QUITS THE PRESIDENCY
OF COMMERCE CHAMBER
Step Taken by A. Leftwich Sinclair
in Hope of Aiding Consolidation
of Civic Organizations.

A. Leftwich Sinclair. president of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce,
last night rendered his resignation to
that organization.
Mr. Sinclair did this in the hope that
it would be a step in bringing about a
consolidation of all the civic and COM
mercial organizations in the District OF
Columbia.
Joseph Berberich, a member Of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce, the
Retail Merchants Association. at a
meeting of the first named organization
Friday night declared that the presi-
dents of all these organizations should
resign and merger be effected. Mr. Sim
clair's resignation was the sequel.
Mr.. Berberich last night stated that
early this week he would take definite
steps looking to the union of all the
civic and commercial organizations in
Washington. He claims that a single,
large organization would be more ef-
fective and much more powerful than
the united strength of the existing
bodies.
In a letter to the members of the or
ganiZation last night. in which Mr.. Sim
clair rendered his resignation, he said:
"Our Forward Washington move
ment has developed a very strong sem
timent among the business and profess
sional men and women of the District
in favor of the merger of our trade
bodies. There is very general and
insistent demand in the District for an
organization, in keeping with the pres
tige, population and wealth of the ma
tion's capital. strong in membership,
strong in finance and equipped to rem
der efficiently the community service so
greatly needed"

SAFETY FOR NEUTRALS.
German Admiralty Promises Unmo-
Tested Passage to Vessels in England

LONDON. June 2.-The German ad-
miralty has promised safe passage
through the barred zcne to all neutral
vessels in English ports on July 1, pro-
vided they carry distinctive signs and
follow indicated routes. according to a
Reuter- dispatch from Berlin by way of
Amsterdam. The announcement reiter-
ates that England has prevented the
sailing of neutral vessels from British
ports on dates fixed by the German ad-
miralty as safe. thus hampering the
supply of food to neutral countries.
It adds that. since the German sea
barrier is raised only against the
enemies of Germany. "the German naval
command, despite serious military OBJ
Jections. has decided once more to meet
the wishes of the neutrals who are suf-
fering through England's arbitrariness
and therefore has given orders that all
neutral ships in England shall be
granted safe passage through the
barred zone on July 1. provided they
carry distinctive signs and follow in
dfcated routes"
German assurances of safe conduct to
Swedish and Norwegian steamers in
British ports on July 1 were announced
on May 80.
