LOANS REPAID
"Dr. Perry" Who Borrowed
from Omaha Men, Said
to Be Living in

Here is a chance for Columbia
university alumni in Omaha who
have been unfortunate enough to
meet the affable "Dr. Perry" and
make him a personal loan, to get
their money back-maybe.
According to this months issue
of the Columbia Alumni News, they
haye located Or. Perry" an aged
aristocratic appearing alumnus of
that university who has travelled all
over the United States, making it a
practice to locate former students of
that school and secure small loans of

Henry L. Norris, superintendent
of buildings of Columbia university
says:
"Dr. Perry's address is Cor was)
l29 West Ninetieth Street, and it
might be advisable to request all of
his victims, through the Alumni
News, to communicate with him as
to their loans. 1t seems that Perry
it habitual borrower, but has been
cagey enough to keep within the
letter of the law throughout his en-
tire operations. He has apparently
confined himself to small loans and
has in every case given his own
name. | do not think, however. that
he will continue his line of graft for
some time to come"
at is very evident that DR.. Perry
has had we'll thought-out method
Of approaching graduates of the uni
versity, and that he has worked it
to a fare-you- we'll without seeming
to realize that he has been Swallowed
and that the alumni in general have
been warned against his activities. 1t
is requested that any alumni who
have loaned him money notify the
Alumni office, as he promised and
swore that he would return any
money that he borrowed from any of
the graduates if a list was furnished
him. If, in the future. any alumni
are approached by Or. Perry" on

wishes to be notified Immediately

HUNS FULFILL
ARMISTICE IN
THEIR RETREAT
Lieut.. Fred Heyn Tells of I'm
menSe Amounts of War
Materials Abandoned
by German Army.

Germans automatically fulfilled
terms of the armistice dealing with
giving up ammunition and guns in
their retreat through France and
Belgium, according to letter writ
ten by Lieut.. Fred Heyn, brother
of Lester and Jerome Heyn.
The amount of abandoned Ger
man material is simply stupendous
and | have seen only a little of it.
Heavy howitzers, 7-millimeter field
pieces, long-range, high-angle guns,
anti-aircraft guns, caissons, limbers
and tractors which accompany such
ordnance, line every road and arc
parked in fields all over the country
Millions of rounds of ammunition
of all sorts, in amounts impossible
to imagine were left in the district
of Montmedy," he wrote.
Little Damage at Stenay.
Young Heyn wrote there was lit
tie in the country from Dun to Ste
nay. through which he passed late
in November, to indicate the terri
tory had been fought over two
weeks before except for the roads
and fields showing evidence of ar
tlllery fire, an occasional ruined
building. dead horses and wrecked
artillery material.
after coming from those terrible
churned-up fields about Nerdun and
in the Argonne, the amount of DAM
age here seemed trivial. OF course.
the only reason the upper Meuse
country is not totally destroyed is
simply that the Germans were in
too much of hurry to save them
selves to bother with destroying
what they passed"
French People Game.
Lieutenant Heyn wrote at great
length of the indignities the civilian
population in the recaptured towns
told of having endured in the four
years of German occupation. No
payment was made to the French
for bllleting German officers who
ruined homes, despoiled them of
personal belongings of the owners
and shipped everything valuable
home to Germany.

First Glass Started in 1856 by B. H. Chapman Met in
City Council Chamber; Sumptuous Quarters Now
Used With Every Convenience to Aid
Younger Minds Absorb knowledge

While Omaha ranks high in bank
clearings and commercial enter
prises, it is careful that in the world
march of progress its religious side
of life is not neglected. 1t has a
system of churches and Sunday
schools which is excelled by few Of
even the much largest cities.
Omaha has more than 200 Sunday
schools with combined enrollmcn,
of nearly $4,000. The classes are
taught by trained instructors and
their work is systematized and
graded. The lessons and methods
of teaching are adapted to the intelli-
gence of the pupil. Many of the
Omaha schools use the international
syste.. which provides the lesson for
each week graded to suit ali classes.
This unifies the work of the school
during a single day and makes il
easier for the superintendent to pro-
vide for substitute teachers.
Largest in West.
Omaha boasts of the largest and
best instructed religious schools in
this part of the country. The ne"
First Presbyterian Sunday school
has the most modern quarters i'll
the city, while the Kountze Me-
mortal school is by far the largest,
having an enrolment of $50. The
first Baptist church is proud to have
the oldest class IN the city taught for
the last 26 years by John R. Web
ster
Omaha's first Sunday school class
was formed in the winter of 1855
1856 by B. H. Chapman. 1t had but
a score of members and represented
nearly all of the protestant denom-
nations. The class met in the city
council chamber. In 1856 the "old
form" Presbyterian church organized
a Sunday school class of IS men,
bers. In 1861 under the superin-
tendency of ]. H. Kellom the Second
Presbyterian church had a Bible
class Of 80 which met in the court
house. The First Congregationalists
founded their first Sabbath school in
1857.
Holds School Record.
Mrs. Mary I. Creigh, a member Of
the First Presbyterian church, holds
the record for Sunday school work
in Omaha. She has taught continu-
ously in the First Presbyterian
school ever since 1875.
DR. Herbert A. Senter is another
Omahan who has spent many years
in Sunday school work. Although
born in Omaha, DR.. Senter spent his
boyhood in the country. At the age
of II years he first entered Sabbath
school work and 'has been engaged
in it ever since. He was superintend-
ent of the First Baptist church's
school from 1902 to 1905.
About the most historic class in
Omaha is the Webster Bible class
of the First Baptist church. 1t was
formed by its present teacher in the
early COS and still has as active
members few OF its original men,
bers or those who joined few years
after its organization. At present it
is the largest in Omaha, having over
100 members. 1t occupies sumptuous
quarters in the church and is en-
gagged in many different kinds of
philanthropic work. One room in the
Old Peoples Home is furnished by
the class and many local charities
are benefited by generous subscrip-
tons.
