Lecture Said To Have Been
Most Interesting De-
livered Here.
BE UNDER AUSPICES
OF THE RED CROSS.
All Are Invited and No Ad-
mission Charge Will
Be Made.

A large and appreciativ audience
greeted Mr. Felix Limongi who, as
representative for the Knights OF
Columbus of America, has just re-
turned from France and the great
European. war zone
Mr.. Limongi, who is highly cul-
tured and forceful speaker, gave a
very graphic description of his travel
across the ocean, with its submarine
perils, his arrival in France and the
many experiences he had during his
stay there.
He spoke of the American soldier
as the very fittest and finest in the
world; of the love and admiration of
the French people for the American.
His mission carried him into the
places that make the life of the SOL
dier pleasant and happy-the K. OF
C. and the Y. M. C. A. He attended
the funeral of the first American sol
dier to die in France, and his story
OF some of the cruelties practiced by
the Germans on small children and
women brought tears to the eyes of
his hearers.
Mr.. Limongi's address was one of
the best heard in Covington since
the war began, and as many who
would have liked to hear him did
not know of his lecture, he has kind
ly yielded to the request for its repe-
tition and will speak at the Park
view Theatre Thursday night, March
7th, at eight o'clock. The public is
cordially invited to attend.
There will be patriotic songs and
interesting facts and news regarding
our soldier boys in France that will
make the evening very pleasant
one to all, aside from the general
information and instruction as to
modern warfare as it relates to
America and American soldiers,
touched upon by Mr.. Limongi in his
lecture.
Special invitation is given to the
various Auxiliaries OF the Parish
Branch of Red Cross to be present.
The lecture will be free. How
ever, a Red Cross contribution box
will be placed for those who desire
to contribute.

BOND INVESTORS INCREASE
 BECAUSE IF LIBERTY BONDS
Sixteen Millions Expected to Partci-

More than 15,000000 persons are ex- pected to subscribe to the Third Lib erty Loan. Four million subscribed to the first issue and about 1l,000,000 10 the second loan.
 Sixteen million buttons for subscrib- CTS have been ordered by treasury of ficials for the Third Liberty Loan. The system of honor rolls in each munich pality, community or business orsani- zation, bearing the names of subscrib- CTS, and of honor flags. to be given to each city exceeding it's quota, is ex- pected to stimulate the number of sub scriptions. This plan will disclose who subscribes and who refuses to buy.
 Extensive preparations have 'ecn made for advertising the Third Lib erty Bond campaign. Requests have been received from hundreds of news papers publishing Sunday editions for 100000 inserts showing the honor flag in colors, to be distributed April :. Two hundred foreign-language newspapers have requested supplies of poster supplements ..e,.

about two hours, when suddenly hen seemed to break loose in the form of machine-gun and rife fire.
 We dropped down on our bellies in the shallow trench, bullets knocking up the ground and snapping in the air. Then shrapnel butted in. The music was hot and Tommy danced.
 The covering party was having rough time of it; they had no cover; just had to take their medicine.
 Word was passed down the line to beat 1t for our trenches. We needed no. urging; grabbing our tools and stoop- ing low, we legged 1t across No Mans Land. The covering party got away to a poor start but beat us in. They must have had wings because we low cred the record.
 Planting and out of breath, we tum- hled into our front-line trench. I tore my hands getting through our wire, but, at the time, didn't notice it; my journey was too urgent.
 When the roll was called we found that we had gotten it in the nose for 63 casualties.
 Our artillery put barrage on Fritz front-fine and communication trenches and their machine-gun and rifle fire suddenly ceased.
 Upon the cessation of this fire, stretcher bearers went out to look for killed and wounded. Next day we learned that 21 of our men had been killed and 37 wounded. Five men were rnissing; lost in the darkness, they must have wandered over into the Ger man lines, where they were either killed or captured.
 Speaking of stretcher bearers and wounded, it is very hard for the aver age civilian to comprehend the enor- nous cost of taking care of wounded and the war in general. He or she gets ! so accustomed to seeing billions of dol iars in print that the significance of the amount is passed over without thought.
 From an official statement published in one of the London papers, it is stated that it costs between six and seven thousand pounds ($30,000 to $35,- O00) to kill or wound a soldier. This result was attained by taking the cost of the war to date and dividing it by the killed and wounded.
 It may sound heartless and inhuman, but it is fact, nevertheless. that from a military standpoint it is better for man to be killed than wounded. l If man is killed he Is buried, and the responsibility of the government ceases, excepting for the fact that his 1 people receive pension. But If man is wounded 1t takes three men from the firing line, the wounded man and two men to carry him to the rear to i the advanced first-aid post. Here he Is attended by a doctor, perhaps assist ] ed by two R. A. NJ. c. men. Then he is

