,/Imporitant Gathering
In his statement to the contributors, Mr. Rothenberg said: ',
"Unusual importance attaches to the National Conference on Palestine which will be held in Boston on Saturday eve¬ ning, November lb and Sunday, No¬ vember li. It will,be the first national meeting of the contributors, of the United Palestine Appeal after the momentous non-Zionist Conference on October 20. . "Boston w;ill afford an opportunity to those who have already taken an out¬ standing part in the work of rebuilding Palestine to give a new tempo to; the fund-raising efforts for Palestine, because of the spirit of linity in the-wprk for Palestine,, which resulted from that Con¬ ference.
. Many Problems
"The decisions to be made at the Bos¬ ton Conference will be of so important a character, tliat the. conference will need the benefit of the communal experience pf ; every important contributor : to and . worker for the .United Palestine Appeal. ; The problems that will come, before the various sessions will be domestic as welt as those concerning the best, interests of Palestine. The steps that will have, to be, taken to interest Ainerican Jews, re¬ gardless of their previous affiliation, to a .greater United. Palestine Appeal, and the plans that wiir have to be drawn up to take advantage of the undeniable economic progress that is taking place in Palestine, will require a deep sense of responsibility and a. prestige which must be provided by a large body of repre¬ sentative , Jews," Mr. Rothenberg de¬ clared.

U. S. Army Band Concert

Famous Musical Organization Is
Coming   Here   Under   The
Auspices of The Ki''
wanis CJub
The people of Columbus and central Ohio are to have, in the'visit of the U. S, Army Band on November lo an op¬ portunity to hear what is generally con¬ ceded to be the finest military band in the world. This organization is General Pershing's own idea, conceived while in Europe during the world war and car¬ ried, out after thc armistice., He felt that music would be needed as well as bullets, to win the world war, and he, organized, the A. E. F. Headquarters Band, wiiose perfoi'inances were notable.
He heard while in; Europe the greatest military bands of Europe and on retiirn- ing to the United States he realized that it was as necessary to maintain the mor¬ ale of the ai-iiiy in peace time as during the war, arid that music was even more essential for that, than in war time. "Per¬ shing's Own," the organization that he formed at that time was, the result. The country was searched for players and under : severe qualification tests, the United States Army Band was ..formed, and now for the first time it is on tour, affording the. people of a few fortunate centers an opportunity to hear itsi won¬ derful music..
Captain William J. Stannard was prin¬ cipally instrumental in rounding oiit the organization under General Pershing's jirders, and he is its leader: with Thomas F. Darcy as second leader^ The band carries sixty pieces, and is rich in instru-,: mental soloists each, being a master of his instrument.
. If any have the idea that the band plays only music of the so-called band type, he should disabuse his mind of that notion. The. highest type of music is rendered; readily. and perfectly, but while classical music is the type that makes up the body of its programs, more popu¬ lar pieces;, national; airs and even a bit bf jazz, are used in between so that the requirements of a wide variety of iniisical tastes are catered to. But no one should regard this as just art ordinary band and expect to hear from it nothing but marches and the like.
The United States Army Band comes to Columbus under the auspices of :the Kiwanis Club of CoUimbus, which will use the proceeds to, help finance its Christmas party which it proposes to give to the under privileged children of Columbus at the Holidays.
The club gave such a party la;st year, the success of which was so great that there have been urgent requests that the party be repeated this year,'and it will be/
The Columbus concert will be given ih MeraorialHall aiid there will be but one evening performance. In the after¬ noon preceding it is planned to give a program in the same hall: calculated to appeal to the school children of the city. Tickets for the concerts may be pro¬ cured from Edw. J. Goodman whos^ office is in the A. L U. Citadel.
NEW YORK —Enthusiastic concur-i fence in tlic decisions of the Non-Zionist I Conference Concerning Palestine, held i under the chairmanship of Louis Mar¬ shall in New York City on October 21, that American Jews join in the extended Jewish Agency for the. upbuilding of Palestine disregarding theoretical differ¬ ences of opinion between Zionists and non-Zionists, isevidcnced in the first re¬ plies to the inquiry directed by thci,"Jew¬ ish Daily Itulletin" io leaders of .the Jewish communities throughout the coun¬ try. The inquiry was directed mainly to. those leaders, not affiliated with' the Zionist Organization of Amenca, prom¬ inent in welfare, educational and civic work,        ¦
This inquiry was sent to a large num¬ ber of members of the National Com¬ mittee of the United Jewish Campaign, to thc members of the Executive Board of the Union of American Hebrew Coti- gregatidiis, to the members of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and the United Synagogue of America, to'thc officers and members of the Board of Directors of the Federations of Jewish Charities, to some members of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis in, the UriiteJ States: and Canada, and the corporate members of the American Jewish com¬ mittee.   . ,
The pact concluded, between thc Zion¬ ists and nop-ZJonists is hailed in these responses as a great step forward toward Jewish unity; United action on Palestine will beiiefit not only the rebuilding work in Palestine, but .also other .Jewish causes, since it is expected that it will result in greater hatmony' within the Jewish community.
Louis Marshall aud Dr. Chaim Weiz¬ mann were laiided as the.prime ihovcrs in this event of historic importance.
ROGER W. STRAUS, New York City, President. National Federation. of Temple Brotherhoods—"The Conference held on October 22nd at which the Non- Zionists decided, to co-operate , wbple- heartedly for Palestine,, Reconstruction through the Jewish. Agency marks; a great advance for the Jews throughout the world. 1 ¦ '. , "United'the people of Jewish faith can increase, their contribution "to the rest of the civilized world so. that besides insur¬ ing the success- of Palestine Reconstruc-' tion, which in itself is a world service, it augurs well for unity in connection witli other. world problems; to the solu¬ tion of which a united Jewry can con¬ tribute constructive thought and action."
DAVID A.; BROWN, Detroit, Mich,, National Chairman, United Jewish Cam- ipaigi^—"Tbere were many conflicting emotions within me during the entire .period of the Non-Zionist conference. I had felt, and it was so expressed previ¬ ous to the conference, that we "were on tiie verge of making history, aitd now that the conference is over, it is my firm conviction that history has been.made.
"Five years of intensive, work has been brought to fruition during thi-ee sessions of the Conference, lasting less than six actual hours.

