FOR A BIGGER BATTLE.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

At a time when some forty-seven thousand people are assembled together for the purpose of enjoyment, and when train upon train brings eager throngs from all over the East, it is fitting to consider for a brief moment the calamitous suffering now being endured all over Europe. Those happy thousands who today will pack the Stadium, with thoughts centered solely on the great football battle staged before them, may well afford to think also of the greater, sterner battles being fought elsewhere, where the yard-lines are trenches, and where even victory brings untold suffering.

The amount collected at the Harvard-Princeton game was $3,200. At the Yale-Princeton game, which was witnessed by 55,000 people, only $5,276.80 was contributed, an average of less than ten cents per individual. If every spectator today contributes a dollar, the resulting total will present an irrefutable proof that American sympathy and willingness to help have not died out.
