Amsterdam, November 81 - When
the former German Crown Prince ar

of Enkhuyzen today he received a
different welcome than he encounter

AS he descended from the railway

arose from the thousands gathered
outside the station gates. The out
burst of hostility seemed to perturb
him somewhat.
The Government yacht which was to
have taken the former Crown Prince

be his future abode in Holland,

BUSINESS MEN OF
THE UNITED STATES
Meet For "War Emergency and Re-
construction Conference at Atlan-
tic City, December 4, 1918.

For over year at the request of the
Government, the National Chamber
has been active in forming War Ser
vice Committees of the various indus
tries for the purpose of providing a
representative body of each industry
with which the government could deal
on all questions of supply, conserva-
tion, proirity, pride, etc. These ques-
tions b. no means Immediately disap-
pear on the signing of an armistice,
and it is thought highly desirable that
the War Service Committees should
be held together not merely until the
peace treaty is signed but to deal with
after the war problems as well.
With this in mind the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States has
called War Emergency and Recon-
struction Conference" for all members
of War Service Committee to be held
at Atlantic City on Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday, December 4th, 9Th and
9Th. The total membership of these
Committees is between three and four
thousand.
should be understood that this is
not meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States, but or War
Service Committees called together by
the Chamber for the purpose of dis
cussing their common problems and
forming such organization as may best
fit them to deal with the problems Of
reconstruction that might affect their
interest They are, however, most anX-
ious that this important development
and work of War Service Committees
of the industries should be thoroughly
understood by and receive the coop
Grafton of the commercial organiza-
tions of the country.

estng article in the last issue of the
Louisville Board of Trade Journal:
