Regarding newspaper advertts

'There seems to be an impress.
sion that the Treasury department
in the first Liberty Loan campaign
applied for free advertising or
paid for advertising in some papers
and not in others. The treasury
department did not, as it realizes
the newspapers only profitable

pecially now, in view of the high
cost of print paper.
Newspapers and press associa-

were devoted most generously. They
carried it's message into every home,
and deserve great praise for their
service of patriotism.
~'This information was given to
them in the most comprehensive

Subscribers to the recent $4,000,
100000 issue of liberty bonds and
intending subscribers to the second
liberty loan are interested in konw-
ing just how the money obtained il
used. A large amount of money is
necessary to maintain the Navy.
which has been called upon to de-
TEND our coast and our commerce
from attack.
To put the Navy on a war basis,
every ship in reserve had to be full
ly manned and commissioned.
Many auxiliary vessels also had t.
be added.
On April 6 there were 64,6SO en-
listed men; now there are more
than 10000. In addition, we
have enlisted more than $4,000 re.
serves and there are 10000 Nation
al Naval Volunteers in service.
Contracts have been placed for
every destroyer and submarine
chaser that the shipyards of the
country can build, and new records
are expected in construction. All
this is in addition to the $4,000
ton battleships; the five battle
cruisers of $4,000 tons each, the
largest and swiftest war vessels ev-
err built; the six scout cruisers and
many auxiliary craft for which we
have made contracts. These will
be built as early as possible, but
the right of way in construction
is being given to destroyers and
small craft.
Since The day war was declared
the Navy has patrolled our ow:.
coasts. For coast defenses, scores
of vessels have been secured
yachts, fishing vessels, fast motor
boats, and other minor craft, and
others are being added to this force

MOLI1A DEFEATED AGAIN.
And for the Third Time Her Con-
 uuerOr Is Miss Browne.

Boston, Aug. 1s.- Miss Mary Browne of California defeated Miss Molla Bjurstedt of Norway, the na- tional champion, in straight sets, in the final round of the women's singles, at the national patriotic doubles lawn tennis tournament at the LongWood Cricket Club yesterday.
 It was the third straight victory Miss Browne has scored over the na- tional champion this season.
 Miss Bjurstedt for the most part stayed in the back court, depending on her powerful forehand drives and speed, while Miss Browne went to the net frequently and played a far more varied game than her opponent. For a. while it seemed as if Miss Browne would be unequal to pulling out the second set, for her exertions told on her greatly. but she gathered herself together and decided the match With few sharp rallies at the net.

SARATOGA PROFITS 60 TO RED CROSS
Fund of S4,011 Raised for Relief
 Work Among Soldiers

Saratoga Springs, Aug. 1S,-All of the profits of the Saratoga associa- tion's racing yesterday were donated to the American Red Cross, and thev amounted to $4,011.50. In celebra- tion of the day there was the, Red Cross Handicap of a mile. and the entries that were sent out overnight promised real good race, but of the eight horses named six were scratched. and it only became a three horse race when Willis Sharpe Xiii mer added his good three-year-old Tom McTaggart.
 This proved sensible move on the part of MT. Kilmer, for Tom easily beat Wilfred Viaus recent pur- chase Westy Hogan and H. Perkins Dick Williams. AS feature it did not amount to much after such horses as Roamer, Manager Waite. Queen Errant Gillies. Crimper and King Herod had been withdrawn, but it served to give @ new line on both westy Hogan and Tom McTaggart.
 Westy Hogan was the one to cut out the running, but Schuttinger, who had the mount on Tom McTaggart, never permitted him to get far away, and then at the head of the stretch he made winning run at the Viau colt and through the stretch it was easy for him to come away. Dick Williams ran one of his dull races and he was lenths out of it all the way.
 The steeplechase of the afternoon was won by Mrs. T. J. Donohue's The Brook and the place went to wolferton IT. Samuel D. Riddles jumper was only in the place because Med. Henderson carelessly eased up Morton L. Schwartzs Great Hill when that end of the purse was easy for him. It was only a careless mistake, but Henderson paid dearly for it when he was suspended for the rest of the Saratoga meeting by the Stew ards.
 There were two run-ups during the afternoon After Reveller had won the opening dash for two-year-olds he was boosted from his entered price of $500 to $1,50O by J. M. Henry, Jr., but he was bought in for the Glen Riddles Farm stables by Billy Kar- rick for $1,505. The other run-up came in the last race of the day. when w. R. Mizells Dan was car- ried from $500 to 1000 by E. Dell- ing. but he, too. was protected and bought in.

Giants Given Drubbillg.

New York, Aug. 1s.-Little Miller Huggins got a grain of satisfaction but of the rough and tough Giants at he Polo Grounds yesterday after Eaoon. His Cardinals stopped the proud pacemakers by a score of 5 10 g. What pleased the Miller most was the overthrow of lanky Poll Per -itt, who has been in the bad books of hhe Mound City clan ever since he
 quitted the torrid town for city life.
 Poll was a-polling in the minds of
 many of the more viciously tempered
 fanatics These love victories first, last and all the time. They have neither sentiment nor artistic tem- iperament. They care nothing for Balance of competition. They would see the Giants two dozen kames ahead of the field than the dozen they are.

LEWIS 0UTp0INTS 0'D0WD
Welterweight Champion Shows Signs
 of Mikes Aggressivencss Before Bout Is Over But Captures Honors.

New York, Aug. 18.-Ted (Kid) Lewis, welterweight champion of the world, had a lead over Mike O'Dowd, of St. Paul, in rip-tearing ten-round bout at the St. Nicholas Rink last night.
 Although he weighed IA 3-4 to O'Dowd's 156, Ted many. times stood toe to toe and slugged with vim. The champion earned the honors by cleaner hitting, and Mikes left eye was bleeding in the last two rounds, but he was always forcing, and in a longer bout it might have been a dif- ferent story.
 In the first three rounds Lewis boxed rings around O'Dowd, sending swishing right uppercuts to the jaw as Mike rushed in, head down.
 But O'Dowd was in a quarrelsome citizen in the clinches. Nobody could accuse Mike of not putting up "heady" fight. His billet head was in the last half of the bout the well ter champion began to show the wear ing effects of this treatment
 The fourth was even, and the third was O'Dowd. The St. Paul batter got in several damaging rights to Ted's body, and Lewis paled under the pun ishment. O'Dowd's weight began to tell in the latter rounds, and Mike was fighting demon at this stage, ever boring in and challenging Lewis to stand up and slug with him.
