Today's examinations to 2 p. m A

Marines want men.
This big fact stood out today, the third
recruiting day of the country-wide Marina
Corpa Week, In which Philadelphia is ex
pected to furnish 150 able-bodied recruits
to help raise the corps to war strength.
Today's prize for the first enlistment went
to Harry Andrew Coppack, a Pennsylvania
Railroad clerk. It was a traveling kit pre
rented by the William II. Hosklns Company.
There were eight examinations of appli
cants by 2 p. m. and two enlistments. The
"honor" roll was announced as follows:
. Harry Andrew Coppack. twenty-two. Ches.
tar, r.
Itarlow Kratl, twenty-ono, North Wales, Ta.
Because of lack -of blank cartridges, tho
sham battle at City Hall scheduled for
today was called off. The dally boxing
stunts were held at noon at the marine
tent. Broad and Arch stieets. A huge
Crowd looked on. But lassitude reigned
when It came to volunteering.
Since Sunday there have been twenty
one enlistments all men of the finest men
tal and physical type. They were gleaned
from the eighty-five applicants who wero
examined by the surgeons. One-fourth of
the applicants have been acceptable. . Kn
lUtmentR are frpelow the mark, so that
recruiting officers today said that one of
two things must.- happen, and liappcn
quickly, If Philadelphia Is not to fall by
the. wayside as Uncle Satri calls for help
far his "soldiers of the sea." Either more
men must apply or the class of men apply
ing must bo considerably Improved.
Philadelphia, known as the 'home of the
marine corps, Is far behind the remainder
c( the country In enlistments, judging by
figures given out at Washington.
Not until the casualty lists of killed nnd
wounded Americans begin to como from the
battlefields of France will the United States
realize ths full meaning of war, according
to Brigadier General L. W. T. Waller, of tho
marine corps who spoke last night at the
organization meeting of the Wynneflcld
Home Guard at the Wynnefield Country
Club.
"After the lists of those of our number
who have done their bit for Old Glory have
been printed and we see tho names of our
loved ones In cold type, then will como the
blood rush," said Brigadier General Waller.
Then will come the rush to aVchge those
who have fallen on the field of honqr."
The speaker said that It wns Impossible
to predict when the war would end. Ho be
lieves, he said, that there will be ono
mashing blow delivered at the enemy, and
then the end will como quickly.
Brigadier General Waller told In Inimi
table manner the value of candy to the
fighting men. Tons of Rweetmeats aro
placed on the battleships when they start
a, cruise, he said, and at the end of three
days not a bit of the toothsome delicacy Is
left.
Final plans are being mapped out, today
for the bj sham, battle to be fought oh
Franklin Field tomorrow afternoon. Three
full companies of marines and probably' tho
University of Pennsylvania battalion will
cross bayonets In a mimic conflict. How
United States fightero would copo with a
hostile airplane wern it to appear above
the city will be demonstrated by an anti
aircraft BttUOr. whh wtll send shot after
shot toward a marine corps aeroplane from
the League Island harifars. Armored motor
cars, two types of machine guns, wireless
aerials and 100.000-candlepower searchlights
also will be demonstrated In thrilling ac
tlpn.
Thirty thousand car.da of admission have
been distributed for the "battle." Tliey arn
free and, may be obtained at recruiting sta
tions and at the Evenino Ledokr ofilce,
Sixth and Chestnut streets, and Ledger Cen
tral, Broad and Chestnut streets.
A substation for recruits at the Phila
delphia Bourse was designed especially for
men who have not time. to. leave their busi
ness In the financial and' commercial dis
trict The station, which Is manned by
marines, is In the center of the floor at
the Fifth street endof the building.

