...monument in the Vosges marks the spot where, in 1914, Grand Rabbi Abraham Bloch was killed while bringing a cross to a dying French officer. Last week Grand Rabbi Maurice Liber, peacetime head of Paris' rabbinical school, now aumônier general for the army's Jews, combed France for Jewish chaplains. Entitled to 48, he could find only 26.

...especial interest is a sepia wash, which is one of the famous Liber Studiorum group. This drawing was presented to the Museum by Miss Ellen Bullard of Boston, and is the only one of the group in the country. The rest of the Liber Studiorum are in the National Gallery in London. This group of paintings was probably produced by Turner to rival Claude Lorrain, the famous French artist who drew the Liber Veritatis group...
