CUTLER TELLS OF
JEWISH WELFARE
WORKJN ARMY
'hairman of National Board
in Omaha Says Elaborate
Plans Are Being Carried
Out at Camps.
Colonel Harry Cutler of Provi
dence, R. I., chairman of the Jewish
Board for "Welfare in the United
States Army and Navy, spent Monday
'ii Omaha. This, board was named by
Raymond Fosdick and the secretary
of war to function for soldiers and
sailors of the Jewish faith in the same
manner that the Young Men's Christ
ian Association and the Knights of
Columlus do for men of Protestant
and Catholic beliefs.
Work of the board is carried on
within ramps and cantonments and in
cities neighboring military posts as
well.. Where possible through co
operation with Young Men's Christ
ian Association huts and the use of
post auditoriums, religious services
and other activities are carried on
without recourse to building separate
shacks. In cantonments contain
ing a large percentage of Jewish
soldiers, as at Camp Upton. Yaphank,
Long Island where there are 12,000 or
25 per cent Jewish soldiers, head
quarters for the Welfare Board have
been erected.. Similar shacks have
gone up at Camp Devens, Ayer, Mass.
and at Camp Meade, near Baltimore.
Chaplains have ! also been author
ized through this organization. By
the new provision calling for 'the
appointment of a chaplain for each
1,200 men in the army, many more
will be named. Rabbis are mustered
into service to conduct services
regularly in posts where no organ
ization through this bgency has yet
been effected. I
A training school for the, 200
workers required by the Welfare
Board is now being conducted in
New York. Twelve thousand soldiers
of Jewish faith are now with Persh
ing in France, according to Colonel
Cutler.
Jacob Schiff is one of the large con
tributors to the fund $1,000,000 of
which was raised in New York City.
An additional $3,000,000 or $4,000,000
will be raised through the ronntrv I
Colonel Cutler is a friend of Rabbi 1
Frederick Cohn, whom he knew in
Providence.
Alliance Business Men Cited
To Appear Before Wattles
O'Bannon Bros, of Alliance, Neb.,
have been cited by Food Administra
tor Wattles to appear before him at
10 oclock February 1 to show cause
why they should not be prosecuted
for dealing in foodstuffs without a li
cense. This company has been handling
potatoes in carload lots, it is alleged,
and the food administrator has no
record of their having a license.
The citing of the O'Bannon Bros,
to appearance followed closely upon
receipt by Mr. Wattles of an order
from the federal food administrator
to investigate rigidly all failures to
take out a food license in Nebraska.
The penalty for the offense is a
fine of $2,000 or imprisonment, or
both. - '

about what it should be'at this season

"Architecture is the natural and
noble expression of society and ot
of the individual." This statement
might be said to be the .keynote of
the lecture given by Ralph Adams
Cram, F. A. I. A., of Boston, who
lectured before the members of the
Omaha Society of Fine Arts at tlie
Fontenelle hotel Monday afternoon.
Mr. Cram gave a complete resume
of architecture through the ages. The
cathedral at Rheims, now in ruins,
was given as an example of the most
perfect type of Christian architecture,
while the Greek Pantheon was cited
as the perfect type of the Greek architecture.
The Boston firm of architects, of
which Mr. Cram is 2 member, is noted
for its work in. restoring Gothic as
a vital contemporary style and it
was on this work that Mr. Cram talk
ed for the greater part of the lecture.
It was a far cry from dull blue prints
and draftsman's tools to the wonder
ful works of prehistoric man which
the Boston architect illustrated with
stereopticon slides.
Not until all artists, sculptors,
musicians, architects, goldsmiths, and
arts and crafts workers can combine
and work together, thus making a per
fect whole, can we realize a truly, per
fect age as far as art is concerned,
stated the lecturer.
