CROWD GATHERS ABOUT
LIBERTY LOAN BONFIRE
MAYOR AND PRESIDENT GRA
HAM MAKE SPEECHES BAND
PRESENT AND ACTIVE
BATTALION PARADES. IN FORCE
Men in Drab and Citizens of Town
Get Hilarious Over Anticipated
Success of Loan Chapel Hill
Over Subscribes its Quota
College "pep" and the spirit of
patriotism was rife on the campus
and streets of Chapel Hill last
Monday night when all the people
of the town and University joined
in launching forth the big Liberty
Loan drive by the burning of a
huge bonfire in front of the post-
office and by an address from
President Graham.
The plans for the bonfire and
general celebration were carried
out as fully as anticipated. The
four military companies formed
in front of the South building at
7 :30 j and following the band
marched to the scene where the
Liberty Bon(d) fire was lighted.
Mayor W. S. Roberson, speaking
from a truck, explained the occa
sion of the celebration. He spoke
of the exigencies of the day and
the necessity for the full support
of American arms with money and
men. He said that Chapel Hill
had been apportioned $39,000,
that of this amount half had al
ready been subscribed, and that a
vigorous campaign would be con
ducted until the finish today.
Mayor Roberson then introduced
Dr. Graham who delivered the ad
dress of the evening. He arose
amid lusty cheers and a spasm of
music from the band, and only at
his request was quiet sustained.
At the very outset, President
Graham hurled his hearers into a
state of expectancy when he an
nounced that he was about to per
form a miracle. With a single
match, in which is conserved the
power to do wonderful things, ho
said that he would light the fire
which would produce a flame rep
resentative of that flame kindled
in the human heart ages and
ages ago. "Hundreds of thousands
of years ago millions of years
ago, if geologists may be believed,
there assembled around just such
a fire produced by the rubbing to
gether of sticks, a group of ani
mals. In the brain of one of these
animals was a spark of intelli
gence, of self-preservation a
spark of liberty and freedom."
That spark has grown and come
down to us, through all the ages,
to be preserved and cherished by
us in this present-day civilization.
Dr. . Graham declared that today
this spark of liberty was aflame.
It must not be allowed to go out.
The Democratic nations ' of the
world are fighting that this same
liberty and freedom in self-government
shall not perish.
In conclusion, President Gra
ham told of the importance of the
Liberty Loan and the need of in
terest in it on the part of every
one. He agrees that the realiza
tion of war is n tfirrihlfi experience.
He advocated that we do our duty
and let our dollars fight for thinsra
worth while. Our dollars? ivill

Old Carolina Men in Football
Old Carolina men of All-Southern
or All-South Atlantic fame'
are still demonstrating their abil
ity in football at the various
training camps.
The Camp Jackson team, at
Columbia, composed of stars from
all over the South, has three old.
"N. 0." men in its regular line
up, and several others are likely
candidates in the yet debatable
positions. Ramsey, '17 at end,
Winston, '12 at half, and Coleman
'17 at full, opened the game
against Camp Wadsworth at Spar
tanburg this week, while "Grig"
Tayloe, '18, and Cowell, '17, were
promising men in the line. Along
with two Yale men in the line,
Thurman of Va. (captain of the
team), Cody of Vanderbilt,
Schultz of W. & L., Hill of S. C,
Black of Davidson, and Vaughn
of V. P. I., Carolina is showing
up well. Coleman is rushing
Thurman hard for punting honors
while Winston is considered the
fastest man on ' the team. Camp
Wadsworth is represented by some
of the East's best football talent,
including men from Yale, Prince
ton, Harvard,. Cornell, and Colum
bia, and the contest between the
Northern and Southern stars is
regarded with keen interest.
