EVENS  SUCCUMB   IN   WILD
HOCKEY GAME AGAINST ODDS
Unique  Observance*  and  Quaint
Costumes Feature Largely
The most thrilling event of the quaran-
tine Beason at B. M. C. was staged last
Saturday on the lower hockey field when
the Even "Gentlemen" tasted defeat at
the hands of the Odd "Ladles" In a
hockey game of Indeterminate score. The
play, beginning at eleven with the open-
ing toot of the referee's gazoo, ended by
mutual consent shortly after noon, when
a New York-Washington mall aviator,
with an eye for the dramatic, flew low
over the field, waving in response to the
ecstatic shrieks of the assembled multi-
tude. Well backed by an enthusiastic
bleachers, both sides battled valiantly,
and it was felt that the Ladies triumphed
only because of longer practice In the
management of their species of garment.
Led by the gigantic Coquette and Cyril
(A. Thorndike '19 and M. Ballou '20),
playing center forward for the first time
In their lives, the offensive of both sides
was absolutely intrepid. It was in the
defensive, however, that the Ladies

DE8PERATE CASE8 CARED  FOR
IN EMERGENCY H08PITAL
The Lancaster Inn Emergency Hospital
is now ready to take care of about fifty
patients. Four trained nurses and about
thirty nurses' aides sent by the Red Cross
are nursing the patients under the di-
rection of one resident doctor and the vol-
unteer physicians from all along the main
line. Most of the food, especially fresh
vegetables and fruit, is donated.
The ewes that need hospital attention
are reported by the physicians; the Phila-
delphia motor messengers drive the am-
bulances to the homes of the patients and
the doctors and interns move them to the
hospital. The interns are fourth-year
medical students who have been trans-
ferred from the University of Pennsylva-
nia Medical School. The beds have been
furnished by Haverford College, and
linen, bedding and other supplies by the
Bryn Mawr Red Cross.
In many instances there would have
been no other care available for the pa-
tients. One case was that of a man In a
house all alone who, without any means
of securing help, was steadily growing
worse when his ease was reported to the
hospital Another case was that of a
�other who, herself a victim, had no way
of looking after her child. The children
la eech circumstances are put is
and the mothers placed In the hospital

BRYN MAWR PROFESSOR TELLS
OF VISIT TO CHATEAU THIERRY
Enthusiastic Rally For Fourth Liberty
Loan
Aa Cincinnatus was taken from the
plough to lead an army. Dr. Joseph Hop-
pin, Professor of Classical Archaeology,
was torn from the St. David's Golf Links
last Saturday by members of the Lib-
erty Loan Committee to speak at the Lib-
erty Loan Rally in Taylor. At two o'clock
the scheduled speaker, Lieut. Fletcher,
telephoned that he could not address the
meeting on account of the State quaran-
tine rules, so Miss Franklin, F. Day, A.
Moore, and G. Woodbury Jumped into an
automobile and toured at a speed of forty-
miles an hour to the St. David's Golf Club
and persuaded Dr. Hoppln to tell about
his twelve days behind the front last July.
"It is not a question of whether or not
you can afford to buy a Liberty Bond, you
must save so that you can. We cannot
stop fighting until we knock into the Ger-
man skull the fact that might does not
make right." was his challenge to his
large audience.
Dr. Hoppin went on to speak of the re-
markable work the Red Cross has done
In reclaiming territory laid waste by the
war. The French are expecting to reap
a record harvest in the Maine country
and even the roads are in good condition.
At Chateau Thierry Dr. Hoppin was taken
into a house that had been recently evac-
uated by the Germans. The pictures on
the wallB were torn, the matresses cut to
pieces. It looked as if it had been struck
by an earthquake, and this house was typ-
ical of all the houses in Chateau Thierry.
On the 30th of July Dr. Hoppin went to
a small town only a mile from the front.
On his way back to Paris from Chateau
Thierry he met the 26th Division coming
out of action, looking "as if they had
been through hell," but In spite of their
condition they displayed the same cheer-
fulness that he later found in the ambu-
lance at Neuilly. One of the Americans
there who had just had his leg amputated
at the thigh, said. "There's one satisfac-
tion, we gave ten Boches 'his' for each
one of our wounds."
Dr. Hoppin read a letter written from
Haverford College and published in last
Saturday's Public Ledger, which pro-
fessed to be "a cry of protest against the
orgy of hate in which the American press
and public Indulged on receipt of peace
overtures from the enemy." "How does
the writer of this letter account for the
German Hymn of Hate?" asked Dr.
Hoppin:�
"We love as one, we hate as one,
We have one hate, and one alone�
England."

BUYING    A   LIBERTY   BOND   SHOWS
FAITH    IN    CAU8E,    8AY8
DR. FENWICK
"Win Right to Sign Peace Treaty," He
Urges College in Morning Chapel
"Failure to support the loan does not
nienn lotting the war: It means that we
have not heart enough in the fight to
make sacrifices for it: it means that we
shall be reduced to taxation, a mark of
disgrace," said Dr. Fenwlck In his speech
in chapel Monday morning.
"The Liberty Loan," Dr. Fenwick de-
clared, "is a symbol of our faith in our
cause. If you buy a bond, you are fight-
ing, furthermore, at the end of this war
there will be a treaty of peace to be
signed�we hope the greatest treaty of
peace that has ever been made between
nations. If you buy a bond you have won
the right to be a signer of that treaty."
