CHURCH Big Delegations of Pennsylva nia Ministers and Laymen* Going to Conference Chambersburg, Pa., May 8. : Pennsylvania, one of the stronsholds | of United Brethrenism, is to be rep resented by forty-four delegates at i the twenty-seventh quadrennial ses -1 sion of the General Conference of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ at Wichita, Kan., May 10 to 22. This conference, which is the highest governing body of the de nomination, during its sessions will elect general church officers, deter mine tho budget and enact legisla tion for the whole church for the next four years. Six bishops will be in attendance at the sessions: W. . M, Weekley, Parkorsburg. W. Va., bishop of. East District; G. M. Mat thews, Dayton, Ohio, bishop of Cen tral District: H. H. Fout, Tndianapo j lis, Ind., bishop of Northwest Dis trict; C. J., Kepliart, Kansas City, Mo., bishop of Southwest District; W. M. Bell, Los Angeles, Pal., bishop of Pa'cific District, and A. T. Howard, bishop of Foreign District. The elec tion of bishops for tedms of four years will take place at the confer ence and the re-election of these sijc men is expected. The conference will consist of over two hundred delegates elected from all parts of the United States. A com parison of this session's number of delegates with that of the first Gen eral Conference of the Church shows in a measure the marvelous growth of the church. The first conference, which convened in 1815 in a small log sclioolhouse at Mt. Pleasant, Westmoreland county, Pa., was at tended by fourteen delegates, there having been but twenty delegates elected. At that time there was one bishop in the. whole denomination, the Rev. Christian Newcomer being elected to that.office by the 1815 con ference. The second general confer ence took place just one hundred years ago. Since then Its sessions have been held quadrennially. To-day the United Brethren < hurch has in round numbers 350,- 000 members, and 3,400 houses of worship and 1,200 parsonages, whose combined valuation is over $15,000,- 000. It is now one of the ten leading j denominations in the United States, besides being the oldest and the next j to the strongest among the Ameri j can-born denominations. The delegates from the Perinsylva | nia and East Pennsylvania confer ences of the church met at Harris burg on Monday evening and left for Dayton, Ohio. They were joined en route to Dayton by the Allegheny conference delegation. At Dayton, the site of the denomination's big Publishing house and the headquar ters of the general church officers, the Pennsylvania delegations, with others, took a special train for the scene of the general conference.

HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH THRIFT SYSTEM TO BE INSTALLED IN SCHOOLS SOON Representatives of Banking System Getting Ready For First Deposits Arrangements are rapidly bfcins completed for the installation of the Educational Thrift Service System in the city public schools. Recently the school hoard gave permission for the opening of the banking sys tem for school children, and within the next few days the first deposits will be started, representatives of the company said. In explaining the system, \V. E. Loving, sales manager ot the Thrift Service said: > "The plan Is as simple as it is practical. For a few minutes each week each pupil becomes a little business man or woman. He conies forward to the teacher's desk and tenders his weekly deposit slip, with pass book and money. The toacher checks up and when deposit time'is over, places the money, slips and book in a bag and Is sent to the principal's office. The contents of the bag from each room is there placed in a master bag and the day's deposit with books and slips is taken to the bank, where each pupil in his individual account is credited with his latest deposit. Can He Withdrawn Any Time "The money can b withdrawn at any time although it has been shown by the working of tho system every where that tne youngsters become too fascinated watching their ac counts grow to wish to withdraw their savings. "These school savings have every advantage of an ordinafy savings account. They may be started with a single penny and deposits may also be made for any amoiint desired." Equal Opportunities "Interest is paid," Mr. Loving con tinued, "as soon as the account reaches the set sum of one dollar. The system provides equal oppor tunities for the high school student as well as for the small boys and girls in the first grade. The funda mental idea of the plan is to teach saving, to make thrift a part of the school curriculum. That children take to the idea is shown by the fact that already 400,000 school children have more than $3,000,000 on de posit in school savings banks in the United States. "The system has been started In 111 school districts in this State, in cluding both public and parochial schools. Hollidaysburg, Tyrone, Huntingdon, Mt. Union, Lewisburg, Clearfield and many other places have already agreed to have the sys tem started." Mr. Loving predicted success for the system here, declaring its fundamental purpose was to add to each child's education a knowledge of the importance and advantages of saving. German Chancellor Is Attacked as Being Too Weak to Win Victory By Associated Press. Copenhagen, May B.—The conserva tives and pan-Germans have now brought up their heavy artillery in the battle against Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg and boldly lay the blame for the long duration of the war at his door. The Conserva tU'Mj|eutsche Tages Zeitung explain* tna~ three or four days' delay in German moblllzatio n at the outset of the war, due to the chancellor's hesitant policy, caused the loss of the battle of the Marne. The paper holds that the troops that were detached to stein the Russian invasion of East Prussia would have been sufficient to change the defeat of General Von Kluck's army into a victory and that in that case the war would have ended in a speedy and decisive German triumph. The Tages Zeltung goes on to declare that the chancellor threw away a second chance of terminating the war by op posing ruthless submarine warfare. It cites Field Marshal Conrad Von Hoetzendorr, Austrian commander-in chief. as saying recently: "The war would have been over long ago if the submarine campaign had begun a year earlier."
