Washington. The campaign for the
Fourth Liberty Loan will open Satur
day, Sept. 28, and continue three
weeks, ending October 19, it was an
nounced tonight by Secretary McAdoo.
In fixing three weeks as the length
of the campaign for the fourth loan.
Instead of four weeks as in • evious
loans, treasury officials plan for a I
more intensive campaign. A shorter

more business men to enlist ns work
ers.
The date of the campaign was an

pare for the sale of bonds and to pre
vent the planning of other campaigns
which might interfere with the flota
tion of the loan.

probably will be $6,000,000,000 and the
rate of interest which the bonds will
bear 4 1-4 per cent Should the treas
ury decide soon to place on the mar
ket certificates of indebtedness re
deemable next June, when taxes are
paid, the amount of the loan may be
reduced.

COL. EDWARDS
WITNESSES BIG
BOXING BOUTS
i Even though it rained Thursday night,
a crowd numbering over 8,000 men turned
out to witness the big boxing tournament
staged at the K. of C. arena, Building No.
1, by Manager Joe Jacobs.
Colonel Oliver Edwards, the command
ing officer of Camp Hancock, was a most
interested spectator, and enjoyed the
bouts which Matchmaker Jacobs put on,
tremendously. Colonel Edwards was great
ly pleased to know that his men are tak
ing great, interest in the “Manly Art
Game,” and as the colonel stated, "box
ing will certainly put the fighting spirit
into the machine gunners, which will
eventually cause the downfall of the Ger
man Empire.”
As a matter of fact Colonel Edwards
was so pleased with the bouts, that he
has accepted Manager Jacobs's invita
tion to attend the monster boxing tour- I
nament which will be staged tomorrow <
night.
Colonel Lee and Major Richmond Act as f
Judges.
Colonel Lee, commanding officer of the !
Specialist School and Major Richmond ■
were the official judges for the evening's *
entertainment. Their decisions were given i
according to the boxing rules recently •
Issued by Dr. Joseph E. Raycroft, chair
man on the training camp athletic activi
ties commission. Colonel Lee is thor
oughly familiar with the boxing game,
and is a most competent judge, while
Major Richmond has been witnessing 1
bouts throughout the country for flic- past 1
15 years.
Lieutenant Murphy Refereees.
Lieutenant Murphey, a former New
York amateur boxing official. refereed!
the bouts, and from the manner in which
he made the contestants step around,
there is no doubt that the lieutenant, is
about the best referee in the South. There <
was no stalling on the part of the box
ers. as Lieutenant instructed the
men before boxing, that he would not tol- '
erate any stalling tactics, and that they 1
had to box in fair sportsmanlike man- •
ner. ,
Danny Murphy and Frankie Marone In
Great Bout.
The best bout of the evening brought to
gether Danny Murphy, the bantamweight '
champion of Camp Hancock, and Frankie
Marone, the. clever and garde little ban
tam of the 64th Company. For three i
rounds both Murphy and Marone had the
large crowd standing on their toes, with '
the clever bout that they put forth. Jr.
the second rpund Murphy open M irone -■
right eye lid with a right hand cross. and 1
Frankie was greatly handicapped by thf ;
flow of blood. Nevertheless game little
Frankie came oyl In the third round, and
I made Murphy step very lively At the '
termination of the bout, the judges agreed
that Danny Murphy was entitled to the
bout by a shade (
Young Solly and Bobby Greer Box (
Senatlonal Draw.
The final and main event of the even
ing was a hummer for action. In this ’
bout. Young Solly of the Ordnance de
partment boxed a .-ensati«ma| draw with ,
Bobby Greer, the Oklahoma B«-ar< at <4 j
the Ordannee department. For three
rounds these two men slugged away at.
one another for all that they were worth. 1
Both Solly and Greer showed that they
carry a knockout punch In their right (
mitts, and there were times when it <
looked almost certain one or the other (
would take the count However both
were in superb condition, and when the 1
final gong sounded both men were In the '
center of the ring throwing soporific t
punches at each other to the grand de
light of the large crowd present. Both
men weighed in at 135 pounds.
Other Features.
The other limits also furnished plenty
of action and greatly pleased Colonel Ed ,
wards, and the 8.000 spectator ' present! 1
In the first bout Johnny Knappi of the f
Headquarters Company. M. T D. was
given the judges’ decision over Jimmy r
Ward of the 33rd Company. Both men
weighed in at 122 pounds, ringside.
Jack Williams, the welterweight
champion of Camp Hancock, took It very
easy with Jim Welby of the 64tb Com
pany' In the next bout, and It could be
plainly' seen that Jack was pulling his
punches. Nevertheless Jack was given
the decision because of bis clever boxing
and stinging right hand crosses which
he delivered during the entire three
rounds.
In the next bout, Jack Dillon of Pitts
burg boxed a fast draw with Frankie.
Britt of the 63rd Company. Both Dillon
and Britt fought hard for three rounds,
the judges’ decision rendering the verdict
as a draw was well received by the big
crowd.
Wrestling Match. J
Just before the first boxing bnut was
put on. a very good wrestling match was
served to the speetafbrs. <’arl Uljachult o
of the 64th Company wrestled ten minutes o
to a draw with Bobby North of New York, p
The match was full of action and certain- ft
iy pleased the crowd to their heart’s con- tl
tent. The Catch-as-Catch-Can rules gov- a
erned the bout and were well lived up to, f|
las not once during the entire ten minutes R
<lld either man use the strangle hold, p
I which is barred. \ p
K. of C. to Award Medals to Winners p
I The winners of last Thursday night s f;
I contests will be awarded silver medals <’
tomorrow night. The K. of C. secretary, b
Mr. John Donohue, has been kind enough G
to donate these prizes to the victors. t<
Captain Ashmore Lays Down the Boxing
Rules.
Just before starting the show. Manager
Jacobs, assembled all the boxers in the
dressing room, where Captain James N.
Ashmore, th” athletic director of ('amp
Hancock, delivered a short address to the ,
men, informing them ns to the rules gov- 1
ernlng boxing, in the national army, and 1
also notified them that these rules would •’
have to bo strictly lived up to.
An interesting feature was the largo <
attendance of officers. in addition tn f
Colonel Edwards, Colonel Lee and Major
Hall, there were over 250 officers pres- ‘
ent. included amongst whom, were Cap- :i
tain Ashmore, and Lieutenant H. F. I’e- <
to. the supervisor of the Publication Sec- J
tion at Camp Hancock. s
"Oh. yes; purty good, 1 reckon. He
writes me as he’s carryin’ everything
afore him.” answered Hayrick.

