Before a large and enthusiastic
audience Of Wheeling people, last
night, in the High school auditorium,
Isaac r. Marcosson, now ranked AZ
Americas most famous war eorre-
spondent, brought message OF com.
ing victory for America and the En-
tente Allies in the great struggle
against German autocracy.
The speaker was introduced oy
former Judge Frank w. hesbitt, and
was oiven an ovation. His address
was largely devoted to the business
side Of war, and those Of his hear
ers who had followed his series OF
articles in a we'll known publication
on the same subject found added In
terest in hearing him discuss every
phase Of a subject that is en9rosstno
the attention Of all mankind. Mr..
Marcosson is an able speaker, and
has the power Of describing happen
inos or scenes so vividly that they
seem to be re-enacted before ones
ewes. His description Of scenes on
the French war front held all SPELL
bound, and one there was whose pa
triotism and determination to see
the war through to success was not
strengthened.

Wheeling got running start in its
third Liberty Loan campaign, which
opened yesterday and is expected TO
close with total far in excess OF the
four million mark next Saturday.
The feature Monday was the wonder
full showing made by the womens
committees, whose total subscriptions
for the day were S1l5,S0O. This was
accomplished by the city womens
committees, under the supervision OF
Mrs. Jesse A. Bloch. The country
committee, under the craftsmanship
of Mrs. John c. Hupp, did not begin
on Monday. owing TO mlsundeT-
standing regarding their literature,
which was expected to- come direct
from .|ashington, rather than through
the Wheeling loan headquarters. They
will be strictly on the job to-day. how
ever, and are expected to rival their
city friends in results achieved.
The Big Feature.
The big feature Of the city business
mems committees work was the re-
ceiving OF subscription of s150.00O
from the Wheeling Mold & Foundry
company, the largest single subscrip-
tion vet recorded in the campaign.
Other large Wheeling district corpor'
ations are expected to do as we'll or
better before the close of the cam
paign. =.
Reports from The various commit
tees of the business men were not re-
ceiyed, but much literature was dis
tributed and the reports are expect
ed to start rolling in this morning
and will add much to the big start
the ladies already have. Those that

frankly by experts to be "a gamble
because the behavior of such vessel
under load in heavy sea is unknown.
Success in the experiment Is not guar

Manager Piez, of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, held that In the present
emergency every possible means of ad-
ding quickly to the tonnage available
for war purposes should be utilized.

WASHINGTON, o. c., April s.
Fifty million dollars will be asked Of
Congress tomorrow by Chairman Hur-

plan IS to establish at once five govern

strain on the ship that solid load
would do in heavy sea.

avoid moisture and cold, which retard
