Stitute Tells of Great
Need

The final sessions for the year of
the city Institutes We're held to-day
in the Technical high school audi
torium with DIR. Frank McMurray, of
Columbia University. and DIR. j. H.
Francis. superintendent of the schools
at Columbus, Ohio. as speakers.
DIR. Francis spoke on The Leisure
Time of the American Boys and Girls" :"
In the course of his remarks he said:
The greatest danger this nation faces
to-day is the unoccupied time of our
boys and girls. Not more than from
so to so per cent. of the human pos
stbilities are discovered in our chill
dren. Instead of having them going
to moving picture shows. where they
see one man run away with another
mans wife, we might interest the
children in war gardens. TINS year
one quarter OF a billion dollars worth
of food could be released. to the sol
dierS on the front through the work
of the American school children In
war gardens. At the same time two
billion dollars worth of wasted en-
ergy could be saved. and also give
the children an opportunity to dis
cover their ability to till the soil. City
gardens. in charge of competent men
who know farming, could be Kept
open from in the morning until
at night" The speaker also argued
for night schools that would construct
through the energies that are being
wasted in dissipation. He also suS-
gested educational shops that would
be open at all times.
Changes in Education" was the
theme of DIR. McMurray. "The most
important change that has taken
place in education recently is our
change in viewpoint of what boys and
girls really are. said he. lie added
that a teacher is employed primarily
to live with the pupils. stating that
play is one of the most important fac
tors that enters into the life OF
child.
During the intermission William

Rumanians Break Away
From Former Leader

Tonight at . o'clock, Rumanian
priests and delegates from Rumania
communities of the nation will sign
the act of submission to the Arch
bishop of Bucharest arch bishop
Rumanian Greek Orthodox churches
of America, on Washington's Birth
day, denied and broke away from
the authority of the Transylvanian
archbishop, Vasile Mangra, residing
at Sibui, (Hermanstaadt), Transyl-
vania, and are now under the juris-
diction of the Bucharest archbishop.
The conference, when the signatures
will be appended to the document is
now being held in Youngstown, Ohio
About 80 per cent. of Rumanians
living in America hail from Transyl-
vania. Their religious institutions
recognized the spiritual authority of
the late Archbishop loan Metianu,
of Sibui, who died several months
after the beginning of the European
war. Following his death. the seat
was forcibly taken by the Hungarian
premier TirZa, characterized by
Rumanians as the most odious
traitor of Rumanian aspirations and
the most hated person that the Ru-
manians ever had" Because of this
hate, Rumanians living in America
were led to this rupture from their
mother church.
The present Archbishop Vanile
Mangra, was, at times, a good ma
tionalist, who waged many hard
fights for Rumanian betterment. At
one time he was elected as Bishop
of Arad, but, owing to his pronounc-
ed national sentiments, he was not
recognized by the Rumanian premier
and Franz Joseph, Emperor of Aus
tria. He later Joined with his former

PAPERHANGERS
TO SAVE FLOUR
Need For High Class Brands
Prompts Administrator
to Action

SO imperative is the need to save
wheat that Howard Heinz. the Penn

says.
Second class or low-grade flour
may be sold to paperhangers, but 1t
is doubtful il these grades are in the
market now. as under the new meth
cd milling there is only five per cent
extraction.
lie also warns in the matter of la
bells. Wheat Flour" or War Quail

ing more than than that the flour
has been milled in accordance with
regulations. and that it may con-
tain seventy-four per cent. of the

substitutes But il the -four is
mixed one. the label should specify
the ingredients and the percentage
of substitutes contained. The flour
may then be sold with enough ad-

"whole wheat flour" or graham

SOLDIERS FROM CAMPS
PRACTICE IN LAUNDRlES
Called fighting Cinnamon" They
Are Detailed to Learn to Run
Washing Machinery.

In response to a request from the
military authorities several big Wash
ington laundries have taken soldiers
from nearby camps into their work
rooms to teach them to operate the
up-to-date washing machinery which
is being installed in Army canton
ments both in this. country and in
France
The fighting Cinnamon" as the men
detailed for this work are called by
their comrades, go to the laundries
every morning. as they would go to
school and return to camp at night.
Although military authorities declined
this morning to discuss this latest in
novation in military training, it is
known that several of the men are
from Camp Meigs, 5th street and
Florida avenue northeast.
Laundry managers made it clear
that the presence of the soldiers in
their workshops is in no so1se an eff
fort to relieve the labor shortage, but
was arranged at the request of the
government solely for the purpose of
allowing the soldiers to learn to
operate the machinery.
On the contrary, one manager point
ed out that the soldiers are of little
assistance in turning out the laundry
work, because after short periods of
instruction they are transferred and
new men take their places. The laun-
drymen. this manager stated, are
training the men willingly as pa
triotic duty.

SEES MENACE TO JEWS
IN ZIONIST MOVEMENT
Rabbis' National Committee Asks
President to Withdraw 1ndorse-
ment of Nationalistic Plan.

NEW YORK, September Elm a
telegram to President Wilson, the
rabbis' national committee has ex-
pressed its belief that "all attempts
to revive a separate nationality or
nationalistic interest among Jews is
menace to judaism"
The telegram was sent as conse-
quence Of the Presidents Jewish New
Year message to Rabbi Stephen S.
Wise, former president Of the pro-
visional Zionist committee. Mr.. Will
reconstructive work which the Brit
ish mission, headed by DR.. Chain
Weisemann, president of the English
Zionist Federation. has been doing in
Palestine to make the country the
future Jewish homeland.
The telegram sent today urged
President Wilson to reconsider your
Endorsement Of the Zionist movement
and the Balfour declaration" approx
ing of the homeland.
"Zionism is a religious as well as a
political problem for Jews" adds the
telegram signed by Rabbi Ephraim
Frisch. acting chairman of the rabbis'
national committee.
Thousands Of us are convinced
Inat all attempts TO revive separdte
nationality for nationalistic interests
among Jews are a menace to Judaism,
sure to lead to the ultimate eclipse
of our religious interests by political
concerns, and that the esta blishment
of a Jewish state would tend to dis
tract our co-religionists here from a
full and perfect allegiance to Ameri-
can citizenship and obligation"
Rabbi Wise, in a statement, hailed
the Presidents letter as word in
good season and expressed the hope
that Jews who have strangely hesi-
tated' to support the movement
would find reassurance in the mes
sage, (which must set at rest every
doubt touching the compatibility Of
Americanism and Zionism.'
