end of the race one eight oar shell toet the lead and finished few inches in advance of the others As this boat took the lead thousands of people re- marked upon the rythm of the stroke and the grace with which the men rowed. There was no hesitation, no flinching, no easing up on a single oar.
 After this boat crossed the line, the crew rowed over to the dock and every member of the crew except one stepped out. What had happened to him? Early in the race brass screw had worked loose in the footrest and had, during the race, gradually worked through the thin sole of his shoe, penetrated the skin, entered the flesh and finally en- bedded itself in the bone of the boys heel He had to be yanked loose from the boat. Imagine, if you can, the pain he suffered during the four mile race and yet not once did he fail to throw all his power into the stroke that was to win the race.
 This boy is not an exception; he is one of a million young men who are going to the front Every one of these fellows will stick whether he faces machine guns or the cold steel of the bayonet. But this is not the important question. We have undertaken a task in this enrolment campaign. Our task is to see that every other person stick to his task, which is to supply these fighting boys of America with suf- flcient wholesome food to enable them to fight as We know they can fight and will fight, providing they are Loyalty backed by the people at home.
 The campaign is almost here. This IS the time when every person is going to make his great drive. This is the time when we are going to know just how many American samilies are going to back the boys at the front This is the time when we are going to find out who sticks and who quits.
 Let us assume our responsibility, not in part, but in full. Let us see to it that every family in our country or city enrolls No matter what our en- agreements no matter what the wealth CT may be, no matter now much money we might earn during the time that We will have to give up to this work, let everyone be true patriot and join the ranks of these who pledged them selves to stick; to see it through; to fight it out and not quit
 Reports from all through the .south and central west and the northwest indlcate that this is going to be one of the greatest national campaigns in the history of the country. Your state has furnished its proportion of young men, Your state will pledge it's full propor- tion of families committed to food con- servation. There is no apathy in your part of the country, and we know that you do not want it. You are called to duty, you ale going 70 respond for your country and for your boys

In these stirring days when our country faces the most colossal task in its entire history, the spirit and deter imitation with which every man does his bit may prove to be the turning point of the war Nothing should be left undone to save our boys who are going to the front On the other hand, there is not boy who is going to the front that will not give all that he has. even life itself to preserve the honor and integrity of the nation under whose banner he fights.

"WAS NOT DRAFTED"

Washington, June 18.-There's a
little spot in Ireland that Michael
Mcnamara had in his "moind's eye"
for a long time-thirty years, in
fact. All that time Michael was obey
ing orders, drilling, campaigning,
and doing the hundred-and-one
things that fall to the lot of the
American Marine.
Michael finished his time, retiring
with the rank of "Sarjint major, no
less," and went back to that little
spot in County Mayo.
Then came our participation in
the war. Did Michael stay retired?
He did not! He came right back on
the s. s. st. Louis paying his own
fare, and went directly to the U. S.
Marine Corps Headquarters to vol
unteer his services.
McNamara could have signed-up
with some Irish regiment for, des-
pite his fifty-odd years. he is still a
"foine broth av boy" Instead, he
braved the submarines to fight un-
der the flag that for thirty years he
had called his own.
Michael has bit Of the stuff Of
which loyal Americans and heroes
are made.

PATTERSON CRAYS
DEFEAT COMPANY "C'

The drawing card at Deepwater
Park Sunday was q clash between
the baseball aspirants of Company
&C" and the fast bunch of semi-pros
wearing the Patterson uniform. The
Grays carried off the honors by a
score of Z to 4. A goodly attendance
witnessed the contest and both teams
were favorites with grandstand and
bleachers. Company &C" fans con-
ceded the game before it was called
and the four scores netted by the
soldier boys shows that they played
gamely in the face of expected de-
feat. Moore and Cavanaugh did bat
terry work for the khaki and Ducate
and Olivier for the Grays. Ten hits
were garnered by the Patterson boys
while Olivier donated but seven.
Sergeant Hollenbeck and Mr.. c. c.

Be Preserved Says Message
to Venizelos

Paris, June 17.-Premier Bibot
has sent the following message to
Eliptherios Venizelos, ex-premier
and head Of the provisional govern
ment at Saloniki: I'm confiding to
France the mission to take in their
name measures to facilitate the re-
turn by the Greek people to the un-
ity they helped to found, the pro-
powers desired to show that
the principles that inspired them a
century ago, when the heroes of the
war Of independence shed their
blood to assure Greece q place
among the free nations, have re-
mained unaltered through the vicis-
situdes Of history.
"Who could better appreciate the
concern with which the three pro-
tecting powers were animated and
their firm resolution to assure the
destines of Greece in the traditional
path that led to its grandeur than
the eminent leader whose generous
ardor and disinterested courage, no
less than his political foresight, re-
newed the internal life of the Greek
people and realized most of their
legitimate desires for expansion?
Nothing could better respond to
the deepest sentiments of the French
people than to be so intimately as
sociated with the great national
movement which will be pursued with
the support of the protecting powers
by those who in the difficult hours
never doubted them and were able
to prepare for the triumph of free
institutions.
