YOUR PATRIOTIC

BUY A LIBERTY
BOND

Danger for the complete success
of the Liberty Loan turks in over-con-
fidence.
The announcements in the press of
large applications by Institutions and
men of great wealth are apt to en-
gender the comfortable feeling that
all will be we'll without the efforts of
the small subscribers. This line of
thought together with the idea that
through Observation-Disclosures al
lotments may not be made, must be
dispelled from the mind OF every pa
triotic citizen.
1t is not sufficient that this issue
should be merely bare success. 1t
must be striking demonstration of
the overwhelming strength Of purpose
animating all sincere friends of Lib
erty to bring the war to speedy and
successful termination.
The eyes of the enemy are watch
ing this preliminary skirmish and our
victory must be made effective by a
truly popular subscription exceeding
MANY TIMES the amount offered.
1t behooves every INDIVIDUAL to
let his action be entirely guarded by
the conviction that upon HIS UT
MOST PERSONAL EFFORT depends
the only result worthy of the great
cause which all free men desire and
INTEND to make triumphant. Hesi-
fancy as to the Importance Of the
amount available should not be al
lowed to prevail. The Bonds are in
denominations as low as $50, and all
purchasers of one of these will con-
tribute their quota towards swelling
the volume Of subscriptions.
No thought Of the detail work at
tendant upon subscribing to the loan
need deter. We will - as We have
already stated - attend to that free
Of any charge. All that Is necessary
Is that we receive notification Of the
amount desired.

1t is known that several of them are dis
satisfied with the amounts offered them.
In this list are five of last years team
and one recruit. who has been carried on

but farmed out during the summer.
The list is made up Of J. Hans Wagner.

fuss made speech; Max Carey. center
fielder. who has declared himself a free
agent and announced that he will not
play base ball in Pittsburgh next year:

Fischer, catcher, secured from the Cubs
last season, and Walter Schmidt. who
came to the Pirates a year ago from the

While it was announced ten days ago

The relay race between Harvard and
Princeton in the Hopkins meet last
night was brilliantly run. and events
of that character for local indoor
games would greatly enhance the at
forgiveness of the events in the pub
lie view. In the last two years there
have been too few relays between COL
leges in the indoor meets and they are
the best races possible as far as follow
ers of the sport are concerned. The
majority of spectators at a meet like
to see teams representing colleges in
well matched efforts of this character.
George Washington University Is
making preparations to prevent the
congestion of competitors at and near
he finish of the races in it's meet next
Friday night. The Hatchetites will
nave men patrolling the track and not
allow any runner to sit down at the
finish until his name is called for the
event in which he is to take part. This
not only will facilitate running of
the events. but will allow the specta-
tors to see the races.
The entire south stand has been re-
served for the George Washington stu
dents and rooters. The Hatchetites
hope to have a big crowd of supporters
in that section, as they figure on max
ing fine showing. With some capable
performers in the open events. and
with the acquisition of Birthright, the
former Central High star, the relay
ought to give Carlisle quite struggle.
Birthright has been at Cornell, but left
