WILSON WORKING
TO EXPEDITE HIS
! DEFENSE PL ANS
PRESIDENT BUSIES HIMSELF
PRoDDING CONGRESS INTO
sPEEDIER ACTION.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 1.-THE ad.
ministrations legislative program, par
ticularly national preparedness and
the Lusitania case, gave promise to-
day of occupying much Of President
Wilson's time during the week.
The president has engagements to
confer with many senators and repre-
sentatives in furtherance of his efforts
to expedite the work of congress on
the army and navy bills. He is
anxious that these measures be dis
posed Of as soon as possible, so that
other legislation may be taken up,
including the shipping bill, the tariff
commission bill and revenue legisla-
ton.
Whether the president will make
another speech making tour in the
interest of preparedness hinges on the
outcome of his conferences with con-
gressional leaders as well as the Lusi-
tania affair. While the president has
been advised that he made deep I'M
preston on his recent preparedness
trip, he has not yet learned whether it
has had definite effect on congress.
The Philippine bill, already passed
by the senate, was up for discussion
at conference today between the
president and Chairman Jones of the
house insular committee. It Is said
that efforts will be made in the house
to amend the bill. The measure Is
said to have met the presidents ap-
proval as 1t passed the senate.

ter long Illness.
Col. William P. Hepburn, although
twenty years in congress, became best
known throughout the country during
the Roosevelt administration. 1t was
he who framed what later. was called
the Hepburn law, prohibiting rebates

chairman Of the house committee on
interstate and foreign commerce in
the first session of the flfty-n1nth con-
gress he was the author of three acts
out of five which the then President

cause that congress to be memorable
in history because of its constructive
legislation. OF the five acts, four
came from Col. Hepburn's committee
and three Of them-the Hepburn law,
the pure food act and the public
health act-were framed by Col. Hep
burn himself. 49,.
Mr.. Hepburn represented the eighth
Iowa district. He also was an effici-
ent soldier in the Civil war and a
lakyer of high reputation. He was a
product Of the early pioneer days OF

Commercial Association to
Investigate Means Of
/ Reorganization
NEW INDUSTRIES
ARE BONUS HUNTERS
Factory Projects Viewed
as Detriment By Some;
May Change Title

The plan for the reorganization of
the Ottumwa Commercial association
along the most approved lines followed
In cities the size of Ottumwa all over
the country are progressing nicely &C.
cording to the statement made today
by member Of the committee in
charge Of this particular work.
Before starting on the actual work
given u.s." said this man, I'VE made a
thorough investigation of the charac-
ter Of organization and the methods
Of work followed by chambers Of COM
merce and commercial clubs through
out the United States. This investi-
cation has taken several months and
involved tremendous amount of cor
respondence as we'll as clerical work
and tabulation of results on the part
Of the committee. We now feel. how
ever, that we have the matter we'll in
hand and have the benefit Of q varied
experience on the part Of others to
guide us in the reorganization plans
for our own association.
1T Is needless to say that we have
and in plans for interesting large
number Of members in the actual work
of the association. On the other hand
we found 1t general trend of opinion
among all commercial clubs that their
spheres of activity in civic life were
getting away from the purely CONNER
cial and coming to include all matters
Of general community interest. Many.
organizations put the matter blunty
that they had been wasting their time
and accomplishing little good for their
cities while they confined their efforts
strictly to the getting Of new indus
tries.
Zone man wrote 'nincty-nine out of
every hundred factories that want to
move from their present location are
simply bonus hunters and are more
of detriment than benefit to any COM
munity; the hundredth one, If 1t comes
at all, will come for business reasons,
and will require no more bonus than
hearty welcome by the people of
your city
II mention the above matter merely
to support the conclusion which our
own commercial association reached
some time ago. The true mission OF
the modern commercial club is to rep
resent the community and the citizens
in every civic field, not only CONNER
cial but governmental, ph1lanthropic
and economic as well. The change has
even been recognized in some cities
by change of name on the part of
the organization, the word CONNER
cial' being eliminated in the title in
favor of communal" civic 'commun-
ity' or other similar phrasing. Whether
this should be done here has not been
decided, although the association
would be glad to hear opinions of
members and citizens on this point

FRENCH AWAITING
WORD FROM HOUSE
NOTED POLITICIAN EXPRESSES
CONFIDENCE As TO FINDING
OF WILSON ENVOY.

Paris, Feb. 7.-Georges Clemenceau
formerly French premier, commenting
in his newspaper LHomme Enchiane
on Col. Houses mission, which he says
Seems to be characteristic of Presi
dent Wilson's spirit of hesitation,
writes:
Europe has suddenly seen dumb
missionary disembark on its shores
for tour of inspection among the
combatants. He has passed every.
where, appearing and disappearing by
turns like the flying Dutchman in the
mists of the horizon. He has said
nothing, his whole mission evidently
being to observe His task, suppose,
is to report faithfully to the president
candidate the conclusions hel draws
from personal observation as to the
balance of the force between the bellig.
erents.
I know nothing about Col. House, .
concludes M. Clemenceau, ~"but the
fact that he has been chosen for this
investigation by the first magistrate of
the American republic leads me to in.
fer that he has at least the qualities
of observation and good sense. This
is enough to satisfy me as to the re-
suits of his investigation"

FOOD FOR POLES
CANNOT Be SENT
BY j. 5. CITIZENS
RELIEF ORGANIZATION IN CHI.
cAGo APPRIZED OF GREAT
RRITAIN's RULING.

Chicago, Feb. Z. - "We are not sur.
prised at the statement of Sir Edward
Grey, England's secretary Of foreign
affairs, that his country cannot permit
shipment of food to Poland under pre-.
sent conditions" said John F. Smulski,
of Chicago, in statement today.
Mr.. Smulski, who has represented
American Polish organizations In ne.
gotiations regarding relief for Poland,
expressed the belief, however, that in
ternational conditions would so shape
themselves as to make possible the
sending Of foodstuffs to the people OF
that war stricken country.
England asks what is right and fair
she should ask of us. Germany Is will
ing to make every necessary conces-
sion consistent with charity and hui
manity,' continued Mr.. Smulski. I'm
the face of existing military condi-
tions we have no right to view too
critical the attitude of either side. We
must wait until we have exhausted our
efforts and receive an ultimate refusal.
LAS read Sir Edward Grey's letter
to Herbert G. Hoover, chairman of the
American commission for the relief Of
Belgium, made public yesterday, Eng
land demands three things of Ger
many: Prohibition of the export Of
foodstuffs from Russian Poland;
guarantee that the native stock OF
foodstuffs shall not be drawn on to
maintain the occupying armies, and as.
surance that the relief committee will
be given a free hand in the distribution
of food.
"As to first demand, believe Ger
many will agree to prohibit further ex-
port of foodstuffs from Russian Po-
land.
CAS- to the second, I believe that
there are no native stocks of food and
hence they could not be drawn upon
by the occupying armies.
GAS to the third demand, we will
give every assurance that the relief
committee will be given free hand
and that imported food for relief will
be distributed only among the su1er.
