FIRST CHURCH IS
BUILT IN kENOsHA
Orthodox Russians Build
First Church in Wisconsin
on Bronson and
Pleasant st.
BUILDING NEARS cOMPL Elton

Kenosha is to be the first city in Wis
consin to have church dedicated ia
the services of the Russian Orthodox
Greek Catholic Church. The building
lis now being erected at the corner OF
Pleasant and Bronson streets and its
completion about Easter will mark
the beginning of new faith in Wis
consin. The new church will be reli
gious home for the two hundred mem
bers Of the Russian Society of St
Nicholas in Kenosha and will look af
ter the spiritual needs o. the more than
fifteen hundred Russians who are in
Kenosha
The approaching dedication Of the
new church in Kenosha marks the end
Eof long desire of Kenosha Russians
to have church where they could wor.
ship as they saw best. Many years
ago the Society of st. Nicholas was
established and since then regular
church meetings have been held at the
homes of the members. In 1915 the or.
ganization purchased eight lots at the
present sit Of the church, but were
forced to postpone the building of the
fedifce until this year.
The building, which is now under
roof, is to be two story structure
with a large auditorium and a four
room house for the priest and his
family. The contract calls for more
than $4,000 and the society hopes to
dedicate the building almost free from
debt. The Rev. Peter Zawchenko is
to be the pastor of the new congrega-
ton and Michael Kuchinsky and Wasil
Letecki are president and secretary
respectively Of the church organization
Members Of the congregation were
very anxious to explain the nature of
the society and the aims of the new
church organization. All Of the mem
bers of the Society Of st. Nicholas
come from the south of Russia from
that class of people known as the demo-
cratic class. This section of Russia
has been particularly free from Boil
shevism and the Kenosha colony de-
clares that there are no Bolsheviki ten
denotes among its members. The mem
bers of the society, two hundred in all
demonstrated their patriotism for
America, in the recent war by puchas-
ing $4,000 worth of Liberty Bonds and
by sending scores of soldiers to serve
in the American armies.
The establishment of the church in
Kenosha is expected to go far towards
attracting only the best Of the Russian
immigrants to Kenosha. AS the first
church of this nature in Wisconsin and
even in the northwest outside of the city
of Chicago, it will mark Kenosha as a
particularly attractive city for those
Russians who desire to establish homes
in this country.

NEW ENGLAND PLAGUE SPOT
"Merrymount" Resort for the Worlds
Riffraff, Until Wiped Out by
Captain Standish.

An interesting chapter on 1.-THE
Tares" in the New England Canaan
In Roland G. Usher's book, 1.-THE Pill
grims and Their History" pays spe-
cial attention to Merrymount, which
other writer's on New England have
always noticed at length, and which
gave Hawthorne material for story.
Morton, who founded 1t, arrived in
Massachusetts only five years after the
Pilgrims had landed, and being a gen
tleman of choicely cultivated vices,
disliked the atmosphere of the place,
He was sort of junior partner or
helper to one Captain Wollaston, who
had number Of indentured servants
with him; Wollaston went to Virginia
and wrote Morton to bring on these
servants to the same place, where they
could be sold at an advantageous fig
ure. But with an eye to the main
chance Morton proposed that instead
the servants go with him into the
wilderness, and found a settlement
where they could be (under his loose
authority their own masters. They
did so, and this settlement of Merry
mount became a sort Of gambling-hell
and drunkard's resort for all the riff
raft of the region. Morton, captain Of
a crew of desperate white sailors and
settlers, rogues, runaway servants, and
even dissolute Indian women, held
high sway for a time-till Captain
Standish appeared on the scene.

realm of music and his recent triumph
in gay Parcel was but elimination
Of his earlier accomplishments in Amer
lea and France.
The news of the January concert
came in letter from Kenosha soldier
in France who clipped from the Paris
section of the American paper the men
tion of the concert. The feature of the
program was the rendition of "Le-
gende Indienne,'' for which Mr.. Teck-
tonius composed the music.
In the recent recital the Wisconsin
musician was assisted by the Mile. Zina
Brezia of the Opera and Mile. Lily de
Pouzola Of the Odeon, two Of the ar
fists now favorites of the Paris music
lovers. Mr.. Tecktonius has been in
France for several months making a
tour of the army camps and his recital
in Paris came as result of his sue
| cesses on the army circuit.
The Badger musician has many
friends in Kenosha, who rejoice in his
recent honors. He is the brother Of
Mrs. Fred Stemm and the brother-in-law
Of H. E, Barden. His home is now
in Racine but for many years he was
resident Of Kenosha and earlier in
his career he won the praise of Keno
sha musicians by his recitals in this
city.

