Senator George e. Chamberlain of
Oregon, chairman of the United States
Senate committee on Military Affairs
will address the next luncheon of the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce on
Wednesday, November "a, on the sub
ject OF Preparedness" Senator Cham
berlain is the man who will have
charge of putting the Army Increase
Bill through the Senate this winter
and his speech therefore will be an
authentic description of what Con-
gress will be expected to do for the
army.
Senator Chamberlain in an inter-
view the other day said:
1T is all dream that the belliger-
ents will be so crippled by the war
that even the victors cannot match us.
The United States was never so
strong as it was right after the Civil
War, when it's army was a perfect
machine. The European belligerents
will find themselves with armies
stronger than ever before"

Delegations from some of the lead
ing corporations of the State waited
upon the Board during it's session, to
express their intention to cooperate
with the State authorities toward max
ing the Workmens Compensation
act success. These representatives
of great interests said that they de-
sired to conform with the new legisla-
ton, which goes into effect January l.
Informal discussion with members of
the Board followed. Chairman Mack
ey on behalf of the Board thanked the
members of the delegation for their
visit and assured them that while the
interests of the working men would
be protected under the new act, vet
the employers would be given abso-
lutte fair play"
