GREAT GROWTH
OF U. B. 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

of Pa'cific District, and A. T. Howard,

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."
New National Hymn Sought
to Enliven German Empire
By Associated Press
Berlin, May 7, via London, May 8.
—Germany wants a new national
hymn. The present anthem, "Hail to
the Victor" is objected to on the
ground that its music is not stlrrinTg
enough and that its similarity to
the English national anthem has
been a constant source of embarrass
ment.
A committee of men well known In
the world of religion, arts and letters
has issued a call for manuscripts of
a national anthem which shall be
popular in words and music.
Censorship Lid Is Tight
on the State Department
Washington, May B.—The usual
channels of information through
which news of American relation
ships to foreign powers have up to
now reached the public were closed
to-day by Secretary Lansing.
An order bearing Ills name was
distributed broadcast to State De
partment officials instructing them
not. to talk with newspapermen,
"even on Insignificant matters of
fact or detail." Henceforth, under
the order, the press will not be able
to discuss the background of com
plicated international questions with
the experts at the nead of each
bureau.

able that a conference may be held