TRENCH AND CAMP
Conversation on Conservation
By Cy Hecker.
A meeting was held last week in the
Conservation and Reclamation office
to familiarize the mess officers of the
various companies in actual workings
of this office. The main purpose of
this meeting was to see how they can
feed men with the least possible waste.
It is the soldie:.’ that needs the food
not the garbage can. A record will be
kept at each company every day,
showing the exact amount of waste
accumulated during a meal and this
report will be compared with other
,companies having less waste and in
'this way we will know exactly who is
wasting and their reason will be
known. It will be only a short time
when a mess officer will know what
particular dish his men favor and what
ones should be cut out.
The subject of attractiveness cf the
food and service is taken up by the
School of Cooks and Bakers at Camp
Hancock., This work cannot be over
emphasized for IF the food comes <o
the soldier in an unattractive way,
ATHLETICS AT HUT 75
Then men V the development bat
talion are making splendid progress,
they are beginning to feel quite at
horns at “Y” 75,
Saturday night was Italian sports
night; several fast, and furious box
ing bouts were pul'cd off. Tony Tor
retta started the “mits” fluttering by
trying to knock the spaghetti <,ff of
Galo Jessup’s chin.
The second bout was between Nich
olas Rago and Jack Tardino. Rago is
lighter than Jack and while he landed
several good blows they were without
effect. Tardino is some "walloper.”
His exhibition of aggressiveness and
staying qualities showed him up to be
some boxer.
No. 4—The foot company of the de
velopment battalion, had some goo 1
bouts in their company street: Abe Ro-
Btolder, of New York went three rounds
•with Jimmie Callahan of Florida.
Ave Shapiro. New York City, went
two rounds with Corporal Kellers, of
New York City.
Joe Perry, New York City, went
through two rounds with Harry Rub
en sen, New York City.
No effort was made to give a de
cision in these bouts, and the best that
can be said concerning these* bouts i.;
that they wdre clean and hotly c< n
tested.
The development battalion has; some
good talent. They are forming an ath
letic organization in each company
and are going to push eve-"- event
that makes thir physical development.
Top Sergeant Christian of
Company No. 4, Div. Bat., who for sev
ertl years has held the championship
of the I'. 8. Army for long distance
swimming would be glad to meet any
opponent at any distance from one mile
to fifteen miles.

