By WILLIAM II. EVANS

By WILLIAM H. EVANS
Golf has given generously in men
and money to the great war that
Is being waged in France Long before
this country declared war on the Hun
hundreds of men in our golf clubs had
enlisted in service abroad as aviators,
Ambulance drivers and in Red Cross
work. And when the call came the golf
ers responded as no other sport has.
There are approximately 1000 golf
. courses in the country, and In every one
OF them you will find service flag or
q roll Of honor of the members In
service.
AS one of the old-fa shioned. frock-
coated Stetson-hattcd, arm-thrust'into-
the coat orators would have expressed
IT. From the rock-hound, sprucc-clad
coast OF Maine to the sunkissed sands
of Florida, from the wheat lands of the
Golden West to the. sand dunes of New
Jersey. and from the Great Lakes,
teemng with their millions of COM
merce they have gone to fight to make
the world safe for democracy.
Philadelphia has sent its share, and
scores of young golfers will be in the
quota that will leave for camp some
time in August.
