teachers to earn commissions in the
army is offered by call for 200 men
to qualify as instructors in the motor
transport corps. Veterans of oversee
service are training the motor trans
port corps but need many assistants.
The call is for men of mature years
and experience who are fitted to grasp
the non-technical knowledge essential
to the training Of men for service and
who can impart it TO others. Teach
ers, lawyers, district sales managers
and others accustomed to assimilating
new ideas and putting them to prac-
tical use will, it is thought, make fine
assistants.
Applicants will be given a two
months intensive training and will
then be commissioned and assigned to-
duty with a prospect of being sent to-
France later. The motor transport
corps will open about ten new army
schools in connection with various

nation. On account of his exacting
and increasing duties as Federal Food
Administrator ne stated he would be
unable in.the future to devote to the
business of the Council the time this

was led to take this step because of
his deep interest in the work of the

permit him to retain it and not
give it his undivided attention. The
Council was reluctant to accept his
resignation but felt constrained to
accede to his wishes.

UNITED DRIVE NOW ON
War Work Campaign Must
Garry On Its Big Work
Until Boys Get Home.

Peace-peace for which the world
has been fighting during the last
four years of bloodshed- is uppermost
in the minds Of the people today as
the victorious American and allied
armies attain triumph after triumph.
In this connection, many are ponder
ing the need of the S170, 900 which
the seven organizations allied in the
United War Work Campain are seek
ing in the campaign set for Nov. IL
Is.
The answer to that by Emerson Ella
of Madison, the General Foch Of the
campaign in Wisconsin, is that this
sum-to say nothing Of vastly aug
mented sum-Will be needed even
though peace is declared today, point
ing out that it wonld take at least
one or two years before Uncle Sans
warriors could possibly be returned to
this country after rehabilitation had
been commenced. Not only that,
emphasizes State Executive Chair
man Ella, but this period of demobil-
iZing the armies of the United States
will be the most, critical of any inso-
far as the morals of our men are con-
,cerned. With the tension of the bat
tie field lessened, with temptations
augmented thru the added leisure
time of the men and with drill re-
Taxed materially, the need to keep
them from alluring evils is greater
than during the most strenuous days
Of battle. Entertainment, athletics
and educational facilities will be
more in need Of being provided by
the army Y. M. G. A., the Knights of
Columbus, the Salvation Army and
the other agencies merged in the
present campaign, to greater extent
than at any previous period.
1t is imperative that this social
welfare work be kept up until the
very moment when the troops are re-
turned to their own homes We
must not only keep these sterling
warriors under the. Stars and Stripes
sit to fight" but must bring them
back home again so they may assume
their citizenship duties fer the high
est type Of service.
There is not the slightest reason to
fear that the millions are needed and
many more. And no matter how
many more may be needed, no
amount is too great for this ministry
TO on army and navy and the SOL
diers Of our allies ministry of help
fulness and unsel6shness and ready
self-sacritice such as the world has
never seen before. The glory of it is
the support on the part of the Amer
lean people has been voluntary such
an outpouring of money from altruis-
tic and patriotic motives as has no
parallel in history
On with the drive! Let lis go over
the Top. Make it two hundred and
fifty millions, so as to leave a margin
for emergencies. And make Wiscon-
sins contribution at least five mill
lions. a plus subscription of fifty per-
cent

Greatest Financial Event.

The United States Government
asked loan from the people of the
country of $4,000, 100000, an amount
unprecedented in all the history Of
the world In three weeks time, in
spite Of an epidemic of influenza
which prevented public meetings and
cost the people many millions of dol
lars in medical bills and lost time, and
in spite, too Of the peace rumors that
in some Instances had a tendency to
make the success Of Che loan seem less
vital, some 2l,000,000 OF the American
people offered to the Government S.
S66, 416, 300 Each Federal Reserve dis
trict oyersQbscribed its quota. Thous-
ands Of cities, towns and communities
over subscribed their quotas. Secre-
tary McAdoo says that the Fourth
Liberty Loan is the greatest single
event in financial history.
The F0uith Loan was called the
fighting loan; it is record of Ameri-
canism comparable with the record
that our soldiers on the battle fronts
and our sailors on the seas have made.
The people at home have given loyal
support to our fighting men.
Our soldiers hold every acre Of
ground they took. Let the people at
home hold every Liberty Bond they
have taken.
A Liberty Bond is a certificate of
patriotism; keep it to show to our boys
when they come back from Europe.

