RED CROSS ASKS ALL
TO RESPOND GENEROUSLY
Appeals For Help To Tighten Burden
OF Others.

In this great crisis in the history OF
the progress of the human race and
when the ideals Of democracy are be-
ing put TO the crucial test it is the
duty of every man and every woman
regardless of his or her station in life
to respond generously and enthusias-
tically 10 every call that is made for
service. in order that civilization may
be preserved and the menace of autoc-
racy may be forever removed.
Among the agencies which are rend-
ering invaluable service none has
done more TO alleviate suffering and
to tighten the heavy burdens which
the peoples of the allied nations are
carrying than has the Red Cross. If
this great organization is to carry on
its work to the fullest fruition it must
enroll within its membership all pa
triotic and liberty loving persons and
it must be supported financially by all
who believe in the ideals of democ-
racy.
Many people are denied the oppor-
tunity of bearing arms, but no one is
denied the opportunity of serving his
country and upholding its ideals.
He contributes in every possible
way to the success of those move
ments which support and sustain our
soldiers and sailors and which relieve
the distress and destitution of the de-
pendents of those who have gone to
the front to defend with their very
lives the principles upon which our
country is founded

Organization of the
Women's Naval Auxiliary

In all communities in the United
States where Red Cross Chapters are
organized, under the new plans of the
Navy Auxiliary of the Red Cross,
women who desire to work especially
for the men of the navy are being in
vitei to organize local Navy Auxiliar-
les to the Red Cross, this departure
having the approval of Secretary Dan
iels of the Navy.
This is in response to a wide
spread impulse among patriotic women
to contribute directly from their
stores of handiwork to the comfort
Of the men who sail the seas-tokens
of good will and affection from moth
ers, wives, sisters, sweethearts and
well wishers of American sailors
Each community, under the plans of
organization, is to have a local Navy
Auxiliary which will affiliate with the
local organized unit OF the Red Cross
and shall report and be responsible
to the Executive Committee of the
Chapter or the Branch under whose
jurisdiction it is.

officers and committee members shall
be members of the american Ma
tional Red Cross and Of the Chapter
or Branch within the local jurisdic-
ton.

BOW TO PENNSYLVANIA
Varsity lads Played Bang Up Game

Held LEAD ALI TIE WAY
Sailors Had Been Going Strong And
Defeat Is First Sustained In
Two Years.

The Navy basketball players sus-
tanned their FIRST defeat in two sea-
sons here Saturday afternoon when
they were forced to bow to the clever
work OF the quint OF the University
Of Pennsylvania The varsity boys
emerged victors after spiritedly
contested game by the score of % to
Is.
The game, as a whole was one Of
the best that has been played on the
armory court for a long time. The
rivals appeared to be completely prim-
ed for the battle and every inch OF
floor was keenly contested. IL early
became apparent that the Middies.
who have been going at lively cIip
during the other games played this
season, were in for real argument.
The first half closed with the Pennsyl-
Yanians on the long end OF a 10 TO s
score
Loyal admirers were confident that
the Middies would come. back strong
and pull victory out of the fire. The
Quakers, however, proved themselves
equal to every emergency and came
through by playing an even stronger
game in the final stanza.
The visitors had a little on the
Middies in every department OF the
game. Their team play, and par
ticularly the passing, was the best
that has been seen at the Academy in
long time, although the accuracy of
Sweeny in caging the ball from the
foul line was a big factor in the vic
tory He made the remarkable run
OF IA out of II chances, and a Gagged
goal from the cours Though there
was no undue roughness, the officials
were called upon to disquality Captain
Allen OF the Navy because he commit
ted the maximum number Of fouls al
lowed under the rules.
