BUY LIBERTY BONDS.

/ Where the battle is raging and
everything depends on the ability OF
the artillery to stop the rush of the
advancing enemy or to clear the way
for our men, it does not matter to the
/ gunner how much the shell costs.
What matters to him is that he shall
have as many shells as he needs. That
means life or death, victory If defeat.
Modern warfare is very expensive
and this war will be won by those
who are able to provide the last few
million dollars. That is why it is
necessary for the United States gov
ernment to have great quantities of
money so that there shall never be a
shortage of shells or other necessities.
Liberty Bonds will provide this
money. You are not asked to give a
penny, merely to lend it at liberal in
/ terest to the richest government in
the world.
EVERY LIBERTY BOND you buy
stands between the American SOL
diers and the enemy. 1t saves the
lives of our men and provides them
with the means of victory.
Your share in winning the war is
to BUY LIBERTY BONDS. Buy them
now from the following AUTHOR

be assured and the gauze room will
probably be closed for that length of
time unless arrangements to do other
kinds of work can be made.

CELEBRATE OPENING
OF STUDENTS ARMY
College Corps Begins Year on o.
tober | Is Program.

The War Department is planning
big patriotic programs on October l
in Hawaii, Porto Rico and all of the
States and Territories to celebrate
the opening of the Students Army
Training Corps in the colleges. Orders
were issued yesterday suspending the
usual preparatory requirements for
college entrance, and the colleges
were advised to admit students who
have completed a four years nigh
school course or its equivalent. Under
the latter clause students who have
been unable to complete such a course
but have had practical experience in
the world may be accepted.
Admission to the Students Corps
will not be an exemption from active
service. but such students may reach
the front sooner than registrants
called to training camps. They will be
sent to the front or withheld for fur
ther training as the needs of the War
Department dictate.
THE corps makes possible training
of officer material on a far greater
scale than ever before" says the
War Department.
The colleges will be operated on a
twelve months basis with four
semesters of three months each and a
continuous flow of men will be kept
up into them.

STORY HURLEY WILL
QUIT PROVES FALSE
No Lack of Cooperation with
Schwab and Piez.

The report of the resignation Of Ed
ward n. Hurley, chairman OF the
Shipping Board. was officially denied
yesterday at the White House and
later by Mr.. Hurley.
A New York afternoon newspaper
carried an account Of Mr. Hurley's
impending resignation. and attributed
it to lack of cooperation between the
chairman. Charles NJ. Schwab, direc-
tor general of shipbuilding, and
Charles NJ. Piez, vice president of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation.
THE report" said Mr.. Hurley, sis
either a political or a pro-German lie
There has always been the strongest
cooperation between both Mr.
schwab, Mr.. Piez and myself. There
will be, too"
THE story is absolutely ridiculous
and absurd" said Joseph P. Tumulty
the Presidents secretary. Mr.. Hur-
ley has made good in every way. The
administration, as well as the country
is certain of this"
The stamp of absolute falsehood was
put on the report when Mr.. Hurley
made public in advance a number of
passages of a speech he is to deliver
in Philadelphia Friday night wherein
both Mr.. Schwab and Mr.. Piez are
given the highest of praise for their
work in the shipping program.
