Interest was running high last night
among the business men Of Washing
ton in the address which Harry Gordon
Selfridge, noted English merchant. is
to deliver at the New Willard Hotel at
2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Aside from his recognized views on
the war and it's effects on business, Mr
Selfridge is expected to give many sug-
gestions to the local merchants Tor the
betterment of their establishments.
The address will be especially inter-
esting at this time. In view OF the fact
that the war Is just beginning to make
itself felt on the department store ousi-

Mr. Selfridge came to America at
great risk to tell the merchants of this
Country what they must do to win the
war. He originally planned to speak
only at the convention Of the National
Retail Dry Goods Association in New
York. but Charles ]. Columbus, who

The one thing most appreciated by the
men was visit from Miss Jean Ogilvie,
a member of the Red Cross from New
York She was the first American woman
they had seen since leaving the United
States. She came from Belfast with cigar
cites. clothing comforts and food. Two
thirds of the men lost all of their funds
except a little pocket change. Fortunately.
few carried money belts and saved their
money, which. once ashore. they promptly
distributed among the others.
The American officers were hit hardest.
All lost their kits and the larger part Of
they must obtain at their own expense.
Chaplains Wells and Smith of the Red
Cross distributed $500 among the officers
at various landing places. No money was
use for it, as the townspeople everywhere
invariably refused to accept payment for
purchases.

privates found it hard to be broke" for
the first time in their lives. The corre-
