Catholic Church Will
Cooperate in Observing
October IL as Liberty Day

AS means of properly celebrating
October II as Liberty Day. Bishop
Philip r. McDevitt of the Harrisburg
Diocese, the Roman Catholic Church,
has asked parishioners of the diocese
to support literally the Liberty Loan
campaign. In a letter to every priest
in the diocese made public this
morning, the Bishop writes:
His EXcellency the President has
named the historic twelfth of Oc-
tober as Liberty Day. He requests
that becoming ceremonies should
mark the anniversary of the Discov-
cry of America, and that the occasion
should stimulate generous subscrip-
tions to the Fourth Liberty Loan.
May | ask you to urge your con-
gregation to carry out actively and
heartily the proposal of the Presi-
dent, by assuming their proportion
ate share of the mighty burden which
the Government is now sustaining? ?
The men of the Army and Navy are
Offering their lives in the service of
the country. The least the civilians
at home should do is to place their
money at the disposal of the Gov
eminent. This offer should be made
promptly and cheerfully, because the
Government promises to pay inter-
est on all loans and to return the
principal, though it could, in nation
al crisis, demand the money and prop
erty of ever citizen without the as
surance of compensation in the fu-
ture.

Don't climb over fences with your
gun or lean it against a tree until
you get over. Put it through the
fence and on the ground. business end

Don't hunt with any one that you
know to be careless. Carelessness
with three and a quarter drains of
powder behind and one and ONE
eighth ounces of shot is inviting
sure death"
Don't load your gun until you are
actually ready for business At all
other times it should be empty. Keep
your finger off the trigger until you
are looking down the barrel at your
game.
Don't use a cheap gun, as it is apt
to explode when heavy charge is
used.
Don't borrow a dog or gun or loan
either.
Don't rest on the muzzle of your
gun.
Don't violate the game laws. 1t is
not only criminal but sometimes very
costly.

some for the next fellow.
Don't rest the muzzle of your gun
on the ground. a gun muzzle clogged
with dirt or mud is a dangerous pro
position.

DON'TS FOR GUNNERS

Every year the hunting season
brings with it its spoils jim the form
of human sacrifices. For the benefit
of gunners who are going after game
this fall the following list of don'ts
= given:
Don't take any chances. The func-
lion of shot gun is to scatter shot.
but be very careful where you scat
ter ii.
Don't blaze away in haste and
don't get excited. Many n shooter has
filled his favorite dog full of lead just
because he was over-anxious.
Don't point a gun at any person
in jest. 1t is always the gun that
"we didn't know was loaded" that
goes off and does the damage. The
only time to point a gun is when you
intend to kill.
Don't take every rustic of a bush
or a bough to be a sure indication of
game. Remember sometimes an in
quisitive person has a penchant for
being in strange places.
Don't carry loaded gun through
the street or on cars. trains, automo-
biles or any other kind of vehicle. or
leave it around farm houses to have
some child playfully blow head off.
Don't get excited and shoot with
out making sure your object is game.
Don't shoot until you see the rabbit,
and then be sure that he is clear OF
both man and dog.

Washington, October Z. - Football
will be one of the most popular
sports in the various army and navy
training camps this autumn, If re-
ports received by the War and
Navy Departments Commission on
Training Camp Activities from the
athletic directors are any criterion.
Many colleges and preparatory
schools have announced that foot
ball will be tabooed so far as academic
and collegiate matches are concern
ed. Most of the college football
stars of previous years have enter
- the service, and as a result the
training Camp Commission athletic
directors are making extensive plans
~ utilize these men in the forma-
mental and company elevens.
nlthough the galaxy, of former
college football stars that twinkled
various Naval Station elevens has
ceased to shine, many players being
transferred to active SEA service, ath-
letic directors are confident that the
teams will be even better than a year
ego.
W preliminary reports, received by
waiter Camp. head of the Athletic
DIVISION Of the Navy Commission on
clear that football will form the
principal feature of the fall program
for sports in every Naval Station from
Machias. Maine. to Miami. Florida,
on the Atlantic Seaboard. and from
Puget Sound, Washington, to San
Diego. California. on the Pacific Slope.
Installed in~the Naval Station by
Mr.. Camp as athletic directors are a
dozen coaches whose names are fa-
miliar to followers of the gridiron
sport. Calls for preliminary prac-
tice have been issued by these
coaches, and from all accounts the

