Business Men of America
Are Urged to Stop Guessing
and Think ConstructiveIy

Warning to American business men
to place less dependence upon the
"proverbial American guess" and to
partisan in dealing with great eco
nomic questions, and to systematically
discourage the prevalent disparage-
ment of the efforts of men in public
life, was voiced by John II. Fahey,
president of the national chamber. at
the opening Of it's convention today.
Il am convinced" said President
Fahey, that If We are quite frank
with ourselves we must realize that
for many years we have been very
poorly informed as to the real facts
involved in great questions before the
country of special interest to US. The
workmen in their organizations and
the farmers in theirs have been far
better posted on matters of particular
Importance to them than have the
business men in their field, but we
have now come to the period in the MS
tory of America when less dependence
can be placed upon the proverbial
American guess. We must begin to do
constructive thinking.
Should Be Less Partisan.
"I believe also that American bust
ness men would be much more useful
to the country and to themselves If
they were less inclined toward parti-
sanship in dealing with the great eco
nomic questions which SO vitality affect
their interests. A number of our most
important problems would have been
disposed of in Congress years ago but
for petty politics.
Another thing we business men
should set out systematically to dis
courage is the altogether too prevalent
and continuous disparagement of the
efforts of men in public life. When the
business man himself has little ex-
perience with holding office or when he
comes to understand Congress or the
average state legislature as it really is
he usually begins to change his views
about public servants If he is at all
fair minded.
'.If representatives or senators do not
understand business questions. u fair
share of responsibility rests with the
business men. for until we formed this
organization we never employed any
method for advising them of what they
could be expected to accept as repre-
senting the business view. am salts
fed that Congress is not only ready,
but glad, to be fair to business and to
cooperate with US in every way posi-
BILE in the advancement Of the common
welfare.
Business Will never get fair copsid.

RUSSIANS AND ENEMY
IN SHARP ENCOUNTERS
Heavy Artillery Action in Riga Re-
gion-Czar's Men Take Blu
kowina Trenches.

LONDON, February s. Although
there is no general offensive movement
on the eastern line, Russians and Ger
mans have had several stray encoun-
tiers at isolated points. The latest Rus
sian official statement describing the
situation in the east says:
I'm the Riga region there was heavy
artillery fire. We successfully shelled
enemy guns and working parties. In
the region of Jacobstadt there was a
successful reconnaissance along the
Houssey river beyond the enemy's en-
tanglements. putting the Germans to
flight. On the right wing of the Dvinsk
positions a German armored motor car
was struck by shell and destroyed.
The Germans fired big shells on the
railway station at Dixno. north of
Dvinsk.
I'VE have established beyond doubt
that the Germans are using our dis
tnctlve signs on their aircraft.
Trenches Are Wrecked.
I'm one sector Of Gen Letchibky's line
north of Botana (Bukowina), we ex-
ploded a mine under the enemy's trench
entanglements. The explosion wrecked
the trenches and damaged the entangle-
ments. Directly afterward our men ad-
vanced the attack and captured the
crater. from which, by plentiful use
OF bombs, they got into the enemy
trenches, where they found numerous
bodies.
I'm the same region Corp. Glouschen-
ko, who is in reality a girl named
Tcherniavika and who volunteered for
scouting duty. got through the enemy's
entanslementS, and, despite serious
wound in the leg and the fracture of a
bone, accomplished her object and re-
turned to our trenches"
Deadlock Unbroken.
In the absence of any definite I'M
portant news developments in Bukowi-
ma it is assumed that the deadlock in
the region Of Czernowitz, where the
muddy terrain has made operations on
both sides impossible. is still unbroken,
and that both armies are making the
best of their situations by consolida-
ton. developing to the utmost the de-
fensive possibilities of their positions.
Pursuing the same tactics which
they have employed since the beginning
of the war on this front. the Germans
again are rapidly transferring troops
from Bukowina to the region of
Dyinsk, with the results recorded in
the official communications.
No Importance is attached by Russian
military officers to this latest German
diversion because 1T is believed the
Germans would be unable to develop a
successful campaign against Dvinsk
without the cooperation of the Baltic
fleet.

Board of Directors Gives
Plan of Financing Adopted
by President of Chamber

The annual report of the board of d.
rectors of the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States was presented at the
opening of the convention of that or
ganization at the New Willard Hotel
today. One of the most interesting
things in it was the recital of how the
organization was placed on it's feet,
financially, with a substantial cash bal
ance at the close of the fiscal year, as
against a heavy deficit the preceding
year, through the efforts, 1t is stated, Of
John II. Fahey, president OF the cham
Der.
Extract From the Report.
This part o; the report is as follows:
when the chamber was first organ
lied the then board of directors under
took the raising of a fund to finance
the chambers operations during the
period of organization. Such money
as was raised was spent in meeting the
chambers current obligations and in
addition the directors arranged for
loans amounting to $4,000. Under the
direction of the president the work
was reorganized and systematized with
a double purpose in view-first of pro-
viding for the deficit during the years
of organization and until membership,
both organization and individual, could
be completed: second. of securing a
proper and adequate reserve fund such
as an organization of the size and
scope of the national chamber should
have. The backbone of the capital
fund thus raised has been subscriptions
of $1,000 year for three years from
far-seeing and philosophical business
firms and individuals who have sought
and received no return beyond the
privileges enjoyed by all individual
members. 1t is confidently expected
that the capital fund will be completed
during 1915"
Tribute to President Fahey.
In black faced type at the opening of
the report is the following minute:
1.-The board of directors, meeting
Monday, January Z. 1916, the absence
of President Fahey, Vice President De-
frees in the chair. unanimously adopted
the following minute:
During the past two years President
John II. Fahey has voluntarily assumed
the burden of the work of raising a
capital fund for the chamber, in addi-
ton to the executive direction of the
chamber with results to which the re-
treasurer's report bear eloquent testis
mony. Such self-sacrificing work in the
nations as well as the national cham
ber's interest the board is determined
shall not pass without notice and due
recognition. and to this end has adopted
and placed on record this minute as a
supplement to the report Of the board
of directors.
In addition. the report states. in part:
1.-The board has not abandoned the hone
of securing from Congress a charter Of
incorporation appropriate to it's national
and international functions, and believes
that in course Of time Congress will rec
ognize its fitness. In view of the delav.
