$500, ,OOO War Fund
 Begun By Lutherans
Local Members of Augustana Synod to Participate;
 Mrs. L. J. Larson Entertains Iduna Art Circle

Because American Lutheran churches are the only Lutheran churches in the world not directly affected by the war, American leaders of the Lutheran World Con- vention are sponsoring an emergen- cy appeal to raise a fund of $500,- 900 for war relief.
 Most of this half million dollar fund will be used for the relief of Lutheran churches of Finland, and will be administered through the Lutheran church of Finland. Rev. Dr. Oscar c. MeeS of Canton, Ohio, director of the campaign, believes this is the most efficient way of distributing the funds, because the church there embraces all but about two per cent of the Finnish people. The head of the church in Finland, Archbishop Erkki Kaila, has plead ed for help for the urgent needs" of their people.
 Another part of the fund will be used for the relief of Lutheran missions, which have been cut off from all support because of the war. Approximately $15O,0O0 of the fund will be used for this purpose and includes missions in India, Africa, China and New Guinea. The work of these missions has been going on without interruption for more than 8 century-one actually dates back to 1706-and during this period hundreds of thousands have been won to the Christian church. Help will also continue to be given to refugees, who are constantly ar- irving in America. All income will be used for relief, as the whole cost of the appeal has already been un- derwritten.
 Churches of the Augustana Sy- nod and the United Lutheran church in Waterbury and vicinity will participate in this campaign, according to announcement by the Rev. E. Einar Kron, pastor of Zion Evangelical Lutheran church of Waterbury.
 Mrs. L. John Larson of Bronx avenue entertained the Iduna Art Circle of Zion Evangelical Luther an church last Monday evening. Mrs. Anna Thomas presided, and plans were made for a supper to be served after the Lenten season. Final plans for the food sale held on Friday q. o. today, Feb. 9 were made, and Mrs. John Wester, Mrs. John s. Larson and Mrs. Anna Wester volunteered to take charge of the sale. Mrs. John s. Larson invited the ladies to meet at her home in Oakville on Feb. 19.
 Among those in attendance at this meeting were Mrs. Elmer Se- verson, Mrs. Robert Feest, Mrs. An na Thomas, Mrs. Hannah Clausen, Mrs. Anna Gustafson, Mrs. Walter Rudolph, Mrs. John Wester, Mrs. John s. Larson, Rev. and Mrs. E.. Einar Kron, and Mrs. Signe Larson.

 RUSSIANS AID?

 miles south of Kopervik, said:
 1.-TWO German ships with cargo of arms for the Petsamo front, which were laid up in Kopervik for one week, have passed northward. It was sincerely hoped that no Norwe- gian pilot would take the ships northward but they finally succeed ed in getting two and proceeding"
 The newspaper followed this un- qualified dispatch with a Berlin newspaper denial that arms had been sent to Russia.
 The newspaper Dagbladet of Haugesun, 10 miles up the coast from Kopervik, in an editorial writ ten before the German ships sailed, expressed hope that they would fail to get pilots.
 The United Press Bergen corre- spondent who sent this information said the Dagbladet editorial reflect ed sentiment widely felt among She Norwegian public.
 (Gerrnans had denied reports of German aid to Russia as "weak British propaganda" The denials were based on earlier reports that two ships with artillery, small arms and ammunition were on the way to the Russian Arctic forces)
 As Scandinavian resentment in- creased against the German cain- paign of bombing and machine gum ming neutral shipping from the air, and Sweden showed anger over the Russian bombing o f Swedish steamship off the Aaland Islands, the Scandinavian countries seemed more open in their support of Fin land.
 Two Swedish fire brigades, with their own trucks and engines and all modern equipment, left Stock holm for Finland last night. They will go to danger centers to fight fires started by incendiary bombs from Russian airplanes.
 It was announced that so far 2,700 applications had been approved of a total of 5000 for service in Danish civilian workers corps to volunteer for essential work in Finland.
