FRIARS HAVE BIG JOB IN STORE FOR SUNDAY. Fast Racine Teams Expected to Give Boys Hard Rattle. Fort Wayne, Ind.. Nov. 9 While Friar fans have always had great confidence tn the ability of tlteir favorites to win and still possess an unlimited quantity, an element of doubt as to the victor in their coming battle with the fast Racine, Wls., team seetns to exist. The warriors from the Badger state, half of whom are officers in the different training camps ami former college men, have formed an outfit which has defeated the best in the field, Hammond included, and are cocksure of taking the measure of the lo ; cals. The Friars, it has been freely admitted by those in authority, have built up one of the greatest independent teams in the country and are .fully confident of winning. Their confidence, which has always been the big factor fn the success they have enjoySd. has taken on greater proportions since the addition of thier new end. Helvie, who put up a whale of a game in his first appearance here last Sunday, and nothing can convince them that there is a chance to lose. They are determined to win for l two reasons. First, on account of the i pleasure to be secured when one is numbered with the victors, and second. by triumphing in this encotin- . ter they will have established an I equal right with the Hammond team to claim the state championship, i The locals have no fears of the upstate eleven and feel they will dispose of them without much trouble should the two meet. In fact they are anxious to clash with them that they have issued a challenge for a game in Fort Wayne on either the 18th or 25th. the defy also being directed at Pine Village and Wabash. It is to be hoped that an immediate acceptance is received from one of these three as such a match would serve to set at rest this word battle over the championship. Three other teams are clamoring for these dates and some quick action is necessary in order to secure the game. Local interest in Sunday's game is mounting higher as the date nears, as the fans are anxious to get a line on the comparative strength of the Friars and Hammond, which was defeated by Racine. The advance seat sale has been large and indications are that a record crowd will be in the stands when the kick-off is made at 2:30 o’clock. RED CROSS MEMBERSHIP DRIVE Washington. Nov. 9—A nation-wide i Christmas membership drive has been planned by the Red Cross War Council. The building up of the Red Cross membership to 15,000.000 in the United States is the goal of the Campaign. This means the addition of approximately 10.900,000 names to the present muster roll. The drive is to start December 17 and continue unceasingly up to Christmas Eve. | General features of the membership campaign were wqrketl out ami approved at a conference at the national headquarters of the Red Cross tod::.* in which representatives of each - f the Red Cross divisions of the continental United States participated. A national Christman membership drive committee has been appointed by the war council to have general charge of planning and later conducting the whole campaign. Theodore N. Vail, president of the American Telepranh and Telephone company, has accepted the chairmanship. and Dr. H. N.I MacCracken, president of Vassar oollege, will be executive secretary. Other members of the committee are: His Eminence. James Cardinal Gibbons; Bishop William Lawrence, Bos- 1 ton; Dr. Henry van Dyke. Former Min! ister to the Netherlands, Princeton. N. J.; John W. Britton, San Francisco; Benjamin Gratz. St. Louis: B. Ban Johnson, Chicago: Harvey Lindley, i Seattle; John Mitchell. New York City. o Flying Moth Not Destructive. When a woman opens a closet and a moth flies out she thinks, as a rule, ' that the moth has been eating her ' . clothes. As a matter of fact, however. ■ the creature does its eating in the t I grub stage, and is harmless when it i lias become a flying thing—save that it will produce a ravenous progeny.

Will Kaiser s Italian Success Bring Victory to the Allies? “The collapse of the Italian Eastern front is disheartening to the Allies," says the Indianapolis .Vt’K'.s’, “not because it points to sure defeat, but because it postpones their victory.” In all sections of the country, we find the press discussing this staggering and unexpected blow to our hopes in a tone not of pessimism, but of increased seriousness and grim determination. The Chicago Tribune remarks that “the Stars and Stripes are in the trenches to-day. and they are going forward there, not back, forward till the enemy s power is beaten down, and he is ready tor peace for all time; while the Pittsburg Chronicle-lelegrapk remarks that ‘Germany is making a fight to a finish and America must deliver the knockout blow." In THE LITERARY DIGESI for November 10th, the leading article dismisses from every angle the recent retreat of the Italian army and its probable effect in bringing ultimate victory to the Allies. This number of The Digest is particularly interesting, ns a glance at the following headings, describing additional articles, will prove: “Over The Top” With Men and Money “With the Money We Are Borrowing We Are Going to Give You Men the Best Guns and the Best Equipment in the World, and We Hope to Put on Every Gun a Bayonet That Will Reach to Berlin.” Secretary McAdoo.
