B. Clark profes sorship at Dickinson College. In the linal hours many heavy '.hecks arrived and they were still coming in this morning. The goal sought In this conference was $450,000 for Dickinson College and Dickinson Seminary, and it was feared that it would not be reached only a week ago. But the last seven days saw tremendous activity by clergy and laymen, among the most prodigious workers being the Rev. Dr. M. E. Schwartz, of Harrisburg. Gleaning Sunday furnished a new edge to the campaign and since then SIOO,OOO rolled in, making the goal. The total announced to-day was $550,000, or SIOO,OOO over the amount set for this district. Good news came at the same time from Delaware which raised $250,- 000 when its goal was $210,000. The campaigns close shortly in New York and Ohio and it is predicted that they also will go over the top. The total of the national campaign is set at $35,000,000 and of this, by the enterprise of the east, $20,000,- 000 has now been raised. New Eng land will be the next territory can vassed and by the middle of next summer the whole country will have paid its ratio. A bulk of the contri butions will be used for endowments in Dickinson College ahd Williams port-Dickinson Seminary. PLAN NEW SYSTEM FOR CITY SCHOOLS [Continued from First Page.] manner as the work of the com mittees is outlined. New Offices In abolishing all standing com mittees the work of purchasing supplies will devolve entirely upon the purchasing agent. The super intendent of buildings will have complete charge of all repair work to be done in any school building in the city, will have the janitors under his direction and will make a monthly report to the board. The work of the accountant will be somewhat similar to the duties of the superintendent of accounts and finance in third class cities. He will have charge of accounts of all appropriations, salaries paid out, sinking fund statements and ac counts for all expenses of heating, supplies and other costs for each school building. The rules applying to the powers of the city superintendent will give him much of the authority now in vested in the teachers' committee. Rules in connection with the preparation of a schedule of busi ness for each meeting of the board will require the secretary to prepare and submit to each member, at least one day before any board meeting, a detailed statement of all business ts. iie transacted at the session. Proofs of the revised rules will probably be submitted at a board meeting in January and after neces sary corrections and additions will be ready for the final apptoval of the directors. Bids for the remodeling of the Camp Curtin building for a Juniot High school were opened this after noon. Plans were prepared by M. I. Kast, architect. PIONEER RAILROAD MAN DEAD By Associated Press Mauch Chunk, Pa.,.Dec. 21. La fayette Lentz, pioneer railroad builder and coal operator, died here last night. He was 89 years old. Mr. Lentz was active in the construction of the Lehigh Valley Railroad and many other lines in the coal region, and in recent years had operated a large coal mine at Park Place, Schuyl kill county. He was one of the ■wealthiest men in this section of the state. "Meet Me At Davenport's" This is a common ex pression heard daily on the railroad trains and trolley cars coming into Harrisburg. Friends coming in to do shopping or attend to other business, find this a convenient meeting place. Christmas shoppers, es pecially find it convenient to step in for a cup of coffee, cocoa, or a light lunch, and feel refreshed to continue their shopping tour. 325 Market St. "Architects of Appetites" HARJUSBURG TELEGRAPH "GET TOGETHER" IS GROWING MOVEMENT [Continued from First Page.] vantage. There has been entirely too much factionalism and dissension in the party in Pennsylvania in the past few years and instead of trying to improve conditions those who are apparently in control of the party machinery seem determined to keep up the strife. This course can have only one result—a victory for the enemy. "As The New Era has previously stated, the Republican party is big | enough to heal its internal strifes which, we are sorry to say, seem to increase in bitterness with each re curring fight, and the time is now here when the healing process must be administered. The rank and file of the party has long been disgusted with the manner in which the Phila delphia and Pittsburgh politicians have used the party for their own personal gains, and they are demand ing that these so-called leaders either get together for party harmony gr step aside and let men who have the future welfare of the great Repub lican organization at heart take the helm and steer the good old Repub lican ship into the right channels." From Washington John Ij. Stewart, editor of the Washington Observer, writes: • "I have your letter of recent date asking me for my views upon the Republican situation in the state, especially as it affects the guberna torial contest next year. "I quite agree with all you say in your letter as to the necessity of stamping out factionalism and dis sension within the party and within a few days I will send you something expressive of my sentiments. "I am enclosing you herewith an editorial which I wrote for The Ob server a few days since which simply touches upon the issue in a general way. "I am, very sincerely yours, "JOHN L. STEWART." Along this line, the Washington Observer in the course of the editor ial mentioned had this to say: "What is needed within tlie Re publican party to-day is a getting to gether of men of the state, who are interested in the Republican party from principle, who to-day place loy alty to country above loyalty to' party and loyalty to party above loyatly to factions or any factional leader. "It would be a great pity if at the very time when this country should be united in thought and action for the success of the war, that this sta.te should be involved in factional polit ical warfare which would determine only what set of political contractors should dominate the party politics or what set of men should have the distribution of political patronage. "If this is all that Republicanism means in the state of Pennsylvania then it does not mean very much to the average voter and he is likely to say so at the election in November, 1918, especially so when he himself is doing his part either in the field or at home for his country as a loyal I citizen and patriot." A letter of similar import comes from the Wilkes-Barre ✓ Evening News, in which John A. Hourigan, the publisher, says: "The pressure of other business prevented my replying to your Jqfter of December 1, 1917, more promptly. "In answer thereto I beg leave to inform you that I agree thoroughly with the thought expressed in your letter. "I am ready and willing to join in a movement to bring about a united party. I believe the Republican party is for Republicans and not for fac tions. The sooner we rid the party of factionists and put in their stead Republicans, the better for nation and state. "Very truly yours, . "JOHN A. HOURIGAN." Standing o 1 the Crews HARHiSIItUG S!l>i: Phllndclphln Division —The 1 24 crew first to go after 5 o'clock; 105, 122. Engineer for 105. Brakemen for 122 (2).

ARGENTINA WILL BREAK WITH HUN [Continued from First Page.] "conference idea" is assum ed to be the proposed Latin-Amer ican neutrality conference advocated by President Carranza and widely discussed in South Anjerica. The secret agreement referred to may ex plain decent South American reports of President Irigoyen's proposals for a league of Soijth American nations. The messages, forty in number, were made public by the State De partment through an agreement with the Argentine government and were accompanied by a statement by Foreign Minister Puerreydon, in which he, says the "inaccuracies" of the German charge's report are so surprising ithat no epithet will fit them. The messages were sent to Ar gentine soon after the State de partment gave out the firt scries in which Luxburg advised his govern, ment to sink Argentine ships with out trace, but heretofore demands for their publication have been in vain. The first series were trans mitted through the Swedish lega tion at Buenos Aires, but the means of communication used for the lat est batch sent during July, August and September was not disclosed, except that some of the first series telegrams were included in ones made public last night.
