Distribution Problem Faces Socialists With the Hoosegow in Sight--Anti-Army Rally Planned for Day of Game is Rumor

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Notwithstanding a University decree prohibiting distribution of pamphlets in the Yard, and in spite of Cambridge statutes forbidding the free distribution of printed matter, the Socialist Club, undaunted, promises to put a fly-leaf in the local ointment on Friday. It is a pamphlet entitled "Welcome to Macdonald" and deals with the history of the English Labor party.

But the Socialist Club has hired a staff of attorneys and will brave the terrors of the law by distributing the pamphlet to all comers in Harvard Square. A night in jail is a pleasant prospect for the Socialists, and they promise, it is rumored, to place the candidates for office in the same position by violating an ancient edict forbidding the placarding of telegraph posts. With the local elections due shortly, practically all the candidates for jobs have had their pictures pasted on the posts. Where the rivalry between law and order and politicians on the one hand and the Harvard Socialists and their high-priced lawyers on the other will end, lies on the lap of the Gods and the good humour of the Harvard Square policeman.

Among the Socialistic and notorious Harvard students circulates the rumour that on the day of the Army game the Stadium will see a demonstration against war, the Army, and West Point. Whether the demonstration will be vocal or pictorial or consist merely of the presence of the notorious students in the Stadium could not be learned at a late hour last night.
