Judaism in America, as many other rcliRions, has in the past decades suf¬ fered some diminution of its influeiict. 'tfs leaders were reliant on the presuma¬ bly never-failing impetus of its sacreij' writings and glorious history.   '

On February 21, 1S)24, a nieetfng was held by a large number of local men^ at the Chittenden Hotel and a social club was formed that will be known as "Ex\ celsior  Club of  Columbus,  Ohio",  pat¬ terned on the same basis as the finest club  in   CIcvelan'd,   Ohio, .by  the  same name. The following officers were elected: Mr. Max Weinberger, President. Mr, William Cohen, Vice President. Mr. Mitchell G. Koen, Secretary. Mr. J. Shapiro, Treasurer. 'Fhc..purposes of this club are for so¬ cial  welfare';and~entertaihment  for  its members, their wives aiid children.
Mr, Weinberger, president of this club rnade these remarks at this meeting:
'There has long been a need of such a club in Columbus where men and women should have the Opportunity of meeting one another at social functions in the winter and at picnics and out-door gatherings in the summer time, where members shall really have entertainment planned for them for a good time in- .stead of for financial gains as has been the case in most entertainments in the past."
The class. of membership and appli¬ cants has been gratifying to the officers and the organizers of this club. The chairman of the entertainment commit¬ tee has reported to the club at the last meeting that an ehiborate program of cnt.crtainments is ia proce.ss and a later aniiotmcement will be made as to'what kind of entertainment will be had, where and when it shall take place. It will be soihething different and a surprise to its nrembership and friends. A limited number of invitations will be mailed to friends of the membership of the E:f- celsior Club.
BERLIN (J. T. A.)—General Lu¬ dendorff, on trial for trcdso'n in connec¬ tion with his participation in the "putsch" of last November, which was unsuccess¬ fully engineered by Adolphi Hitler, con¬ fessed in his testimony of Friday to a strong anti-Semitic bias and gave his reasons for his prejudice.
General Ludendorflf said that he had become acquainted - with the "Jewish question", during the war and that he recognizes it as a question of race. An¬ nouncing himself as opposed to all Marxist and Communist elements the former Commander-in-Chief of the Kaiser's armies during the World War made the following statement: "Iti con¬ nection with this is the Jewish question. I made its acquaintance during the war. For me it is a question of race. Little as the Frenchman or Englishman can be permitted to obtain dominion over "us, so little can the Jew be permitted. Free¬ dom of the nation can not be expected from him. Therefore I was against him. The Jew c|aes' not :^nj!ler$taud ,G«rn)an
to abolish Jewish influence."
LiidendorfT also launched an attack against the Pope and the Catholic Oergy because he said they had lately taken the Jews more under their protection. "1 waift a Germany without a predominance of Marxist Jews and Catholics", he ex¬ claimed and attributed his failure of success in the November "putsch" to the mythical Protocols of the Elders of Zion because, he said, Judaism had pitted their universal forces against him.
At the end of his address, which lasted the entire afternoon, General Luden¬ dorff said that this is not the time to discuss the monarchy. The nation does riot exist for the dynasty, but the dy¬ nasty for the nation.
"When Germany finds itself it will have a dynasty ready to serve' it. 1 wish | the German Empire to be strong and free and belong only to Germans", he said.
Another statemen-t made 'by ¦ Luden¬ dorff was to the effect that tfie Jewish race has had a detrimental influence on German psychology and German mor.als. He charged Louis Hagen and other Jews with being responsible for the preseni state of Rhine politics and said that he was attacked by the Jewish press be¬ cause he wanted the Voelkisch move¬ ment to be racial and. anti-Jewish.