"Whistling Fish" at
Camp Logan, Writes
Friend to 7. Marshall

Deep sea fishing with the boys
at Camp Logan, Corporal Matt M.
Simon, of Chicago, writes from
Houston, Tex, of a fishing trip en-
joyed by three "Sammies" from the
122d Field Artillery, at Seabrooke,
about 32 miles from Houston, a very
popular fishing resort. He writes as
fiuently of his catches as an old
timed descendant of Ike Walton
could reel off around country store.
I'VE had a bully ride over wonder
full roads, got to Kema about 10
O'Clock, were ferried across the
channel of C,ear Creek. A big string
of fish had been caught, but that did
not stop us from gathering some
shrimps, which are most excellent
bait. renting couple of poles and a
boat, hieing away to the fishing
grounds keen for the fray. We pull
ed near the shore and located a
beautiful iridescent jelly fish, which
we at once captured with a landing
net and photographed, this is to be
marked Exhibit "A and introduced
as evidence. We caught founders,
which, as you know, are fiat with
both eyes on one side, speckled trout
and sheephead. We were most in
dating and we soon had a bountiful
string of fish. The catching of the
scaled boys afforded us excellent
sport, as this was our first expert
ence in salt water fishing. We had
a most enjoyable dinner, the piece
de resistance was crab gumbo, this
being the first time l had eaten
crab meat in any form. Between now
and the next time 1 am introduced
to this delicacy, L propose taking a
series of lessons in safe cracking,
that l may be able to separate the
crab from his armor. Crab gumbo
seems to be a popular Southern dish.
Our meal was then composed of a
series of courses of fish, assorted,
cooked in numerous ways. Fish eat
ing was my long suit, but 1 did JUS
tice to this shore dinner. We again
tished during the afternoon, but our
only catch was a blow fish, which,
when taken from the water, puffs
up like pouter pigeon, accompany
ing the imitation with a subdued
whistle as though calling attention
to his act. Our leave of absence be-
ing limited it was necessary to cut
short our fishing trip, which will go
down in my mental history as one
of the red letter days of our lives.
VIII soon be over there throwing a
harpoon into the 'Boches, and hope
to be in at the final round up, when
the Yankees will be utilizing Berlin
as a pleasure resort. Send me your
articles; enjoy reading them. You
have number of friends in the old
122d Field Artillery who will be glad
to read your dope sheet and hear
from you indirectly. Luck to you,

Jake Daubert Loses
Claim Against Brooklyn
For $3.50 Salary

New York, Oct. Jake Dau-
bert's claim against the Brooklyn
baseball club for s2.150 salary
due to the termination of his con-
tract on September 2 instead of
October IA. as originally provid-
ed. has been denied by the Ma
tional Commission. Daubert car
ried his contention TO the COM
mission Immediately after the
playing season ended on Labor
Day.
Garry Hermann and B. 3.
Johnson, acting for that body.
dismissed the claim on the
grounds that the Brooklyn club
was forced to suspend as the re-
suit of a government order end
ing the activities of the club.
Daubert submitted evidence
which showed he held a contract
covering a five-Near period from
1914 to 1918 at a salary of $4,000
a season. On September he
was paid S2O2, which, with pre-
vious payments, totaled S6,S
for the 1918 season to that date.
He filed claim with the National
Commission for the difference be-
tween the sum and $4,000.

Home Democrats to
Support Sproul

a significant newspaper dispatch
has come ont of Chester, the home of
Senator William c. Sproul. 1t says IN
part:
Many of those who have helped
to direct the deliberations of the
Democratic organizations in Della
ware county foc years have come out
openly for Senator William c.
Sproul, the Republican candidate for
governor. Thomas F. Feeley. a DEM
ocratic county commissioner, and Il
warm personal friend of Judge Bon
niwell, has announced that he will
vote for Senator Sproul ut the cleo
ton next month. Feeley agreed TO
support Bonniwell at the primaries,
but announced that in the event of
Senator Sprouts nomination he
would be for the Delaware county
man at the general election: that he
would not only vote for him at the
polls, but would work for him prior
to election day and Feeley has kept
his word.
John s. Gregg nominated by the
Democrats for the Assembly to repre-
sent the Chester district has also de-
clared himself for Senator Sproul.
while hundreds of others. more or
less prominent in the councils of :he
local organization, declare they can
not countenance Bonniwelrs plat
form and for the first time in their
ives will cut the head of their ticket
and vote for Il Republican.
Evidently Sproul will have no ac-
tive organized Democratic opposition
whatever. The Delaware county
Democratic executive committee has
not held a meeting in months and
the members of the committee will
take no united fight for their chief
candidate"

up the names unnecessarily.
General March explained that be-
cause of communication difficulties
in France and the extent of the
fighting there is some delay in
checking up at organization head
quarters and at receiving stations
and hospitals back of the lines. He
pointed out, however, that, although
Just across the channel from the
theater of war, England experiences
a delay Of approximately four weeks
in making public casualty lists, less
complete than those given out in
this country.
There was nothing, Senators said
after the conference, to indicate the
extent of the American casualties in
battles now raging. Reports re-
ceived by the department show
that the fighting has been intense
and that the German resistance on
the American front near Verdun
was stiffening as a result of the
sending forward of heavy reinforce
ments.
Since General Foch began his of
fensive on July IS, the Senators
were told, the Allies have recovered
between twenty and twenty-five per
cent. of the territory held by the
Germans.
