The Burns Club
 Open Meeting
Will Help Make BannOck. burn Field a Pernan=
 ent Memorial

At a meeting of the Burns Club last night arrangements were made for the next open meeting to be held on March IA. The following com mittee was named to have charge of this and all future events. Pres ident Robert Currie, Joseph Mackie, James Gardner, James Wilson, William Carew, David Guffie, Alex ander Gibson and James McBroom.
 It was also voted to answer an appeal for funds to help defray the expense of preserving the battlefield of Bannockburn in Scotland. It has long been the ambition of Scotchmen to make the scene of the great conflict which took place on June 24. 1914, a permanent me- morial. and they decided not to do the work any longer. In this great battle Robert Bruce with 3O.000 Scotch soldiers proved more than a match for Edward II with a force of 100000 trained troops. thus se- curing his throne and winning the independence of Scotland. It is said that in the desperate encounter the English lost 30,000 and the Scotch 5000 men. In another passage at arms near the same place in 14SS, James TIT was defeated and lost his life.

 The I'D really completed the cap ture of these places, says Strick- land, admitting the second may have had patrols there but not until the Yankee Division swept through did 1t become American territory.
 Strickland says:
 g.Bouresches was not in the pos- session of any American troops until the 26th dislodged the Germans, who held the northern half of the town, after long and bitter fighting. The marines might have had patrols in the town but they were far from be- ing in possession of it," It is also fact that the 26tR-division. when 1t relieved the second. took it's place in Belleau Woods and completed their capture when the Chateau Thierry drive started. It is also a fac. that the 101st infantry of the 26th captured Vaux.
 Yet General Pershing in his his- tory states: "The second division began series of attacks on June G., 1918, which eliminated in the cap- turs of the last German positions in

Rabbi Breslau
 at the Central Y
Spoke on the Subject Christian and Jew Yes=
 terday Afternoon

Rabbi Isadore Breslau was the speaker at the Sunday afternoon forum yesterday at the Central I. M. c. A. He took as his subject Christian and Jew" and spoke to crowded lobby.
 He opened his talk with the state ment that formerly it was impossible for Christian and Jew to intermingle because of misunderstandings. He said, We meet today not to van quish one another but to help each other and to discover the will of our Father in heaven. All religions must be taken into consideration in discovering the will of God. sincerely hope the Hebrew people Of Palestine will be interpreters between the East and the Vest"
 According to Rabbi Breslau we are too polite in our discussions of Christian and Jew and we. there- fore, should endeavor to be more outspoken and promote better un- derstanding between the two creeds. Salvation will never be denied us be- cause of creed but because of the type of life we live every day"
 Speaking of the causes of friction between Christian and Jew Rabbi Breslau stated that one great cause was the Christian zeal sometimes used in an endeavor to convert the Jew to Christianity. He said His tory approves that the more you try to wean the Jew from his own faith, the more stubborn he becomes. and very often only the weak sisters are converted.
 Other causes of friction today are the economic. social and educational discriminations practiced on the Jewish race today.
 In the question period following the talk Rabbi Breslau was ques- tioned on the value of the Jewish religion to the present day civiiiza- ton. and brought out quite clearly and forcibly the great part 1t has playef in the history of man and his religion.

Clayton Browns
 Lenten Sermon
Spoke to Men at Y DOrnli- tory Yesterday on
 Faith"

Clayton L. Brown. Building Boys Secretary at Central r.. M. c. A.. spoke yesterday to twenty dormi- tory men at their regular Sunday morning breakfast. The subject of his talk was Faith. MT Brown stated that the custom of sacrifice and denial in the observance of Lent Is an ancient thing that has been handed down through centuries. He says that the modern idea of Lent is to do. and strive harder to do good. rather than only denial on the theory that during this period you should not do anything. By doing the things in every day life that bring joy and happiness to people we cre- ate a trust in the good of things which gives us faith to go on. To practical men faith means a trust in the stability of nature. trust in the honesty and capabilities of other persons, trust in our friends. trust in our country and a trust in God.
