tempt TO use when they are approach
ed, in the grill room Of the Hotel du-
Pont last evening. Philip Burnet led
the forum, during which the workers
were asked to give their views and sug-
gestions in a friendly critical way.
Mr. Burnet had prepared printed in
formation bearing on the coming loan
and reasons why an American should
support his government at this time.
Others who spoke were Mr.. Wilson, Of
the Hercules Powder Company; J. T..
HIATT, Of the dupont Company, and
Otho Nowland, president OF the Equi-
table Trust Company. All OF the ad-
dressed were educational and instruc-
tive.
Each speaker outlined some phase OF
the campaign and the selling OF bonds.
There was not always a unanimity OF
opinion as TO the best method to follow
in trying TO convince those who had
not zest for the loan, but IL was
through these varied opinions that a
more thorough understanding OF the
problems Of the drive was reached.
The question of inviting women
workers 10 these forums was put up
to the men and they unanimously vOt-
ed TO ask the members OF the wOmen's
committee to attend and take part. The
forum will be continued tonight at 8
o'clock, and all those who are to be-
come statesmen are invited TO attend.
Josiah Marvel, chairman for New Cas-
tie county, asked those present TO en-
deavor today to line up new captains
and workers for the campaign.
Il was learned yesterday that Billy
Sunday, the evangelist, would not con-
sent TO speak in the open when he
visits this city on Thursday evening OF
next week in the interest Of the loan
drive. As a result tentative plans have
b en- made for two meetings-one at s
o'clock at the High School and one
at o'clock at the Queen Theatre. The
final plans for the coming OF the evan
gelist will be announced later.
Members Of the Clearing House As
sOciatiOn met yesterday afternoon and
discussed with Howard Kinney Of Phila-
delphia, member Of the advisory Com
mittee Of the Third Federal District for
Delaware the quota for Delaware and
the apportiOnment Of the amount TO

ures.
