MARION WILSON is DEAD.

Miss Marion Wilson, eldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Wilson, pass
ed away at the family home on Satur-
Miss Wilson had been i'll for several
days with influenza her condition was
not considered critical until Satur-
day, when she suddenly grew alarm
ingly worse. The news of her death
came as a shock to many friends.
Marion Wilson was born at Wauwa-
tosa, Wis, on November 26, 1893, and
came to Wausau with her parents
when a young girl, where she has
since resided and where with her ster-
ling character and CHEEKY sdispositon
she has made lasting friendships. She
was faithful worker in the Red Cross
having volunteered her services from
the beginning of its activities. Hav-
ing charge of the hospital garment
department, she came in contact with
both people in the city and country
in giving out work through churches
and societies; and her heart was al
ways in her work thus giving inspira-
ton to other workers.
Death in what ever form it comes
is tragedy; but when as now, it takes
the young, one whose life held out
so much of promise and happiness it
becomes a double sorrow. The heart
felt sympathy of an entire community
goes out to Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson and
family in this their sad affection.
Thos surviving the deceased are
the parents, sister, Miss Florence
Wilson, and three brothers, Edgar
Wilson of Rhinelander, George Wilson
of Minocqua, and Perry Wilson of this
city.
Private funeral services were held
Monday afternoon, Rev. D. ]. Williams
officiating, assisted by Rev. ]. M. Duer
The body was laid in Pine Grove
cemetery.

Adoo pointed out war expenditures are
falling below estimates. and the mon
cy market is in such condition that it
will not be necessary to pay IL per
cent, as had been expected. The loan
Secretary McAdoo said, cannot fail to
succeed. He said:
81 am sure the people will respond
to the third Liberty loan with the
same loyalty and enthusiasm that
characterized their support of the first
two loans. The great events now
happening in France must fire the

determination to furnish all the dol
lars and all the material resources Of
America that are needed to put an
end to the execrable atrocities of Ger

hasten it by asserting Americas might
with increased vlgor in concert with

authority of congress to increase the

(J. w. T. MAsoN)

NEW YORK, March 26.-Von Hin
denburg's stupendous German man
power slaughter is still failing to wrest
back the fun area of territory volun-
tarily surrendered last March. He
has now recovered sixty five per cent
of the terrain then lost. Only break
ing the British line can compensate
the unprecedented casualties.
The advancing front is narrowed.
German shock troops are not display
ing the reckless impetuosity of their
first attacks. The best divisions ap-
pear exhausted.
Nevertheless Hindenburg is evident
ly planning to break through the
southern portion of the British front.
The combat across the Somme being
under the control of Crown Prince
makes its success more urgent to
maintain Hohenzollern prestige.
Thus the slow advance across the
Somme is a happy augury for the al
lies. The British front is solidly intact
where the greatest blows are falling.
