plan on foot to establish a Chestnut Hill
branch of the Organized League Tor

the interest already created there will
be a patriotic rally tomorrow afternoon
OF the Philadelphia Cricket Club, at 4
o'clock. to which all women have been
invited. Come and join others in estab'
fishing this league, then go and register
your particular qualification for service.
The rally will be one of the biggest
things Chestnut Hin has seen for some
