Penn state contends with Dartmouth
1t Hanover.
Wisconsin's struggle with Minnesota
have direct bearing on the conference
championship. Considerable interest
will be manifested in each contest.
Aside from keen competition for the
conference title, great rivalry always
is evident in the games between these
teams. Wisconsin and Minnesota are
strongly opposed on the athletic fleld.
and SO are Chicago and Illinois. From
rivals could be got together than these
institutions.
Army-Notre DANES game will be
something in the nature of an inter
not yet met defeat, and the only loss
I that mars Notre Danes records is
7-to-o defeat at the hands Of Ne

Penn State leaves its homo to 60 into
the New England states to do battle
with Dartmouth: Tho Pennsylvanians
are weaker than usual and will go
against an eleven which seems to be
not ono whit less strong than 1t was

game with West Virginia demon
strates its power and Penn State win
have ito work cut out for it to get the
long end Of the count

ter will lend it's efforts to the task
of seeing that on Christmas Eve at
7:30 candle Is placed IN each win
dow behind this service flag, so that
on Christmas Eve there may be given
expression to the universal aspect of
the Red Cross. In order to lend still
further significance to this Red Cross
Christmas ceremony, it is suggested
that the chapter, as part of the
more detailed plans which follow, ar
range with the local churches to
chime their bells at 1870 on Christmas
Eve, at the hour when the candles
are lit, and that they continue their
Ginning at half-hour intervals until
300 p. m., which is the suggested
duration of this Christmas ceremony.
AS a further means of lending
beauty and significance to this cere-
mony, it is planned that in each COM
munity Red Cross workers will be
organized into groups to proceed
through each neil hborheed singing
Christmas carols.
In order that each chapter will
have every assistance possible in
bringing about this beautiful and sim
pie Christmas ceremony, a large part
of the publicity effort in the entire
campaign will be aimed at educating
the public to its significance. Posters
picturing the lighted candle on
Christmas Eve will be displayed; ;
other posters will explain it's signifi-
canoe in words.
Each Red Cross service flag dis
tributed will have instructions printed
on the back encouraging the member
to take part in the ceremony on
Christmas Eve by having a lighted
candle in his window. Newspaper
publicity will feature it. Pastors will
be asked to mention it in their SER
mon, and educational institutions will
be asked for the privilege of explain
ing to the children the significance of
the custom, so that they can lend
their influence to it's adoption in the
homes. 1t is expected that the de-
sire of the community to participate

owe want Red Cross of fifteen
million members. We want the
strength and support that will grow
from this army Of members.
"We have set Christmas time to at
tain this goal, because we believe that
the Red Cross and Christmas spring
from the same spirit, and we wish to
bring together these two great SYM
bols of mercy, sacrifice, and cheer.
To this, our first Christmas in the
war, we want the Red Cross symbol
to add not spirit of detection, but
the thought of serious purpose and
sacrifice which through accomplish
ment it represents.
"We hope that from this Christmas
campaign of 1917 will grow a perma-
nent custom which will increase the
significance of both Christmas and
the Red Cross"
Keynote of the Camnaign.
AS pointed out in the introduction
to this plan, it has been decided that
the greatest advantage would come
to the Red Cross and to the country
from linking together the spirit of the
Red Cross and the spirit of Christ
mas. In order to attain this purpose
the membership campaign was set for
the week prior to Christmas, and the
following plan was adopted as a basis
for developing concrete evidence at
Christmas time of the significance of
the Red Cross in the spirit and fcsti-
vities of the Christmas season.
A large number of our American
homes are today supporting, by their
contributions and by their toll, the
great task which the American Red
Cross has assumed. 1t has been
deemed proper that there should be
some distinguished mark to these
loyal Americans who are supporting
by money and action the great work
which the American Red Gross has
undertaken to perform for the sick,

Plans are in the making fJr drive
to be made in Anderson county dur
ing the week of December 18th for a
big increase in the members of the
Red Cross. This drive or campaign
is part of the big campaign to be
waged during that week throughout
the United States with the view of
increasing the national membership
from 100000 to 100000. The cam
paign is being directed by the War
Council of the American Red Cross,
which has issued the following state
ment for "a Red Cross Christmas"
"rhc War Council of the American
Red Cross has conceived that great
national purpose. will be served by
having membership in the Red Cross
almost as universal as citizenship.
although pledged as nation to
the national purpose during this
great crisis, it will not be granted to
a large percentage of us to play a
part in the fighting branches of our
country's service.
"All of us, however, can be identi-
fed with the Red Cross, which in
these times, when whole nations are
organized for warfare, is big enough
and strong enough to carry some of
the burden for our soldiers, our sail
ors and our allies

u. S. AIR FLEET WITHIN
SIGHT OF REALIZATION
Liberty Motors Being Turned Out in
:" Great Numbers, While American
Aviators Are in Training on Fight
ing Lines in Europe.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Proluction of
Liberty plane motors on a quantity
basis actually has begun, American
army aviators arc in training on the
fighting lines in Europe and the ma
tion is within sight Of realization of
the great air fleet project mapper
out since the United States entered
the war
Figures canotn be published, but it
became known today that members of
the air board, who returned recently
from an inspection trip to plants and
flying fields, are satisfied that another
sixty days will see men and machines
being turned out at rate that will
insure the ultimate success of their
plans.
The first machine~madc Liberty
motor was completed on Thanksgiv-
ing Day and a substantial number of
the machines will be delivered this
month. The machine-made product
has functioncd under test as satisfac-
torily as hand made motors first con-
structcd and SO far no important de-
feet in design has revealed itself.
Other plants will begin delivery of
machine made motors within few
weeks. One will have a capacity Of
several thousand completed motors a
month.
Meanwhile, training of the men for
aviators and observers and thousands
of mechanics needed to keep the hiers
in the air, are moving forward stead
lily, both at home and abroad.
1t is no secret, however that more
than 1000 candidates for the coveted
rank Of junior military aviators have
already been sent over seas. Prob
ably the number at work abroad is
far in evcess of that figure.

wounded and destitute. To that end
there will be distributed to every
chapter from division headquarters,
by December 1st, a transparent paper
sheet, suitable for posting in the
windows of homes, which shall bear
the Red Gross flag, and which will
provide space on which to- place a
|ismall Red Cross flag for each member
OF the household who is g member of
the American Red Cross.
1t is hoped that the chapters will
do everything possible immediately
upon receipt of these flags of service
TO distribute them to their present
membership. The flags should not be
sent out indiscfiminately to members,
but the active workers of the CHAPTER
should be encouraged to display them
IN the windows of their homes and to
use their influence as basis for get
ting other Red Cross members to
secure and display the same flag.
Emphasis placed behind this idea
between December 1st and the start
iof the membership campaign on De-
cember 18th will produce splendid
showing throughout the community of
these Red Cross service flags.
In the work of the enrolment,
throughout the Christmas campaign
each member secured will be given
one of these flags with the request
that he place it in the window of his
home and mark upon it the record of
each meinbers Of the Red Cross with
in that home. 1t is hoped that the
efforts of the chapters in this direc-
tion will be so earnest, that. the same
action will be taken by firms, by
stores, by banks, by large business
interests, manufacturing plants, etc.
to display flags which they can have
manufactured to indicate the full Red
Cross membership in the establish
ment.
Christmas Eve Ceremony.
The further idea that will probably
prove to be the most striking feature
Of this campaign is that, with every
home and every place Of business
marked with the Red Cross service
flag during Christmas week, the chap.