Boxing in 42nd M. T. D.
The 42nd <*o.. which consists nf a bunch
of husky Wisconsin r >n, received a set
<>f boxing gloves, which were promptly
out into use on Wednesday night The
boys were given ;» trvout and results show
thev will he well able to handle a Hnn
and when they do, God heh» the Hun. The
first bout was nulled off by Sergeants
Ronaklson and Mulchron. Sergeant ('hop
per. ex-champ of Detroit, also
put on a very neat exhibition with <’<>rp.
Parsons Private Lawler, the smiling
farmer, also put up a clever b-mt with
f'orp. Smith. The boys **nj<>'cd al! th,
bouts and showed great enthusiasm. Corp.

Ordnance M. P.
Biggest night in Lake View.
What was the celebration'’
M. P.’s picnic and barbecue
The boys, from the way the plates
most of it finds its w’ay to the garbage
cans. 1
One example of waste can be shown
as follows: It was noticed that in the
garbage of one company at noon meal
that about half the can was poorly <
cooked macaroni and boiled potatoes. !
This was due, not to the quality of tlje {
foAd furnished by the Subsistance $
Branch, but to poor preparation. ;
It will mean the co-operation of ev- t
i ery man from the private to the rank- 1
' ing officer to accomplish the required c
results. Watch your next meal and a
| see what you can do in the way of i J
avoiding waste. We want to feed men i
; —not hogs. J
He who conserves, renders double
service, fßeclamation is our word—
Conservation your duty.)
Imagine what an item like 17,000 J
pounds of garbage in one day and that ,
is what our department collected last
week amounts to. We will soon, re- J
I ceive reports telling u who actually ’
■ wasted afld what they wasted. All j
hands together for Conservation and
I you will be rewarded with better
j meals. a
looked after the meal, seemed to j
grasp the meaning when Captain r
Johnstone told them a few months ago
to snap it up. ' 5
The mess : ergeant made himself J.
very prominent by announcing the f
program, and then to top it off he
danced with one of the singers, but .
6 feet 2 and 4 feet 5, and no combina
tion at all.
M. P. meant Mighty Popular that '
night ar d bovs. all formalities forgot
ten. Some nifty retreat, eh? And the
| talk by the Provost Marshal was same s
■ there, and it was some short, but aw- j
I fully sweet. '
It’s a gre. life to sleep until 9a. m. 1
and mess waiting for you.
Who is Sergeant Stevens?
Lieut. Patterson made good his
i promise, having a girl there, fore a-ry
.fellow; even had 50 more to make
I sure. J
Where did you get them all. Lieu-
! tenant?
I It's lucky for the boys it was Old
■ j Mike who ren.s the beats at Lake View
j Park. Says the next lime the M. P.'s f
| run. anything there he is going to be '
i prepared by having a lot more two- 1
seated boats to handle the rush. He }
said the M. P.'s are a lively bunch and | |
I didn’t care how they spent their money t
renting a boat that holds five and oply- s
i taking two out. i
He -loesq’t know that more than '
i two is a crowd.
i The. officers that head us sure are |
I men. every one of them, and the boys j
feel grateful to them for what they I r
have done, and are doing. We're all o
for you. and more power to you all. j i
Acting Nan Louis seemed to L.avep
more to say than those with stripes i t
and that’s going some.
Where was Sergt. Fein when the! e
lights wont on?
/Voting Private Ketke. sa? hkr.ows ,
who Sergt. Stevens is.
Where was that roll call, Sergeant j
DeClue? Oh, yes. Captain Johnstone
had something to do with it. H >ray y
for our Captain! \
If he only could have heard how '
nice the ladies talked about him. j
The papers announced the Germans 1 s
in full treat; mi i.t have ’ eon a case of I J
having their hands’ full while we all i f
had our little tu.mmys full.
Somebody said the mounted men j
were going to get a surprise; won- s
der what it is. Maybe them spurs • ,
that Sergt. Chaw Chaw lias laying ; s
around getting rusty.

