AMERICANS TO START AN
 ION 10 BERLIN" CONTEST

Tours, France, Saturday, Oct. 26 fBy The A. P.) An "On to Berlin" contest will be inaugurlted among the American army organizations at the nine base ports on November to see which organization can unload freight, guns. food, clothing and other mater ial in the fastest time Major Gen eral Harbord, commanding the ser vice of supply. has planned the contest in order to increase the already high rivalry among the base port organiza- tions.
 When the "On to Berlin" contest starts on November 5 the secrecy which up to this time has covered the names of the American base ports in France will be lifted so that those at home may follow the progress of the contest as though It were a baseball game.
 The distance from each port to Ser lin has been divided into equal parts su that if each port merely equalled it's record for the previous eight weeks they would all reach Berlin to- gether. But any port eXcelling the previous weekly records vii move that much faster toward Berlin and conse- quently will arrive there, theoretical ly, much sooner than the others.
 The scores of the individual bases will be displayed weekly in the Y. NJ. C. A huts and will be supplemented by moving pictures which will be shown in the entire American army zone in France as well as in the United States. Prizes will be given for individual distinction and to squads and platoons at each port. The main prize, to be given at the end of the eight weeks. will be a ten days
