Fisher was inaugu- rated, Mr. Guthman sltid: "This organization marks a miles(ram in the Jewish history of tiffs city. for it is not only a constructive and worthy endeavorl but it marks the first im- portant move in which representatives of every Jewish element in Seattle participated harmoniously." Union of American Hebrew Congregations. The importance of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations was stressed. This institution, Mr• Guth- man said, was creating religious literature; training religious leaders and educating the children that they too inay preserve their faith. Of the uota to lie raised by the Congrega- on amountbig to $2,000, little more than half has/)con raised. Mr. Guth- man appealed to the congeragtion to show itself not unmindful of its obliga- tions in what tie termed as "a grand and unselfish endeavor." A tribute to the efforts of Rabbi Koch who h:ts served for twenty-two !years conchlded Mr. Guthman's re- port with the recommendation that steps 1)e taken in a concrete way to show the appreciation of the I)oard and congregation. General satisfaction wits expressed at the progress of the congregation and its varimls institutions.

He is the third Jew to hold this post. that emphasize, d its impressiveness. Mrs. Marks gave an interesting talk also on Parliamentary Rule of which she has a wide knowledge. "If the will of the people is suffic- ent]y strong it can compel the nations to settle their prohlems by pacific means," said Mr. Cotterill. "The Briand-Kellogg Peace Treaty is for the purpose of outlawing war, to settle all prol)lems between nations by pacific means although it is of course, no absolute guarantee against war. There will lie the moral obliga- tion, the respect of dissenting n't- tions for the will of the people for eace." Interesting information told y Mr. Cotterill was the fact that Ge, rmany w.,ts the first to sign this treaty, followed by the United States. Courtesy Seattle P.I. Gee. F.

Owing to the fact that Mr. Cotter[ll was a little later than he was ex- pected, the Seattle Section had an additional patriotic program which though not expected, was fully en- joyed by the members• Meeting the emergency of filling an empty half hour of the afternoon, Mrs. Louis Marks, chairman of the program com- mittee, led the singing of "America" and then read the "Salute to the Flag" with a diction and reverence Seattle Symphony Orchestra Association Being Formed MEMBERS FOR SEATTLE SYMPHONY ASSOCIATION ASKED BY MRS. EMILE MARX AT COUNCIL MEETING. HE Seattle Symphony Orchestra will require an addi- tional sum of $20,000 to carry out its program for the season, so a Seattle Symphony Orchestra Association has been formed and memberships solicited from all civic organizations, with the fee to be one dollar or more. Mrs. Emile Marx, whose interest in the Symphony orchestra has been an active one, since its organization, is in charge of this work for the Seattle Section, Council of Jewish Women. At the meeting which took place on Wednesday afternoon at Temple Center, November 7th she appealed for members among the Jewish women. "The Seattle Symphony Orchestra Association," Mrs. Marx said, "is an organization that should have the support of every individual who has the cultural good of our fair city at heart. Its object is the maintenance of the Seattle Sym- phony Orchestra for Seattle. The way to accomplish this objective is to ask the members of all organizations and clubs to become associates or members of this association by the payment of one dollar annually. The sum needed is $20,000. It sounds like a large amount and the sum of one dollar very little to the individual, but each additional dollar will help to make the required amount. "When we think of the splendid auditorium concerts created within the reach of everyone and of what is being done for our children in the Saturday morning concerts, I am sure no one hesitates to come forward with a dollar. It is your duty as citizens of this wonderful city to do your share for its cultural good." M. Goodgliek will be chairman of the new building conunittee which was appointed at the general meeting of the Seattle Tahnud Torah, hehl Sunday evening, NoveInber 11th, in the Talmud Torah Building. Herman Kessler will be citrnpaign manager and has already made sonn tentative phuis on the procedure lie will take. Other nmmbers of the committee: I ) . Brenner, treasurer; C. Miller, N. Anches, M. Bereh, A. Sherman, Mrs. G. Shucklin, Mrs. M. Berch and Mrs. Rose Steinfield. Although there was an active dis- cussion its to the selection of property for the new building there was no decision made. This point will how- ever be taken tip later, and the com- mittee is desirous to make the selection that will be in accordance with what the. majority desires. Fred Bergman, chairman of the Board of l)irectors, nmde the an- nouncement that as a result of the enthusbtsm at this frst open meeting there will be a series held throughout the year, especially to discuss ques- tions of the canipaign.

Indeed he was a remarkable man-- a genius in Israel--he came to the United States penniless, without a family or prestige and with but lit- tle schoohng. From the humblest employment he passed into mer- cantile life in one of the largest cities of the United States, all the while preparing himself for the great and noble profession of the law. His progress as a lawyer and as a keen student of legal problems in the city of Chicago and in the State of Illi- nois, is phenomenal. Upon his death he was ranked as the foremost leader of the Chicago bar, with a practice varied and lucrative. "Adolph Kraus was more than a mere B'nai B'rith member and lead- er. He lived his B'nai B'rith'ism. He knew that he could best serve his people by taking an active part in communal life, as his people's repre- sentative in public position, and when the call came from political head- tarters requesting that he become e corporation counsel of the great City of Chicago, he placed aside his vast personal and private practice and assumed full charge of the legal work of the city• On the Board of Education he also sought to put into actual practise the principles of his B'nai B'rith'ism and, what was more fundamental, his Judaism. And when in later years, lie wits stricken with ill health, he put aside his personal comfort and continued to serve as /resident of the organization that he oved, in spite of a consuming ilhicss that eventually caused his death. "We who have reaped the benefits of his tireless efforts, we who now re- oice in the organizatinn that he help- ed to perfect; can do little uiore than pay tribute to his intellect and honor to his name. "The City of Chicago has lost a great communal leader; the State of Illinois has lost a chamt)ion of the rights of the, downtrodden and op- presse, d, and the whole worht has lost, a leader, an idoalist and the grand ohl nian of the B'nai B'rith organiza- tion.

We ofteu wonder what is the fund- mental difference between Judaism md Christianity. In ethics and morality there is hardly any distine- ,ion.
