 Chairman c. F. Bennett announced that tomorrow would be the last noon- day luncheon this week, but the final luncheon will take place Monday noon at the accustomed place.
 Rev. Henry w. Maier, pastor of the First Congregational church, was the only speaker of the day. and he de- livered an eloquent appeal for patri- otism, spirit and financial aid for our boys" as he termed them. Mir. Maier said that in the commencement of the present crisis people were prom to treat the situation too lightly, many considering the war as one for com- merciai gain. Tn fact he had listened to an admiral of the United States navy style it as such in 8 speech deliv- cred in May. 1916, at Newport. The speaker also told of the manner in which the slogan He has kept ua out of war" was treated, but within a very short period of time. the at titude of the people of the United States has changed, and they are now. looking up to President Wilson n the man who has put us in a position to light for liberty and downing of autoc- racy. The war was not brought about by commercialism, the speaker said. but because Germany insisted on breaking all laws with ruthlessness, and the ravaging of poor Belgium. The outcome would show where the right spirit would conquer over that of force. 8ss

 Observe Regulations.
CITY DOING ITS BEST

Newport, June 21.-Mayor Clark Burdick today issued statement in which he took issue with Secretary Daniels in regard to the evil influences to which enlisted men of the navy stationed here are subjected. His statement said:
 The sensational charges against Newport. purporting to have been is- sued by the secretary of the navy are unfounded. It Is true that individual cases which require attention crop up every day but to characterixe these as the general conditions hero is absolutely unfair.
 ''The suituation at Newport for the local authorities and presumably for the navy authorities has been ren- dered extremely dificult to manage on account of the large number of boys sent here from all parts of the country The navy was not prepared to house nor uniform them. Many of these boys were furnished warm cloth ing by the local chapter of the Red Cross and the citizens generally took the reserve force into their homes.
 Our licensed liquor dealers have endeavored to live up to the law since the navy at last has properly uni- formed it's boys. I do not believe there has been any selling to them by tho dealers. We are having trouble with the bottle gang, so-called. but are doing our best to break it up.''
