seventy-fve girls in the Loyalty Club. and few

They had rugged up a stage at the back OF the
two principal rooms on the main floor OF
Christadora House. After a number OF songs
to the visitors had been suns the curtain rose
and disclosed q large portrait OF Rear Admire
Dewey draped with flags and moYnted OF an
personiiylnG Columbia, -Four more girls stood
at the sides OF the picture and waved flags. The
club. seated IN rows In front of the stage, burst
into this song. and sang 1t and shouted it until
the windows ratified:

Not Go to Porto Rico.

Washington. July l9.-It has been
finally decided that none of the troops

two reasons for this: First the men

TO be very bad practice tn allow the SOL

Therefore Skaters entire army IS to