farmers know, bad weather conditions
have cut down the other crops, es-

one cause for the need of sending
more foodstuffs. The distance from

so much less time to ship food from

This means that our export supply

FiStic History

Jim Barry, one time heavyweight
pubilist, was born in this date in 1885,.
at Culbertson, Mont. For several
years he was a prominent white
hope" but never entirely delivered the
goods. About three years ago Barry
returned from England in the storage,
and enlivened the trip by several
fights and by setting fire to his mat
tress. On his arrival in New York
four policemen were required to get
him to a hospital At that time Barry
was a mental wreck from the cocaine
habit, which, it is said, had been
fastened upon him by a California
doctor who administered the drug for
several weeks while treating a smash
ed hand. Several months after arriv-
ing in the United States Jim declared
to break the hold of the habit, and
got a job as a fireman on a steamship,
making trips to England and South
Africa. He succeeded in Kidding him
self of the terrible craving, and re-
stored to mental and physical health,
tried to come back" in which he was
not very successful. Barry has fought
nearly all the best heavyweights of
the last decade, and has had no less
| than 16 ring battle with Sam Lang
ford

GIANTS LOSE
TO PHILLIES
Big League Teams Played
at Lighthouse Point
Yesterday.

New Haven, Conn, aug. 12-The
Phillies won the game here yesterday
afternoon from the Giants, to 0. 1t
was played at Lighthouse Point, a
summer resort five miles out Of the
city, and a big crowd attended. The
Giants were puzzled by the twirling
of the Philadelphia pitcher. They
made a total of only two hits on him
during the nine innings.
The Giants played an errorless
game and prevented the Phillies from
piling up larger score. What look
ed like a home run for Cravath in
the second inning, was prevented by
Without, who captured the ball near
the centre field pavilion. One Of the
features of the game was the excel
lent all round playing Of Without for
the Giants.
Cravath's batting was also a fea.
ture. The two runs made by the
Phillies in the fourth came from era.

HAL CHASE is
FIRED BY MATTY
Star First Baseman is Put
OFF Team for Remainder
of Season.

Cincinnati, o.. Aug. 12.---Hal Chase,
star first baseman for the Matmen,
has been fired from the Cincinnati
team. This became known yesterday
when 1t was announced after a con-
ference between Christy Mathewson
and Garry Hermann that the chair
man of the National Baseball Com
mission had suspended the player for
the rest of the season.
Chase previously had been suspend
ed for a short period by Mathewson,
but Hermann enlarged the suspen-
sion after hearing Of Chase's conduct
in recent games, and 1t was declared
by members of the team yesterday
that he never will don another Red
uniform. His in-and-out work the
past few weeks led Matty to investi-
gate his actions and he found Hal was
playing very indifferently at times and
not going at his best speed on several
occasions.
The concensus Of opinion among
baseball authorities last night is that
Chase's baseball career is over. Matt!
believes he. has absolute proof that
Chase was not trying on several &C.
casions and says he is done with him
forever"

Matty is Thirty-Eight
Years Old Today

Congratulations are due today to
two of the. greatest baseball players
in diamond history-Christoph
Mathewson. manager of the Cincin-
natl Reds and Napoleon Lajoie, pilO.
of the Indianapolis club. Matty will
pass his thirty-eighth milestone to-
day, and Napoleon will think back
to the happy day, twenty-five years
ago, when he made his big league
debut.
Lajoie was born in Woonsocket,
R. L, away back in the autumn of
rs and played his first professional
ball with Fall River in the New Eng
land League in 1896. He swatted
the leather for the comfortable aver
age of .429 which made him look
lies, and before the end of the first
season he was called to the Quaker
City. Lajoie made his big league
debut on Aug. IL, 1895, as a first
baseman. The following year he
played both the Initial bag and tho
outfield, and it was not until 1893
that the Frenchman was shifted to
second base, where he belonged. From
the first he was a mighty swatter, and
rarely ended a season under the 300
mark. He joined the Cleveland Maps
in 1902. Last year. as manager Of
the Toronto club, Napoleon COPIED
the pennant and at the beginning Of
this year too up his duties as car of
the Indianapolis outfit, the owners
of which offered him a big salary to
tack hold. For results, look at the
Standing of the Clubs"
Mathewson was born in Factory
vile, Pa, and began his career with
Norfolk, Va. in 1900. He came to
| the Giants the following year and re-
manned with the New York Nationals
for nearly fifteen years. Like Lajoie,
he was recognized as one of the
greatest players in his day, and one
of the greatest pitchers in the history
of the game. AS manager of the
Cincinnati Reds, Matty started of
the present season with a rush which
made him look like a sure winner
Cincinnati at present is in the second
division, and likely to stay there. Be
that as it may, no one will withhold
| from Matty hearty congratulations
| and better luck next time"

