His   Recently   Published   Auto¬ biography Ib Creating Much ' Comment
NEW. YORK.—An appeal to tho-se who pledged contributions in the,local drives of the $25,000,000 United Jewish Campaign, for the .payment of their ple<lges on the p,ccasion of the High Hpti days was igsued by David A..Ri^own, na¬ tional chairman of the Campaign. - , The Holy, days, he said, cniphasiEcd the, ileamcss of winter, wnich,would in¬ crease the need,of men, women .and children of- Poland whom economic fail lire, disease, and famine have .Tendered homeless and destitute. He said that, tlic amount of money paid into the treasury of the organization during the last few months was greater, in proportion to the total ot subscriptions, than in any other .Jewish campaign.     , ,  , '   -
P.rftgram of  Relief
, The .money thus' made available, he said* had enabled, the joint bistribiition Committee to carry oil !its program of relief in Poland, Russia, Roumania, Bes- sarabiaj Checo-Slovakia, ^nd other coun¬ tries, and to continue its work of ajgri-
;cnllural colonization in Ukraine and, the Crimea. He stated that the child-care and medical , activities,, reconstructive loans, .and land settlement work would be interrupted linless, additional 'fumls were forthcoming immediately to meet the iciirrent budgeted-activities. '
• ..In his message to State and local cam¬ paign officers, Mf. Brown said:
"That up to, tlie present we have been able to carry on our w,ork in all ofthe couiitries In which, the,.,Joint Distribu¬ tion Comniittee is functioning at pres¬ ent is due in a large measure to the prompt remittance of all collections by,
'state and local treasurers of Our Cam- piaign, I .believe that I ani correct in stating-that,'in proportion to the amount
, subscribed,-more nioncy has come in durfng the past few riionths thanin any other campaign; ,   .   '
Musit Be Collected
,¦'¦1 liaye before ma the budget requirer ments of the joint-Distribution Commit¬ tee, up to December 31st of this year, and I can readily see that a yery large siiin must be collected between September 1st ahd the end of, the year if we are to cop-
, tiniie'to. carry on all of our .necessary activities. Nothing could be more trag.ie than an interruption of our childrcare, oiir .medical'activities, our reconstructive loans, and our land settlement work in Russia, which would necessarily follow ; should Ave lack.the necessary funds,, : "It is our hope that wc may be able between September 1st and Rosh Has-
.hotiah to send through the Joint Dis¬ tribution Committee to our suiffering brethren in Ru-ssia, Poland and through- ptit Eastern Europe, stich help as wi.H make this New Year a happier and brighter year for them."

The Feast of Taber¬ nacles or Succoth
This year the Feast of Tabernacles falls on Wednesday evening,., September 22nd and Thursday, September 23rd and continues for seven days.:' The Law (Lev. XXni, 34, 43) commands the Israelite to dweir in booths for seven days, commencing On the fifteenth day of the seventh month (Tishri);to reriiind him that God; caused the children of Israel to dwell in booths when He led them out of. the land of Egypt- The eighth day was ordained tobe kept as a soleinn assembly." This will be ob¬ served on the .Wednesday evening and Thursday following, September twenty- niiith and thirtieth.
-As part of t]iC;Ccrcmonial'of the day/ the Law ordains that the Israelite shall take on the first day of the festival "the fniit of the goodly tree, the branches of. palm trees,.- the boiighs,of thick-leaved trees and .willows of the brook, and to rejoice before the .Lord."- This is ob¬ served, /by bringing, citron fruit, palm branch, myrtle and \yillow Into the house of Gddi in the book of Nehemi^h "VHI, 15, is a detailed description of the cele¬ bration of this festival in biblical days. . The festival \s in intent and cere¬ monial*, a thanksgiving,/festival, inter- iwinlng gratitude for. God's mercy iihto, the people of Israel amidst the nations of .the world, with thankfulness for his bounty and grace to eicli-individual, - It Is the harvest festival and the earliest thanksgiving feast, tbe type after. which .the American Thanksgiving Day; was fashioned.
The custom of dwelling in temporary huts or booths is not otily to remind the Israelite of the wanderings of. his ancestors, in the wilderness, but, also to recall to his-mind that God has kept him throughout the year amidst life's un¬ certainties.
