FOURTEEN ALTOONA TRIBUNE, SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 27, 1917. JUNIATA NEIGHBORS ANYWAY Counter informations between JerTy Moore and his wife versus Fister, neighbor on Third avenue, were aired before Justice D. D. last evening. Moore was charged without penalty while Fister fared not so well in paying the costs in a case where he was the defendant.

The trouble seems have inated on Wednesday evening, when Fister called at the Moore home to express himself concerning certain testimony given by Moore' little son case against Mrs. Fister two Weeks ago. As might have been the vis- pected the argument warmed, itor being alleged to have reached the point of calling the lad a liar. Moore struck the angry guest and the dispute was adjourned to 'Squire Coleman's office. Mrs.

Moore charged Fister with uttering abusive and profane language, while her husband defendant against accusations of assault and battery, preferred by Fister. The court concluded, from the evidence, that Moore was a fair subject for len iency 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 HAVE A PARADE Juniata will have a. Hallowe'en rade.

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 department stationed Washington. Today a little more than five months after the declaration of war, there are employed in the ordnance department, in Washington alone, more than 1,800 office employes.

The new estimates recently presented to congress by Brig. General William A. Crozier, chief of ordnance, called for 3,032 additional 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 the war the entire Washington office force of the ordnance department was confined to the suite of offices assigned to that bureau in the state, 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 ings 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 be 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 noticeable 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 civil service examination by men and who really wish to do their the nation women, but 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, i index catalogue clerks and cal draftsmen, all of whom are being asked to communicate with Room 608, Hooe Building, Gun Division, Ordnance Department, Washington, for particulars as to these positions.

J. F. An- This Was Resolutely Opposed by Luther as Unchristian-Four Hundredth Anniversary of the Reforma. tion 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 And nailed to the door an announcement of a debate. It was not unusual to find such announcements on the Church door, for it was the University Bulletin Board. Professors and students made their announcements there. But this debate called in question the very thing for which they had all come to Wittenberg--the granting of indulgences 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 Fuggers, handled the sale there. Indulgence was the remission of penalties imposed by the Church before complete forgiveness of sin was received. If the penalties were not paid for all sins before death they had to be paid in Purgatory. Indulgences, however, could be bought for the dead, releasing them from their pains.

It soon became "pay your money and do what you please." A Great Progressive. 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 issues of the day. But most of all he was a man of conscience.

He had struggled for years to attain peace 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 Pope granted this indulgence Frederick, the ruler of Electoral Saxony, of which Wittenberg was the capital, forbade the agents of the Pope to sell 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 everyone 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 was opposed to the whole thing as un-Christian.

Many agreed with him. Dr. 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 coples, 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 tion 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 political reformation in the twentieth century for the same purpose." "It is most fitting that there be some general celebration of the Four Hundredth Anniversary of the Reformation," writes President Elbben of Princeton University.

"This 18 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."
