BETH ISRAEL PAYS
HONOR TO SOLDIERS
Thirteen Stars Added to Serv

Speaker Refers to Children of Israel
as Down-Trodden. People and
Says They Have Serious
f Duty to Perform.
Impressive services were held at
Temple Beth Israel last night, when
13 stars were added to the service
lias, already containing 78 stars, in
honor of the young men of that con
gregation who have enlisted in the
service of their country.
Rabbi Jonah B. Wise, speaker of
the evening, discussed Israel's portion
in winning the present world war.
"There is a special task for the chil
dren of Israel," he said. "They are
more capable of assimilating the fight
for world democracy than any other
people for the reason that their his
tory has been one of constant resist
ance to oppression. From the begin
ning almost they have been what we
might call a downtrodden people. If
they do not feel that they are capable
of doing more than any other people,
then they are not true descendants of
martyrs.
Common Sacrifice edcd.
"There is a special task for the chil
dren of Israel. It is to keep men alert
and alive. It is to keep men willing
and anxious to make sacrifices. The
children of Israel may be among the
first to give up "rights, wealth and
privileges so they may have a part in
the great common sacrifice which
must be made in order to obtain a
lasting peace.
"Vou should plan to be with those
who are now welding the plow which
is digging up the fuirows into which
are to be planted the seeds of peace.
Join with those who seek real peace.
There is no indignity in doing trivial
ities. "Tonight we dedicate additional
names on our service flag. They have
gone into service, not only for Amer
ica, but for all men and women.
Peace will bring no blessing unless
we sleeplessly and earnestly pray that
this Nation and all nations may be
worthy of it."
Thirteen Stars Added.
Those for whom the stare were added
last night included Ben Ettelson,
Louis Gevurtz, S. M. Sherman, Lester
Bichel. Allan Meier, Charles Cohen,
Milton Meyer. James Rothchild, Harold
Maison, Jerome Stone, Dr. I. Rosen

SMILING, athletic "Doug" Fairbanks
returns to his host of admirers to
day at the Peoples Theater in his
latest Artcraft photoplay, "Say, Young
Fellow." "Doug" has played the West
ern bad man, society chap, detective,
heir to a throne, etc., but this time he
devotes his talents to the art of news
paper reporting.
There never was a newspaper scribe
quite like Fairbanks. He makes the
game almost as dangerous as aerial
battling, while the reporter of Say,
Young Fellow" possesses all of the
qualifications of a circus acrobat and
burglar. The city editor's "young fel
low" gains distinction by interviewing
a millionaire who had always evaded
newspapermen, and then is. sent to a
neighboring town to uncover a graft
scandal.
The reporter makes good in a typical
Fairbanks way. during which he man
ages to become involved m a series or
mixups which threaten a hospital or
morgue trip . on numerous occasions.
"Doug" has plenty of opportunity to
display his athletic prowess and his op
timistic smile.

spies, warriors and society penes or tne
Civil War days, "Madam Who?" has

"Madam Who?" is a spectacular pho
toplay and is rich in martial atmos
phere. However, it's not a regular war
picture, for its story deals with the life
of a determined young girl who be
comes a secret service agent to avenge
the death of her father and brother, lost
in serving the South.

Defendants Deelare Victim Attempted

Prior to Fatal Shooting.

Kendree, the well-known sheep man
at Dry Prairie on April 20 last, accord
ing to the defendants testimony at the
trial for murder here today. J. K.
Paddock, who also is a defendant in
the case, testified as to the alleged
circumstances leading up to the shoot
ing.
Both defendants declared that Mc-
Kendree had attempted to drive them
off the ranch and in the quarrel which
followed Holbrook had shot when Mc-
Kendree moved to raise his gun to
his shoulder.
It was alleged that Holbrook had
leased a tract of land from Paddock
for the lambing season, and had re
tained Paddock to assist during that
period. The land where the men were
camped was still public domain, al
though petition for filing under the
grazing act had been made by Pad
dock. The defendants contended that
McKendree had attempted to usurp
deeded lands nearby, owned by Pad
dock, for his sheep. Both Holbrook
and Paddock received lengthy examin
