Adopt Memorial

The church council Of First English
Lutheran church authorized the fol-
following memorial to Geo H. Knoll
lenberg:
The First English Lutheran church
is very greatly indebted to Mr..
George H. Knellenberg 1t was at his
instance and by the assistance of the
late Rev. J. ]. Young. D. D.. former
pastor OF ST. Paul's Lutheran church,
that the First Church was organized.
Mr.. Knollenberg early saw the neces-
sity Of organizing a purely English
speaking congregation, if the Luther
an church was to grow in this city, or
even hold what were the children of
Lutheran parentage. 1t is to his wise
| forethought that the present prosper
Gus state Of the Lutheran church in
Richmond is attributable. The First
church was the first effort of this Eng
lish extension, and Mr.. knollenberg,
not only advocated it's organization,
but gave much Of his time in promot-
! ing it, and also assisted financially
| until it was able to care for itself.
His fatherly solicitude for its welfare
| was very marked. and his advice and
counsel during it's early years were
by the new congregation.
I'VE, therefore, as congregation
wish to express our sorrow at the loss
by death of Mr.. Knollenberg, who had
through all the years of our existence
as congregation been our warmest
friend, yea, our father and guide In
time Of need and frailty. We honor
him for the life he lived. filled full /
of the spirit of the Master in unselfish
service to his fellow men. His prob
ity, Christian piety, industry, and I'M
selfish devotion to the Lutheran
church, which he dearly loved, we
recommend as splendid example for
emulation.
Therefore. be it resolved, That the
congregation of the First English Lu-
theran church sincerely mourns the i
death Of George Fl. Knollenberg, for
thereby it has lost one of the most /
godly examples of Christian brother !!
hood, and the cause of Christ, in the /
city, one of the staunchest and most
vigorous advocates. 1t will be diff /
fult to assuage the sorrow and pain in |
the hearts Of the members of his fam
lily, but we cannot point to any greater t
comforter than the same Christ, whom |
he so faithfully served throughout
all Of his eventful life. We therefore |
commend them to Him who said, "In !
the world We shall have tribulation,
but be of good cheer, l have over
come the world"
Congregation of the
First English Lutheran Church"

Is a century. that Christmas of 1913. A civiliza-

The world of 1913 has vanished, it may be

paralyzing suddenness. Christmas in 1914, 1915,
1915 and 1917 was no festival; it was day of
humiliation. fasting, and prayer. For the world

Remainder Are Guarding.

Paris.-The Echo de Paris, referring
to the distribution of enemy forces
on the different fronts, says:
"On the Franco-British front there
have been for several months past 152
German divisions, of which "a were
opposed by the British and the remain
der by the French. Following the re-
cent British offensive at Cambria, this
proportion was modified. There are
now exactly 1874 divisions on the
Franco-British front, each comprising
about $3.50 bayonets, and including
artillery, engineers, etc., or about l2,-
900 men in all, thus giving about =
100000 German combatants on the
Franco-British front.
Gin view of the uncertainty of what
Russian anarchy has in store for them,
the Germans have left about million
men on the Russo-Roumania front. AS
a matter Of fact, the movements ef-
fected have resulted not in q diminu-
ton of the number Of fighting units
on this front, but in their quality.
"On the Italian front Germany has
sent to the assistance Of the As Aus
trian divisions only seven divisions, or
about 100000 men.
"On the Balkan front she has sent
only 10000 combatants to re-einforce

70 GIVE DETAILS OF
CASUALTIES AT FRONT
American Red Cross Organizes
Bureau to Keep Relatives of
Soldiers Informed.

To give relatives Of American sol
diers details Of casualties at the front.
the American Red Cross has organized
at national headquarters bureau OF
communication, Of which William r.
Castle Jr., formerly assistant dean Of
Harvard college and editor of the
Harvard Graduates Magazine, Is d.
rector. This bureau supplements in
a personal and humanitarian way the
reports of the statistical division of
the war department which gives to rel
atives official notice when a soldier is
reported killed, wounded or missing.
The anxiety which naturally results
from the official report to relatives
that soldier has been wounded" or
is missing" will, as far as possible,
be dispelled by the bureau, which will
advise in detail the nature and extent
of the wound, and will gather evidence
from comrades in arms and at the hos
pitfalls and rest camps regarding those
reported missing"
Any information of interest or con-
ISOLATION to relatives thus obtained will

sonal letters, while messages from the
wounded will be conveyed through this
same agency.
The information on which the bu-
reau will base its reports is gathered
through a central Office in Paris, under
the direction of E. Gerry Chadwick
of New York, aided by Rev. Robert
Davis Of Englewood, N. j., and thirty
assistants stationed at the base hos
pitfalls and rest camps to which soldiers
are generally returned following i'm
pOrtant engagements.
With the increase of the American
forces and participation in the war,
this number will have to be greatly
increased. The information will for
the most part be forwarded from the
Paris Office to this country by mail.
For the present the bureau is report
ing on all cases that come to it's at
tention. However, it is probable that
with the increase Of reports from the
front, information will be sent only to
relatives requesting it, except in cases
of those imprisoned or reported miss
ing"
