Coleman last Moore was discharged without penalty while Fister fared not so well In paying the costs lu a case where he was the defendant. The trouble seems to have originated on Wednesday evening, when Fister called at the Moore home to express himself concerning certain tt'Ulmony given by Moore's little son In a caso against Mrs. Fister two v.eeks ago. As might have been ex-pectej the argument warmed, the visitor being alleged to have reached the point of calling the lad a liar. Moore struck the angry guest and the dispute was adjourned 10 'Squire Coleman's office.

Mrs. Moore charged Fister with uttering abusive and profane language, while her husband was defendant against accusations of assault and battery, preferred by Fister. The court concluded, from the evidence, that Moore was a fair subject for len lency In that he was defending his own home. Fister did not appear in so' favorable a light and was directed to pay the costs in the case against him. TO fillTPMDE Juniata will have a Hallowe'en parade.

THE SPOILS The combined German and Austro- They Started a Warm Debate 400 Years Aga. ITHE SALE GF INDULGENCES This Wat Resolutely Opposed by Luther as Unchristian Four Hun dredth Anniversary of the Reforma tlon to Be Widely Celebrated on Oct. 81 In Many Churches. When the crowds of worshipers In Wittenberg from all over Europe came to the Church they were astonished, to find nailed to the door an announcement of a debate. It was not unusual to find such announcements on the Church door, for It wns the University Bulletin Board.

Professors and students made their announcements there. But tills debate culled in question the very thing for which they had all come to Wittenberg the granting of lndul- geuces by the Church. Indulgences had been the custom in the Church for generations. They had gradually assumed a regular form and had finally become a business for raising money for Church purposes. A banking house in Germany, the ruggers, handled the sole there.

Indulgence was the remission of penalties Imposed by the Church before complete forgiveness of sin was received. If the peunltles were not paid for nil sins before death they had to be paid in Purgatory. Indulgences, however, could he bought for the dead, releasing theiu from their pains. It soon became "pay ypur money and do what you please." A Great Progressiva. This announcement of debate had been posted by Martin Luther, a monk of the order of Augustine Hermits.

He was professor at the University and had received a Doctor's degree. He was a progressive, alive to the is sues of the day. But most of nil he wns a man of conscience. He hod strusgled for years to attain pence with God, but had failed to find it through indulgences and the like. But when he put simple faith in Christ he found it, and after that he was the enemy of forms and empty observances.

When the Tope granted this indulgence Frederick, the ruler of Electoral Suxony, of which Wittenberg was the capital, forbade the agents of the Pope to indulgences in his territory. They came to nearby places and the people of Frederick's duchy went over the line and obtained them. The moral effect was bad. To clear up the whole question of indulgences, which was agitating everyoue more or less, Luther proposed this debate. The matter had never been taken up and settled by the Church authorities.

Printer's Ink. Luther's attitude was unmistakable. He wns opposed to the whole thing ns un-Christian. Many agreed with him. Martin Luther.

Many frowned. All read the theses with deep interest. They copied them. Some translated them from the Latin of the University Into the language of the people. Printers published hundreds of copies, and in a few weeks they were all over Europe.

The debate was held at every market place and wine shop, not at the University, as proposed. The Pope at first took it lightly, as a mere monkish quarrel. But when the Church was stirred everywhere and the income from the sale seriously threatened he tried to make Luther recant, but in vain. The posting of these theses on Oct 31, 1517, marks the beginning of the Reformation and the Era of Protestant Christianity. President Butler of Columbia University wrote to the New York Celebration Committee "To recall to the mind of the twentieth century the significance of the great movement known as the Reformation is valuable service.

If the world needed a religious and philosophical reformation In the sixteenth century in order to emancipate the Individual surely it needs a social arA nnlltlpfll rpfnrmnfrlnn in the twen tieth century for the same purpose." "It la most fitting that there should be some general celebration of the Four Hundredth Anniversary of the Reformation," writes President Hlb-ben of Princeton University. "This la a matter of interest and concern not only for the Lutheran churches of the country, but for all who draw their traditions and Inspiration from the work of Martin Luther." Raises Large Cabbage. One of the largest cabbages raised in a Blair county war garden was puf-on display yesterday in the window of the Penn Central office at 1412 Eleventh avenue.

Gun Division of Ordnance Department Needs Thousands Right Now Washington, 1). Oct. 21 In connection with the announced campaign of the Gun Division of the Army Ordnance Department, for an army of stenographers, typists, index and catalogue clerks-and other clerical assistants, it is interesting to observe the tremendous expansion necessitated in the ordnance department since the beginning of the war, particularly with regard to providing office accommodations for the clerical workers. It is impossible to give exactly the figures as to the number of employes because the recruiting of office workers for the "Civilian Personnel," as they are technically known, is going on every moment of the day. However, it is known that at the opening of the war there were some ninety odd members In the "Civilian Personnel" organization of the ordnance de partment stationed at Washington.

Today a little more than five months after the declaration of war, there are employed in the ordnance depart ment, in Washington alone, more than 1,800 office employes. The new esti mates recently presented to congress by Brig. General William A. Crozier, chief of ordnance, called for ad ditional such employes by the 30th of June, 1918. To provide offices for the enormous number of clerks has been one of the problems of the war department.

At the opening of the war the entire Washington office force of the ordnance department was confined to the suite of offices assigned to that bureau in the war and navy building. The mushroom like growth of the organization, however, has already caused the department to spread into three outside buildings. The ordnance department is now occupying the equivalent of four large office buildings and is looked forward to still greater expansion having in view the erection of a temporary structure and possibly an additional permanent building. The desire to bo in Washington in such stirring times seems to have swept over the entire country. At present the great number of young women who are in Washington in the government service as stenographers, typists, schedule clerks, is particularly noticeablo at noon and at the closing hour of the government offices.

They fill the sidewalks at these times and in the theatres in the evenings one sees them in groups. They apparently have come from all over the United States, many of them being in Washington for the first time, and they are enjoying hugely the many historical features of the city. While there are constant new comers the supply does not begin to keep up with the demand for stenographers and typists particularly, while general clerical aids and mechanical draftsmen are being asked for everywhere. Regular civil service channels have proved inadequate to produce the number required. This has resulted in each department endeavoring by its own efforts to recruit for its ranks the needed workers.

The Gun Division of the Ordnance Department has launched a vigorous campaign of its own to encourage the taking of the newly modified service examination by men and women who really wish to do their share for tile nation hut have not been fully informed how they may assist, in fact, a special force has been dedicated to this work and is sending inquiries broadcast for stenographers, typists, schedule, index catalogue clerks and mechanical draftsmen, all of whom are being asked to communicate with Room 608, Hooe Building.

Senior and junior classes of the Juniata high school introduced an innovation in going out of town to celebrate socially in masquerade. Three dozen of the higher class pupils in Hallowe'en costume swarmed to the borough of Bellwood, holding forth joyously in the Arcadian hall. The affair was well planned and, with Misses Phoebe Gettig and Margaret McClure, of the, faculty, as chaperons, the students performed socially with telling effect in pleasure. Games and music, with a touch of the terpsich-orean whirl and a plentiful spread of eats filled a program that lasted into the; first hours of another day.

The high school freshmen occupied the basement and lower hallway of the McKinley school building with a merry masquerade last night.
