AMERICAN WOMEN
MOBILIZE FOR WAR
(By United Press)

WASHINGTON, May IL. - For
he first time in history uniformed
American women mobilized here to-
lay for the work Of war.
The occasion was the dedication Of
he new $S00,000 American Red Cross
building which was formally turned
Iver to President Wilson as the head
If that organization.
So busy is the Red Cross with war
work that it was found impossible
to suspend the activities for todays
exercises. Following the ceremonies
he public was permitted to inspect
the building, so far as that could be
lone without interfering with the
work on the inside.
Secretary of War Baker, ex-officlo
hartman OF the building commission
PRESENTED the building to President
Wilson in short speech, and the
President then reviewed the process
sion Of Red Cross women workers.
The structure Is built of dazzling
White Vermont marble and is Gcor-
,ian colonial in style. II was built
with money contributed by congress
nd coming in private subscriptions
rom Capt. James A. schrymser OF

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

Messrs. George, Ayres, Cordes and

their acceptance Of the challenge
made by the four ladies yesterday
and will arrange with them an early
late for the coDtest.
While these gentlemen are among
ehe best OF the bowlers in Durango
I is not likely that they can win. Tho
,owling fans are willing to back the
aides. Ii is not uncommon for the
aides TO make scores of 200 and it
is probable that if the gentlemen win
they viii have to make AN average
of more than 100. The fact that the
other challenge posted by the ladies
was not accepted will cause the spec
iators to give the ladies' their moral
support at the time of the contest.
This the men expect, but insist that
they will be in the game from the
start to the finish.

saw the last contingent from the IT,.

The war, like the Goth century, has
become specialists game. But the
Canadian system OF training for
which they openly thank the Ger

in every detail of the game. Every
