Washington, July 12.-Secretary
Lansing today began working on a

United States viii take toward sub
marine warfare, as affecting neutrals.
When the drafts are completed, Lans-

the latter will decide the policy to be
pursued.
No intimation is obtainable concern

are indications in official quarters that
relations between Germany and the

is necessary to weigh carefully the
phraseology of the contents of the re-
ply Of the United States.

a BOOST MEETING IS IN ORDER

Editor Star: In a leading article
published. Saturday you speak of the
necessity of supporting the Board Of
Trade, and you propose a boost meet
ing. There can be no doubt about the
necessity of maintaining a CONNER
ciai organization. 1t must be main
tanned in self Defense if for no other
reason. And TO let the organization
become Ineffective now, would, IT
seems to me, undo much that has
been done. The Board of Trade needs
money and if the meeting you pro-
pose will obtain the money the meet
ing should be held.
My observation has been that the
reason why commercial bodies do not
get more support is in the ready ques-
tion: what has the organization ever
done ?" And if the board has done
something, and it is shown that il is
doing something, and will do more, 1t
is usually possible to get the support
of men who otherwise remain on the
outside and continue destructive crit
icisms. Men, you know, have men,
ories that are very short.
Putting money into a commercial
organization doing effective work is
b6ust as much an investment as is ad-
vertising, and advertising is becom-
ing more and more 10 be recognized
as an investment There are many
direct, and numberless indirect, re-
turns to be had from putting money
into an organization of this kind. To
support the Board of Trade is not only
patriotic, it is far-sighted business
policy.
1t will always be the few who do
the work. 1t is, after all, the most
effective way of doing things. to have
few do them. Large bodies are
difficult to handle, and are noted for
much discussion and little action.
The directors Of the Board Of
Trade are to be compared to the
directors of bank or corporation
The members are the stockholders
And, as it is seldom that matters are
referred to the stockholders, so
should the directors Of the commercial
body, with the secretary, do most Of
the work
II seems to me that it would be
good thing to have a general meeting
of the Board Of Trade at this time.
Every citizen should attend, not MEM
bers only. The meeting 81 ould be told
what has been done, what is being
d~ne, ard what will lie done by the
Organization / am confident that IL
viii then be possible to obtain better
financial backing.
Before this meeting is held let the
directors Of the board prepare a plat
form, naming the things that the or
ganization proposes to do. Let this
he ratified, and amended If need be,
by the organization as a whole The
directors should then name a COM
mittee 10 see 10 the carrying out Of
each plank in the platform, and
director should be made chairman Of

mittee keeps busy.
If some of these things have al
ready been done, they are worth doing
over again.

nally planned but Lansing and the

ADVANCE OF FRENCH INCH BY

On the Heights of Notre Dame de
Loretta Near Arras, France, July 10,
via Paris, July 11.-After battling 120
days for the hill country between
Bethune and Arras, French forces
now hold all the eminences looking
out on the plain of Flanders, Lille,
Douai and Cambria. Every position
along the national road between Arras
and Bethune has been won except
Souchez and last night another quar-
ter mile of trenches in the Souchez
web were torn away. The attack was
made under parachute rochet lights,
the French burning blush white and
the Germans greenish white.
The most desperate fighting has
been along a short ten mile front from
Arras to AK Noulette, which began
March 9. Every day since some sec
ton of the German trenches has been
taken, lost or retaken.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press went through five or six miles
of trenches formerly held by the Ger
mans and reconstructed by the French,
who now have abandoned them to
move forward. Upward of 100000
Germans have fallen or been captur-
