BERLIN, Oct. 13- (By the Associat
ed Press.)—Beer and prvtzels have
kept Max Egon, prince of Furstenb arg,
popular in the Furstenbirg district of
Baden since the revolution upset the
eld artictocracy. The prince owns a
brewery and a pretzel bakery, which
he has operated personally, and he has
not allowed prices to soar beyond tne
purees of his neighbors, among whom
he mingles on a democratic basis.
The prince bears the reputation of
making the best b<«er in Baden He is
a friend of former Emperor William
and frequently visits him at Doom
Castle in Holland. His ancestral cas

which is the source of the Danuoe
Aiver, which finds its way into the

Michael Bohnen, a German baritone
who sang at the Metropolitan Opera
House in New York last season, and
who will be heard there agin this year,
is about to appear at the Charlotten
burg Opera, Betlin, in a new opera es
pecially written for him by an Aus
trian. composer, Emil Nicholas R x*
nicek. „ , . ,
The opera, "Holofernes,” is based on
the Old Testament opocryphal Book or
Judith. Bohnen will have the role or
Holfernes, a general under the Asy
rian King Nubuchadnezzar. Holofer
nes is sent by the King to subdue Ju
dea and other nations west of his -em
pire. When Holofernes attacks the
Jews, Judith in order to save her na
tive town of Bethblia, which is be
sieged by the Assyrians, slips Int«
Holofernes tent under pretense of be
traying the town, and cuts off the gen
eral's head while he lies in a drunken
sleep. In addition to be being an opera
singer Bohnen is well known as an
amateur boxer.
German expers have been summoned
to Prague to testify how much Emmy
Deslinns hair was worth to her in
her operatic career. Deslinn is suing'
the manufacture of a hair tonic for
10,000 pounds damages which she al
leges she suffered because her hair
was ruined by a ,tonic guaranteed to
improve the condition of her scalp.
The singer says that practically all
her hair fell out after using the tonic,
and she alleges that, in consequence of
this, her earning capacity as a singer
is greatly impaired. Operatic experts
who are supporting her claims say
beautiful hair is almost as Important
as a good voice for a successful opera
tic career. The defendant company
declares the Deslinn is asking more
than the entire value of its factory,
patents, stock and good will, and fur
thermore, it alleges that there have
been insinuations that opera singers
generally wear false hair anyway.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—Not even in the days when he was president and his
hours were carefully charted for him—so many for interviews, so many
for correspondence, so many for congressinal or cabinet conferences—did Wood
row Wilson live more definitely by the clock than he does today, as a private
citizen and semi-invalid.
A person familiar with Wilson’s regimen can, by looking at his watch, tell
you just what the former president is doing at any given time. No wage
earning clock-puncher leads a more carefully timed existence. Although rou
tine to a high degree, it is robbed of the dreariness that follows most routine
by the variety of interests and subjects covered in the. definitely listed periods
of his daily schedule.
WILSON rises at 7. He shaves himself and is rather leisurely about his morn
ing toilet. It is after 8 before he is through shaving, bathing and dressing.
Breakfast at 8:30, is partaken with Mrs. Wilson. Then the morning papers—
Washington and New York—until 10 o’clock.
Promptly at 10, unless Dr. Graysor has dropped in to look over his patient
and put him through a course of calisthenics, he tackles his mail, which usually
is large.
He reads every every letter personally. To the more important ones he dic
tates the answer. T6 others he simply indicates to his secretary the nature
of the answer to be given.
THIS keeps him busy until about 12:30. After lunch at 1 o’clock he always
lies down for a nap. He sleeps until 3, when he arises to prepare for his
daily auto rides, at3:30. . „ , . .. , ..
These rides usually last about two hours. So carefully has he timed the
various drives he likes best, that he knows to a minute just how long each will
take. When he tells the' chauffeur where he wishes to go, he can tell you
whether he will be back by 5:20 or whether it will be 5:25.
At 5:30, returned from his ride, he hears the news of the day. Mrs. Wilson
SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
-Bv WILLIAM T. ELLIS
NEW MOTIONS IN OLD JERUSALEM .
“The International Sunday school

