Central has a very good team in Ilniney, Ford, Hafncr, Itussell nnd Goodman, while "West Philadelphia will run Knck, Price, Perrctt and Patterson. Both of these teams are confident that they will be right tbero at the finish against the strong Northeast team. Episcopal Favorite The interacademic race between Trnn Charter, Episcopal, Gcrmnntoun and Friends' Central promises to be n cry closely contested race this year. Episcopal has won for two years straight, but they have lost nil of their last season's team, so Penn Char ter will be the favorite. Episcopal will not be out of the running by any means, as in Harper and Fnucett they have two very good boys, and they may come through in spite of the dope. Most of the local schools will run on Friday, but the high schools nnd the preparatory schools will also run on Saturday. All of the grammar nnd parochial school races arc on Friday.

Philippine independence is "almost in sight," President Wilson by letter assures the dele gation of forty Filipinos who have come to this country to persuade the American people that the time has arrived for the birth of a Ph'iippinc Republic. And Secretary Baker, who read the President's letter to the delegation, added "I trust that the day is very close at hand." While many newspapers predict that the Filipinos' request will be granted, there arc others that are not in favor of the idea. The Boston Transcript for instance, characterizes the attitude of the administration as "inviting rebellion in the Philippines," while the New York Tribune declares that "this is no time for experiment." The leading article in this week's LITERARY DIGEST- April 19th is an illuminat ing presentation of public opinion upon this problem.

At sunrise on Monday,April 21st, America fires the first shot in the Victory Liberty Loan campaign and its reverberations will be heard throughout the length and breadth of the land. The enthusiastic response to former calls of the Government for money to conduct the war convinced Germany and the world that America was in deadly earnest, that our people were in tin's war to win and were determined to sec the job through at whatever cost. Now that the war is won we must go just one step farther and furnisli the money to pay the last instalment on the debt that has rolled up and to bring our bos hack home safely and swiftly. And America will do it with a will for never shall it be said that this country btarted anything that it couldn't finish. In the name of the thousands of our heroic dead, of the millions of our no less heroic fighters, many of them scarred and maimed for life, our Government now asks as the final act of the peo ple to dig deep and loan not give it the mojiey'to pay these bills. This call then is to you to every real American to buy Victory Liberty Loan Bonds and buy them to the utmost of our resources. Help finish the job!
