At the W. @. 4. q. meeting yesterday
afternoon, Birs. Gertrude Stevens leavit'
gave impressions ana facts concernire
the recent W. q. L. U. convention held
at washin gton. II was the largest con
venticn OF the organisation that has even

the most important.

ginning with the opening meeting. whers

ness. The gain In membership during
the year has been almost phenomenal
Ohio comes first In this list having mad,
the largest increase, about 1000 members,
next Is the little state OF New Hampshire
With q gain OF 1850. Maine has made an
increase in It's membership of more than
500. The entire gains OF the year are esti-
mated to be 1900.
The work OF the legislative department
under the care OF Mrs. Margaret Dyer
Ellis Is one OF the stron yest forces the W,
c. Il, u. has. Mrs. Ellis labored long
and untiringiy for the anti-canteen bill,
and that her efforts are crowned with
success is tribute TO her faithfulnsss.
Mrs Ellis remains in Washington durir g
the entire session that she may be ready
to represent r the w. q. 4. U. In any

The receptions given to the W. CT. u.

brillancy. The one at the White HOUSE

Just an hour, was in the nature OF an sp-
peal for the uphuildirg Of the American
merchant marine, by the granting OF
subsidies, as provided for in the pending

of transportation which now confront
American manufacturers and American
farmers was notably interesting and
effective. The peroration In which he
urged that the American fig be restored
TO this mast heads OF the freight carrying
ships OF ths United States was brilliant
piece OF oratory and elected cordial APP
plause from Senators on the floor and the
crowds In the galleries. Little progress