slonary Nation**—Ex. 16:19l Isaiah

Strangle and upsetting facts confront |
one In old Jerusalem these days. The (
beautiful dream of Zionism loses most
of its bloom upon close approach. A j
visiting- investigator, who is trying to
“see both sides and get all the facts," ,
is in for some startling experiences. ■
One of the most significant is the dis- !
covery that the orthodox Jew’s in Pal- :
estine are mostly bitter opponents of
the present Zionist project. Of the 40,
000 thousand Jews in Jerusalem today,
the majority are arrayed in opposition
to political Zionism. They are the old ■
residents, the devout children of Israel
who repaired to Jerusalem for purely j
spiritual motives. |
A brilliant Dutch lawyer, a Jew from -
Amsterdam, who has been made to suf- j
fer many indignities, including the lose |
of his ,position as a university profes- ,
sor in Jerusalem, because of his out- ,
spoken anti-Zionist views, set forth for ,
me, in succinct and picturesque Eng- j
lish, the familiar argument that it is j
impossible to restore Israel to her his- i
*toricfcand spiritual mission, among the '
•nations by means of what he character-^
ized as “a lot of infidel Bolshevist, ;
these Jewish colonists from Russia." I
Although it is the most pertinent II- j
lustration of the present lesson, this is ,
not the place to set forth the Zionist
story as one finds it in actuality in Pal
estine; except to say that the many de
vout Christians in Western Europe and
United States who believe that pres- j
ent-day Zionism fulfills the prophecies j
concerning Israel as a missionary na- |
tion and the return of the Jews to the
L<and of Promise, can find no support ;
for their views from the Christians in i
Jerusalem. I failed to discover a sin- |
gle Christian Briton or American in
Palestine who does not disapprove of
the existing Zionist enterprise. One of j
the foremost in denouncing Zionism to j
me was a British missionary to the ,
Jews, who nevertheless believes that
some day Israel will return to the Land
of Promise.
more imporianx man
Whether this particular enterprise of
Zionism is a success or a failure, a good
or a bad thing for the world, may be
a relatively small matter; but whether
the human race, In this hour of emer
gent need, is to be served by some peo
ple who sincerely feel themselves to
be God’s chosen instrument of holiness.
This is the one central point of the
day’s lesson. If literal Israel has failed
of her opportunity, then some spiritual
successor must become God's mission
ary to the nations, to testify to the real
nature of Jehovah and to set forth the
divine will for human relationship.
Tragedy after tragedy has overtaken
the nations of the earth in the pastilve
years. Leader after leader has fallen
or failed. Plan after plan has proved
futije. Both reactionary and radical
experiments have been vainly tried to
the limit. Still conditions in the world
grow worse and worse. Although
statesmen continue to talk in the sor
did terms of the money-market, at last
there are signs that men are beginning
to perceive that it is more moral and
spiritual leadership that mankind
awaits. Things will never be right
among the nattops until people get
right with God and His blear laws. It
is a spiritual Israel, calling men to pen
itence and obedience to the King of
Kings, that Is the day’s international
need. TJile'is the sort of Zionism—a
return to the true worship of Jehovan
_that holds hope for humanity.
Some TTntlonNi Opportunity
It was a big idea that old Israel em
bodied; and that It Is the most needed
plan for today but vindicates tpe an
cient revelation. The children of Prom
ise were chosen as the medium through
whom the One True God should reveal
himself to an Idolatrous world. Not
for themselves alone was the snDre™f
revelation given to the Jews of; the
unity of God; they were to be His mls-j
slonaries to all mankind. The crown
of Israel's blessing was that it should,
become a blessing. Something more
than salvation for the Jews was In
volved; theirs was a call to the highest
service. They became a great nation
because of the unifying and Inspiring
truth of their mission as God's peculiar
people.
With a sense of awe, we recognize
the tremendous truth that today some
existing nation—and probably the free
Christian people of this western world
—has an opportunity to duplicate Is
rael’s mission on a far larger scale,
without making Israel's supreme mis
take. Leadership of the whole world
awaits that land which has the vision
to fulfill its Christian destiny. If any
people have a sufficient sense of the
times' desperate need, and of the sim
ple qualification necessary for this in
comparable task, to undertake to il
lustrate and to proclaim the truth that
the way of obedience to God is the only
way out of the jungle in which this
generation finds itself, that people
will inherit all the blessings ever
promised to ancient Israel.
This truth lies on the surface of
things. A child may understand it. Yet
it means more than anything that all
the secret conferences of statesmen
have debated since the war. Any one
nation that will accept as its solemn
and supreme obligation the task of be
ing God’s loyal ambassador to the
world can at once solve its own do
mestic problems and deliver humanity
from the present international tangle.
It is leadership in righteousness tjiat
our times demand. The ancient task

