the first and biggest things. 1t is go
ing to have other things with 1t but
they are going to be on the sldelines'
such as goodfellowship, social eve
nings, addresses, discussions ond plenty
of work.
Strangely enough the club seems to
have an open and clear field even
among church clubs in making re-
ligion it's main business. 1t is out
after the men for church attendance
The following officers have been
elected: President, U. L. Ludwig;
Vice Pres, W. l. Guild, NJ E. Libby,
Albert Watts; Sec, c. A. Knight;

mittees are as follows:

HAMBURG AMERICAN S.
s. LINE NOW OUTLAW,

Paris, Jan. 22.-The delegates to the
North Atlantic Shipping Conference
reorganized the combination today,
leaving out the Hamburg American
Line. A notice excluding that COM
pany and declaring state of war be-
tween it and the other lines was after
ward issued.
The declaration issued by the rep
resentatives of the transatlantic ship
ping companies was teXtually as fol-
lows
AT the conference of TIE Continental
Lines interested in the North Allan
tic passenger trade, held in Paris on
Jan. 21. the demands of the Hamburg
American Line, which did not see fit
to appear in order to explain its JUS
tification of its claim for an increased
proportion of the steerage passenger
traffic, were fully considered. The
lines were unanimously of the opinion
that neither past nor present condi-
tions warranted these demands put
forward by the Hamburg American
Line but that, on the contrary. they
were in fragrant contradiction with
the position the Hamburg American
Line has emphatically maintained in
similar instances toward other COM
panies.
The lines, therefore, refuse to recog-
nize the claims and resolve to carry
out the existing agreement among
themselves but without the Hamburg
American Line, with the object of up
holding an organization which has
given entire satisfaction during the
long period of years and thus pro-
tecting the recognized position of the
various lines toward each other.
The delegates met again in confer
ence today

past If the food and drug department
receives the support of the county
