' The continued sale of water fowl in the city, where they are displayed by dealers who have purchased them from hunters, has attracted the attention of the state and federal officers and somebody is likely to fall afoul of the law on account of it.

The central memorial committee and the ladies' committee will meet this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock in the cham ber of commerce to discuss questions pertaining to the memorial whica the chamber of commerce plans to have erected to the meory of New Han over's soldiers who have given their lives for their country in the struggle for the preservation of democracy and freedom. It is very probable that the commit tee will decide at its meeting this af ternoon the exact date for commencing "the campaign to raise- funds for the memorial. It is proposed to erect a monument on Market street between Front and Second costing approximate ly $25,000, and in order to raise this sum a popular movement will be in augurated by the committee to give every citizen of Wilmington and New Hanover county an opportunity to sub scribe to the memorial fund. The committee expects to make the movdteient for the erection of a fitting tribute to New Hanover's heroes a spontaneous action on the part of the city as a whole. Sub-committees to look after various details in regard to the memorial will be appointed, and every organization, both fraternal and commercial, will be requested to par ticipate in the project. It is probable that the committee will decide this afternoon that the date for commencing the campaign should be just after the new year. A committee to select the design of the monument likely will be named this afternoon. LENGTHY DAMAGE SUIT Case of Mrs. Powers Against Three De fendants Still On. The suit of Mrs. Emma T.

Canadian Soldier Will Relate His Ex periences in the Front Line Trench es Lnrge Crovr "! is Expected to foe Present. Private C. S. Mason, formerly a mem ber of the 54th Canadian battalion, who was in the front line trenches for many months during some of the most severe fighting of the war, will tell of his experiences in action when he ad dresses a Wilmington audience at the Academy of Music tonight at 8:30 o'clock. Private Mason's experiences have been such as to enable him to hold the attention of an audience, and the Red Cross society, under the. auspices of which he will speak, considers itself very fortunate in having been able to secure him for this occasion. While speaking under the auspices of and for the benefit of the Red Cross, Private Mason wiU not confine his remarks to the work of that organization but will relate his experiences as well. He will, however, tell how the skill of the nurs es of this organization resulted in hav ing restored to him the full use of one limb and the partial use of the other. Fighting for 16 months on the Ypres salient during the early stages. of the war, Private Mason had many experi ences which will be interesting to the public. The allies did not have the superiority in either men or artillery while he was on the Ypres front, and where one shell was fired by the allies along about the first there were 1,000 being fired when the armistice was signed. He also took part in the first allied offensive on the Sorpme front, which was launched September 15, 1916. He went from there to Vimy Ridge and after taking part in the big push of April, 1917, he was severely wounded as he and a party were preparing to move to Flanders. Private Mason sus tained his wound by the bursting of a shell. He was completely paralyzed from the waist down. The Red Cross took him in charge and through skillful treatment the use of one of his limbs has been entirely restored and the other practically so, and to the RedCross he gives all the credit for his present condition. The meeting will be presided over by Louis J. Poisson and Allen Stuart, also a Canadian soldier will introduce the speaker. Piano selections will be rendered by W. G. Robertson, while F. H. Willetts. who also served in the Canadian army will sing. The ladies of the Red Cross society are urged to be present as seats will be reserved for them. . The, following have been asked to sit on the stage: J. P. Herring, Dozier Latta, C. B. Newcomb. Mrs. H. L. Vol lers, Mrs. M. L. Stover, C. C. Chadbourn, E. T. TajHor, Isaac Wright, Mrs. L. B.
