SEWARD WINS BASKET BALL
 GAME EASILY

Full of pep, good fast playing and plenty of rootlng from the spectators to encourage the players there was a rattling good game of basket ball at the A. B. Hall last night. The game was between Seward and the S1st Engineers, boys on their way outside to join the Mear's regiment. Seward come out at the long end with score of 21 to the Engineers 1S.
 The game was little more than a practice game but it showed that Sew ard has the makings of rattling good team and there are other players yet to be heard from.
 Last night two fifteen minute halves were played and when the whistle sounded at the end of tn first half the score was tied, 9 to g.
 Both lives went at it when the whis- tie blew for the first half. Momb who was responsible for II of the points made for the Engineers seemed to be the center of the attack of the Sew ard bunch, and they kept him shoot ing baskets from the center of the floor and other things. The Seward boys worked hard in this half and made their points after energetic play. The locals, although all have been out of the game for years, thought of all the fine plays and put them in execution. Good team play and individual spurts won the game.
 With nine minutes of play left, and the score 13 to 12 in favor of the En- gineer bunch, Kenyon, who was be- coming winded, was replaced by Me

he line-up was as follows:
NOTES ON THE GAME

When that 225 pounder Reed goes against anything or anything goes against him there is an awful recoil' Talk about a stone wall-wow.
 Hatch is a fast little player, going in and out ana making baskets.
 Campbell, while a trifle sore today says he could do it again.
 Adelman proved that he is there short and stocky and we'll versed in the fine points of the game.
 Waller, although he did have big dinner tucked away, kept his wind in excellent shape and his old college tricks came back to him while in the game.
 Reed was formerly, and perhaps can still be called, champion center of the Pacific Coast.
 Kenyon, hard as nails, bounded of Reed once for fifteen feet. No-there were no fights, just near fights, all ending peacefully, just as it should.
 Seward also has a good bunch of rooters, men and women.

DON'T SET A LIMIT.
If You Could Realize The Coed Your
Red Cross Contribution Will Do. :,

To many French people today the
war itself is no longer of any person
al, but only of a patriotic interest be-
cause they have lost On the battle
field all those they loved. Their homes
have been piliaged, their property de-
stroyed, their business ruined, their
sons, their husbands. their fathers
killed. Their magnificent courage is
unbroken, but all the joy has gone out
of their lives. The hope would be
gone as well, if it were not for the
work of mercy being accomplished by
the American Red Cross among this
civil population.
When the Huns were at the gates
of civilization, Joffre did not ask:
"How many lives will it take to win
the battle of the Marne?" Nor would
Americans, if they could only realize
the good their generosity is doing, set
any limit to the amount they are 60
ing to give to the Red Cross during
the "drive.'
Think of man who has been fight
ing since 1914 with no news { his
family. Then suppose you knew that
his wife and children were living and
could be brought back to him. How
much would you give to see them
united, laughing and crying al ii
once, their poor wan faces drawn VIII
misery still, yet relaxed at last for
the first time in almost four years
because of the joy you had gfver
them? How much would you give?
/ If you actually realized that tht
humblest working girl in France wa:
turning toward you for comfort
would you fail her? One Of these lit
tie labourers, when she heard of tht
work the Red Cross is doinc il
France, said to me:
81 used to see black in the bott on
Of my heart. But now the American
have come I don't see black an!
more"
She was speaking for all. Shoy
her how great we are! ~ n

a man within the prescribed age I'm.
it for all troops.
sMany men whose long experience
as mechanics and artisans will make
them particularly valuable to the varl-
GUS staff corps and departments may
be thus secured instead of younger
men without such experience and the
efficiency. of the staff corps and the
departments thus will be increased" "
There probably are 100000 men
between the ages of 40 and IS and
many thousands of them already
have attested their desire to serve by
bombarding the department with ap-
plications While the great majority
of the men in this class undoubtedly
will be restrained from enlistlng by

at liberty to join the colors IS ex-
