BLIND RABBI-HERO HONORED A blind Rabbi, a victim of the. recent world war, will be the center of attraction at the formal opening of the first annual convention of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War to be held .in Detroit, Michigan, next Monday. Of him a recent report of the Associated Press said: He is Michael Aaronson, rabbi and student of the Hebrew Union college, Cincinnati, who as chaplain of the Disabled American Veterans ^ will deliver the invocation at the first day's session of the veterans. ; Rabbi Aaronson at the outbreak of the war enlisted and served in the 147tfc; infantry. Both his eyes were blown out- wEea in the capture of Montfaucon m the ArgoiUie he was struck by a shell as he was bringing back wounded American soldiers. ? . .• In this Michigan city within a stohe*s throw of the great Ford industries; within a short wafe of the home of Henry Ford, the seat of anti-semitism,; this veteran of the war, who sacrificed, light for darkness "so that >this nation might. live" will deliver to ; his suffering, battle-stricken "buddies"—Jew and Gentile alike—a message of hope, brotherly love, and good-will. Why the veterans picked Detroit as their first meeting place is not.known. Some say these crippled heroes want to drive home to Henry Ford and his slacker-son, Edsel, the real message of the war. Edsel claimed exemption on the grounds that he was a necessity in his father's factory. In a recent issue of his libel-sheet, Ford said that the Jews did not do their duty in the recent war. When the convention opens let Ford ana his ilk count the Jews among the disabled ones. ? Governor Grosebeck of Michigan and ^Mayor Couzins of Detroit, both opposed to the propaganda of Ford, wiir address the veterans. Ford did not receive an invitation! -.

Chicago, III,, June 22.—During the past year the Anti-Defamation League has distributed among educators, public officials, clergymen, publicists and public libraries, nearly. 300,000 pieces of literature in which the nefarious activities of anti-Semetic agencies in this country have been exposed and the charges which they have made, conclusively answered. Their international character of the attacks has made it necessary to establish branches of the league in other countries. •' Since July 1, 1920, the governing board of the league has held fortysix'meetings in Chicago. In addition to the.B'nai B'rith, the following organizations were represented at these Stores of Iowa -City Close Doors Dur.meetings: Council of Jewish Women, said, 'I am sorry that more parents ing Funeral of Leader in Jewruled, but the undertaking' had once Central Conference of American Rabare not here," said Dr. Sher, presiish Activities. been made and could sot be denied if bis.
