FIRST GAME OF SUNDAY
SCHOOL LEAGUE SERIES

The River Park Methodist Sunday
school baseball team defeated the
First Christian Sunday school team
of this city yesterday afternoon at
Pottawatomie park in the first game
of the new Sunday School league of
South Bend and Mishawaka. The
score was Il 10 :. A second game
was to have been played following
the above game between the Indi-
ana Avenue Christian Sunday school
team of South Bend and the First
Baptist team Of this city, but the
latter team failed to put in an ap-
pearance.
4 large number Of spectators
were out 10 see the game, which
was played with difficulty on ac-
count OF the rough condition of the
diamond. The players feel that
keeping the ball grounds at the
park in good condition for playing
is fully as essential as the proper
care of the tennis court, and it is
hoped by next Saturday an improve
ment along that line will have been
made.

Christian team and Hyde and Nc

URGES C0NSCRIP rs
TO ENLIST At ONCE
Capt. Ryan Sends Warning to
MiShawaka Men Eligible
to Draft.

A message Of grave importance TO
all men of Mishawaka within the
draft age and who are likely TO be
called for army service, has been
sent here TO Postmaster Herzog by
Capt. Ryan. in charge of the north
ern Indiana army recruiting district.
In the words of Capt. Ryan, he said:
Tell the Mishawaka boys, for
Gods sake. not to wait until they
are summoned Tor examination, but
TO enlist while they still have
chance 10 make a selection Of the
branch of service they may desire.
After a man receives his notice to
appear before the board for exami-
nation there is positively no chance
for him TO enlist. All choice branch
es of the service are rapidly filling
up and it will not be long until those
drafted will all be placed in the in
fantry Great advantages and pos
sibility of rapid advancement await
those who enlist now over those who
want TO wait hoping they will be
exempted on some petty excuse or
Will be overlooked entirely. The
latter class Of men are making the
mistake OF their lives. as they are
almost certain to be called sooner
of later if the war continues. More
than a hundred different trades, all
non-combatant. still require men.
These. however, will not remain open
much longer. I hope that the young
men Of Mishawaka who are eligible
70 the draft, will heed my warning
before it is too late"

MERRHIELD PARK.


Merritield park. purchased about
five years ago 10y the city at a cost
of between $4,000 and $4,000,
ideal in every respect for park pur-
poses. has not even a seat on its
broad eXpanse. and in consequence,
the crowds which sought to spend
last Sunday there with their families
were of necessity forced TO sit or lie
on the grass. Tax payers of the
city are asking and demanding 10
know why this is so. They argue,
and with some degree of reason,
that they are entitled TO r return
on their money which went towards
its purchase. True, nature has been
kind to Merrifeld park. Its shade
trees are magnificent. 1t 'snuggles

seph, which even in the hottest days
Of the summer watts a gentle and
generous breeze shoreward. 1t is a

the only one in the city which lends
easy access to the river.
An attempt was made about a
year ago to make a tennis court in

ENGLAND'S DEBT is
NEARLY 20 BILLIONS
Tax on Excess Profits Now Raised to
80 Per Cent as Against 90
Per Cent Last Year.

London, May 3.--England's present ma
tional debt il f3,s54 100000 tSlS,49o,-
100000, according to figures included in
the budget introduced in the House of
Commons yesterday by Chancellor of the
Exchequer Andrew Bonar Law.
To take care of this vast indebtedness
the budget presented yesterday carried
no new forms of taxation, but there
were three increases in the present sys-
TEN of raising money.
Among the increases was fixing of a
duty of so per cent on excess profits OF
manufacturers in England, as against 90
per cent carried in last years budget,
and an advance of shilling and 10
pence per pound sterling on tobacco.
"The present financial statement is on
scale absolutely unprecedented and I'M
dreamed of before" Chancellor Bonar
Law asserted. Since the war opened we
have advanced ESP 100000 (S3,945, 900.
000) to our allies and 9l42,O00,000
1851 900, 000) to our dominions."
BY increase of the tobacco duty, Bo-
mar Law said, the government expected
to increase the yield of money by
f6,0000O0 ($2s,s00,Oo0).
