OFFICIAL DENIAL.

Vienna. April 11-(Via Paris. AN off,
cial statement giving the text of tele-
gram from Emperor Charles to Emperor
William, relative to the claim of Pre-
mier Clemenceau that the former recog-
nized the claims of France to Alsace-
Lorraine. was issped today. The state
ment reads:
Il accuse NJ. Clemenceau of piling up
lies to escape the web of lies in which
he Is involved, making the false asser-
ton that 1 in some manner recognized
Frances claims to Alsace-Lorraine as
just.
II indignantly repel the assertion. At
the moment, when Austro-Hungarian
cannon are firing alongside of the Ger
man artillery on the western front, no
proof is necessary that l am fighting
for your provinces"
The statement concludes that no in
tr:gue can endanger the perfect solidar-
ity between the two empires.

war CHEST ASSOCIATION
To BE Discussed mt Regular Weekly
Meeting Of Chamber Of Commerce
Tomorrow Night.

The regular Tuesday evening meet
ing at the Chamber of Commerce will
have the War Chest Association up
for discussion. This is a subject that
has been talked of for some time and
more than likely some action will be
taken at this meeting
In many cities the War Chest Asso-
citation has proven very satisfactory
method of handling the city's contrib
utions toward the calls for help from
the various governmental agencies.
The plan that is used in most cities
is to have every citizen to contribute
a nominal sum each month toward a
fund and any call for financial assist
ance from governmental war agencies
will be referred to a committee This
committee shall have supervision of
the distribution of the fund.
The object for such an association
is that it does away with the continual
solicitations from various agencies,
all through the year. The one drive
will be made and that will end the
solicitation for aid from governmental
war agencies. The men who are usu-
ally called on for every campaign will
be called ON for this one campaign,
thereby giving them more time to de-
vote to their own affairs.
1t is the desire of the committee
that those that can arrange to attend
will do 50, as they are desirious of
hearing expressions both for and
against the proposed plan before they
decide to adopt it.