A sizzling double play one of the kind

pWco In the Untied State District Court
before Judge Dickinson, wliero the owners
of the defunct Baltimore Federal League
team are suing Organized Baseball for
1900,000 and nlleging that the aforesaid
organized sport is operating contrarv to
the Clayton and .Sherman anti-trust laws
Tho piny was made by tleorge Wharton
Pepper and e.-Gocrnor Tenor nnd oxen
the vlctlmi wero forced to laugh nnd their
own discomfiture
The sizzling play came nfter the plaintiff
had startled blearl-erUes bv resting their
caso after tho testimony of S. L'dulu Gold
man. John K Tencr, who rose from Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania to president of the
National League at ono Jump, waB put on
the stand by Mr. Popper. Ho hud testified
that the National League was not a money
making proposition, but was organized ns
n absolute essential in tne mnintninance
of successful professional ball playing He
named" the sources -of Income of the Na
tional League and said, among other things,
thnt a company of sporting goods makers
paid tho league $20,000 annually for tho
privilege of supplying tho league with Its
official ball.
Mr. Pepper then asked Mr Tenor about
tho pence meeting held In New York city
on December 17, 1915. Mr Toner named
those present at the meeting, and among
others. President Raisin, of the lLiwIfeds;
Stuart Jnnney. a stockholder In tho club,
nnd representatives of minor leagues
By a series of questions JUr Pepper
elicited tho statement that tho owners of the
Bawlfcds had offered $250,000 for a fran
chise in either the American or the National
League. Counsel for the prosecution had
been objecting strenuously to the Intro
duction of the testimony concerning the
prcsenco or tlio liawiroii owners in wiu
peace meeting. Judgo Dickinson here took
a hand. lo Intimated that if Mr Pepper's
object wns to show that tho U.ivvlfcd own
ers had at ono time neon eager in join
an organization which they now brand us
operating illegally, he thought the Jury
would Infer It without nny more urgilment
along the lines taken up
I There had been much wrangling In the
morning as to whether or not Mr. Toner
would bo allowed to tell of baseball condi
tions In Baltimore as he knew them and
of how they affected the value of the Balt
feds franchise
Michael J. Slmonds, tho arohltcct who
designed tho Haltfed's grounds, told of
the construction of the stands Following
this S IMwiti Goldman testified that when
the club went out of business every player
on Its roster was written to and advised to
get another job. Ho said that the total
value of tho players' contracts for 1916 was
$4G.9G0.G7 and through indirect testimony
it was gathered that money was still owed
to the players.
Among those attending today was. Umpire
Morlarity. He Is tho first nrbltcr who has
thus far como to tho proceedings. Tho
crowd in attendance Is beginning to melt
away.
Liberty Bell Sounds
Tocsin for Big Loan
Continued from race One
ness the ceremony. Many felt that the
aged bell might not stand tho strain but
this uneasiness was dispelled when the
Mayor struck tho first blow.
Despite the big crack tho old bell re
sponded at the first tap. The sound was not
audible to the crouds outside the hall, and
not until Mayor Smith had struck several
blows did it produce a resonant ring
Thirteen blows wero struck, one for each
State In tho original Union.
Mayor Smith made no formal address,
hut stated that the event would probably
,0 down in history nnd that he desired to
nave a recora oi ino occhbiuu prcservea.
A , now register was produced and all
persons Invited Hlgned their names. This
record will be kept in tho archives of tho
city and Mayor Smith will probably form
an association of tho persons who wero
present.
Among" those present were E. T. Stotes

Judge Norrls S. Barratt, for United States
Asistant Attorney General, James M. Beck,

BIG STRIDES IN SALES
Philadelphia's Liberty Loan campaign
made big strides this morning, and from
early returns a big total Is tiBsured when
tho campaign ends at noon tomorrow.
C. J. lthoads,, governor of the Federal
Reserve Bank, was unable up to noon to
give out figures concerning the total, hut
admitted that It would be surprisingly
large A pile' of subscription blanks more
than six feet -high, were being tabulated,
and Governor lthoads asserted that definite
figures could not be given out until late In
the afternoon.
Campaign officials estimated that today's
subscriptions have swelled the total to more
than $150,000,000.
How tho Philadelphia fund Is growing Is
shown in early reports. Employes at the
Unlted States Mint promised to subscribe
$20,000. but this morning reported more
than 140.000.
Employes of Laird. Schobcr & Co. Btarted
to raise (10.000 and reported $16,400 at
noon. ...
Other subscriptions recorded this morn
ing wero aB follows:
Dalley, Dank & Ulddle ISO.Ooo
Pennsylvania Lawn Alower Works . . . so.000
wmiim Mann II Co. (additional sub
scriptions from employes) 8,115
J. A r. Ualtz Ilrewlng Company ,C5.00(I
Alan Wood Iron and Steel Company . $00,000
Victor Talking Machine Company (addi
tional subscription) 250,000
There are more than 1000 banks co-operating
In the campaign, and owing to the
great area covered by the Philadelphia
Federal Reserve Bank, not more than 40
per cent of these institutions have reported.
Counties In the central section of the
State have assured the campaign committee
that they will send big subscriptions to the
Federal Reserve Bank tomorrow and ex
plain that they are withholding subscrip
tions until the close of the campaign,
In several Instances county allotments,
according to the campaign committee, will
be doubled.
Philadelphia banks are bowling up big
totals, too, but like the smaller Institutions
In the rural sections- have been slow In re
porting. Yesterday the Franklin National
Bank reported new subscriptions totaling
more than $0,000,000. This brought the
grand total for that bank to $15,000,000,
and officials of the Institution are confident
that by tomorrow this total will be In
creased by an additional $3,000,000.
Acting upon a auggestlpn made by the
Evening Ltpazm, the Victor Talking Ma
chine recorded the detonations of the bell

From Stanley Stage During

Alleging unfairness at the hands of the
Pennsylvania State Board of Jlotlon Picture
Censors, tho Stanley Theatre management
plans an unusual and daring "come-back"
In connection with next week's bill, "On
Trial " This film, taken from the play by
Klmer Bel7.ensteln. originally given at the

complaint from the police authorities or the
public, has been passed In Its screen form
by the censorH, but five Important leaders,
or explanatory subtitles, have been ordered
out of tho current print.
That spectators may not loso the gist of
the story, tho management of the playhouse
announces that all five leaders wilt be read
aloud from the stago during the showing of
the Jilcture. ' This plan has been tried in
other cities with considerable success. Its
Introduction In Philadelphia is a novelty.
Whether the censors have the power to for

la an open question.
The Stanley Theatre people, further com
plain that "eight million people In the State
are at the mercy of the personal feelings of
two people as to what they, shall or shall
not see or read." They urge photoplay fans
to write to the Governor, demanding an In
vestigation of censorial conditions.

a murder mystery. It Is lurid, but by no
means Indecent. As a stage play It had a
sustained' popularity and was praised by
all classes of society for Its thrilling quali
