Are Available.

Tho financial stringency In the Of
fices of the Citizens Welfare Associa-
ton has been temporarily abated, sew
eral generous checks having been re-

The Board OF Trade gave a check OF
$50 today. in payment OF its pledge
made when the association was started.
and the Chamber of Commerce Is to
make a similar donation Monday or
Tuesday. These payments will enable
the welfare association to meet It's most
pressing obligations.
More funds are needed. however, as
the moneys appropriated by Congress

NO ALLIED PROTEST
TILL PRESIDENT ACTS
Will Not Act on Retaliation
Clauses-Believe Germans
Will Try to Hasten Action.

That as soon As Congress has adj
tourned there will be numerous pro-
test meetings and many resolutions
passed. with the object Of attempting to
influence President Wilson into making
operative the retaliatory clauses OF the
revenue bill. was the prediction, made
today in allied -circles. While Il was
admitted that undoubtedly some Of the
protesting would be from purely Ameri-
can sources. II was declared that most
OF II would come from Berman interests
and pro-German firms.
In the meantime. until the President
does SO act, II he does. II was said. the
allies would take no action In the mat
ter. No formal protest will be made to
the State Department. The retaliation
clauses will be a subject for informal
discussion. however. Such measures.
which any government has a right to
pass as domestic legislation. are not
matters for diplomatic protest. It was
said.
The belief was expressed by one diplo
mat that Congress passed this legisla-
ton in order to give the President a
weapon to hasten the allies reply to the
American notes on the mail and black
list question. According to official Lon
don cables. the blacklist reply Is being
speeded UP.
