PHOTOGRAPH OF HOLDER
Additional Precautions Taken to
Safeguard Records at State, War
and Navy Building.

Additional precautions have been
taken for safeguarding the records and
archives of the government in the
State, War and Navy building. These
are supplementary to the former regu-
lations limiting admission to bearers or
passes and the employment of armed
members of the LIST Separate Battalion
of the District National Guard as es-
corts to visitors passed by the watch
men at the main entrance. 1t now has
been decided that every pass to the
building shall contain the photograph
of the person to whom it was issued.
That requirement applies to every OH
cial and employee of the State, War and
Navy departments and to all newspaper
men desiring admission to those depart
ments The same system already OBJ
tains at the Washington navy yard and
has been found to work well.
In order to facilitate the business of
visitors to the building an official rep
resenting each department has been
placed in charge of separate bureau
of information, located in the corridor
at the main entrance. and viii en-
deavor to transact by telephone the

cial at his desk If the business can
not be transacted by telephone in that
way, and is of sufficient Importance to
Justify it. the visitor will be escorted

away with personal visits on business
matters so far as possible.

Desire to Show Patriotism.

Mr.. Brooke stated that the artists de-
sired to demonstrate their patriotic
zeal in a way that would represent
some personal labor, that would give
their art a place in service and that
would be of most effective support to
the authorized relief agency, the Red
Cross.
The executive committee of the Arts
Society has offered to relieve the
finance committee of the task of selling
these paintings. The entire gift will be
displayed in the Fairfax room of the
New Willard Hotel from April 80 to
May 5, and no admission charge will be
made. Aery cent received will be paid
to the patriots fund.
In accepting this generous gift Mr.
mcfarland stated for the finance com
mittee that this exhibition and sale
should not be considered in any sense
a benefit performance, since the finance
committee has postponed any sort of
benefit Indefinitely. Such affairs, he
said. will not be authorized by the Red
Cross until it becomes necessary. At
benefits, he pointed out. admission fees
are charged and only part of the re-
ceipts go to the Red Cross In this
case no fee for admission is charged.
and the entire proceeds from the sale
go to the Red Cross fund.

Appeal is made for the immediate estab-
lishment of ten large civic centers in
Washington for Red Cross work These
ten sections of the city have been mapped
off by Mrs. T, w. Richards who has
charge of the distribution of all Red Cross
work. 1t is necessary that entire houses
or large halls in each section of the city
be contributed for this work. and that
they shall be used as civic center head
quarters for all groups or units of workers
in those sections of the city
Several churches have been offered for
this work. The District chapter head

work strictly non-sectarian and that the
civic centers should be in a place where

Minister Rappard of the Netherlands

nothing be done by the United States
to curtail shipment of commodities and
food necessary for Dutch national de-
Tense and the maintenance of the civil

largely upon the United States.
Food exports, 1t became known today,

ures that attended the first preaching
of the gospel. The text gives us in
sharp outline one characteristic of
the evangelist that may be sugges.
tive and helpful to us. He was devOt-
ed and faithful. The great apostle
had come very near to the end OF
his earthly labOrs. Rome was his
prison as we'll as the pulpit from
which tie would preach Christ and
Him crucifed to a sin sick and weary
world. And all of his following had
left save Luke alone. Demas had
gone and so had Crescene, and so had
Titus. Alone he was witnessing the
cause of the Holy One, even in Gaze
sar's household. What comfort and
help to the aged apostle Luke's pres
ence and sympathy and help and 10y
atty must have been. Who can tell
how much Of St. Paul's own fidelity
and courage was due to the silent, low.

strange experience in Gethsemane
cried out with breaking heart to his
apostles. What, could we not watch
with me one hour" What an hour!
What an opportunity! Never again
could they be so near to the Master as
they might have been in his agony.
Are we Christians in earnest about
our religion? Can it possibly mean
much to US when we are so careless
in the exercise of It? We hear a
great deal about fidelity as virtue
these days. Men everywhere ore de-
handing a devoted and loyal service
to our country Not service when
it is convenient and perhaps gives
pleasure But service OF sacrifice.
