terday the Harlem Patriotic League er-
tertained at It's quarters on 125th street
twenty wounded soldiers back from the
front, They will entertain eighty-hve
wounded men at the same place Sunday.
The ambition Of the Moffat street resi-
dents. who have postponed their party
for the benefit OF the fund to October

the Fourth Liberty Loan drive, is to head
the list, of such affairs with the largest
contribution vet, and from all reports
they seem justified IN their faith. The
record 30 far is held by the Scovlle walk
party. Coney Island. which raised for
the fund a sum approaching $500.
