Our Loans To Other Nations.

The United States has loaned to
other nations engaged in the war with
Germany something over three bill
ion dollars, taking for the sums ad-
vanced the obligations of such ma
tions, bearing the same interest and
maturing at the same time as the
Liberty Loan Bonds.
The wisdom Of this policy is beyond
question. BY strengthening these ma
tions and making them as powerful
and as effective as possible we are
greatly aiding In the shortening Of
the struggle; we are doing much to
insure an ultimate victory; we are
doing only that which 1t is our duty
to do toward our allies in this tre-
mendous war against an autocracy
which would debase and enslave all
nations and men.
The fact that If we did not advance
this money much Of the work which
the allies are doing would have to be
done with American money and A.
merican men establishes clearly the
Intelligence and wisdom Of our policy
There is work to be done which re-
quires the expenditure Of blood and
treasure. In making these money ad.
vances to Great Britain, France, Italy
and other nations we are lending
money which will be returned to us
instead of expending sums possibly as
great, possibly greater, with no hope
of return. In addition, we are saving
the lives of American soldiers.
No policy the American Govern
ment has pursued is wiser or more
truly economical and patriotic.

probable the Australian will have to
explain in court. Darcy is bent on a
match with AL Mccoy, the joke mid
dleweight champion. He would also
like to take on Chip, who is a second
or third rater.
OF all the present day middleweights
Gibbons is the only one who has the
classic style of the great fighters of
past days. He uses a straight right
hand with that downward chop which
made Joe Cans famous. He also has
fine right uppercut and a good left
jab. He varies the left jab with left
hook. These are all the punches any
fighter needs. They are the punches
used by that little marvel from Eng
land, Jem Driscoll, who was probably
the greatest fighter ever seen in the
United States.
I'VE are not challenging Darcy"
said Eddie Kane, Gibbons manager.
Let him come along and fight accord
ing to his contract. If he beats Mike
we will acknowledge him middleweight
champion of the world"

SWIMMERS HANG
UP NEW RECORD
One Day Brings Many Changes;
This Seasons Stars Went
Fast Pace

New York, March 3.-The record
breaking performance of American
swimmers at the recent aquatic carni-
val at Honolulu calls attention anew
to the remarkable improvement made
by Americans in this department of
sports in the past few years. Three
new worlds records were established
during the course of one days racing
with the result that more than so
per cent. of the standard records are
now held by swimmers of the States or
Hawaii.
All told there are thirty-three stand
ard events which carry worlds rec
ords recognized in the various coun-
tries where the sport is popular and
high speed swimmers developed. These
events range from fifty yards or about
the equivalent in meters to two miles
and are divided into bath or indoor
pool contests and open water competi-
tions.
In Bath Glass
In the bath class eighteen events are
listed while fifteen are found in the
open water division. This list does not
take into account odd distances, swim
ming on the back, plunge for distance
and similar contests.
OF the three new records made, two
displaced times previously held by
American swimmers, but when Ludy
LANCER of Los Angeles, Cal, won the
440-yard event in minutes II 35
seconds, he broke a record that has
stood on the books for some years to
the credit of the great Australian eX
pert Hieran. The latter's time over
the quarter-mile course in the Anti
podes was minutes % 1-5 seconds.
Although America now has a clear
lead in the total records, Australia
is a good second with England, Can
ada and Germany trailing.

want It understood that the school

Charlie" Farar, the Columbia bas-

night in putting crimp in Penn's in
tercollegfate pennant chances. Columbia
won by a score of 90 to 90. Farar's S
floor work as guard was an Interesting
feature. The fight will now be between
Yale and Princeton.
Early inquiries regarding the annual
State High School meet to be held in
Harrisburg during May, indicate an in
crease in number of entries. Since the

Athletic Association, and unusual inter
est is manifested In this years big

New York, March Mike Gibbons,
the great st. Paul middleweight,
makes the announcement that he
claims the middleweight championship
or the world, and he is ready for chal-
ienges of those Who think they can
peat him. Il don't want to seem con-
ceited about this matter" said he,
but l believe that most boxing ex-
perts regard me as the best middle
weight in the world. I am going to do
just what they did in the old days
under the London prize ring rules. 1
am going to claim the title, and will
be ready to defend it against all COM
ers. All L ask is that they weigh in
at 15S pounds, at 3 O'Clock of the day
OF the fight and that a suitable amount
be given me for my services"
For several weeks Gibbons has been
trying to get Les Darcy, the alleged
great fighter from Australia, into the
ring. Darcy's manager signed articles
for fight. but the brave Australian in
rage refused to have anything to do
with it. Manager O'Sullivan, in order

Strong defensive play and superb

Hassett School of Gymnastics five to
defeat the Juniata College quintet in
a fast and hard played game on the
Cathedral Hall floor. The final score
was 81 to 15.
The first half of the contest and the
opening ten minutes OF the second
period were very closely contested,
with the score seesawing back and
forth. Hassett got under way in the
final ten minutes and completely out

in the victory was the foul shooting
