The Detroit manufacturer explained
to the commission that his company

Apollo Club, Name Of
New Fargo Musical Club
With Bright Prospects
Organization Was Perfected Last Evening-Male Singing
Society Under Splendid Director-Already
+ Planning TO Make Out of Town Trips.

A male singing club, known as the
Apollo club, has been formed in Far
go as the result Of a meeting of A
number of the singers of the city held
last night in the Y. M. G. A. building.
This new club starts out under the
most favorable conditions and PROM
ises to be an organization that will
give Fargo q lot of good advertising
over the northwest with it's good
work.
The meeting last night was the re-
suit of call sent out to the singers
of the city yesterday and while the
attendance at the mass session was
not large there were number of fine
voices present and the meeting was so
enthusiastic and the prospects so
bright that today there have been q
number of male singers of the COM
munity who made application either
in person or by telephone for member
ship. i at.'
Organization of the club was per-
fected by the election of H. H. Wheel
ock as president. A. r, Watkins as
vice president, A. j. Cluark as Sec
retary and treasurer. Prof. Franz

in his statements. They do not ac-
cuse him OF being pro German; they
say simply that their sovereign, being
very deeply pro- Greek. and not be-
ltevtng in the successes Of the allies,
is willing to go to almost any lengths
10 prevent his country from backing
what he considers the wrong horse.
In his belief in the Germans the king
Of the Greeks and his general staff
are one. Indeed. the Greeks who did
not agree with him say that the con-
yiction is the general staff's and King
Constantine merely shares it. His
court. of course. follows him.
The second group in opposition is
the real "anti- Venizeloist' party.
Practically all are known as conserva-
twists largely because Venizelos is a
liberal. At the last election. although
they controlled all the machinery of
the government. Venezilos obtained a
total Of ls2 votes in the chamber, with
SO against him and 81 doubtful
The third group of opponents to the
premier's policy toward the allies is
by far the most numerous. They are
those Greeks whose hatred of Bull
garia is so great they are opposed to
any policy which they believe likely
to strengthen the power of their north
ern neighbor. Many of these are
ardent partisans Of NJ venizelos on
every other head. save that of con-
cesions to Bulgarif- rssa.E
Not a foot of territory, not dol
lar to Bulgaria" has been their
slogan. The cession of territory to the
Bulgarians which M. Venizelos coun-
selled in his letter to the king last
January is to them simply high trea-
son.
Premier Venizelos is working on
some policy which he can follow with
the whole country behind him. I'm
less the king is conciliated, in some
measure. at least, he has the executive
power to dissolve the chamber and
can force a new election, which many
believe would give NJ. Venezilos an
even greater majority.
Nothing prevents this process from
continuing indefinitely. Already the
matter Of Greece's intervention on the
side Of the allies has been directly put
before the people in the last elections
and they voted for it by more than 2
to 1.
Yet Greece has not intervened. The
king still stands Arm. Between them,
affable, earnest, astute, smiling but
confident, is the great Cretan,
Venizelos. who has been called the
master Of Greece"

JAPS ADD TO
!. UNCLE SANS
Big GOLD PILE

Toxic. Oct. 7-Japanese gold in the
form Of coin is being. shipped to the
United States in considerable quarti-
ties to pay for the cotton bought in
that country. The export of gold
from Jan. to Aug. 20 was 34,730,-
600 yen (abour 1855, ,000) while in the
corresponding period of last year it
was 22,54S,000 yen. The balance in
favor of export so far this year was
30,817,000 yen.
The cause of the drainage Of gold
in the face of a heavy increase of ex-
ports is attributed generally to the
generalization of the exchange rate
between England and America. In
ordinary times the balance Of
Japanese American trade, especially
the payment for the American cottor
imported here. would have been set
tied in London. where the Japanese
specie is reserved, buut the present
exchange relations between England
and the United States have rendered
such means of clearance inconvenient
as we'll as Improbable for the mer-
chants in the United States.
The cotton bought in the United
States or Japan has been financed
largely by other houses than
Japanese.

Sunday school work.
$3.50: Benediction.
The coming here of this tour party
marks the first stop of the campaign
in this state. The object is to explain
the great magnitude of the modern
Sunday school movement, to point out
why there has been failure, TO in
struct the Sunday school workers as
to methods to pursue TO increase the
attendance and bring into the Sunday
school and ultimately the church the
large numbers of boys and girls and
young men and women who are now
out of the influence OF this great pow

That much will result from the
campaign here Is evident IL the en-
thusiasm exhibited by those who at
tended the meetings is to be taken
as a criterian.
1t looks as though the Sunday
school would be "out for business" in

