 President Wilson's address in the senate has received official notice from Andrew Bonar Law, the British chan cellor of the eXchequer. The chancel Tor said the presidents peace aims were shared by the allies, but that, in view of Germanys manner of conducting the war and the fact that neutral na- tions had failed to protest against her methods, other steps than those out lined by the president were necessary to obtain peace

CO AFTER MEMBERS

MESA, Feb. Two live committees
recently appointed by the Commercial
club met at the club rooms last night
and proceeded to get busy on their
respective duties. One was composed of
w. +. Walters, Edwin LeBaron and
Glen Stapley, their special business be

work is being enlarged. There are many
calls on the treasury of which the pub

dition to sending delegates to Wash
ington-not all the way, but assuming
the additional expense of the trip
from Chicago to Washington and re-
turn,-fOr the purpose of encouraging
the work of securing a bridge across
the river at Lehi, the club has borne
the expense OF rooms for the five mem
bers from the university who aided in
the Farmers short course recently held.
These amounts are not large but serve
to show the public nature of the eX-
penditureS.
The second committee is composed of
Francis Bloy. John Cummard and S. l..
Doughty. These gentlemen are the
hustlers for new members. Their work
is made easy because of the friendly
feeling of the citizens for the club \
number have recently came in volun-
tarily, the last TO enter being the Gem
City Garage. Others are talking of the
matter and there is little doubt of the
active growth IN the membership this
coming year, The committee possibly
will arrange contest with the losing
side to furnish the feed. The club has
the happy faculty of being ready 10 eat
on every occasion Particulars of the
contest will be given later The next
