PAINTING FOR
LIBERTY LOAN FUND

Wilmington is TO have one unique
feature anent the women's part in the
Liberty Loan campaign, that Is being
tried here and not elsewhere. This is
under the direction Of the publicity
committee, and will include a number
OF posters by Wilmington artists that
will be placed in prominent places to
remain during the campaign, and then
will be put at auction at the Hotel
dupont and sold to the highest bid
ders. They will be paintings Of value.
Already n. C. Wyeth Charles A. Mac
Lellan and Miss Ethel Pennewin
Brown and Gayle p. Hoskins
have consented to paint posters, and
Miss Marion H. Thomas is to typify
woman's work In the war with one Of
her cut-outs. All the posters VIII typi-
fy the women's part either in the cam
paign or in war work in general, and
each one will be the artists own idea,
and will show how she or he sees the
great drama OF the day, as IL is en-
acted on this side OF the water.
The auction is some time OF as the
pictures will not be ready before April
G, and they will be on exhibition for at
least three weeks. That they will be
desirable goes without saying, for they
will be works from such well-known
artists that any one would be glad to
possess one, and in addition they will
have that never-tO-be-lost interest OF
being part Of the great war in which
our country is engaged. They will be
one Of the many things TO be handed
down to future generations as momen-
toes Of this greatest and grayest time
in all history.

WASHINGTON, March 21--Germany's
desperate gamble on the west front is
actuatld d. in part, by the grim fact that
her Industrial siructuhe-as well as her
food supply Is running down.

brai into a bad defeat.
In any event American and Allied
men here say confidently that while
the Allies may yield more ground, the
BOche has about shot his bolt The
greatest optimism prevails as to the
outcome.
Acting chief Of Staff March Is In con-
slant touch with developments as they
effect the whole Allied problem, and
particularly the American end thereof.
General Bliss at the inter-allied war
council IS keeping him advised.
A report from Bliss last night re-
vealed the main facts as contained in
Yesterdays news, while another mes
sage from General Pershing came in
late la o night for DECIDING. March has
promised TO give what information he
safely can as soon as possible.
Loss Of territory means nothing, they
said. Loss Of men does, and If the
German maneuyered into a position
where he could push on TO Paris or
the channel ports. then would affairs
be critical. The German is losing men
at a very costly rate, far more so than
the Allies. That is what counts, the eX-
pefts say.
So when the final toll is taken 1t Is
believed the drive will 80 down as an
other German 'washout" provided the
Teuton is held In the next few days.
