HONOR JEWISH MEN WHO
DIED IN NATIONS SERVICE

A very beautiful and solemn serv-
ice was held at the Y. NJ. II. A. Sun
day in honor of h four Jewish boys
of this city who gave @t3aeir lives in
the late war. So worthy was the
purpose of this service considered
that representatives from almost
every Jewish home in the city were
present. making one of the largest
audiences ever seen in the Y. NJ. H..
A. Hall. Sympathizers numbering to
more than 200 were forced to stand
throughout the entire service.
A very handsomely inscribed tab
let was unveiled at this time, pom
which were the names of the four.
men who had died. and ar apprecia-
ton of the service they had done
mankind. Isaac Kramer, Edward
F~ranzblau, Isadore Kaufman and
Edward Lipman were the inscrip-
tons.
The services opened with the invo-
cation by Rabbi Friedman, which
a followed by a piano solo by Miss
Sadie Goldsmith. Miss Gertrude
Goldsmith recited "In Flanders
| Fields" with the beautiful pathos
hat can be expressed in this mas
terpiece.
Mary Cohen and Elizabeth Doris
rendered a very fine due which was
followed by the dedication by Attor-
hey Harry Medinets. Cantor Presh
gave the very appropriate Ma
Traehmon" and was followed by Rev.
DIR. Hoffman, Of Newark, who was
the speaker OF the evening. DR..
| Hoffman, who Ia a noted and elo-
quent speaker, surpassed himself up
! on this occasion and demonstrated
| clearly how much more beautiful was
the service rendered by these -four
men than 1t was sorrowful. Among
other things DR.. Hoffman said that
he hoped that the bronz memorial
would be placed upon h walls OF
the present Y. NJ. Fl. A. only temper
arily, expressing the wish of many
that q more appropriate hall would
soon be graced by this token of graf
itude in the near future.
"Eli-Eli," rendered beautifully by
Miss Ruth Jacobson. was followed by
the closing number. The vacant
Chair" sung by the Misses Rose
Brody, Mary Cohen, Elizabeth Doris
and Rose Sacarny. -
Much credit for the success of the
services is luz to the committee com
posed of Morris Goldberger, 1sadore
jacobson and Charles Most, who ar
ranged the entire program so appro-
priately.

WARSAW HLL ASTlR
WITH WAR ACTIVITY
By The Associated Press.
~ " -

By The Associated Press.
WARSAW March 19-Warsaw Is
humming with war activity and Is
crowded to its very doors with hordes
Of poverty-stricken refugees from the
areas for which the Poles and Boil
sheviki are fighting. Travellers say
it is the most crowded city in eastern
Europe. The population is estimated
to have increased from 100000 to
/, 100000 since the world war began.
Everywhere there are officers and
soldiers. Military automobiles, trac-
tors and various other vehicles of war
traverse the streets all day and most
of the night. The cafe life is as bright
and gay as ever, both the restaurants
and theatres close at 10 p. m. to save
food, light and labor. The refugees
from the wal stricken areas began
streaming into the city about a year
ago. and have been coming ever since,
hoping to find food and places to
sleep. The problem of providing for
them has baffled the city officials.
In the poorer districts, basementa
which for generations We're used for
storage purposes have been used for
refugees sleeping quarters. In in
stances fifteen to twenty persons and
even more. sleep on a basement floor.
on straw. Others have found shelter
in stables OF in buildings intended for
schools. Many of these refugees are
women, with children who have come
out of the east virtually without
funds. During the day these people
are partly supplied with food by the
municipality Or some of the welfare
organizations. Many exist only by
begging.
Warsaw's tenements. always crowd
ed as New York's east sida-has been
for years are damned with humanity
as never before, and during the severe
winter weather when there was an ep-
idemic of influenza here old men and
women and children died by the hum
dreds every day in this Ian Of the
poor.
City officials see no relief In sight
until warmer weather m when
they hope the people will gradually
begin leaving for the country to work
on farms

FIRE DAMAGES ATHENS
BUSINESS DISTRICT

A disastrous fire broke out in Athens
Sunday night, which consumed the
greater part of the business portion Of
the town, burning practically all of the
south side of the street.
According to information the fire,
the origin Of which was unknown,
started on the corner nearest the de-
pot in the two story house occupied
by Brooks as store andresidence, his
family living upstairs. The flames
spread from there burning Ovens
store, a barber shop, Neil's new brick
store, telephone office, Athens Hard
ware Co., store and warehouse, Dance
Mercantile Co., residence of Cage Pace,
and every building up to Dr. Bailey's
Drug Store.
At this writing we were unable to
ascertain the amount of insurance or
the probable loss. But as above indi-
gated majority of the business houses
in the town were burned, eight or nine
This is a severe loss and a great mis-
fortune to our neighbOring town. We
hope the loss was largely covered by
insurance and that the burned district
will soon be rebuilt.
Athens is a prosperous community,
of splendid citizenry, they
were about to establish bank of their
own, and we regret that the fire fend
has thus been at work among them.-
Guardian Journal.
According to the Democrats informa-
ton, insurance to the amount Of about
100000 was being carried by those
affected by the fire.

DIPPING VAT DYNAMITED,
WAREHOUSE is BURNED;
NEGRESS FOUND DEAD

Three serious disturbances occurred
in Ward 5, of this parish, within thu
four days between Sept Goth and Oct
4th. The first was the destruction OF
the dipping vat near Alberta by
dynamiting on Thursday night, Sept
Goth. This was followed on Sunday
morning, Oct. 3rd by the burning of q
warehouse in Castor, which was the
property of W. H. Began, merchant.
The dipping vat. which was located
near Wardlaw's gin, near Alberta, was
dynamited between LOO and 200
Thursday morning. Sheriff Currie was
Immediately notified, and Bob CAN'T.
of Crystal Springs, Miss, was notified
to hurry to the scene with his blood
hounds. Investigation resulted in the
arrest of man named AlgoOd, employ
ed as night Waterman at Wardlaw's
gin, who is being held as an accessory,
il being believed that others were i'm
plicated.
Sunday morning, October 3, at about
4 100 o'clock, three days after the
dynamiting of the dipping vat, W. H.
Bogan's warehouse was burned to the
ground The origin of the blaze was
clearly incendiary, and guards were
placed about the burned building until
the Sheriff could reach the scene With
bloodhounds. The dogs had no trouble
in picking up trail, and followed 1t
from the burned building at Castor, to
the home Of J. W. RigdOn, near Al
berta. Here the dogs went straight to
his bedroom door and stopped. Mr.
Rigdon, who is a well known farmer of
that section. was placed under arrest,
and is being held in connection with
the fire and as being implicated in the
blowing up of the dipping vat. Mr..
Rigdon is about So years old and has
a family.
The third disturbance was the
murder or suicide Of negro woman,
the wife of Jim Nose Cochran. She
was found dead in her yard, accord.
ing to her husband, who claims that
while he was at work at his barn,
his wife committed suicide by shooting
herself with shotgun, which was
found by her side. The coroner's jury
verdict was that she died of gunshOt
wounds inflicted by persons unknown.
