Board of Trade Will Discuss 1t To-
morrow Night
The commercial exposition at Phila-
delphia for the advancement of the in
terests of American manufacturers in
foreign markets, opens tomorrow. The
Worcester board of trade has been IN
vited to take part. and, while it is not
likely that great number of the mem
bers will attend, it is quite certain that
President I. e. Comins and Secretary
Charles E. Squier will be present IN
their official capacity.
The results of this exposition are des-
tined to be far-reaching and if the pro-
gram is carried out as planned the ac-
ton to be taken can not fail to give a
boom in foreign markets to American
manufactures. Special efforts are to be
made to capture the South American
markets, which boards of trade
throughout the country regard as Pc
culiarly the property of the United
States.
Worcester business men from the first
have taken a decided interest in this
exposition, and in interviews with Spy
reporters recently gave to the hope that
reporters, recently gave expression to
the hope that the expectations of the
promoters would be achieved
Some action may be taken at the
meeting of the board of trade tomorrow
night, but in any event the president
and secretary will be on hand to take
care Of the Worcester end of 'the show.
Every business man of any promi-
nence in the city has been notified by
the secretary of the board personally
by letter of the aims of the exposition
and the responses have been of most
gratifying nature.

pay of the soldier to provide for his
wife and child. Sergt. Gerber told him
it would have to come voluntarily from
the soldier, as his pay would be given
to no one else but him.

occur to him Monday evening, when
doc .f1ts e
heavy artillery, now stationed in Hav-

the country ever since He has been
as far west as Chicago, and has had
several different jobs. He was not