To effect the needed saving of wheat We are wholly dependent upon the voluntary assistance of the American people and we ask that the following rules shall be observed:
 1. Householders to use not to exceed total of IF pounds per week of wheat products per person. This means not more than X pounds of Victory bread containing the required percentage of substitutes and one-half pound Of cooking flour, macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, all combined.
 ?. Public eating places and clubs to observe two wheatless days per week, Monday and Wednesday, as at present. In addition thereto, not to serve to any one guest at any one meal an crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, containing total of more than two ounces of wheat four No wheat products to be served unless specially ordered. Public eat ing establishments not to buy more than six pounds of wheat products for each ninety meals served, thus con- forming with the limitations requested of the householders.
 3. Retailers to sell not more than one-eighth of barrel of four to any town customer at any one time and not more than One-quarter of barrel to any country customer at any one time, and In no case to sell wheat products without the sale of an equal weight of other cereals.
 4. We ask the ba kers and grocers to reduce the volume of Victory bread sold, by delivery of the hree-quarter pound loaf where one pound was sold | fore, and corresponding proportioss In other weights We also ask bakers not to increase the amount of their wheat flour purchases beyond 70 per

cent. of the average monthly amount purchased in the four months prior to March 1.
 Q. Manufacturers using wheat prod ucts for non-food purposes should cease such use entirely.
 6. There Is no limit upon the use of other cereals, Hours, and meals, corn, barley. buckwheat, potato four, ct cetera.
 Many thousand families throughout the land are now using no wheat prod uctS whatever, except very small amount for cooking purposes, and are doing so in perfect health and satisfac- tion. There is no reason why all of the American people who are able to cook in their own households cannot subsist perfectly well with the use of less wheat products than one and one half pounds week, and we specially ask the well-to- do households fin tile country to follow this additional pro- gramme in order that we may provide the necessary marginal supplies for those parts of the community less able to adapt themselves to so large a pro- portion of substitutes
 In order that We shall be able to make the wheat exports that are ab- solutely demanded of us to maintain the civil population and soldiers of the allies and our own army, we propose to supplement the voluntary co-opera- ton of the public by a further limita- tion of distribution, and we shall place at once restrictions on distribution which will be adjusted from time to time to secure as nearly equitable dis tribution as possible. With the arrival of harvest we should be able to relax such restrictions, Until then we ask for the necessary patience. sacrifice and cooperation of the distributing trades.

A LIBERTY LOAN PRAYER
St. Louis Minister Composes Appeal on Eve of His De-
 parture For France.

Less than a week before he sailed for France in the service of the Y. M. C. A., Rev. Elmer T. Clark, Lit. D., former min ister of the Shaw Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and former secretary of the St. Louis Ministerial Ali ance, prepared the following prayer for the Third Liberty Loan for use on Liberty Loan Sunday, April 7th:
 "Oh God, who dost ever guide the tread of the nation, born to serve mankind witb m exalted unselfishness, bless all our people and their represen- tatives in authority.
 "In this time of crisis and judgment, inspire us to think, act and serve together in the common cause of a victorious righteousness. Touch our souls with high sense of patriotic sacrifice. Consecrate our means as we'll as our men.
 Bless, we beseech Thee, the Third Liberty Loan with the benediction of Thy benignant favor. May no act or word from us impede it's sanctified will. And arouse our enthusi- asm to see it through to a most successful conclusion. Amen"

Credit Men Keep Uncle Sam Posted
 on Ability to Buy.

Liberty Bond slackers among busi ness houses throughout the nation are being revealed by credit men whose duty it is to analyze the financial statements of firms in all classes Of trade.
 Preliminary investigations of expert credit men in checking up the finan cial statements of many concerns in various businesses in all parts of the United States find that the percentasa of Liberty Bonds of the first and sec ond issues among their assets was startlingly small.
 It has been suggested that banking institutions would be justified in bring ing to the attention of their custom CTS, particularly those who are Dor rowers, the necessity for these patri otic investments being made in req sonable proportions.
 Credit men have undertaken to brins to the attention of the public the luke warmness of many business houses in backing the government in its prose cution of the war.
