LUTHERAN WAR SERVICE
FUND RAISED QUICKLY
Systematic Efforts to Take Care OF
Spiritual Needs of Their Members
Provided.

THE TIMES is in receipt of lot of
data bearing upon an interesting and
successful campaign put on by the
Lutheran church to take care of the
spiritual welfare of soldiers and sail
ers belonging to their body. The work
had the endorsement of President Will
son, Vice President Marshall, the mem
bers of the cabinet and practically all
governors of the states, as well as
army and navy officers and religious
workers of other denomintions
The following is a summary of the
purpose for which the fund was rails
ed:
The campaign for $75O,OOO for war
time service on the part of the Luth-
Grams in America is focusing atten-
ton on the National Lutheran com
mission for soldiers and sailers we'll
fare is doing.
The saying has been that Lutherans
move deliberately. All Lutheran re-
cords were broken by the National
Lutheran commission. And men from
other denominations frankly admit
that the Lutherans in this case have
set a mark for them which is difficult
for them to equal
representatives from the different
Lutheran synods The singular, IN
precedented fact about the commits
sion is that in it are representatives
from every Lutheran body in Amer
lea so that it's work is backed and
made effective by ten million baptised
members in the Lutheran denomina-
ton.
This concentration of effort and en-
ergy in the problem most vital in
churchlife today was not attained at
first At first the various synods APP
pointed the own WAR Boards" to
take care of their smaller sphere of
interest without regard to the other
Lutheran bodies.
1t did not take long, however, to
drive home the fact that the task is
exceptional and that the very life and
future of the church is involved in it,
and that only the most heroic meas
ures will answer in the emergency
AT present there are 10000 Luther
an men with the colors That figure
is verified in two ways. The reports
of congregations to the National Lu-
theran commission headquarters in
Ne York give a fair idea of the per-
| CCnlcSt VI ultn WiiiOl nave lClA tiie
congregations The figures arrived at
in that way tally with the figures re-
sulting from an estimate reached by
using the number of men enlisted
the total church membership, the to-
tai population in the United States
and the census figures of men be-
tween the ages of 81 and 81. In many
sections of the country, Lutherans are
preponderant in the camps as relig
ious censuses show. Camp Dodge i
is claimed has over ten thousand Lu
theran soldiers. Similarly the camps
that house the men from Pennsylvani;
and the Mississippi valley states. l
finally means that over fifty percen
of the young manhood of Lutheran
congregations left home to go to TIL
camps, and that the men who are t.
make the congregations of tomorrow
are today in the service of the Uniter
States.
When these facts began to becom
clear to Lutheran leaders, they mad
provision at once to meet the situa
ton in as big a way as the emergenc,
called for.

CLOTHING DRIVE FOR
 BELGIANS AND FRENCH

Norwich people are called upon to do their part to provide for 5000 tons of clothing which the Red Cross wants to ship to the destitute people of oc- cupied Belgium and France.
 Five thousand tons of clothing is the objective of a drive to be conducted by the American Red Cross at the re- quest of Herbert c. Hoover, chairman of the Belgium relief commission, dur ing the week beginning Monday, Sept. 23. The clothing drive of the Red Cross last March brought in 5000 tons of garments, and it is estimated that at least as much more will be required to clothe the 100000 people in the occupied territory during the coming winter.
 As in the previous campaign, the clothing will be collected by the chap ters of the Red Cross throughout the United States, each chapter getting it's allotment. from it's division headquar- ters. There are thirteen of these di visions and each has already been ap- prised, by national headquarters in Washington of the amount of clothing its chapters are expected to produce. Every kind of garment, for all ages and both sexes, is urgently needed. Garments of strong materials are wanted, as they will be subjected to the hardest kind of wear F1imsy garments, ballroom dresses, high-heel- ed slippers, silk hats, straw hats and derbies which were donated in large quantities in the last clothing cam paign, will not be accepted. Such ar ticles would be of no use.
 In, his cable message to the Ameri- can Red Cross asking it to undertake the work. Mir. Hoover says that mill lions of men, women and children are facing shame, suffering, disease and some of them death for lack of cloth ing this winter
 They must be helped" he con- tinues. T hope the Red Cross will undertake a renewed campaign to ob- tain the clothing in America. It can come only from us. Your first cam paign yielded magnificent results, bringing in fully 5000 tons of clothing in good condition. But much more is needed if these war -ravaged people are to get through the winter in de- cency and safety. In the face of bru- t2l coercion and spiritual suffering they remain splendidly coura geous. This courage challenges our charity. Let us match the courage of Belgium with the generosity of America
 Garments for the French and Bel gians may be left at the Red Cross rooms in the Elks' home between the hours of 10 and 12.30 or and 4.30 any week day except Saturday, be- fore Sept. 2S.

