too clear, not based on any pride of blood ot sense of superiority, but merely the instinct of self-preservation. Coupled with this instinct of self-preservation are deep reverence and unfeigned good-will to¬ ward Christendom, It is the "call of the blood" that deters Israel from the dis¬ loyalty of intermarriage and the sur¬ render of .such absorption in.sofar as the Jew feels that universal intermar¬ riage "would speedily presage the dodim of Israel as an historical factor.
In one sense, it may almost be said that Israel's attitude toward intermar¬ riage rests upon the pride of principle, the pride of reluctance to surrender to a civilization, fiendishly hostile at worst, and all but intolerable at best. In the question of intermarriage there is not bound up the question of race supe¬ riority, but there is involved the question of race continuity. For intermarriage means the passing of Israel, and the passing of Israel means not only the blotting out of a world-force for right¬ eousness in the past, tut the destruction of what we believe to be unspent poten¬ cies for good throughout future genera¬ tions.

NF-.W YORK, Nov. 2.5.—The seal of disapproval was stamped upon the Ku Klux Klan and its activities last night hy Justice Arthur S, Tompkins of Ny- ack, N, Y., Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Masons of the State of New York, following the assertion of the Rev. Oscar Haywood, general evangel¬ ist of Calvary Baptist Church and a national lecturer of the Klan, that 75 per cent of the Klan members through¬ out the country were Masons.
Dr, Haywood's statement was made in an interview with newspaper reporters in a hotel room after he had left the Hotel Hermitage, where he had estab¬ lished "temporary headquarters" for a Klan organization drive,' He declared that 75 per cent of those attending the first meeting he addressed in New York City were. Masons, and then made his general statement concerning the alleged preponderance of Masons in the Klan membcrshipj
Justice Tompkins characterised Dr. Haywood's assertion as absolutely false. "Masons are utterly opposed to the Ku Klu.M Klan as un-American and un-Ma- sonic," Justice Tompkins said. ' "We know of only a few Masons who are members of the Klan, and we do not consider them good Masons, The Grand Lodge of the State of New York, its officers and the great body of Ma¬ sons throughout New York State are absolutely opposed to the Klan and its activities,"
The Rev. Dr. John Roach Straton, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, an¬ nounced in Paterson, N. J,, where he is conducting a series of revival meetings for the First Bapti-st Church of' that city, that he intended to call a meeting of his congregation on his return to New York City next week and ask them to dismiss Dr. Haywood as general ' '.\i';, '-. -'      '¦-¦ - , -.-ftf)-'
Defines Haywood's Position
Dr. Straton explained that Dr. Hay¬ wood's connection with Calvary Baptist Church. was merely one of courtesj'', carrying no s,ilary, and resulted from the fact that Dr. Haywood had been pastor of the Collegiate B,-iptist Church at the time of its consolidation with Calvary, wheq he received what amounted to the courtesy title of evan¬ gelist q.t his own request. Dr,^ Straton repeated his denial that he was a mem¬ ber of the Klan, or in sympathy with it He said he had heard that Dr. Hay¬ wood was inclined that way about eight weeks' ago, when, he, had arranged for an appointment, and that he believed Dr, Haywood had dropped the matter.
Mayor "Hylan followed his original telegram of instructions to Police Com¬ missioner Enright to drive the members of the Ku Klu.x Klan out of the city, in which he mentioned Dr, Haywood JEWISH STUDENTS TO and Dr, Straton, with one'in reply to

AFFIRMS HIS FRIENDSHIP FOR JEWS
Hugo Stinnes, German Magnate, and Promoter of People's Party, Denies Enmity for Rathenau
BERLI\.--(J, T, A,)—While de¬ clining to make a public statement on his attitude tovyards the Jevvish question and his relations to Dr, Rathenau, the assassinated Foreign Minister, Hugo Stinnes, German magnate, who is the power behind the People's Party, au¬ thorized a person usually representing him in public to give his views concern¬ ing the matters to the Jewish Tele¬ graphic Agency.
Herr Stinnes vvas consulted on these points because of the increased impor¬ tance of the Volkspartei in the new home policy of Germany. Asked con¬ cerning the rumors of his anti-semitic feeling and antagonism to the late Dr, Rathenau, Herr Stinnes declared he would be glad to frankly state before the Jewish public what his attitude to¬ wards the Jewish question is, but that it was "impossible".    The person very
"Herr Stinnes and Dr. Rathenau were- eertainly political opponents, holding different views on economic policiesi Rathenau favoring even socialization which Stinnes opposes, Stinnes had deep sympathy for Rathenau and always entertained friendly personal relations, often together spending hours running into the nights discussing political and economic questions. On the eve of Rathenau's assassination, the American Ambassador invited Rathenau for a political conversation concerning Ger¬ man reparations and other questions, to which Rathenau considered it necessary to invite Stinnes. Herr Stinnes has never been .'an anti-semtte, and he stands in political and personal relations with ^ number of Jews, the rumors of his enmity for Rathenau being legends, and the rumors of anti-Semitic feeling noth-
close to him, however, made the'follow- ing but a manceuvre to weaken Stinnes* ing statement in his behalf:    -   ,    •       political position.
