president of the Washington and
Lee university, Lexington, Va, is
one of the lucky men.
Three other men submitted sug-
gestiOns which were of so nearly
equal merit that the judges de-
cided to split the $4,000 award be
tween them. The plans of the four
winners, all of which were accom-
panied by drawings, will be turned
over to the secretary OF war by the
Security league.

over two thousand men, women
and children in all parts of the
country competed for the prize.
Nearly all Of the contestants sent
elaborate drawings and many sent
carefully constructed models. Pra =
tically all Of the essays had actual
value which made the tasks of the
judges difficult and delayed the an
nouncement of the winners.
The War Aims.
The war aims of this country II
be set before the people Of Germany
by methods evolved in the contest
were outlined. by the league as fol-
lows:
That we are fighting for the Ger
man masses, not against them.
That we are fighting the Prus
sian military autGcTaCy, which, as
shown at Zabern, enslaved the Ger
man civilian masses and is forcing
thousands of them to be killed daily
so that Germany can make vassal
states of the rest of the European
nations.
That we are fighting that autOC
racy which is trying to rule the
world by force; that autocracy
which is preventing peace.
THAT the United States is fight
ing for the liberty of the masses,
for our liberty, for the liberty Of
the world
THAT we will fight until we get
freedom for all forever

Daily Stock Letter.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
NEW YORK, July 26.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review to-
day said:
In moderately firm but dull and re-
stricted market today, stocks for the
most part moved sluggishly. The
tone, however, was firm and there was
no selling pressure worthy of COM
ment- In response to the news that
the French, Americans and British
continue their gains in the Aisne-
Ourcq- Rheims salient, and a slight re-
duction of money rates, prices advanc-
ed moderately but the market did not
exhibit strong tendency.
In the late trading, there was a
small expansion in activity. the firm
tone continued and the most active
stocks, including United States Steel
and Tobacco Products, made new high
for the day. Steel at 1885 was up
Ia from the previous close and two
points from the days low.
