CRITICISED mrs. GAIT
FOR WEDDING FiNERY

The Rev. Bouck White, pastor of the
Church Of the Social Revolution, OF
New York. made an attack last Sunday
in his church at Forty-second Street
and Sixth Avenue on Mrs. Norman
Gait, the Presidents fiancee, charging
principally that she had been extravag-
ant in the purchase of her trousseau.
The Rev. Mr.. White said that Presi-
dent Wilson was not a statesman ST the
caliber required by the events of today,
and that his failure to measure up to
the needs of the time was proved by
the fact that his fiancee had bought a
trousseau alleged to be elaborate.
Mrs Gait willhave many imitators. :"
he said. THE dressmaker will now be
an incr easing factor Feminine fashion
will play its part more and more i'm
portantly in augmenting the economic
pressure on men. Trade smens' wives
will follow the example OF the first lady
of the land and will exact from their
husbands an expenditure that will nag
him into slave oppression over the men
in his employ. Clerks will in the same
way be pressed to falsify their &C.
counts and the wave Of crime will mount
still higher.
The following is the telegram sent by
the committee:
Mrs. Norman Gait, care of the White
House, Washington, ID. &.
Our preacher, Bouck White. at the
Church of the Social Revolution preach
ed today on this topic: MRS. Calls
Trouseau in Cgtatrophic Era" He
showed the critical nature of our day
due to the inOrdinate dollar hunger
whereby nation is flung against nation
in bloody war, which spirit of warfare
will, unless checked, destroy Christen-
dom.
This dollar hunger among the men is
caused in large part by the craving of
women for millinery and dressmakmg
display. If newspaper reports are au-
thentlc. you are setting an example
which will intensity the feminine craze
for exterior finery and industrial OPP
preston of employees.

GOOD WILL.

Whether the song of the angels was
Peace and good will. or Peace to men of
good will, we are not concerned to dis
cuss. Whichever it is. and was. is a
matter of no concern, for they are both
one. 1t was Peace and good will just
the same, and to the same people, for
there is no peace to them not of good
will; and to those of good will there is
ever peace.
What benediction of peace the ad-
vent brought to the world Then it be-.
gan, a slender rill of peace. like the smile
on the Maid Mothers face as she bent
over the Child; but that rill was to be-
come river and then an ocean of peace
to flood the whole earth. even as the
Mothers smile was to spread ringing
armament of joy over every family of
man to whom the Christmas message
was to come Those angels that filled
the shepherds ears and hearts with SOL
emn rapture were to sound a wider
cadence heard the world around. calling
Truth and Justice to descend and dwell
with men till Heavens high palace hall
shall open wide her gates as in high
festival of peace and praise.
And yet the world is still seeking
peace with the sword. But it is much
that peace is the purpose, tho sought
with smoking enginery of war.

Of sleep. My friends became alarmed
about me. My nerves were in II dread
full shape and | had no strength.
II decided to try Tanlac because |
had heard so many people say it had
helped them. am frank to say
didn't expect it would do me much
good, but in that was agreeably sur
prised. had been taking it a very
short time when my appetite came
back. sleep as peacefully now as a

GRATITUDE.

Soon we are to lay aside business
worries and cares of every sort that
We may be happy on Christmas Day.
Can we not give a thought-a material
thought-to the soldiers in the trenches
at this glad Yuletide season? Can we
not do a little something TO tighten the
burden and give share Of brightness
to the men who are fighting for life and
freedom? We refer TO the soldiers Of
the Army of France, II is but natural
that we should feel closer TO them than
TO any Of the European fighting forces.
II is the defendants of the men who
fought shoulder TO shoulder with our
own in the dark and trying Revolution
ary days who are fighting today for
the very existence Of France. They
came to us when most We needed help.
and they helped US win our freedom.
Ii is not force of arms we ask for the
Army of France; it is but the small
generosity of Americans who are CRATE
full, If they have good memories, it is
France we must thank for being free
today. for owning the divine privileges
Of independent citizens, on the dawn
ing of this coming Christmas Day.
France was our salvation yesterday;
let US contribute in a small measure to
The Christmas good cheer Of the brave
men who ale defending France today.

At this glad season let US forget the
track of the serpent across our dusty
paths and make it season of thanks

PLAY STATE CHAMPS
AT PARK TOMORROW

The Visilant football team will enter
the Maryland independent State cham.
pionship Sunday when they meet the
crack West Park Athletic Club eleven
from the Monumental City. The West
Park team has won four games in the
State title series and will bring to this
city tomorrow the best team that has
ever represented the Monumental City
here on a gridiron.
The West Side clubmen are a we'll
drilled team and are looked upon by the
Baltimore gridiron fans as being the
logical champion in the independent
ranks in the State Of Maryland The
Monumental City team has won most of
its games this season by the aerial route
although their average is over 10
pounds. In the four games which they
have played this year the forward pass
has been big factor. and it is this style
of game which they will use against the
local champs tomorrow.
The ViGilants have been greatly
strengthened since their victory over the
Reina Mercedes Sailors from Annapolis
last Sunday. "Shag" Rawlings, who has
been added to the local back field. has
proven to be a great running mate for
Derby and Farmer. This game will be
called II o'clock at the Vigiiant Park.

AN ALL-STAR ELEVEN
To BATTLE RUTGERS
Hamilton Fish. Famous Crimson Star.
Selecting Team from Former Yale.
Tiger, and Princeton Players.

New York, Nov. 6-Hamilton Fish, the
former Harvard football player, IL or
ganizing an eleven Of former gridlron
stars to play Rutgers at the Polo
Grounds on Saturday. November Is. Most
OF the players will be | former Yale,
Princeton and Harvard varsity men. Rut-
gers tried to arrange a game in New
York with more than half a dozen teams
and offered them inviting financial guar
antees. but many OF the minor colleges
evidently did not care to go up against
the New Brunswick eleven.
II Fish gets all the players he Is plan
ming for, he will present a team which
ought to be able to sweep the gridiron
Of almost any team. Last year Fish or
ganized team Of stars and defeated the
Carlisle Indians at the Harvard stadium
by score Of thirteen to six. He plans
to have this years eleven even stronger
than last seasons aggregation.
Fish will play. and other players he
Is getting into line include: Charley
Brickley. Hsrvards brilliant kicker:
HOBBY Baker. the former Princeton cap
tain: Tack Hardwick, of last years Grim
son team; Crawford Blagden, the former
Harvard player; Art Howe. the old Yale
quarter back; John Fitzpatrick, the ex-
Yals end rush: Philbin, the former Yale
half back. and Vic Rennard. a former
Harvard kicker.
With that lineup the AIl-stars should
be able TO beat any team. and yet Rut-
gers will face them with a more extern
sive knowledge Of the modern game
Rutgers has been cunning for big game
all season. but without success. Among
the teams Rutgers tried to tempt to New
York with big guarantee were Colgate.
Wesleyan. Trinity and Washington and
jefferson. The W. e. ]. team played Rut-
gers here last year. and promised to
come again. but after beating Yale at
Me- Haven the Washington CPa.) eleven
decided to rest on these laurels Rutgers
went so far as to try to get the Univer-
sity OF Pittsburgh team here, but It also
ref ed. Dartmouth was also offered a
date in New York. but II was willing to
play Rutgers only in Hanover. Rutgers
has had an eleven during the last few
seasons which deserves games with some
Of the leading teams Coached by George
