be the duty that business owes. the government in war. The strongest possible emphasis will be laid upon this. There will come the question of how business of the country may ren- der even greater service in winning the war. This will include what may be done to control prices, how prior ity may be most quickly and effective 1y established. how greater efficiency in land and water transportation shall be developed, how we may best provide for and protect our forces on land and sea and those dependent upon them at home, and what steps may be taken for better education ot the natlon on the issues at stake in the war.
 Ways and means by which business must readily adjust itself to the con- ditions produced by the war will be considered Also there will come the questions or how we shall provide for business enterprises not essential to the nation in war time, food conser- vation, it's special importance to bus mess men. industrial relations and employment problems and foreign trade, banking and credit in war time.
 After the War Preparations.
 Of particular interest will be the readjustment after the war for which business must prepare. This will in- c1ude the question as to what will be the course of prices on raw mater ials and finished products after the war, how we shall plan for replac- ing our men in industry after they return from the war, and what new responsibilities in international re- lations may be expected after the war. It is said to be not only the patriotic duty of every live business man who can possibly arrange to do so, to attend the convention in order to show emphatically where the bus mess men of the United States stand in the present crisis. but all will be urged to come in order that each may gain from such meeting all possible knowledge as to how he can plan more intelligently to be of greater service in the common cause.

TAMMANY TAKES MILAN.
Murphy Sends Word Out Candidate
 Is Acceptable.

New York, Aug. 16.-Tammany Hall decided yesterday to accept County Judge John F. Hylan of Brooklyn as it's candidate for mayor this year. It will thus ratify the se- lection made by the democratic fur sion committee of 170 at it's meet ing on Tuesday night, as well as that of the Business Mems league. The word has gone forth from Leader Charles F. Murphy to the district leaders to take Judge Hylan and to try and win with him. There was no disgusting the fact that the district leaders did not want Hylan. While the organization will be loyal to the candidate it was frankly admitted that the campaign would start with considerable lack of enthusiasm so far as the leaders were concerned.
 The selection of Judge Hylan was admitted to be a personal triumph for John H. McCooey, the demo- cratic leader of Brooklyn. McCooey has urged Judge Hyland's selection all along, and when it became known that the judge would have the back ing of William R. Hearst the demo- cratic fusion committee decided that it could not choose a better candi- date. Murphy and his close advisers were placed in an awkward position, as some fifteen or twenty Tammany men were on the fusion committee and had agreed to stand by the com mittee's choice. Among these mem bers are Sheriff Smith, Thomas F. McAvoy, Senator James A. Foley and Senator Robert F. Wagner

 3. What material have you that is completed or could be completed quickly?
 We shall base our definite appor- tionment to .yo uon your estimate of your own ability and on other data " have on hand
 An immediate reply would be ap- preciated.