"There was bathcrcd at this Confer- eiice a cross-section of American Jewry from many parts of the country, who listened attentively to tlie entire pres- cnlation during which time there was not even one controversial voice heard. When tlie votes \vere taken which meant added responsibilities, and an association with a group whose idealogy they were not altogether in harmony „with, the re¬ sponse was a unanimous decision fol¬ lowed by great applause, an .evidence that their action was mc^rc thaii a mere gesture. ,
"Credit ior trie successrul culmination of this five years of effort is .due in my judgment to two great men. Louis Mar¬ shall, and Dr. Chain! Weizmann, who during this entire time have labored un¬ der great difficulties, especially during the higlily controversial period of 1925, lfJ20, and 1927.        .
"To. Louis Marshall must go almost entirely the credit for-creating'a receptive atthude of mind on the part of the Non- Zionists, of America towards associating, themselves with the Agency. Td him there was evidenced during the entire conference that respect and admiration bordering on deep affection, which in a large measure was resiponsible for the fine attitude which resulted in one of the best conferences that it has ever been niy plcasurp to attend.
"With the appointment of the Com¬ mittee of. Seyen, and through them the selection of those American representa¬ tives of the Agency, only the prelim¬ inary work will have been accomplished. There will be much yet to be'done both oh the part of the; Non-Zionists and the Zionists of, this and other countries if the completed Agency is to.function suc¬ cessfully.
The work about to.be doi^ is of such a permanent nature that the foundations, must not be laid carelessly nor hurriedly. The : desire for rapid accomplishment must not over-shadow the need for care-, ful planniiig,
"What little part I have played, in this effort I consider a great privilege. What¬ ever else I may be permitted to do, I will do with the full understanding of the great responsibility that is attached to service of this nature. .
"To Louis Marshall and to Dr. Chaim Weizmann I extend not' only my con- gi-atuliitions, but a deep sense of appre¬ ciation for the wonderful service which they have both rendered to world Jewry," MAX J. KOHLER, New York City— "Although I continue to be as strongly opposed as ever to Political Zionism, I found myself prepared to vote unhesi¬ tatingly in favor of the two sets of reso¬ lutions'unanimously adopted at the Non- Zionist Conference on October 21st. The very able report of the 'Joint Palestine Survey Commission;' signed by all four Commissioners and approved by Louis Marshall. and Chaim Weizmann, is a most statesmanlike : document, prepared with no other design than to set forth the truth, as disclosed in the 741 page report of the Experts, aiid the personal (Continued on page 4)

