LUTHERANS PLAN
BIG WAR DRIVE
[Continued from First Pago.]
j $150,000 every year while the war
lasts.
Nothing like this effort on the
j part of the Lutherans has been at
j tempted by other denominations,
although others, notably Presbyte
rians, Methodists and Episcopalians,
all have war commissions. To-day's
meeting, under the chairmanship of
the Rev. S. W. Herman, pastor of
the Messiah Lutheran Church,
marked the entrance of Eastern
Pennsylvania into the vast national
movement, which includes every
branch of the Lutheran Church, this*
comprising a total membership in j
the country of over two and three
quarter millions, with affiliations of
ten millions. The aim is to raise I
$2,500,000, the campaign starting
January 1.
"There is hardly a doubt," said
Mr. Herman to-day, "that the Lu
theran Church will not be successful
in this great movement To begin
with, it has already brought to
gether, as one, all the various divi
sions of our church, and it must be
remembered that thirten languages
are represented in the Lutheran re
gime. Of these, it certainly is
worthy of note that the German
Lutherans are most strenuous in
urging enlistment and in supporting
this big endeavor There are no
more loyal people in the country.
And the Norwegian element have
proved their sentiment by thus far
raising $150,000, while the Swedes'
contribution up to date is over $50,-
000."
In embraing on this crusade the
Lutheran Church takes the attitude, it
was explained this morning by mem
bers of the committee, that while the
Y. M. C. A. is doing a great work for
the spiritual welfare of the soldier,
nevertheless men of the Lutheran
faith should have help from their own
demomination.
(till rah Influence
"No denominational emphasis can
be placed on the work of the Y. M. C.
A." explained Mr. Herman. "The Lu
thern Church will wor right along
with it; we have an understanding.
But we want to bring our church di
rectly to the trenches and for this
end we must provide every sort of
equipment, shacks, comforts and
books. This means that the church
must defray the expenses of regular
and civilian chaplains and take care
of charges that must be deserted, pay
ing the salaries of me nwho go to
the army. There are now a couple
hundred thousand Lutheran boys ill
I service, and it is for their definite 1
spiritual welfare that we are making 1
this campaign."
The system planned to-day for cov
ering Eastern Pennsylvania includes
a chairman and a committee for each
county, and every congregation will
be taxed. A bit of good news this
morning was the receipt of a
1 heck from a woman in Philadelphia.
The executive committee organized
as follows: President, William H.
Ilager, Lancaster; vice-president.
Harry C. Miller, Philadelphia; secre
tary, George B. Remensynder, Sun
bury; treasurer, ohn F. Dapp, Harris
burg. Other members of the execu
tive committee, who made up the first
and very enthusiastic meeting, were:
P. A. Elsessen. York; Frank E. Colvln,
Bedford; Charles A. Widle, Loysville:
C. A. Schimmelfepg, Warren; P. H.
Leenhuis. Krle; Judge Reber, Roches
ter. N. Y.; Robbin B. Wolfe, Pitts
burgh; the Rev. W. C. Keiter, Phila

VISIT PIGGERY

i
Will Learn How Municipal
I Garbage is Put to Good
Use
Members of City Council, the Health
]
bureau and other officials left early
this afternoon for Lancaster to in
| spect the piggery being used near
j that city to dispose of garbage col
! iectjsd there. On Saturday the lowest
j hid received for garbage disposal In
| Harrisburg was from Hagy Brothers,
I who hold the contract for collection 1
| and disposal in Lancaster. As a large
I piggery is used and the garbage fed
| to hogs, city officials, before making
a decision, decided to investigate the !
j system. Council will probably act on i
; the garbage contract award to-mor- !
| row.
j Other cities adopting the piggery j
I system for disposal of garbage report j.
it is about the most successful meth- i
od to be used, at the same time pre- j
venting a waste. Wilkes-Barre only |
recently changed to this system and j
! now all city garbage there is col- j
| lected and fed to hogs. In the New j
England states a number of munici
| palitles have used this method for |
| some time, among them Worcester, i
| Mass. The success of the scheme there !
| has attracted attention throughout I
! the eastern part of the country and j
has been investigated frequently by
other cities before adopting it.
Coined will also act to-morrow on
the civil service rules which were i
submitted last week, it is believed, j
An ordinince also will be called fori
final passage. It provides for an ex- !
. penditure of SIO,OOO for repairs at