Also at Port Washington, Md.,
artillery sector, Carolina is well
represented. C. S. Harris, '17, is
coach, manager and half on the
team there, and he writes the "Tar
Heel" that they are successfully
playing "real North Carolina foot
ball." VAUDEVILLE MONDAY NIGHT
The foot lights in the Old Ger-
rard Theatre will be turned on the
first production, of the year Mon
day night at 8:30. The Drama
tic Club-Y. M. C. A. vaudeville is
to be presented. Yes, it is here
at last ! Though it is a week be
hind schedule time it is better
for the delay. The stars, old and
new, are to appear in this stupen
dous production. The manage
ment announces with great glee
that the services of many import
ed as well as domestic lights of
the great Keith Circuits have been
secured. With the great French
tenor, M. Jacques Howell, on leave
for this performance from a fa
mous regiment of Alpine Chas
seurs; the great Italian virtuoso,
Lindsay, with his famous orches
tra ; Branson, McKee, and Travis,
all with their boxes along; De-
vereux and Travis, of gymnastic
fame; and a score of other per
formers, including J. Y. Jordan
and George M. McKie, the grand
master of the histrionic rat, it is
unnecessary to say that the vaude
ville will be one of the best ever
pulled off in Chapel Hill.
The seats go on sale at Eubanks
Drug Store Saturday afternoon.
The prices are as usual, reserved
seats thirty-five cents and general
admission a quarter. According
to present indications the atten
dance will be record-breaking.
Every one is expected to be in his
seat when the curtain rises at
:30 on Monday night."
The Glee Club rehearses every
night except Saturday.
NORMAN ANGELL MAKES
FIRST ADDRESS OF YEAR
WELL KNOWN PUBLICIST TALKS
ON "AMERICA'S POLICY AT
END OF THE WAR"
HAS HAD INTERESTING CAREER
Carolina is gaining fame in the
theatrical line : sounds exciting
does it not? (It does not.) Two
of her sons J. Spears Howell
and J. Y. Jordan (Duke Dubu
que), to be specific, were sum
moned to appear in a big soldier's
minstrel given at Greenville, . S.
C, last Saturday matinee and
night. The long and the short of
it left here after the small matter
of salary had been adjusted ove
the wire. Get me straight.. I
don't mean the salary was small,
I mean I mean (I'm mean
enough for most anything) that
in the case of two such inimitable
stars in the Chapel Hill firmament
salary is a minor consideration.
The soldiers' management in
Greenville would have broken the
bank at Monte Cristo (or Crisco,
ain't that slick ?) in order to get
them down there for the show.
So our representatives in the
burnt cork line slid down to S. C.
in regular end-door Pullmans.
Count Jordan officiated as inter
locutor and cavorted in the after
piece. Our enterprising (I have
his permission to use that word)
Jamie yodeled ard "lyricked"
with his Scotch tenor. (Hope I
don't get "kilt" for this). The
puissant pilgrims report that a
good crowd attended and what's
more, applauded the show. The
big officials of the camp, such as
generals, majors, and corporals,
were all present and unaccount
ed for. Our representatives, in
the face of all this pomp (a-door)
carried off the honors of the even
ing by carrying on in the spirit
of the evening.
Students are awaiting with in
terest the next engagement which
the trusty troubadours will be call
ed upon to fill. We can already
see Weber and Field's glory far
ing in the brilliancy of this new
team of fun-makers and laugh
purveyors, as it were.

Mr. Latin America, Suh!"
The Latin-American Club, its
: purpose and studies were present
ed to the student body by Dr. W.
W. Pierson of the History Depart
ment in Chapel, Wednesday.
Dr. Pierson briefly summarized
the work of the club up to this
time. Certain aspects of Latin
American civilization have been
considered, and he emphasized the
fact that the old idea of that coun
try as a hoF bed of revolution, and
anarchy, is out of date. It is in
the same category with our "wild
and woolly West."
In outlining the purpose of the
club, Dr. Pierson" said that "it
was formed for cultural, business,
educational, and political reas
ons." There are very good open
ings there for business, and we
should know more about them ;
we should know more of our diplo
matic relations with Latin-America,
and the club draws attention to
the University as a progressive
L-institution."
