 Editor of The Press:
 We boys up here at Camp Devens have noticed the splendid response that was made by the people of Staf. ford in the recent Y MO. A. campaign. The Y. M O. A. is doing a splendid work up here. Their many recreation buildings do much to make life pleasant for the boys. However, we feel constrained to call attention to the splendid work of like character also being accomplished by the Knights of Columbus here and in other camps. The K. of 0. have established oenters here provided with secretaries who have charge of the work, the same as in the Y. M. O. A. Organization. Games, viotrola, piano and stationery with which to write "the folks at home' are fur nished to all regardless of creed or nationality. In fact, we regard our "hut" as an essential to camp life. We understand that campaign is to be started on November 25th in Staff ford to raise funds for the. K. of O.. war work. We realize here what they have attempted, what. they have done and what they propose to do. .I We know too that it, requires money to continue this work and therefore we take. this opportunity through the channels of your paper to ask the people of Stafford to contribute generously to this great and good work. In this, as in other things, we feel sure that Stafford. will do " its bit. ,.'.s...

tions were exchanged by the German
emperor and the Austrian emperor at
recent dinner in Vienna given in hon

Charles in toasting his guest referred to
the close military and political alliance
between the two empires and is quoted
by a Reuter- despatch from the Aus

Il have at heart the maintenance

AMERICANS HOPE
TO REMAIN IN BERLIN
Big Concerns There and Throughout
Germany Are Carrying on Bust
ness as Usual

BERLIN, Feb l4-Most of the Amer
leans in Berlin, so far as can be ascer-
tanned seem determined to stay as long as
possible, feeling that they have no cause
for alarm There are no less than ~ very
large American financial and trading con-
Germs represented in Berlin alone and none
Of them is thinking Of closing up unless in
structions to that effect are received from
home.
To name only few, there are the New
York Radiator company, the Cash Regis
ter company, the International Time Reg
Leather company. Colgate & Co, the
Chesebrough Manufacturing company, the
international Harvester company, the
Johnston Harvester company, the milford
company, the American Express company,
the American Smelling and Refining com
pany, the Bradley Pulverizing company,
the Dentist Supply company, and the Car
borundum company. All these firms have
large offices in Berlin and most Of their
stats are Americans.
Those who We're visited said that so far
they had noticed no difference whatever in
their business. which had been almost
booming lately in some cases There are
that have large contracts for goods to be
delivered after the war The representa-
tive OF one American company which man
ufactures agricultural machines told me he
had contracts for goods to be delivered
after the war amounting to nearly 5000
600. He does not fear that his firm will
lose this business on account of recent po-
litical developments
| At the American Chamber of Commerce
/ the correspondent was told that many in
IQulries had been received from America,
/ indicating that large sums were held ready
there for investment in Germany after the
war for it seemed to be widely believed by
American business men that no more
| profitable investment could be found than
/ in the reconstruction of Germany's indus
tries and commerce That, Of course. was
before the rupture.
Besides the large American companies
mentioned above, some $50 smaller Amer
Ilcan concerns may he counted in Berlin
some OF them, like the California Fruit
company, keeping shops for the sale OF
their products. None of them has closed
yet, and, SO far as can be learned, none in
tends to close, even if political relations dc
not improve. Mr. Atwood secretary OF
the American Chamber OF Commerce, wh(
is perhaps the best authority on American
business in Germany, says that there are
about POO very large American firms es
tabhshed in the empire, and that he has
mot yet heard OF one that had found il nee
essary to close its offices

FOR COAST DEFENSE BASES.
Submarines at Los Angeles, Airplanes
at San Diego.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE es-
tablishment of submarine and aviation
training bases on the Pacific coast is
recommended by the commission on ma
w yards, IN report to Secretary Dan
iels. The commission recommends that
the best location for the submarine
base is Los Angeles harbor and that
San Diego bay is the best site for the
aviation base.
For the submarine base the commits
sion recommends the acquisition of
l66 acres within the Los Angeles
breakWater, which has been offered to
the government free of cost by the mu-
nicipalitv of Los Angeles The com
mission says:
The above base should be used as
an operating base in time of war Pro
vision should be made for permanent
training base for at least IS sub
marines. There should also be located
at San Diego an operating base for
submarines in time of war. The OPP
Grating base at San Diego should be
located at the existing naval reserva-
ton. In view of the necessity for
more adequate protection for the
Southern California coast, it is most
desirable 10 enact at once the legisla-
tion necessary.
The commission recommends that
the aviation training station to be es
tablished at San Diego bay should alse
| be used az an operating base in time
of war. 1t urges the navy Departments
1 to obtain an immediate appropriation
OF 100000 for the acquisition and de
velopment of North Island, on that
bay for use as such station.
