ASK LEGISLATION TO BARE FILES IN
 PACKERS PROBE

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Special and speedy legislation to Jay bare the con- fdential files of the great meat pack CTS and disclose what government in vestigators believe will show plans to take complete control of the meat in- dustry, was asked of congress today of the federal trade commission.
 On recommendation of Francis J. Heney, special counsel conducting the commissions investigation, who has been restrained by court orders from taking further papers and from using those already seized by his agents, the commission laid the facts before congress and asked for action
 Charging that Henry Veeder, coun- sel for the packers, still is the custo- dian of many papers which have been used as instrumentalities in the com mission of felonies," Mir. Heney asked for supplement to the espionage law l to facilitate the governments inquiry | into the industry.
 After Federal Judge Landis of Chi cago had issued a search warrant au. | thorizing the seizure of important documents in the possession of Mir. Veeder, the federal circuit court oi appeals restrained a marshal from re- moving or examining any of the pa pers in Veeder's vault and further from examining or in any way using papers already seized by the govern ] ment. Specifically MT. Heney asked that | Congress amend or supplement the espionage law so that the decision ot a judge who issues a search warrant shall be conclusive upon the question of the existence Of probable cause
 and that a summary proceeding al ready provided by the statute for the determination of the question ot whether the property seized under the writ was used for the commission o1
 felony shall likewise be- conclusive for the purpose only of enabling the
 court to retain such property in the custody of the law until the purpaose
 of it's seizure shall have been served
 The action of the appellate court il issuing the stay, said MT. Heney, pre-. vented the government from even ex amining papers already in it's posses
 sion and which a federal distric
 court had found had been used "a'
 the means of committing felonies b!

The Belgian Information Bureau reports:
 When the town of Roulers was evacuated some civilians, among them a certain number of women, unable to resign themselves to leaving the city and abandoning their homes, hid themselves until the last train had gone.

rected to religious instruction and
worship. AS you know, the service
in Catholic churches is conducted
largely in Latin, the mass, the most
solemn part of the service, being ex-
clusively in Latin. In the Orthodox
synagogs the services are conducted
exclusively in Hebrew. Instruction
in Hebrew is part Of the education
of every child which is brought up
strictly within the traditions of Ju-
daism. This instruction is given in
private schools at the expense of the
parents or of philanthropic societies.
It cannot be impaired with English
as the only medium of communica-
ton. Taking your proclamation lit
orally, these schools would have to
be closed and these children would
be deprived Of religious instruction
which their parents deem essential"

SISTERHOOD ART CALENDAR
life OF DAVID"

The Life of David" Art Calendar
for 5679 is the contribution of the
National Federation of Temple
Sisterloods to the art publications
of the year. Four carefully selected
illustrations and an attractive Calen-
dar pad comprise this beautiful Calen
dar in which the greatest artists of
the Dutch, Flemish, Italian and Rus
sian schools are represented.
The first picture, the Rubens'
king David" most happily COM
bines David's kingly characteristic
of majestic grandeur with the fer
vent mysticism of the dreamer. Adj
mirable, indeed, is the conception of
the artist, which causes the king to
turn from his pornp and seek in
spiration in the harp which is dimly
indicated in the picture. In subject
matter this painting is portrayal
of DAVID THE KING but strong
er than any actual portrayal and
dominating the work of art in spirit
ual significance is the pervasive
suggestion of DAVID THE
PSALMIST. Striking in execution
and original in conception, Ruben's
king David" ranks deservedly as
one of the worlds masterpieces.
The second picture is an excellent
reproduction of Miche1angelo's
"David." The artist portrays David
in his early manhood, armed with
the sling and the stone which are
to subdue the giant Goliath. Here
the sculptor has created a youth of
such magnificent poise and virile
strength that the outcome Of his en-
counter with the Philistine is in
dubitab1e This work of art unites
the beauty and grace of the antique
with the naturalistic force which
characterizes most of Michelangelo's
work, and in its perfection of detail
has served as a model for other
artists throughout the centuries.
In Israe1s' "David Before Saul"

expression of the genius of the great
Dutch painter. This painting is said
to represent in the world of paint
ing what Browning's "Saup' signi-
fes in the world of letters. Israefs
depicts David as a gentle poet, al
ready envisaging the dreams which
were to receive such exalted express
sion in the Psalms. The figure of
Saul, however, strikes the compell-
ing note in the painting. Tortured,
restless, filled with forebodings, he
seeks alienation of his sufferings in
contemplating the purity Of the
youthful soul unfolding itself before
him. This painting is unrivalled for
simplicity and grandeur. It is con-
ceived by a great Jewish artist with
the breadth Of. conviction and
sympathetic insight which char
acterize the Jew.
"David and Goliath" by Repin is
distinguished primarily for it's pic
torial quality. In the realistic
treatment of this phase of David's
life, Repin has succeeded in catch
ing the young hero at the dramatic
moment when he is actually con-
fronted by the Philistine giant. The
figure of David is purposeful and
resolute, contrasting noticeably with
the jeering, scofing abandon Of the
british Goliath. Interesting also,
although of minor Importance, is the
figure of the old Philistine. Bent
and crippled, he turns with senile
leer, fawning upon his champion
and joining Goliath in contemptuous
derision of his youthful opponent.
This picture is both orr ginal in con-
ception and striking in technique. 1t
substantiates convincingly the claim
of the art critics that Repin is one
of the most brilliant opponents of
the modern Russian school.

LOUIS MARSHALL CLAIMS
PROCLAMATION OF IOWA
GOVERNOR UNCONSTITU-
TIONAL.
Order Relates to Exclusive Use of
English in Public Places.

English in Public Places.
Mr.. Louis Marshall, president of
the American Jewish Committee,
has addressed a letter to Governor
Harding of Iowa, claiming that his
proclamation of May %, 1918, or
dering that all other languages than
English be barred from use in pub
lie places, including synagogs,
churches and schools, is unconstitu-
tional. He says in part:
"You concede freedom of speech
is guaranteed by the Federal and
State Constitutions. You seem to
intimate that the speech the freedom
of which is thus guaranteed must
be in the English language. There
certainly is nothing in the Constitu-
ton which makes such a qualihca
ton, nor is there anything in the
practice in any of the states of the
Union which warrants such an in
depreciation. If freedom of speech
is dependent upon the use of the
English language, then the freedom
of the press must likewise be so
dependent. Until there is an amend
ment to our Constitution it certain
ly does not lie within the power of
any of the branches of Our govern
ment to limit oral, written or print
ed speech to a single language.
There are millions of good citi-
zens who can neither speak nor read
the English language. To say moth
ing of the illiterates, there is vast
number of intelligent men and wom-
en- who cannot do so. 1t is for that
reason that the foreign language
press has proven to be most val
liable medium of AUGMENTATION.
I can speak with personal familiar
ity with newspapers published in
half a dozen languages and can as
sure you that they afford better in
struction in American institutions
than does the average newspaper
published in the English language.
I have seen in them, published in
serial form, the history of the Unit
ed States, the Constitution of the
United States and articles dealing
most enthusiastically with American
ideals. The French, Italian and
Yiddish press, at this very moment,
is most effective in it's advocacy of
the cause of America and the Allies
and, in it's opposition to Germanism,
and I can also add that an over
whelming majority of the German
newspapers of this country, what
ever their sympathies may have
been before America entered into
