WESLEY FROST
WILL SPEAK AT
C. OF C. MEETING
American Consul at Queens
town During Lusitania
Disaster Coming Here

The annual meeting of the Cham
Der of Commerce next Tuesday even
ing promises to be of more than
usual interest. In addition to the in
teresting matters which will be sub
mitted for the consideration of the
members as review of the years
work and with respect to the future
of the big organization, Wesley
Frost, who was the American con-
sui in charge at Queenstown, Ire
land, at the time of the Lusitania
and subsequent disasters, will be
present. He will deliver a talk illus
trated with photographs taken 10y
himself after the business session.
Mr.. Frost has talked before some of
the more important Chamber of
Commences in the country on this
subject and has created a sensation.
President Tracy announces that
the engagement of Mr.. Frost las
been closed. He is travelling under
the auspices of the United States gov
ernment
That there may be as much time
as possible given 10 the address of
the former consul, it is understood

number of individual districts. He
managed to put in two working days
each weekday and to-day was feel
ing tired, but satisfied. This morn
ing at o'clock he went up to Juni-
alta county, where he put in a hard
days work.
Victor Locoq, I'd, bond salesman
residing at 1875 Pine stret, was office
director during the campaign and
contributed literally of his time and
talents to make the drive a success.
Much of the success of the cam
paign must be attributed to Melville
H. James, who had charge of the
publicity work. Mr.. James is secre-
tary of the William Penn Highway
Association, and is a trained news
paperman of unusual ability. He
prepared the bulk of the advance
matter and wrote much of the dis
play advertising used in Harrisburg
newspapers. He also provided news
papers in the allied towns with
dope" and during his spare mo-
ments secured photographs which
helped out a little to interest pros
pective bond purchasers in the merits
of the cause.
ID. p. e SIS Big Subscription
How the merchants of Harrisburg
responded to the call for subscrip-
tions is we'll illustrated by the great
contribution of the firm of Dives,
Pomeroy & Stewart, which, through
William H. Bennethum, put $780,
900 into Liberty Bonds. The an
nouncement of this good news pro-
vided one of the dramatic moments
at tn closing luncheon of the bond
campaign yesterday and it was the
addition of this sum to the grand to-
tai that put the campaigners within
striking distance of the goal of $4,-
900 900 and enabled the committee
mon to get together and make up the
100000 required to "go over the
top" The subscription wos of sem
sationan large character and its an
nouncement was made at psyche
logical moment. topping off success
fully the greatest patriotic drive in
the history of the city.
Guests and employees of the Senate
Hotel bought bonds worth 400
yesterday. A salesman, ]. l.. Kend-
rick, of New oYrk, happened to be
in the house and at the suggestion
of Arthur Hollis, manager of the
hotel. interviewed the prospects. He
did not meet with a single refusal.
Central Raises $12,5O0
Twelve thousand five hundred dol
lars in bonds has been subscribed by