 BE STRICTLY ENFORCED

Superintendent John M Champion Of the fish and game commission, au- thorizes Nhe statement that the state laws would be enforced by the com mission during the hunting season and that, in accordance with an under standing which he has had with F. w. Nelson, chief of the geological sur vey in Washington, the state Jaw will take precedence of the federal statute except that the enactment, which will provide for the smaller bag, shall be enforced.
 The duck shooting season opens Oc- toper l. and will continue until Jan. l, and will continue until January 15. The state authorities will be assisted in the enforcement of the law gov ern1ng duck shooting by federal off clals. The latter will be residents of this state. and will be appointed by the authorities in Washington on the
 recommendation of Superintendent Crampton. The latter has not select ed his list of nominees for federal ap- pointments, but expects to do so soon He will meet with the state game wardens at the game farm in Madi son Friday, and the matter of ap- pointments will be talked over.
 The federal officials will give spe- clai attention to the prevention of
 night shooting. They will patrol the | rivers. particularly the Connecticut and Housatonic: and also the haunts Of the ducks along the sound. Prose cut1ons arising out of arrests made
 by the federal officials will be tried | in the federal courts.
 The season for woodcock will oper October and end October 24. The members of the fish and game commission and Superintendent 1 Crampton conferred Monday in New | Raven on the enforcement of game laws. It was decided to enforce more stringently than eyer the Jaw against night shooting and insist that al

COLLEGE IS SHORT
 ITS SPANISH PROFESSOR

Miles of the Atlantic ocean and the stringent regulations of the United States law against incoming aliens just at present separate Senor Caesar 'B. Carral and the classes in Spanish he is scheduled to teach at Connecti- cut college at New London.
 Over there in Spain is Senor Car ral; over here in New London in a few days will be the senor's classes in Spanish, while President Marshall is laboring with Washington in the be- lief that by October he can get the Spanish teacher back to college to take up his courses with only slight delay
 Last June Senor Carral went home 10 Spain to settle up -de busir>ss in volving the estate Of relative. Now he can't get back. because, it is un- derstood, of a United States law ap- plying against the admission of aliens which covers him. But it is the hope of President Marshall that the Spanish professor can be restored to the col lege before long.

NEXT DRAFT NUMBERS
To COME sY MAI

TO COME, BY MAIL
 An entirely new system of reporting the order in which serial numbers are drawn in the new draft has been worked out by the war department and the press associations.
 The numbers will not be sent out over the wires as they were in the two previous drawings, but are to be mailed tt the papers under a tive-day release.
 This change was held necessary if newspapers were to be permitted equal opportunities Of printing the list in fun, as the press association ad vised the war department they could l not attempt to wire the numbers as l drawn
 General Crowder estimates that the number of pills holding the fates of | men will be so great on account of the heavy registration that it will require | 26 hours of steady drawing and rec l ording to complete the task. The num- bers are drawn as fast as they can be wired. as it was realized that the press | associations could not tie up wires for | that length of time without serious 1 detriment to news service. l The associations canvassed their | clients and learned that there was a very general demand for the full list | of numbers. The plan as worked out 1 provides for the wiring of the first F numbers which will be drawn from the big glass bowl by the secretary of war l General Growder, General March, the 1 chairnaen ard ranking minority mem
 bers of the senate and house commit tees on military affairs and other mo- 1 tables. These numbers will be sent | out at once over the wires The full list will be rushed from the capitol in takes" to the govern ! ment printing office and set up by a 1 special force. It will be rechecked al
 once to insure accuracy and the sheets given to the press associations and tc
 special correspondents desiring then l for mailing,
 While the drawings will be public a;
 before, to convince the American peo- pie of it's absolute fairness, a prohibi tion will be issued against publication of the numbers before the date of re- 1 lease.
 l The drawlngs will take place earl!
 in October.
