THE SYNOD GIVES $4,000
German Lutherans Of Iowa Contribute
Large Sum to Rcd eros. Work in
FatherIand-Money Sent to Count
Bernstorff, at7Washington.

Special to Times Republican.
Muscatine, Dec. S.-German Luther
ans of Iowa have contributed almost
$25, 900 to the German Red Cross relief
fund. Rev. J. .Haefner, treasurer of
the German Lutheran synod of Iowa,
this week sent to Count BernstorT at
Washington check for $4,000 which
represents the contribution of the
synod for the month of December Dur
ing the previous month a check for
$4,000 was forwarded to the German
ambassador.
Rev. Mr. Haefner expect that the
monthly contributions will average
about $4,000 per month until the close
of the war. The money is utilized only
to alleviate suffering and can not be
applied to the war fund. The officers
of the Iowa synod have protested
against American manufacturers sup
plying the warning nations with mu-
nitions and contraband of war. THE
deepest hypocracy is that which finds
a nation praying to God for peace and
supplying warning nations with sub
marines guns and other Instruments
of DEATH" said Rev. Haefner in voicing
a protest against that practice

rwo-sPoRT RULE REJECTED.
Inter. Collegiate Conference Repre.en
tatives Defeat Proposition,

Chicago. Dec. Faculty representa-
tives Of the Inter- Collegiate confer
ence. at their annual meeting here,
turned down the proposed two-sport
rule; set dates for various big nine
events and finally voted to reward the
combination in students Of athletic
prowess and scholastic ability.
The delegates set aside from the
conference treasury $4,000 the interest
on which will be used to purchase
yearly nine medals, one of which will
be awarded by the faculty of each in
stitution to the senior having shown
the greatest proficiency in scholarship
and athletics. The faculty will be the
judge Of the students. qualifications for
these medals which probably will be-
come available in 1915.
The two-sport rule met an over
whelming defeat. Besides the argu-
ment that the smaller schools would
suffer severely thru Its enactment. the
theory that many students fitting
themselves as athletic instructors
would be handicapped in acquiring all
around knowledge worked to its dis
advantage. The roll call on the meas
ure was not announced. No sugges-
ton for a one sport rule was made.

the Colorado strike commission APP
pointed by President Wilson to settle,
If possible, the mine labor troubles
which have torn that state apart for
the last year. He was formerly may

effect President Wilson'S action will
have upon the situation is problemat-
teal. The strikers, 1t is expected. will
welcome his plan as they did when he
first proposed 1t, but it is a question
whether the operators. who rejected
his original truce plan, will consent to
any peace scheme that involves turn

stood out against this all along. The

PALESTINE INDEPENDENT?
Jewish State May Be Set Up as Result
Of European War,

Correspondent of Associated Press)
London, Dec 7-One result of the
present war may be the realization of
the dream of centuries past--the set
ting up of Palestine as an independ-
ent Jewish state. Both England and
Russia will favor the project. says the
London Globe-England because
small neutral state In the holy land
will be the best possible protection to
Suez and Egypt, Russia because 1t Will
make the way easier for her to settle
certain Jewish problems within her
own borders. Continuing the Globe
says:
THE events Of the moment show
how Immediately Egyption integrity
is imperilled by the fact that right
of way thru Palestine is open to hos
tie power Palestine must become
either British or neutral There Is an
obvious political objection to British
occupation. Neutrality is the more de-
sirable solution
But il Palestine is TO become neil
trail, who is to govern it? Directly
that question is raised the claim of
the Jews forces itself upon our atten-
ton. We have to deal with the re-
markable fact that a people which lost
its country over two thousand years
ago still cherishes the memory of that
loss, and links the hope of recovery
with its deepest religious instincts.
Here then we have two Influences
at work for the re- establishment of
Jewish state-the British desire for a
neutral Palestine. and the territorial
instinct Of the Jews themselves. There
is third influence. Russia hns
pledged herself to the re- establishment
of an autonomous Poland under the
Car But in Poland as we know 1t
now there is one obvious obstacle TO
the development OF Polish state
strong In its national consciousness.
and that is the presence of large
Jewish element. All who know Russian
Poland will agree that settlement of
the Jewish question is essential to the
complete success of the great scheme
to which Russia is pledged, and will
recognize that II is precisely to the
Polish Jews that the reconstruction of
the Jewish state would make the
strongest appeal"

Fourteen. Year Old Daughter Of Arthur
Carter Dead and 12-Year- old Girl
q Probably Fatally Injured in Distress
!. ing Aecidsnt-Were at Home Alone
at Time.

Clear Lake, Dec s.-Nellie Carter,
aged IA, is dead, and Frances Carter
aged 70, is probably fatally burned. as
the result of using kerosene on
smouldering fire, in the home OF their
father, Arthur Carter, on the old Bur-
dick farm northeast of here, Sunday.
The fire had been kindled by MI
Carter, when he, with his brother ana
hired man. got up before the little
girls arose, to go out and do the morn
ing work. The fire he built did not
burn very we'll, and when the little
girls came down stairs they es-
sayed to make it burn harder before
getting breakfast Frances, supposine
the fire was out, poured kerosene, from
the can, upon it. The fire was only
smouldering, and when gas from the
coal oil generated, an explosion fol-
lowed that blew the bottom from the
can, and the blazing oil all over the
two children. <.-,-~
Girls Ran Out of Doors.
Screaming, the two girls ran OUT
doors towards the barn where the
father and other men were WORKING.
They were met before they got there,
and carried back to the house. They
were rolled in blankets until the flames
were extinguished.
DR.. Scanlon was hastily summoned
and what could be done to ease the
children's terrible pains, was done. un-
til he arrived.
For the older girl there was no
hope whatever from the very first, and
she died yesterday afternoon. For
Frances, tho she has less than an even
chance Of recovery. there is some hope.
1t was reported that she was some-
what better this morning
Mother Not at Home.
Mrs. Carter had spent the night
with friends at Clear Lake, accompan-
led by ar older daughter. Terrible, in
deed, was the shock to her when
messenger came with the word that her
two children were probably fatally
burned. Tho nearly Frustrated with
grief yesterday. she regained her COM
posture to some extent, and this morn
ing was bearing up well under her
burden Of grief. Mr.. Carter. too. was
deeply affected by the terrible accident,
tho at the time he and the other men
kept their composure, and did all that
could be done to extinguish the fire in
the girls clothing in the shortest pos
sible time. &
There was practically no, property
damage from the fire. the wood work
hardly catching fire from the explosion,
most of the oil striking the girls.
