FEW SAW ECLIPSE

Only those who were out very early
yesterday morning were able to wit
ness the total eclipse of the moon
which occurred at that time. The
eclipse was very defined although
somewhat hidden by clouds. An eclipse
forms one Of the most interesting
phenomena Of the sky and this year
there will be the greatest number pos
sible, seven. The next eclipse will be
on January 20. 1t will be of the sun
but will not be visible in this section
Of the globe. Not since 1887 has the
same occurred in one year and the
number will not again be seen until
1882.

HOPE TO RAISE MILLION
FOR ARMY Welfare WORK
Jewish Board to Begin Campaign in
Next Few Weeks-Support
From Gentiles Desired.

The Jewish board for welfare work in
the United States Army and Navy is
to be the beneficiary of a million dol
lar fund. a campaign to raise which
within the next few weeks has been
started among all the Jews Of Amer
lea. 1t Will be expended in welfare
work, not only at American canton
ments. but along the French front in
France.
This agency. like the Y. NJ. c. A.. the
Knights OF Columbus and the commits
sion of training camp activities itself.
intends to perform its work on non
sectarian basis, according to Col Har-
rv Cutler, chairman of the board. 1t
will not overlap nor duplicate. but Will
simply join in with and enhance the
work of promoting the moral, spiritual
and mental well being. not only of the
$4,000 Jews in the National Army, but
Of all soldiers of that army. Therefore
the board hopes to receive financial
support from non-JeWs as well as
those of that faith.

with their clean -shaven faces ard their

their drinks they quietly gaze at the
passers-by. who also glance at them
and remark on their smart appearance
without the slightest suspicion that
their French neighbor is likely to over
hear them and to start the converse
ton. one OF the American soldiers
quietly says: Nice day today"
The brave Frenchman, however,
thinking that these soldiers are allud-
ing TO his habit Of dipping his bread IL
his coffee. turns round and says, In his
native tongue. Yes. like the kiddies.'
The soldiers. smiling as usual. thinkins
that they. in their turn. had understood
the Frenchmans exclamation, said
Yes"
Following which both parties rose
from their seats and each went its way
under the impression that the Englisl
and French languages are not, after
all. SO hard to understand.

ZURICH, Switzerland. October -
Vienna dispatches complain because the
German reich shank has put q prohi-
bition upon the payment in marks un-
til twelve months after peace is de-
clared for sales of Austro- Hungarian
securities in Germany unless they are
sold in payment for goods. This action
is the result Of the German effort to
prevent the lowering of exchange
through the payment in marks by the
Austrians for foreign purchases, espe-
cially in Switzerland
The T'rankfurter Zeitung complains
that even recently Vienna bought in
Geneva with German exchange large
quantities of Austrian securities held
by the French. 1t also charges the
Austrians with buying French dia :
monds with German marks. This forced
the adoption Of the new rules referred
to. AS A result of the Austro- Hunga arian
protest. the reichsbank sent commits
sioners to Vienna to try to reach an
amicable understanding.

manded, says the Frankfurter Zeitune,