Miss Dora Heyman and Vic
tor Baer Have Been
Praised by Metro
pOlitan Critics.
"A PERFECT PIANIsTE''
The Musical Leader" Declares Miss
Heyman is Satisfactory in Every
Requirement. of the
Pianist's Art"

I'm her rendition of the prelude and
fugue in A-minor by Bach-Liszt and the
theme and variations in the same key
by Paderewski, Dora Heyman, young
Chicago pianiste, disclosed good tech
nical resources and keen musical per-
ception. Maurice Rosenfeld, Chicago
American.
''The young artist possesses one OF
the most promising talents recently
displayed in the local concert halls.
She has most surprising facility, her
tone il firm, warm, and nicely shaded,
and she plays spontaneously. The piano
is to her natural medium of express
sion, but it also is evident that she has
been excellently taught. Glenn Dill
lard Gum, Chicago Tribune.
''The young pianist, Miss Dora Hey
man, already is an artist of quality.
She gave the Bach-Liszt Prelude and
Fugue in A-minor with an understand
ing Of the music and clean firm tech
nique that spoke volumes for her mu-
steal powers. ''---Karleton Hackett, Chi
cage Evening Post
These excerpts reveal Chicago com
ment on the artistry of Miss Dora
Heyman, who will appear in recital with
Victor Baer at the Elks home on We'd
nesday afternoon. The concert will be
a benefit for the Fatherless Children of
France and will undoubtedly attract a
wide patronage Presenting such mas
ters Of music assMiss Heyman and Mr..
Baer and fulfilling such mission as
aid for war-orphans "out there the
affair promises to be the most i'm
portant artistic event Of the early new
year season.
No tickets will be sold for the con-
cert, but an admission Of fifty cents
will be charged at the door. All of the
money collected in this way win go to
the fund of the society inasmuch as
Miss Heyman and Mr.. Baer are Civ
ing their services gratis.
1t is only rarely that Kenosha peo-
pie have the privilege Of hearing so dis
tinguished a pianiste as Miss Heyman.
Although she lives in this city, so much
of her time in recent years has been
given to the concert halls of Chicago,
Milwaukee, and ST. Louis, that only her
closest friends have heard her play the
numbers that have made her famous.
Her interpretations of Bach-Liszt, Pad
erewski, and Mcdowell, have won her
lavish praise from metropolitan critics
and have made her a favorite with
audiences that crave music of artistry
and power.
Another reviewer says of her:
A piano recital by Dora Heyman on
Sunday afternoon at Howard 8 Theatre,
proved to be intensely interesting. 1t
is seldom that so young musician is so
decidedly satisfactory in every require
ment of the pianist's art
Such extravaganza praise as this from
a periodical so conservative as "The
Musical Leader" is indisputable proof
of Miss Heyman's mastery of the
piano and rich prophecy of the
artistry to be expected in her recital
on Wednesday afternoon.
The full program for the concert in
Guiding Mr.. Baer IS as we'll as Miss Hey
mans numbers, win be published in
Tuesday edition Of the Evening News.

LOAN PAYS BILLS
FOR SAVING lives
Director Franklin Shows That It
Was Americas Great Force OF
Men and Munitions That
Forced German Surrender.

Lewis B. Franklin, director of the
Treasury Department, War Loan or
ganization, in an address before 400
Liberty Loan chairmen in Boston,
declared that the sacrifice of dol
lars in great expenditures and the
production of war materials had been
the salvation of thousands of Ameri
can lives.
He declared that Germany realized
that the vast accumulation of men
and material meant her humiliation
If she continued to fight and conse-
quently surrendered long before her
collapse was expected
Mr.. Franklin pointed out that the
enormous disbursements involved in
maintaining this gigantic war pro-
gram had already consumed more
than S6,000,00O,O0O raised by the
Fourth Liberty Loan and made it es-
sential for a successful Finishing
Fifth" victory loan to restore the
country to a normal peace basis.
when I think Of what New Eng
land did in the fourth loan," said Mr..
Franklin, II have no thoughts of fail
ure for the fifth loan in this federal
reserve district.
''It is a dangerous suggestion that
the banks take the burden of this
loan. It would hamper industry in
every direction. Factories which
turned to the government for financial
aid in their war material production
cannot return to a peacetime basis
on government aid, but must look to
the banks.
What can the banks do in such
cases If they are already over-burd-
ened with government securities? The
thing to do is to take the loan out of
the banks and put it into the hands
of the people.
THAT is what will relieve unem-
ployment and will result in better
wages. 1t will serve to bind more
strongly the community spirit which
is the salvation of America"
In referring to the need of the Vic
tory Loan, Mr.. Franklin pointed out
that the war production of the United
States had hardly reached a climax
when the armistice was signed.
Besides making huge loans to
Italy and Russia, the United States,
he said, had developed a gas program
never before dreamed of and in one
plant was manufacturing three times
as much gas as all the other allies
combined.
Thousands Of rifles manufactured in
America and shipped to France had
never fired, but this abundance Of war
material of which there has been no
use since the signing of the armistice
was together with the steady flow of
fighting men by the hundreds of
thousands the thing which broke the
hack of Germanx'a offense and forced

Speaking as your representative in
Congress-" said Congressman Lonergan,
Il can say that diplomat cannot speak.
In all the historv of time no diplomat
has told what that diplomat thought,
or what he proposed to do. Our Presi-
dent is now on a great mission, the
greatest since the Redeemer preached
Peace on earth But he is on this
mission as our country's diplomatic rep
resentative, and as diplomat he can't
speak, can't tell what he is preparing
to do But I believe the man who
uttered the lofty sentiments I have read
you about the se1f-determination of
small nations sentiments accepted by
our government and our associates in
the war, will prove to be lre1and's efec-
tive friend when the hour arrives"
Chancellor John G. Murray, who was
to have spoken on the Victory Lib
erty Loan" was engaged elsewhere, and
it was Congressman Lonergan who ask
ed the people to finish the job that the
boys began across the water. They
finished their job; let us finish our end
of it" was his slogan, and he illustrated
its meaning by describing the many
wounded men who appeared in Fridays
parade of the Yankee Division.
