KOUNTZE CHOIR IS
'CUT' AT FT; OMAHA
Commander at Post Orders En
gagement and Address by
Pastor Baltzly Be Cancelled.
By order of the commanding offi
cer at Fort Omaha arrangements for
Dr. O. D. Baltzly, pastor of Kountze
Memorial Lutheran church, to address
the soldiers at the fort Friday night
was cancelled.
Kountze Memorial choir was
scheduled to give a program of sacred
music. This also was canceled. Major
H. B. Hersey is in command at Fort
Qmaha.
Singers from other churches sub
stituted for the Kountze Memorial
choir and no speaker substituted for
Dr. Baltzly.
Dr. Baltzly has been criticised for
stating last spring that "this is Wil
son's war." It is understood that this
was the reason why he was not per
mitted to speak. Major Hersey could
not be seen last night.
"Arrangements for myself and my
choir to take part last night were
made, through the Omaha Church
federation, v'hich had charge of the
series of Friday night meetings at the
post," Dr. Baltzly told The Bee.
"They'asked tts to participate in the
meeting and afterward told us that
the arrangements had been cancelled.
Other than that I know nothing of
the affair."
Glad to Serve Country.
'"You can say for me," Dr. Baltzly
added, "that we should have been glad
to serve our country in providing an
evening's entertainment for our sol
diers at the fort.
"Ve arc always ready in Kountze
Memorial to do our full part wherever
we can and may."
C. S. ' Holcomb, secretary of , the
Young Men's Christian association at
Fort Omaha, said that sectarianism is
not in any way permitted fo enter
into the meetings at the fort con
ducted under the auspices of the or
ganization, "In view of what has transpired
and because these meetings can not
be thrown open to any sect or de
nomination the officer in command at
the fort deemed it wise to cancel the
arrangement for the Kountze Me
morial minister and choir to conduct
the meeting," he said. "No specific
reasons were given, but it is apparent
that-this must have been the cause.
"Should denominational addresses
be permitted it would only be fair to
allow allv churches in the city to be
represented. In view of the number
of thurches in Omaha this is clearly
impossible."
The cancelling of the engagement
of the Kountze Alemorial representa
tives is the latest developmnet in the
controversy that has already split the
union of church choirs in Omaha and
brought about the cancellation of the
Reformation cantata that was to have
been sung at the city auditorium.
Only a short time ago several
church choirs announced that "for pa
triotic reasons" they would not assist
in the cantata that was to have cele
brated the four hundredth anniver
sary of the Reformation. The Kountze
Memorial choir was in charge of the
proposed cantata. As a result of the
refusal of the other cliolrs to join in
the entertainment the project was
dropped.

The Fitting of
Misses' Corsets
TtaE matter of fitting a corset
to a young girl is not a
matter of ner years, but of her
individual figure when she is
graduating from a soft little
waist of girlhood to the firmer
support of corset; that is when
her fitting should have all the
intelligence and skill that can
be found, the permanent lines
of the mature woman are then
forming and they should be
guided easily and naturally to
health, poise and grace.
Our fitters realize these
points keenly and the care and
thought and attention given to
a girl's first corset makes our
service almost invaluable.
Special attention given to
