have a majority of people
fighting on their side. This
war is a Civil War on interna-
tional scale forced on the the
people. Leaders of these four
great nations have proclaimed
a New Emancipation. A two
thirds majority is needed fo-
the Poll Tax Bill to win. In
regard to the soldiers vote, it
seems as if the states are going
to take care of the soldier bal
lot. A soldier can't vote unless
he paid the Poll Tax and the
Poll Tax bill is the only bill
that will see that soldiers can
vote black or white.

players. The victory had not
been won yet when there was
a half minute to play and the
battalion was behind two
points. The boys were fighting
hard when st Hill made a long
shot and made it, just when
time stopped and the final
score was 80 all. To break the
tie, three minutes overtime
was to be played, with both
teams looking forward to win
ming. However, the army boys
took the game with a AZ to 80
victory over Zion when Cpl
Prescott came through with
two points and a foul shot by
Cpl Jones.
The British have been say
ing that the Battle of Water
loo was won on the cricket
fields of Eton. BY the same
token, it requires no great
strength of the Imagination to
visualize battles currently be-
ing won by American soldiers
as having had their genesis on
the athletic fields OF Army
posts throughout the United
States, Hawaii, Alaska, and the
Canal Zone. Almost up to
Pearl Harbor, practically every
Regular Army unit had is
varsity basketball Ave" and it
was invariably a good, fast
quintet. These Army teams
scheduled semi-pro, college and
other service f1ves. Sometimes
several Army posts within a
designated area banded to-
eether in anall-Service loop,
such as the New York Harbor
Service Basketball League. This
fast service league, sponsored
by the Sloane House YMCA OF
New York City embraces such
Army and Navy fives as Fort
Jaw Mitchell Field, Fort Ham
ilton, Fort Totten, Brooklyn
Navy Yard (Receiving Ship ),
Fort Slocum, Brooklyn Marine.
Base, and Fort Wadsworth. 1t
is my belief that athletics has
always played an important
part in Army training sched-
ules. Besides basketball, SOL
der teams take the field in
football, baseball, and other
outdoor sports. Boxing and
wrestling tournaments at Army
Camps not only are participa-
ton sports, the ydraw large
n d intensely interested
crowds of spectators. The ath-
letic soldier is a good soldier.
There is a primary lesson he
learns in such inter-post con-
tests as the basketball game
which was played on January

scheduled for January It'll

1914 TO DECIDE FUTURE OF
WORLD, PATTERSON SAYS
HONORABLE ROBERT P. PATTERSON
Under Secretary of War

The greatest strain in history is about
to be put upon this country =. on labor.
on industry, on the entire population.
There have been troubles and difficulties
in the past and we have, in the main,
overcome them. But the most difficult
job Of all lies ahead. That is the drive
to Victory!
War in democracy is, and must be, q
partnership. It has been repeatedly
proved in combat that the soldier who
knows not only what he has to do but
why he has to do it is the best soldier
and the most logged and determined
fighter. He is partner in the battle
strategy.
