Hebrew Festival This Year
Has Particular Significance
in Connection With
Chanuka, the Hebrew festival of
' light, which began v Thunday
night, will be celebrated for eight
day by Jewish soldiers and tailors
overseas, at cantonments, naval
oases, on shipboard and in Jewish
community centers throughout the
country, as a celebration not only
for the victory of the Maccabeans
, 2,000 years ago, but as a thanksgiv
ing for the triumph of America and
her allies. Under the auspices of
thS Jewish Welfare board, it was
announced today, unique celebra
tions will be held wherever groups
of Jewish soldiers and sailors ccn
tgregate. Religious services, includ
ing the lighting of Chanuka candles,
song festivals, holiday feasts, enter
tainments and dances are among the
features that will be carried out.
Slides and motion pictures, telling
,the story of Chanuka, will be shown
at various cantonments. At Camp
Mills, Camp Bowie, Camp Logan,
Camp Merrit and Pelham Bay Naval
' Training station, and other canton
ments, Jewish Welfare board huts
were dedicated yesterday with
joint Chanuka and Thanksgiving
celebration.
Victory of Maccabeans.
. The festival of Chanuka commem
orates the victory of the Macca
beans over King Antiochus, the op
pressor of the Jews and the pro
tagonist of Syrian kultur 2,100
years ago. Chanuka this year as
sumes a peculiar significance. Be
ginning on Thanksgiving eve, it falls
tt a time when the world is rejoic
ing in the coming of peace, and
It also marks the first anniversary
, of the recapture of Jerusalem by
General Allenby at the bead of the
British armies. Consequently, this
year it is an occasion for great re
joicing among the Jewj in every
country who have been ardent sup
porters of the allied cause.
, The Chanuka candles, which will
be lighted in'Jewish Welfare board
huts and community centers, trace
their origin to a flask of sacred oil
that burned for eight days, which
the victorious' Maccabeans found
when they re-entered the temple
in Jerusalem after driving out the
Syrians. A
Rock Cliff Waterfall
i Memorial for Omaha's
' ! Soldier Dead Proposed
:; City Commissioner Towl has a
novel idea for a monument to Oma
ha soldiers who died in the great
war. It is a roeky cliff, to-be con
structed in Elmwood or some other
park, with a waterfall dashing down
Over -
I Rocky cliffs are unknown around
Omaha but Mr. Towl proposes to
make some, out of reinforced con
crete. He saw such a cliff up in
Minneapolis recently with rocks in
it that looked as though they
weighed 20 tons. They were hol
low, built of concrete.
; "Such a memorial would be more
' interesting and more enjoyable than
just a dead marbie monument in
the court house square," said Mr.
Towl. "We could put the names of
the boys on a tablet on such a mem
orial just as well as on a marble
shaft and everybody could enjoy it
as a bit of pretty scenery as well."

Mayor Gives Reason for
Not Holding Celebration
Mayor Smith received a telegram
from the National Britain day com

Omaha has not signified its inten

war. The mayor replied that it is
the sense of this city that there
should be no celebration of any
particular nation's part in this war.
"There is glory enough for all," he
said. It is stated that 1.500 cities
and towns in the United States will
hold celebrations. t
