BOARD. Of TRADE
WILL NOT ACT
SECRETARY SMITH WAS UNABLE
TO GET A QUORUM TO CON-
q, SIDER WIRING PRESIDENT.

| no action has been taken by the
Brunswick board of trade as request
ed q few days ago. when a telegram
| was received FROM George Pope, presi-
dent OF the National Manufacturers as
ISOLATION with headquarters in New
York City.
Secretary Smith endeavored to get
meeting of the board of directors last
Saturday for he purpose of deciding
upon their action. The matter was de-
ferred though until yesterday when 1t
was thought action would be taken.
Secretary A. NJ Smith stated yes
erday that it was impossible to take
any action as quorum of the direc-
tors could not be obtained. Four mem
bers of the board Of directors were out
of the city. Several others were bust
ly engaged with business and could
not be present. The three who did
promise to be present at the meeting
were telephoned later in the day that
owing to the fact that quorum could
not be secured there would be no meet
ing.
In the meantime the situation at
Washington has almost completely
changed. Now it would be of little
avail for business men over the coun-
try to wire the president as the mat
ter has almost been taken out OF his
hands by reason OF he irreconcilable
difference between the employees and
the railroads. The only way it seems
the disastrous strike can now be avert
ed is for congress to take hand.

GERARD GETS PROMISE
BUT NO U-BOAT FACTS
American Ambassador Gables
Germany Is Investigating
Recent Attacks.

Washington, April 4.-AmeriCan Am
bassador Gerard at Berlin cabled today
that the German government had
promised him a prompt reply to his in
quiry regarding destruction Of the
British Sussex and other vessels on
which Americans were endangered.
The Berlin foreign office, Ambassa-
dor Gerard stated, had referred his in
curry to the German admiralty. While
no definite time was given by the Ger
man officials within which a response
would be made, Mr.. Gerard stated he
had assurances it would be fOrthcOm-
ing as soon as possible. The American
ambassadors dispatch indicated that.
instead of waiting for the German sub
marine commanders to report, the ad-
miralty office would send out inquiries
to the submarine basis.
A number of affidaVits, made by
American and other passengers on the
steamer, Sussex, to American consular
and diplomatic officials in France,
have been forwarded from Paris by
Ambassador Sharpe and are expected
at the state department within the
next 10 days. They are additional to
those secured in England from the
SuSSeX survivors.