of old Israel, forfeited by failure and
disobedience? is today the opportunity
of some Christian nation.
Clearly, such a missionary program
carries with It all the Individual
benefits promised of old to the Chosen
People. Ey it, domestic politics would
be purified. A new order of public men,
who felt themselyes to be called of God
to high, hard service, would be pro
duced. Private morals and public
standards would immediately feel the
ennobling effect of such a national
conception of a call to be God’s re
presentative.
A Story From Becrsheba
Just as a man must have a purpose,
in order to save his life from frittering
away, so a nation mission if it is to
fulfill a distinctive destiny. Such a
spirit depends on leadership among
the people, even as the World’s waits
for leadership by some nation which
knows ltBelf to be called and set apart.
In stressing this plain point of leader
ship, I am not going one Jot beyond
the .foremost teaching of the day's Les
son. The whole mission of Israel hing
ed upon God’s recognition of this truth.
Down in Beersheba, Palestine, some
time ago, an incident occurred that
fairly pictures the case, especially as
applied to Individual possibilities.
There had been Arab risings and re
bellion in arid about Beersheba. This
is a pastoral region ,and the British au
thorities decided to punish the people
by confiscating their flocks. So the
punitive force gathered up the flocks
of sheep assembled at the wells of
Beersheba and decided to drive them
all off, for further disposition. All the
separate flocks, of individuals and of
villages, were massed in one vast
flock, containing many thousands of
sheep.
Then the order was given to move
on with the confiscated stock: That
was more easily said tthan done. The
huge aggregation of animals refused
to be driven. JSoldiers yelled at them
and flung stones and beat the outside
beep with their guns. Thev
ously to and fro behind the immense
flock, firing their rifles into the air.
All in vain. The atrrighted animals
simply milled to and fro in panic. The
authority of the British Government
meant nothing to them. little the silly
creatures cared for officialdom. It was
a military expedition versus a fleck
of dumb animals. Every effort of the
army was put forth to move the sheep,
but without effect; and the officers fe-t
that they were bifiug made ridiculous
in the eyes of the Arabs.
Then a wise head suggested, call
the shepherds.” At once the word went
forth, and the shepherds appeared
amidst the heterogeneous maps, of fear
smitten animals. All seemed confusion
and hopeless tangle, unti\ each sheP
herd began to call his own sheep by
name and then to walk-forth in front
of them. At once order succeeded chaos.
The sheep knew their shepherd s voice
and followed him. What authority and
force and formidable measures of coer
cion had failed to do was accomplished
by each shepherd’s caring for his own
flock.
Isn’t that a picture of the world and
its present plight? It is to be delivered
by leadership; by each man, each na
tion, fulfilling tho shepherd role to
those who know his voice. The incident
Is a parable for pastors; and none the
less for patriots and all publicists The
Great Shepherd has given the gift tu
leadership to those who dare lead, in
obedience to Him. And some Shepherd
Nation may nowadays become a new
Israel to lead the panicky, punished
