Although Washington at the close
OF the weeks campaign for 800, 000. .0OO
fell short of its quota of $4,000, the
finance committee Of the District Red
Cross stands ready to raise not only
the full half million Immediately but
an equal amount for each year that
the war continues.

nounced Chairman Macfarland in a
letter to Henry P. Dawson, chairman
of the war council
When the subscriptions are all tSblu-
lated, 1t may be found that the
Capital was not far behind its quota,
as practically four-ffths of the entire
amount is assured. Other cities where
early returns indicated that the entire
amount had not been raised at the
close OF the campaign also sent
guarantees to complete their quotas.
Gifts to the District Red Cross fund
will continue to be received by the
newspapers, banks and trust COM
panies, and by members of the execu-
tive and finance committees.

BEST LAXATIVE FOR
LIVER AND BOWELS
Don't Stay COnstipated, Hcadachy,
Bilious, With Breath Bad or
Stomach Sour.

No odds how bad your liver, stom-
ach or bowels: how much your head
aches, how miserable and uncomfort-
able you are from cold, constipa-
tion, Indigestion, biiousness and slug
gish bowels-you always get relief
with Cascarets.
Don't let your stomach, liver and
bowels make you miserable. Take
Cascarets tonight; put an end to the
headache. biliousness, dizziness, nerv-
BUSINESS, sick, sour, gassy stomach,
bad cold, offensive breath and all other
distress; cleanse your inside organs
Of all the bile, gases and constipated
matter which is producing the misery.
A 1O-cent box means health, happi-
ness and clear head for months. All
druggists sell Cascarets. Don't for
get the children-their little insides
need a gentle cleansing, too.

Common garden sage brewed into a

Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
50-cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage

San Francisco, Oct. 6.-The strug-
gle for first place in the Pacific Coast
Baseball League continues so close
between the clubs of San Francisco
and Los Angeles that any slip on the
part of the San Franciscans will re-
suit in the loss of the lead of the
Bay City players. In the series
played between these two teams last
week, the Los Angelans took the ex-
ira game, thus lessening the small gap
between them by six points.
Salt Lake City, which, up to few
weeks ago, was equally in the run
ling for first honors, has been grad
ua'ly slipping back and appears to
ave about found its level for the
time being. The series it played last
week against Oakland was disas-
trous one, the Salt Lakers being able
TO win only one of the seven games
played.
Portland, leading the teams in the
second division, started the week only
a short distance behind Salt Lake
City and Manager McCredic can be
counted on to make determined eff
fort to break into the upper three.
Vernon has been hopelessly out of
the running for some time, but Oak
land still has time to make consid-
erable trouble for the four teams
leading it in the race. Oakland has
been playing like lot of amateurs
one week, only to come back the next
and play like champions, so rival
never can tell what is in
store for them.

The varsity team Of the University
of California has come in for some
rough treatment at the hands of the
critics since the season began. The
showing made thus far by the Blue
and Gold has been far from impress
sive, and the general criticism has
been that they have not been ground
ed in the rudiments of the game, par
ticular stress being laid on the poor
quality of their tackling.
While the various opponents which
they will meet this season also are
having their trials in the matter of
constructing a team out of new ma
terlai, there are no indications th,t
they arc lacking in the fundamenta S
and the opinion has been venture, d
that Coach Smiths men are likely to

Improvement in this respect.
AS compared with the Southern

Coach Smith is more or less handi-

gated to make his charges unlearn

The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1917-06-24
Washington's Volunteer,

The authorized strength of the
regular army of the United States
is 300,000 men. Since the declara-
ton of war 124, 900 men have volun-
teered, enlistment being for the
period Of the war. 1t is necessary
to secure 10000 more. It is evident
from these figures that the new
regular army will have a majority
of men who do not desire to become
professional soldiers but who have
enlisted for the war against Ger
many.
Under the law, the regulars can
be recruited from the list Of reg
istered men, from those who are
anxious not to be left at home by the
turn of the lottery wheel. But the
ranks can also be filled up from
among those who are excluded from
the registration lists. Young men
from eighteen to twenty years of
age, both inclusive, may volunteer,
and more mature men from thirty
one to forty. Here is the only
chance for the young fellows and the
older men who want to fight for their
country and for civilization.
The quota Of regulars to be fur
nished by the District is 662. Up to
June 81, there had zen enrolled 269,
leaving 1913 to fill up the Districts
full number. That means that Sc
must volunteer each day of the week
set aside by the President for this
purpose throughout the nation. The
patriotism of the District is thus
put to the test. Among the $4,000
young men between the ages Of
twenty-one and thirty, already reg
istered, among the thousands of men
excluded from the registration lists,
there should certainly be forthcom-
ing the necessary 1913. This is the
week. Now is the time. Enroll with
the volunteers.