NEW YORK (J. T. A.)—If the Democrats nominate Supreme Court Justice Irving H. Lehman for Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals, the Re¬ publicans will also "take" him.
This was the statement made yester¬ day by Republican State Chairman Mor¬ ris following a conference with Na¬ tion Committeeman HUles, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt and other leading Republican party leaders.
Miss - Lula Gavette, of New York City, has already arrived in Columbus to take charge of the vocal department of the Franklin Conservatory of Music, 778 Freinklin Avenue, according to Miss Fannye Schwartz, President.
Miss Gavette has been, teach¬ ing both piano and voice foi: a number of years in New York City and studied with some of the best teachers both in the metropolis and in Baltimore, Md.
She has sung in St. Barthol¬ omew's Church, The Brick Church . and several other churches of New York, also tau([ht in the Conservatory of Musical Art, as assistant to Mr. Leopold Winkler.
WASHINGTON .(J. T. A.)—The census ofi 1800 its u basis for computa¬ tion of hninigratjnn quotas was definitely rejected by the Senate Immigration Cotnmlltco wlilcii opened its hearing on the prnpoK- I clntngcg In the present im- migrntlnn |rtw 'I'luiraday, A fight to rc- Inin the prcAcnt provision for quotas of three per cent was lost, however, and the ametulmcnt to the pending immigra¬ tion bill will providp for two per cent quotas based on the census of 1910.
The vote on the census basis was seven for 1910 and four against, being divided .as follows: For: Chairman Colt,' Sena¬ tors Copeland of New York, Sterling of South Dakota, Johnson of California, Keyes of New Hampshire, Willis of Ohio and King of Utah. Against: Heed of Pennsylvania, Harris of Georgia, Harrison of Mississippi and Shields of Tennessee.
A closer vote was had on the percent¬ age provision, Colt, Copeland, Sterling, Johnson and King losing a hard fought battle to Willis, who introduced the mo¬ tion for two per cent quotas, rallying Harris, Harrison, Shields and Reed to his support.
No decision was reached regarding the exemption of relatives from the quota, this and the remaining features of the bill being referred to a sub-committee, which includes beside Senator Reed, as Chairman, King, Copeland and Colt. This committee will begin its work at once. A general hearing on the bill will be held Saturday, Marcli 8, at lOiSO o'clock. Thus far the committee has re¬ ceived no requests from Jews to appear at the hearing either as individuals or representatives of organizations. -
Prior to the defeat of Senator Harrii Son'Sj motion;to. fix, the'.quotas by tflc;
Kings motion-to-a(fopt-the ISiO figures,' the committee voted on a series of mo¬ tions, each intended, to amend the immi¬ gration measure. Senator Harris pro¬ posed that the bill provide that immigra¬ tion be suspended for five years. This was lost, two to eight with Harris and Harrison the. only, supporters.
A motion by Senator Reed to make'the quota basis 1 per cent of the census figures of 1910 plus 4 per cent of the nationals of any one country shown by the census of 1920 who have completed more than 50 per cent of the steps neces¬ sary to naturalization, was lost, 4 to 7. Those who voted for this motion were Reed, Harris. Harrison and Shields.
Then Senator Harrison offered an amendment to the Reed motion which would make the additional admission 2 per cent instead of 4 percent of semi- naturalized citizens shown by the census of 1920.   This, too, was lost, 4 to T. ¦"
In well informed circles in Washing¬ ton it was stated that it is practically certain that the House of Representa¬ tives will compromise by. also adopting the census of 1910 as a basis for fixing quotas and that the two branches of Congress will ultimately unite on this'. This prediction was given additional weight by a statement made by Senator Colt in which he told of a recent con¬ versation with Chairman Johnson of the House Immigration Committee and the author of the Johnson'. Immigration Bill, who said that his committee's decision in favor of the 1890 provision was taken with "great regret". Senator Colt inti¬ mated that he had received thq impres¬ sion that Congressman Johnson \Vould be ready to compromise.'
It is extremely doubtful that the Sen¬ ate Immigration Committee will be ready to report its ll)ill earlier than three weeks.

Pay Your Subscription to the
Chronicle for the Coming
Year NOW!
WARSAW (J. T. A.).—It is learned that Roman Dmowski, ranking member of the Polish Delegation to the Peace Conference, will succeed Foreign Min¬ ister M. Seyda, whose resignation is expected very soon.
M. Seyda had indicated i some time ago that he wished to be relieved of his office, but Prime Minister Witos pre¬ vailed on him to continue to serve until a desirable sticcessor would be found. |t is understood M. Dmowski has ac¬ cepted Premier Witos' invitation and the change will soon be announced.
The prospective appointment of M. Dmowski is looked on with apprehen¬ sion by Jewish and other minority lead¬ ers because of Dmowski'g outspoken and ultra-Polish nationalism.