The Png loss moving day has come.

Who Is Corporal Crews? There was
a letter In the mail box addressed /
thusly. Where are you getting your »
stripes, boy.
One Sunday Afternoon
Say. soldiers, won’t you come over 1
and have some watermelon? We J
halted in our aimless ramble and ex- t
pectantly followed the smiling young- t
ster of some 11 or 12 summers e
who had arrested our progress. 1
One young guide stopped before a •
prettily arranged store room from r
winch issued the resounding notes of
a piano, and the music of a woman's c
laughter. A word of welcome, a smile
and recovering from the enchantment q
of it all, we found ourselves comfort- '
ably seated bile from plates on our c
laps a huge slice of water melon in
vited us to "fall in." '
Having partaken of a feast which 1
only the South can produce, we '
leisurely surveyed our surroundings.
The store-room, under the careful! I
artistic hand of a wt man. ha taken I
on « dignity which took us back toil
the dear old days at heme. The. piano, II
surrounded by the kahki-clad men of JI
the camp, the jolly songs, the smiles 1 1
and laughter of the ladies, lifted us ‘ I
and whirled s away from the N. G. P. '|

the "taps’ whistle, and vze lived the!!
I jolly, carefree fellows that wj really I

Dr. Branson Gives Wonderful
Lecture and Holds Audience
Spellbound. Mrs. Marjorie
Squires, Chicago Opera
Singer, Delights Crowd With
Her Charming Voice
An especially rare treat was fur
nished the Supply Depot men at the
Y. M. C. A. tent Monday evening
with an addres by Dr. Bransom of the
U. of N. C., and delightful sin-in', by
Mrs. Squires and a few of her friends.
Camp Quartermaster Major Alex
Fitz-Hugh, presented Dr. Bransom.
Rarely have we had a speaker of such
magnetic personality. He took us
back to the days of the Ci il War
and gave us a glmpse oL the personal
life of one of our great national heroes.
General Robert E. Lee. The address
was filled with subtle wit and charm
ing anecdote ; from the life of Lee.
Very few men have studied 'he life
of Lee as carefully and intelligently
as Dr. Bransom. He laid before th®
soldiers the outline cf a clean Chris
tian life followed by a soldier and a
ntleman and no one who heard th®
lecture could go awa; without mak
ing a resolve to strive fcr one of the
many virtues which so marked the
life of Gen. Lee.
Following th® lecture of Dr. Bran
jsom a very much enjoyed program was
given by Mrs. Marjorie Higgerton
Squires, accompanied by Miss Mabel
Abernathy. Sergt. Barth of the Au
gusta Arsenal, and Sergeants Coc isey
and W! ite of the Engineer Depot, also
sang to the delight of the appre
ciative audience.
Mrs. Squires needs no introduction to
the men of Camp Hancock. Wherever
she appears the soldiers flock to hear
her sing in her rich contralto. She
can never sing eno gh to satisfy them.
We wish her great success in the tour
we hea • she will make in the South
eastern Department, and assure her
that (Jie men will enjoy her every
Y. M. C. A. hut that is privileged to
have her services. The affair Monday
nigjit was strictly informal. Mrs.
Squires was interpolated with songs
by Sergts. Cochsey and Whit from
our corner, who in the boys are proud
of and always enjey. Sergt. Bartch of
the Arsenal was a pleasant rumrise
and we were glu to make his ac
quaintance and we invite him to come

by the quartette leading in our Na
tional Anthem.