The fes.tival has of late been used to encourage charity. . Tlie fruits of the field are brought into God's.^ house as a sign of thankfiilness and after the ser-, vice-are sent to the hospitals or the poor of the city. The attempt has of late ¦been made to have,the .children take a central part jn the .observance, of this festival. ' ¦
It' is, the custom of the Synagojg to signa!i;fe the close of the holy days of the early autumn season by a festivity thoroughly characteristic of biii; religion, known; as Simchath Torah, "the rejoic: ing in the Law." The last section of the Pehtateuchal weekly lessons is read on this day, and is followed immediately py the reading of tbe first part of Genesis.

L. Marshall Reaffirms His Stand on Act of : Turkish JewFsh Notables
Proves HiB Point That Turkish'Jewish LeaderB   Had  No   Right  to  Re¬ nounce Charter of Liberty
, : NEW YORK-' (J. T. A.).-When asked' by the representative of the Jew¬ ish Telegraphic Agency, yesterday for liis comment on thc.cables from Con-: stantinoplc siiid Geneva, Xouis Marshall reiterated his previous stand, declaring himself unwilling to modify in . .the slightest degree his previous statements, in which the Turkish Jewish leaders were charged W|ith cowardice, . Mr. Mar¬ shall declared:
''After reading the cablegrams from Constantinople in which it is sought to justify the, action pf the Turkish Jewish notables renouncing the rigl^its guaran¬ teed by the Treaty of. Lausanne to the jews of; Turkey,.v I am . unwilling to modify In the slightest .'degree what I have said in my several statements on that subject. On the contrary,, what Mr. Franco has said by way of apology only strengthens my conviction, that the action' proposed to be taken is calami-. tons. Jtis entirely true, however, that my motive,,iri criticizing, this action;was promptied-by 'the desire to defend the Turkish Jews froin themselves'.: It might have been added that it Is like¬ wise due to ari .overwhelming wish that this action shall hot be regarded as a precedent to be pursued in. other coun¬ tries. The very fact that. it. is now said that the Jeivs of Tiirkey have not unconditionally , renounced, their/ guar¬ anteed minority - rights and that an at¬ tempt ,is nOw being made to secure from the Turkish governmnjent counter guar¬ antees 'of Jevrish prerogatives and rights' tells the whole story.._ The Treaty, of Xausahne waS not intended to confer 'prerogatives' upon, the Jew or ariy pther" minorities. Its puirpose was to confer upon them the funda¬ mental rights of,"citizenship as ;recog¬ nized in the United. States, Great Britain, France and other leading na¬ tions. By that treaty these rights were by the government of Tiirkey.recdgnized as fundamental laws, that no law, regu¬ lation or .official action' >vas tp conflict or interfere with the/stipulations con¬ tained in the treaty, and that no law, regulation qr official action should pi-e- vail over theni.   .
"It is, these rights that the notables have presumed to surrender with the expectation that the Turkish govern¬ ment might eventually confer upon the Jews similar rights. The fallacy of this conception lies in the fact that the Treaty of- Lausanne affords sanctions for rights conferred by that instrument which can be resorted to in the e'yent of a failure to conform with their re¬ quirements. No matter what arrarlBe- ment the Tiirkish government may qiake with! the Turkish Jews it will have tio such sanctions. It-will not be a mat¬ ter of international concern. It will eliminate from the fundamental law of Turkey the Bill of Rights guaranteed by the Treaty of- Lausai^ne. It will enable the Turkish government to do just what Roumania did after 1678^ and what would be done in other countries but for the fact that the treaty Js a con¬ tract, not with the inmorities, bqt with the nations of the earth. The Turkish notables have no more right to renounce this charter oi liberty for the Jews than they have for the Armenians or any other of tl(e Turkish minorities. I am familiar with the actual conditions of Jewish life in Turkey and ^ith the knowledge that I possess, I repeat that this act of .surrender is an act of ab¬ ject cowardice. On the other hand, I am gratified with the resolution adopted by the National Minorities Congress at Geneva wMch dcnouiKeB ^s nul4 and void the reuuiiciatioii of the Turkish potables and characterizes as a violation on the part of any govern ment to bring about a renunciation of the treaty provisions intended to guar¬ antee the security of minorities."