This is the second of a series of talks on "Great Religious Personalities" that he is giving in connection with the course in Comparative Religion in thc Jewish Religious Teachers' Training School. The public is cordially invited to attend these lectures.
"Buddha himself never recognized that name," Rabbi Tarshish said in his initial lecture of the series on Buddhism, last Tuesday evening, "it was given to him by companions, who after having been converted to his way of thinking, hailed him as 'Tlie Buddha,', or the individual in whom the wisdom of Heaven had been embodied."

he became discontented, and decided to change .his mode of living, so as to.find the deeper realities of life. In his wan derings he came to the conclusion that one could not attain reality through tor¬ menting the flesh and giving up all phys¬ ical pleasures, a revolutionary doctrine in philosophical thought in India at the time. Continuing the battle for light, a vision came to him. He converged five disciples, these grew to 60, and today his name is known to more people than that of any. other historical figure and his teachings have influenced people through¬ out the world.
The only way to get away from dis¬ content, he believed, was to remove the causes, which were, he found, three ex¬ pressions of the ego-desirfr—sensuous- ness, desire for personal immortality, and desire fo^ prosperity. He outlined an eight-fold path whereby his disciples could reach a state bf self-effacement. He also preached the belief that the good and evil of every life determines the happiness or misery of some other life.
Many changes have been made in the teachings of Buddha since his time, Rabbi Tarshish said in his conclusion.

DR. THOMPSON TO ACT AS CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN
Many Prominent Jews Will Par¬ ticipate In This Annual Effort of Love
$33,188   WILL   GO  TO   JEW¬ ISH WELFARE FEDERATION
The keynote of Columbus' annual com¬ munity fund drive for 1928 .will be sounded by Dr. W. 0. Thompson, presi¬ dent, emeritus of Ohio State university and . chairman of the campaign, at a^ meeting, in. Memorial Hall, Tuesday eve¬ ning. ¦ ¦'¦,¦".•:¦
Most of the 2,000 workers from all sections of the city and county will be in the audience to hear Dr., Thompson and other speakers outline the campaign, which will begin the next morning. These volunteers will take their cues at this meeting before setting out to raise the $715,9i)2 fund needed to carry on . vital community social work during.the year.   ";  "   ¦   " '
Fifty-three Agencies Fifty-three   agenciesi   including   child welfare, character building,' family care, educatiprial   and   recreational   activities, are a part of the community fund, the: goalfor which is only $49,820, above the   . goal of one year ago. .This increase is    ¦ due to the absolute necessity of increas- . ; ing-the  budgets  for  some agencies  so that their work can go. forward arid also' to the necessity of including-an emer¬ gency or shrinkage fund.: '  :
Every agency's budget. Dr. Thompson points 6ut, is carefully examined by the budget comriiittee of the fiind after , it has been adopted by the agency's own managing board. Before the budgctis subriiitted to the public for gifts, it is given consideration and, adopted by the v board of directors of the fund, as-rep¬ resenting the conservative needs of the agency.
Will Open Wednesday The   campaign   wiir .open   November  ; Mth and will continue through. Novem-. ber 22iid. with all of the workers in at¬ tendance at daily luncheons to give re- , ports of progress.
The Community Fund plan has been recognized by a majority of the progfes- . ;sive cities in the United States and Can¬ ada as the one best method for raising money for, and administering their social. agencies. The budget system, which is very finely organized in Columbus, ap¬ pears: to the general public as bringing the same kind of intelligent supervision, in the administration pf the fund as one would expect in a successful corporation of business management. In addition to this feature the planning for develop¬ ment along welfare lines is important, and insures a balance community pro¬ gram for the future. These two features niean the saving of thousands of dollars for the city each year, and if they alone represented the entire scope of work of the Columbus Community Fund's activ¬ ities, the efficiency would be suflicient to commend the program to the support of the general public.
Jewish Aspect The Jewish W^elfare Federation of Columbus is a part of this plan and is most heartily in sympathy with it. Most of its financial support is secured from th^ Fund; hence it is absolutely essential that the entire amount sought by the present drive be obtained, in order that every phase of the work being carried on at the Hermine Schonthal Center may be continued.
It is hoped that as the big drive ap¬ proaches every Chronicle reader in Co¬ lumbus and Franklin County will consider it an opportunity to give both financial and moral support to this effort, which represents the heart and the soul of "our no mean city."