WELL|N NC TO MEET
Benny LEONARD
Manager Gibson Assures
Joe of Fight After Lewis
Meets Champion.

After all the hemming and having
about a yelling and Leonard match
for the lightweight championship of
the world, it seems certain now that
the pair will meet after all.
Harry Edwards, manager of the
Olympic A. A. in Philadelphia, has
made a bid for the bout, and Billy
Gibson, manager Of Leonard, has
given hisw ord that the hardy sailor
boy will get the first crack at the title
after Leonard has done with Ted
Lewis. Leonard in all probability will
agree to make the recognized weight
for yelling as Joe doesn't want any
strings dangling from the victory he
is so confident of.
A yelling and Leonard bout has
been talked of many, many times, but
because of the differences between
Jimmy Johnston and Billy Gibson it
seemed that the two would never face
each other. Not that Johnston and
yelling have parted and Joe has
thrown his fortunes in with Jack
Bulger, there is no real reason for
keeping the hard-hitting pair apart
further.
Edwards wanted Leonard to meet
yelling at the opening of the Olympia
on Aug. rs, but Gibson said that the
| Ted Lewis affair must be settled first
| yelling will not be idle on the even
| ing, however, for Johnny Dundee will
toe the mark with him.
According to the present under
| standing, Leonard and Lewis are to
be guaranteed $4,000, the champion
| to get $4,000 with a privilege of taking
down 35 per cent. of the gate, and
Lewis $4,000, or Is per cent. of the
receipts if he so elects. After the
| financial experience of those who pro.
NOTED the Dempsey and Fulton bout
it would seem that they are gultton!
| for punishment. Leonard and Lewis
may draw their guarantees and leave
enough for the promoters to count
profit. And then again they nigh
not.
From present indications boxinE
| isn't going to be any gold mine il
| New Jersey. Most of the gates have
fallen far below expectations. Whether
war conditions have interfered with
attendances or not is hard to say, bu
in any case there has been no sucf
outpouring of We faithful fanss as hat
been contemplated. The man who
will guarantee boxers in New Jerse.
is bold gambler, to say the least.
An add thing about the meeting
between Leonard and Lewis is tina
Jack Britton, a man who has me
them both, declares without any if!
ands that Leonard will brand Levi.
with a K. o. in five pounds. Ger.
tainly Jack ought to know if any mar
would. He has fought Lewis II times
and Leonard twice, and his prediction
that the lightweight champion will
turn the trick in short order leaves NJ
doubt as to where his respect lies
Certainly Leonard is the harder hit
ter, and it is the punch that Brittor
| is Stringing his faith to.

ZALLES CALLED
AGENT OF CHILE

Washington, Aug. 12-Peru's nerv-
BUSINESS regarding Chile and her in
tentions caused a scene in the nation
al congress of Peru recently, accord
ing to information received in Wash
ington through official channels, when
Don Juan Maria Zalles, former Sena-
tor and former diplomatic representa-
tive at Lima, was assailed as an
agent of Chile
Senior Zalles, who has always been
considered a great friend of Peru, was
accused of attempting the peaceful
conquest of Peru for the benefit of
Chile" in trying to purchase, as an
individual, extensive territory in the
Peruvian department of Moquehua
and Tacna Libre. His real object, il
was charged was to turn the property
over to Chile. He denied the charge
asserting that he was endeavoring to
purchase the pro perty for himself.
The charges against him, however, eff
fectually prevented the sale of lie
lands.
