new SECRETARY
FOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
EXPECTED IN TWO WEEKS
MONDAY LUNCHEON OF Or
GANIzATIoN AN INFORMAL
AFFAIR.

Informality prevailed on every hand
at the MONDAY luncheon Wednesday
of the chamber of commerce. Formal
speech-making was tossed aside and
such talking as was done was from
chairs. An enjoyable get-togethef dis
cussion was thus held.
Comment was made on the fact
that the chamber will be without a
secretary pending the arrival of a
new man to fill this office, as former
Secretary Leopold went to Dayton the
first Of the week, having resigned.
The question was raised whether
the luncheons should be discontin.
ued until a new secretary arrives.
The sentiment was strongly against
any such step, members present ex.
pressing themselves forcibly.
Plans were discussed for placing
the room in more attractive shape,
so that advantage would be taken of
it for rest room purposes. It was
suggested that reading room, prop
erly advertised, would be greatly ap-
preciated.
Vice President McCrackin stated
that it is not known at present who
the new secretary of the local cham
ber will be. Mr.. McKeand, head OF
the service company which installed
the local organization, has promised
to have suitable man here within
two weeks. 1t seems that, owing tc
the large number of chambers of com
merce being organized, the demand
for efficient secretaries exceeds the
supply. The salaries paid are higf
and the field is splendid one for 6
young man with ability.
Committees of the chamber of com
merce are busy working out plans fol
fall and winter activities and will re
port soon.

Would Mean Reputation Of Wilson's
Policy OF Peace-RooseveIt's
Influence Regarded As
Pernicious

Washington, Aug. 29-Reviewing
the record of the Democratic admins.
tration, Senator Reed of Missouri, told
the senate today that the Republican
party demanded a change, which, if
granted by the people, would mean
the precipitation of America into war
and the undoing of national prosper
ity built up by industrial commercial
and banking reforms during the term
of President Wilson.
IF Mr.. Hughes is to be elected to
the presidency" said Senator Reed,
then it is notice to all the world that
America has repudiated Wilson's pol
icy of peace for the Roosevelt-Hughes
policy of war.
Let the issue be not misunder-
stood. We know, the world knows,
that Woodrow Wilson will maintain
peace unless the nations honor is as
sailed. Thoughtful men know that a
president advised by Roosevelt, in
accord and agreement with Roose-
welt, will stir up war if war be pos
sible."
Senator Reed referred to Mr..
Hughes criticisms Of the administra-
tion's policy and reviewed the utter
ances of Mr.. Roosevelt since the war.
He declared Mr.. Hughes Fin complete
accord with a man who has persist
emily insisted we should have inter
vened against Germany when she in
vaded Belgium; in complete accord
with man who refers in coarse Ian
guage 10 the president as a molly
coddle,' a man of weasel words; in
complete accord with man who
falsely asserts that we were bound by
treaty to engage in the conflict against
Germany; in complete accord with a
man who demands universal military
service and war preparation upon a
scale not hitherto dreamed Of"

Defendant admits plaintiffs appoint

"Does" Are Defendants


A petition to sell real estate was
filed in probate court Tuesday in the
matter of the estate Of the late Thos.

can Tribune.
The popularity of the suit is not
that it is filed by w. w. Williams,
Columbus attorney, for his brother,
James s. Williams, administrator of
the Painter estate, but on account of
the fact that it is "John Doe-Richard

dren, no wife and his relatives are
not known and will be notified Of the
settlement of the estate by publica-
tion.
The deceased, Mr.. Painter, lived in
Homer and had property in Washing

was not sufficient to pay the debts Of
the estate and hence the necessity Of
selling the realty. Painter in his life

SAVE CHINA, IS
 YANG TU'S APPEAL
Asks Countrymen to Stand by
 Yuan Shi-Kai
Correspondence of the Asso press

Correspondence of the Asso, Press, ,
 Peking, April 3o-Yang Tu, orean- izer and chief promoter Of the Chou An Hui, or the Society for the Pre- servation of Peace, which fostered the monarchical movement has issued an appeal to the military and civil governors of the various provinces and to the newspapers of Shanghai, asking them to support Yuan Shi-lxai as president under proper constitu- tional limitation and save China from further disturbances.
 Yang Tu assumes full responsibiI- lty for the organizing of the monar- chlcal movement, and confesses the misfortunes which the movement has brought to China. He says in his appeal that he still believes the mon archy would be the best form of gov- ernment for China, and that it was a mistake to cancel the monarchy However, since the monarchy is can- celled, Yang Tu believes that all lead CTS in China should join the move ment to support Yuan Shi-kai and restore order. He says in his an- nouncement:
 Now that the monarchy has been cancelled, everything should be over. But some people go so far as to de- mand the abdication of the present chief executive. If this is done, not only can we not enjoy the perma- nent peace of a monarchy, but even the temporary peace of a republic will be denied us. But for the effort of the present chief executive, peace and order could never have been maintained in the country for the last few years; and the woes of a re- public would have already been req llzed if the second revolution had not been suppressed. You simply sug- gest abdication without guaranteeing anything. When the nation has no ruler able enough to succeed the present chief executive, chaos will certainly be brought about. You charge him. for having restored the monarchy, without realizing that it IS the whole nation that favored the change, and that it is I. Yang Tu, "ho hrst started the discussion.
 IT there are any charges against the monarchical movement, I am re- sponslple for them all. My views are ohshaken, nobody else could influence