The national colors and the regi
mental colors have arrived for the
battalion and will be presented by
a ceremonial parade next week.
All will be very proud of these,
since they are handed over as a
token of honor. The national
colors are presented by Mr. Pat
terson, of the class of 1895. The
regimental colors are presented by
Mr. P. Schenk, Law class of 1905.
To both of these gentlemen we owe
a great deal of thanks for their
profound interest in the military
organization.
Dr. Bain Preaches October
Sermon for the University
Dr. E. L. Bain, of Greensboro,
delivered the University sermon
for October in Gerrard Hall Sunday-
- Dr. Bain traced the develop
ment of the Christian Religion
through the dark ages, the birth
of Christ, the reformation, and
on down to the present time.
Dr. Bain preached Sunday
night at the Methodist Church,
and on Monday morning made a
short talk in Chapel.
"The boy is father to the man,"
said he. "Now is the time to de
cide what kind of a man you are
going to be, whether you decide
on your life work now or not ;
habits are easily and early form
ed. So learn to correlate sub
jects now, to sympathize with peo
ple and points of view and to
touch life."
F. O. Clarkson has been order
ed to Boston for naval aviation
service.
By continued and concentrated
practice the Glee Club has reach
ed such a stage of proficiency as
will, in director Lindsey's opin
ion, enable it to render week after
next an interesting and entertain
ing program.

FRESHMEN REPRESENT
CAROLINA HERE TODAY
FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON TO
BE PLAYED ON EMERSON
FIELD AT 3:00
DAVIDSON SCRUBS FAST BUNCH
Period of Preliminary Training for
Reserves Over Today Team En
ters Contest With Two Men Out
Probable Line-up for Today
Sims, r. e. ; Fordham, r. t. ;
Stevens, r. g, Shaw, c. ; Arm
field, 1. g. ; Wright, 1. t. ; Cockran,
1. e. ; Lowe, q. ; Scales, f. b. ;
Sherrod, r. h.; Fulton, 1. h.
This is the probable line-up for
today's game with Davidson
Scrubs. '
After a gruelling practice in de
fensive team work the last few
days the Freshman Football Team
awaits the battle with Davidson
Scrubs today. And a battle royal
is expected with the fast well
balanced team that Davidson is
sending against N. C, a team that
is reported to be nearly as strong
as Davidson's regulars.
In the practice game with the
Chapel Hill High School Tuesday
afternoon final score 18-0 in fa
vor of the Freshmen some minor
defects were uncovered which the
coaches have been working hard
to remedy. The whole team lack-'
ed that jump at the snap of the
ball which discloses perfect team
work, and there were continued
penalties for off-side. The back
field showed up pretty well with
Lowe punting well, while Scales
pulled off some good runs and
both he and Sherrod tackled with
deadliness. The line was willing
enough but the poor condition of
many of the men kept it from do
ing its best work. In general the
interference was fair but poor
judgment of punts was sometimes
shown.
The revised schedule of the
Freshman team has been given out
by Graduate Manager Woollen.
It follows:
Davidson Scrubs-Chapel 'Hill,
Oct. 27.
Oak Ridge-Chapel Hill, Nov. 3.
Bingham (Asheville), Ashevillo,
Nov. 10.
Charlotte High School, Chapel "
Hill, Nov. 17.
Virginia Freshman-Charlottes-
ville, Nov. 24.
There is a movement on foot to
have the game with Virginia
scheduled at Camp Lee in Peters
burg, Va., but it is not known
what will result from it.
In anticipation of an early con
test with a team from one of the
army camps the Informal Varsity
Football team is putting all it has
into the practice now. A scarcity :
of material is still troubling the
coaches, but a large number of
men are expected out next- week
after they have arranged their
college work satisfactorily.
Manager Armstrong reports
that he has written for games with
the army camps at Charlotte,
Greenville, and Columbia, for a
game with the Davidson Scrubs, ;
for a game with Guilford, and for
one with Winston High School.
Of these Guilford has answered
that she will give them a game a
little later in the season and the
