JEWISH WELFARE BOARD IN J. 5.
 ARMY AND NAVY

l The following is an extract of an address delivered by Major General J: Franklin Bell, Commanding Officer , at Camp Upton at a recent dedication of an Ark. under the auspices of the Jewish Welfare Board at Camp Up t, ton:
 We are met today to participate in a religious ceremony, participation in which can do no possible ill to any one. We are not all of the same faith, but we are co-workers and brothers in | the same sacred cause. We find no difficulty in according mutual res pect to the religious observances of each other, regardless of how they may differ in themselves. If I mis- take not, we are making history to- i day, when Jew and Gentle have met i in mutual respect to assist in a re- | ligious ceremony which is of great importance to worshippers of the He brew faith, It is not necessary that we should entertain the same view in essentials of religious faith in or der to justify our participation in this ceremony. It is only necessary that we should have an earnest desire to be liberal-minded and to show kind ly consideration for the convictions of others, regardless of their differ ence from our own to drop any feel; ing of prejudice and be animated by but one desire; to promote the sacred interests of our beloved country. Our spiritual consecration in this sacred | cause Is now too great to admit of thoughts concerning possible differen- ces be they of political or religious origin.
 r. This has already been demonstrated
 on numerous occasions in this Can tonment. It is not probable there ex- ists another church on earth in which
 lew and Gentle, Catholic and Pro-
 testant, have all, in mutual considera- ton and respect, conducted religious activities according to their respective faiths. If anywhere else there have
 occurred religious ceremonies in
 which Catholic, Protestant and He
 brew have united in praising God with
 a common purpose, I am not aware of
 it.
 This has not been a matter of spon-
 taneous or ordinary growth It re-
 quired a great crisis such as we came to face a year ago, to attune the
 hearts of men to sympathetic, gener- ous and liberal impulses, to sincere comradeship, to mature a consumma- ton so devoutly to be wished. Praise
 be to God, we have all been inspired to manifest a kind and friendly spirit
 of emulation in bringing about such mutual respect and sympathy as has chara cterzied all religious activities in thsi camp since it's inception. It Is tendency and a development which conveys to my heart great hope for the future and the greatest degree o1 qualification in the present and 1 sin cerely trust that the kind, tolerant ] considerate atmosphere, born at thi:
 encampment of earnest consideration
 to a sacred cause, may bear fruit
 which will make it's influence felt
 long after the cloud which now dim:
 the entire world with sorrow shal have been dissipated and the sun ot human happiness again begun tt shine.

ALLEGES WIFE

Charles s. Mellen Applies For a Decree to Pittsfield
 Court.

Pittsfeld, Aug. 2.-CharIes S. Mel len, former president of the New Haven road, has filed a petition in the Probate court asking for decree es- tablishing assertion and living apart from Mrs Mellen. Sensational letters addressed to H. Douglas Brown, as sistant manager of the Vanderbilt ho- tel, New York, figure in the case.
 The marital troubles of the Mellens have received airings at different times during the last F months. Rumors of friction came shortly after he left the New Haven road and took up his permanent residence at Stock bridge It has been known that Mrs. Mellen spent little of her time with her family at Stockbridge, but had apartments in New York, MT. Mel len has never denied that there was an arrangement and people who have known the family more Or less inti- mately have expressed their belief that the courts would be appealed to sooner or later,

BIG. WAR LABOR. HOUSING PROJECT
 AT BETHLEHEM

The Department of Labor author izes the following:
 The Bureau of Industrial Housing and Transportation is proposing to build from 1,200 to 1,500 houses at Bethlehem, Pa. A tract of land about 300 acres in extent has been acquir- ed on the outskirts of the city just across the river from the plant of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation.
 Because of the large size of this development it is impossible to To- cate it nearer the city. It was there fore necessary to provide, in addt- tion to the houses, certain commun- ity facilities, such as stores, moving picture theatre, and recreation building. It was also necessary to supplement the existing school facil- ities. This will probably be done by an arrangement with the city author ities.
 The contract was awarded about 10 days ago for the construction of sewers, water supply, electric light, sidewalks, streets, etc. The contrac- tor now has large force at work.
 The houses are generally grouped in rows of from four to six The lots on which they are to be built average about 40 by 100 feet. The construction will be of brick beca use that is the most available, building material in the region: The United States Housing Corporation has been advised by the War Industries Board on this account to use bricx. which can be brought on trucks to the building site, thereby avoiding any further burden on railroad facilities.
 The houses will contain five and six rooms and in some cases will have large attics in which one or two oth- CT rooms might be added. Enough variation in type to avoid monotony has been planned;
 In addition to these houses the cor peratien proposes te build a mems club in South Bethlehem immediate ly adjacent to the Bethlehem Steel Corporation plant. This club will be provided with billiard rooms. bow ling alleys, assembly hall, and other recreatienal facilities. The need for this arises frem the fact that that section of the city is entirely with out recreatiena1 opportunities, other than those furnished by the corner saloon. The Government club is de- signed to compete with these and was especially asked for by Army repre- sentatives
 The Ordnance Department is build- ing a temporary dormitory to house 1000 men in another section of Beth lehem.
 The need of the Government houses in Bethlehem is very acute. There are in storage now 1000 sets of household furniture. This furni- ture is not being used because no | houses are available. In many cases | the men and their families have left 1 the city because they found no place | in which to live.
