London, April 7.--Godfrey Isaacs
says the Marconi company Of which
he is managing director, expects to
have commercial service Of wireless
telephones In operation in New York
and London early next year
The company hopes to make ar-
rangements with New York and Lon
don telephone companies so that
eventually the British and American
wireless phone subscribers will be
able to sit at their desks and Hello

Isaac foresees the day not far dis
tant, when pocket wireless telephones
will be in wide use. A business mans
secretary. Isaac, says, will hear a bell
ring in his pocket, will put receiver
to his ear and hear "his masters
voice. give him instructions, probably
from an airplane hundreds of miles
away.
The Daily Mail says that the Brit
ish government probably will compel
all commercial airplanes and airships
to carry wireless telephone or tele-
graph equipment. Larger machines o.
both types may be compelled to car

"MA" SUNDAY PUTS
HER FOOT DOWN ON PLAN
FOR A BIG MEETING AT
ST. PETERSBURG

st. Petersburg, April Ma"
Sunday says Billy Sunday cannot
come to st. Petersburg to hold a re-
vival meeting, at the conclusion o.
meetings in Tampa and that seems
to be final. "Ma" Sunday declares
that Mr.. Sunday is not in any con-
dition. physically, to hold a big re-
vivai I'm St. Petersburg or in any
other city and SO she puts her veto
on the plans the evangelist and his
party had made to come over here.
The local committee In charge OF the
Sunday meeting here heard what Mrs
Sunday had to say and then came
back to St. Petersburg feeling that
there was little hope Of getting Mr.
Sunday. But they have not given UP
entirely. Homer Rodeheaver Is OF
their side and wants to come here
and wants Mr.. Sunday TO preach here
and It may be arranged, II Mr.. Sun
day shows improvement In his condi-
ton before leaving Tampa.
The committee from st. Petersburg
went to Tampa and talked with Mr..
Sunday and Mr.. Rodeheaver and ev-
erything was arranged. Mr.. Sunday
agreed to come to st. Petersburg and
also agreed to speak In Williams
park. He wrote letter to this ~ef-
feet and the committee came back
here, last week, much pleased to think
that everything had been settled. A
meeting of local ministers was held
to confirm the promises and state
ments made to Mr.. Sunday by the
committee. 1t seemed to be all def

come.
That was Monday of last week.
Mrs. Sunday was away from Tampa
when the plans were made and was
not consulted. That is where the
committee slipped up. 1t had an

WIPED OUT FOUR
MACHINE GUN NESTS AND
BROUGHT BACK 20 HUNS
(Another of the Ten Best Hero
Stories Picked by Pershing.)

Washington, April 7.-(By A. Il,
Geldof) The final American advance
on the Meuse-Argonne front began on
Nov ten days before the armistice
was signed. In six days Pershing's
men took $4,000 prisoners. and drove
the Germans to a point where moth
ing but surrender or an armistice
could save them from disaster
The Ssth division was thrown into
the line twice during the final bat
tie. and with the other twenty divi-
sions engaged won for itself ever
lasting fame. #0.
Harold A. Furlong OF Detroit was
first lieutenant Of Company M, $3.50
Infantry of the seth. When the fight
began on Nov. 1, Lieut.. Furlong's
regiment advanced through the Bois
de Bantheville until the terrific ma
chine-gun fire from the front became
so hot 1t could go no farther.
The company commander and many
of the soldiers in Furlong's company
had been killed. Lieut.. Furlong as
sumed command of his company.
Knowing that unless that machine
gun nest was "mopped up his com
rany would be slaughtered, Lieut..
Furlong rapidly decided that 1t was
his duty, and his alone, to save his
men from certain death.
Accordingly he left his company
and started out ahead to wipe out
those machine gunners. With re-
markable GOODNESS and .unexampled
pied courage, he crossed an open
space several hundred yards wide in
front of the American line, all the
time under heavy fire.
Reaching the woods again on the
opposite side of the open area, the
brave young officer. crouching behind
trees and taking cover in shell-holes
whenever he could, worked his way
around to the rear of the line OF ma
chine guns.
There were four of them in the
woods, pouring a constant fire into
the American line opposite. Lieut..
Furlong closed in on the nearest one