Interesting News Story
Sent From Greece Shortly
Before Venizelos' Resignation

(The following was written by The
Associated Press correspondent at
Athens some time before the recent
developments in the Balkans and the
retirement of Premier Venizefos.)
Correspondence of Associated Press.)
Athens, Sept. 20.-Every effort that
has been made to induce Premier
Venizelos to indicate what the future
foreign policy of Greece would be
under his premiership has proved
futile. He has discouraged, even for
hidden. a premature announcement of
his policy.
When he is ready he will make his
intentions public. And when he does,
his word will be final-or a revolution
in Greece will be by no means out of
the question.
For the situation in Greece is very
simple, but the feeling is very pro-
found. Greece, it is apparent. cannot
be against the Entente Allies. They
are lords Of the Mediterranean and
Greece is wholly Mediterranean
land. In twenty-four hours the ports
of Greece could be blockaded by an
allied feet without even temporary
inconvenience to the blockading pow
ers. The Greeks have not forgotten
either, that Great Britain and France,
especially, are the sponsors of modern
Greece.
On the other hand, however, there
are three classes of people in Greece
who oppose Very mistakenly any open
leaning of the country to the side of
the allies. The first consists of the
king. the general staff and the court.
King Constantine is undeniably very
popular, though not at all in the way
that his first minister is popular.
"Venizelos and the king, (and that is
the usual order in which the two are
mentioned) are both essential to
Greece" said one of the most thought
full men in Athens to The Associated
Press correspondent.
IF the people Of Greece had to
choose between them. who would be
chosen?"
we shant have to choose" the man
replied. "Venizelos will see to that"
The king. however, is profoundly
persuaded. not perhaps that the Teu-
tonic powers will be victorious, but
certainly that they will never be de-
feated.
Men who. have tried to change his
opinion say his is not conviction, but
sentiment. However. this may be.
there is little doubt that the kings
mind is made up.
The Greeks grant his perfect honesty

THE Sunday school is out for busi-
ness or has no business to be out"
! The above was the slogan Of the
business men who gathered at the
commercial club at shortly after noon
today for meeting with the members
Of the Sunday school tour party that
took Fargo by storm today.
! An excellent luncheon was served at
the club and from shortly after noon
to 1880 o'clock this afternoon the busi-
ness men listened to a splendid line OF
straight from the shoulder. business
like talks from Marion Lawrance and
DR.. Joseph Clark.
Both of the speakers emphasized the
necessity Of getting more modern
business methods into the Sunday
school and of making the Sunday
school attractive to the young people.
the increase Of Sunday school interest
being the prime reason for this tour
which will include the entire, coun-
try.
This forenoon the time of the tour
party was taken up with two confer
ences, one for the ministers held in
the First Baptist church and the other
for Sunday school superintendents.
Both were we'll attended.
Practically every minister in the
city was out to the ministerial confer
ence which was conducted by DR.. Jo-
seph Clark and Prof. A M. Locker.
The superintendents and other OFF,
GERS of the various Sunday schools
were out en- masse for their confer
ence with Marion Lawrance and Rev.
Walter A. Snow Of this city.
At both Of these meetings the effort
of the tour party members were di-
rected toward pointing out what
should be done to increase the Sunday
school attendance and how to go about
1t and there Is no doubt but that much
good along this line will result
This afternoon there was a praise
service and devotions led by DIR.
George III. Lau at 1880 o'clock. This
was followed at o'clock by three di-
visional conferences and an address
by DIR. Clark. The elementary confer
ence was conducted by Prof. A. NJ.
Locker and Rev. Walter A. Snow. The
secondary conference was in charge of
Dr. Joseph Clark while the adult con-
ference was conducted by Marion
i, Lawrance and DR. George Fl. Lau.
/ The program this evening is an ex-
| ceptionally good one and is especially
for Sunday school officers, teachers

time of meeting for the organization
and to fix the dues. This committee
reported during the course of the
evening, fixing the name as the Ap-
ollo club, choosing the second floor
auditorium of the Y. M. c. A. building
as the place of meeting and setting
the time for the next meeting for
next Wednesday. After the meeting
next week the sessions of the club will
be held regularly every Tuesday even
ing. The committee also Fixed the
dues at 81 per season, which will in
clude the use of the music and Incl
dentals.
The club has a large supply of mus
ic, many selections of which were
tried last night, and found to be ex-
cellept for work of this kind. With
the present supply Of music and the
splendid advantages for ensemble
work under a splendid director, the
club promises excellent advantages to
those. interested in this kind of work
and the prospects are such as to as
sure very large membership. 4@zt
That the club is going to become
known through the northwest Is as
sured by the fact that plans are al
ready under way for out of town tours
and it is safe to predict that the Ap-
ollo club Is destined to become one of
the widely known choral orgaHiEa-
tions of the northwest. .s-. .

Early today a messenger carried a
great bouquet from the White House
conservatories to Mrs. Galt's home in
the portion of the residence district
known as the hub of the social section,
the scene of many brilliant affairs in ma
tional society. Mrs. Gait, herself be-
sieged by friends coming to offer con-
gratulations and interviewers, denied
herself to all but her closest friends
and declined to add anything to the
simple announcement formally issued
at the White House, saying only that
she and the president were to be mar

Tomorrow's party given by Colonel
House will be only the first of many
events which are being planned for the
presidential party before the time Of
the wedding.
Invitations and congratulations be-
gan pouring into the White House in
such volume that special staff Of
clerks was prepared for assignment for
social work only for the next two
months. The president went to his
desk early as usual, and was greeted
House staff and callers, who began ar
irving Immediately. He received con-
gratulations with smiles and words of
thanks and evidently is happy man.
The fact that the president OF the
United States, on whom the eyes or
the world have frequently been TO-
cused in the last few months Of the
European war had decided to marry
again gave the national capital topic
Of absorbing interest which, for the
moment, overshadowed all questions

Mrs. Gait lis regarded as a woman Of
rare beauty and charm. She is youth
full in appearance and simple in her
tastes. She is the widow of a well
known Washington business man who
died eight years ago. She was mar
ried in 1896. Before that she was Miss
Edith Boiling of Wytheville, Virginia.
Her father was William H. Boiling, a
lawyer of distinction.
1t is probable that the wedding is to
be within a few weeks at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Gait. but this is not
definitely decided.
Probably the first public appearance
of the president and Mrs. Gait will be
at the worlds series baseball game at
Philadelphia on Saturday. Mrs. Gait
is fond of athletics, rides horseback
occasionally and plays golf. In the
