BUSINESS organizations in all CIVIL
lied countries of the world, and par
ticularlv in South American and ar
Eastern countries, are being invited 10
send delegates.
resolution is now pending before
the Congress of the United States
which extends official government
recognition to the International Con-
eress and under which the United
States government will itself extend
invitations to the governments of the
world. in addition to the business or
carnations, to be represented.
The International Congress OF
Chambers of Commerce and Industrial
and Commercial Associations is an or
sanization representing the business
men of the entire world. The pur-
pose of the Congress is to facllltate
the commercial intercourse OF nations,
and to promote cordial relationship ne
tween them. 1t strives to secure mar :
mony of action on all international
questions affecting commerce ana TRACE
by enlisting the cooperation OF the
various nations to obtain uniform
laws with reference to commercial
matters. TO this end it considers at
its biennial sessions questions OF IN :
ternational scope affecting business
and business relations. The recon-
mendations adopted by vote of the
delegates are carried ont by per-
nanent committee, the headquarters
of which are at Brussels, and whieh
keeps in touch with the constituent
organizations and the governments oil
all countries.
This Congress will give considera-
ton to number of important ques-
tons affecting international CONNER
ciaI relations. The questions to be
considered will be selected by the
permanent committee from among
those suggested by the constituent or
CARNATIONS, and viii be announced in
advance of the Congress.
These congresses have attained a
notable place in the business life of
Europe, where the Chambers of Com
merce are almost governmental in
character.
The leading business organizations
of Europe are already members OF the
International Congress, the represen-
tation from the great commercial
countries of England, Germany and
France being especially strong. The
decision to hold the fifth Congress on
this side of the Atlantic has given
marked impetus to the American mem
bership in both North and South
America Scores of the leading pro-
gressive business bodies of the United
States have already joined, or will
act upon the matter within few
months. 1t is already certain that
the business men of America are eager
to cooperate with those of the other
nations in. the effort to promote inter-
national commercial good will.

The new fire alarm box which was
ordered a short time ago by the Au-
gusta fire department, arrived, Thurs
day, and will be at once placed in
position. 1t will be known as Box rs
and will be placed at the junction of
Washington street and Northern av-
enue. Box 81, now at the corner of
Northern avenue and oxford street,
will be moved TO the corner of North
ern avenue and Cumberland street
and Box 20. which is located on Wash
ington street. opposite st. Augustines
church, will be moved to the corner
of Washington and Cumberland
streets, thus giving much better fire
protection to the Cushnoc Heights sec
ton. The new box has all the latest
improvements, the most noticeable Of
which is the placing of the key in
the box with the glass cover over it,
instead of upon the post. This pre-
sents the keyhole from being plug
ged by sleet or by moth nests and
will prove much more satisfactory
than the old arrangement The key
boxes Will be changed upon several of
the older boxes of the system, in the
near future to conform to this style.
