HEBREWS USING
 NEW SYNAGOGUE
First Service Sunday, Sept. 1st,
 Preceded By Parade
Rev Lemonovitz Compliments Con
 gregation on Support Given

The Hebrews of Putnam have seen their hopes realized. Sunday, Sept. 1st, they held their first service in the new synagogue on Elm street. It was a happy gathering under the roof fo the new and permanent place of worship that has at last been realized. The congregation numbers between 150 and 200 souls, and heretofore it has been obliged to hold religious ob- servanees in whatever hall it might be possible to get and in the homes of members.
 Preceding the service a week ago last Sunday there was a procession. The line formed at the Synagogue and headed by Rev. Lemonovitz and with a prettily decorated automobile in the line preceded through Bridge street to Church street, to Providence street, to Elm street and down Elm street to the Synagogue.
 The service was somewhat patriotic in its nature. The American flag and the flag of Zion was saluted Rev. Lemonovitz gave a fine address dur ing which he took occasion to con graduate the congregation on having attained the end, and praised the members for the hearty and generous support given, which made the new synagogue a possibility. Special men tion was made of boys in service both over seas and in camps in this coun- try. It is expected that considerable war work will be accomplished, some of which is already under way.
 Regular meetings will be held every Sunday. On other holidays and relig- ious days services will also be held. Last Saturday and Sunday services were held in observance of the He brew New Year and next Monday ser vices in recognition of the Day of Atonement will be held.
 There will be further dedication i of the new Synagogue in the near fu- ture, when an, American flag and probably a service flag will be raised on the building. The Synagogue has been newly shingled and repaired and further work is to be done both on the exterior and in the interior.
 It was at first planned to build a structure, but when it was discovered that the Pentacostal church, opposide Bridge street on Elm street. could be bought, arrangements were made and it was purchased
 Rev. Lemonovitz, who came from Cambridge, Mass, nearly two years ago, early realized that one of the greatest needs of his people in Put nam was a permanent place of wor- ship, and he early set about stirring up e husiasm. He met generous respc4se rom the people, and sub star4;al amount of money was soon pledged.
 The Sons of Zion, Hebrew organ ization, took hold of the movement and it was carried through. The off cers of this organization are: Presi- dent. Samuel Smith; vice president = iris Bantit; treasurer, Philip Zal- tas.
 Among the building committee were: s. Diamond, chairman; Samu- el Smith. Max Cohen, S. Kaminsky, P. zaltas, A Sandlovitz, and A. Lavine.

MACHINE LANDED

He Was Attacked While Re-
turning from Patrol
Fight

Paris, July l7.--Lieutenant Quentin
Roosevelt, youngest son of the former
president, has been killed in an air fight,
the semi official Hayas agency announces.
His machine fell into the enemy lines.
Lieutenant Roosevelt was last seen in
combat on Sunday morning with two
enemy airplanes about 10 miles inside
the German lines in the Chateau Thierry
sector. He started out with patrol of
Is American machines. They encoun-
tered seven Germans and were chasing
them back when two of them turned on
Lieutenant Roosevelt.
Reports of the fight say the Germans
appeared to be shooting at the lieuten-
ant from the rear The three machines
were close together. Then one of the
machines was seen tumbling through the
clouds and patrol which went in search
of Lieutenant Roosevelt returned with
out trace Of him. He appeared to be
fighting up to the last moment.
One account of the combat SAYS the
machine caught FIRE before it began to
fall.
Philip Roosevelt, Quentin's cousin, wit
messed the air battle in the vicinity of
Chateau Thierry, in which Quentin was
engaged, and saw the machine fall, but
did not know until later that the air

WILL IGNORE
AUSTRIAN NOTE
United States Government
Doubts Sincerity of
It's Tone
1T WAS PROBABLY
PLANNED BY GERMANS
To Open the Way for Peace
Negotiations After the
Hoped-For Victory

Washington, D. c., July l7.-There is
only one opinion in official circles here as
to the note addressed by Baron Won Bur
ian, the Austro- Hungarian foreign min
ister, to the Austrian and Hungarian
premiers on the subject of peace. That
is that this evidently carefully framed
communication was designed to prepare
the way for peace negotiations imme-
diately upon the hoped-for successful
conclusion of the present great German
drive against the entente forces along
the Marne and east of Rheims.
Baron Burian's attempt is designated
as the Austrian association of the right
Of elf-regeneration of small nations, and
il is gathered from reading between the
lines of his note that he is quite willing
that this principle of self Regeneration
should be applied to the peoples in en-
tente countries, but reserve TO the Aus
trian and German governments the right
TO absolute control of the subjugated ma
tions within their borders. In this he
follows the principle laid down by the
Germans who negotiated the Brest-Li-
tovsk treaty, whereby Russia was torn
to pieces.
It is believed for the present at least
this last note will not elicit any formal
response from the allies of America.

Reports from the battlefield show the
Germans during the past night made
progress in two sectors of the front
South of the Marine they attacked the
positions on the heights commanding the
river crossings, taken by the French in
their counterattac on Tuesday. The
French reached the Bourdonnerie and
Clos Milon farms, north of st. Agnar
and La Chapelle- -Monthodon, but there
they encountered fresh enemy troops who
appear to have again forced them back
The battle is continuing on the slopes
and in the woods south of the heights.

To-day's report tells of violent fighting
in the Courton wood, but does not tell OF
the result Of the struggle there. The point
in this wood where the combat is taking
place is not known, but conceding that

area of forest land, he has advanced
about four and one-half miles from Fere

the location of the line on Sunday. Here
and further west in Rodemat wood the
Germans are making the steadiest and
most threatening gains, pushing south
east toward Epernay, which lies south
of Rheims.
Nearer Rheims the Germans have beer
