PRESIDENT GIVES UP
TRIP TO PACIFIC COAST
Chief Executive Regrets That
Public Duties Make Tour
Impossible.

Washington, Sept. 9.-President Will
son has definitely given up his pro
posed trip to the Pacific coast. His
decision was announced in the follow
ing statement:
81 had hoped and had even begun
to plan a trip to the western coast
and back in connection with the 'eam-
paign' for the Fourth Liberty Loan,
mott because l believed that the country
had any need of being stimulated to
subscribe to that loan by anything
that | could say, but because | coveted
the opportunity to discuss with my
fellow citizens the great undertaking
which has made such loans necessary
and in which our whole energy and
purpose are enlisted. 1t is the third
or fourth time that ! have tried to
persuade myself that such a trip was
possible for me without serious neg
lect of my duties here, because /
have keenly felt again and again the
privation of being confined to the cap
ital and prevented frof having the
zest of direct contact with the people
l am serving, which would have been
of much benefit and stimulation to
me. To my deep regret, | find that
/ must again give up the idea. The
questions of the utmost deicacy and
involving many critical matters con.
vince me that it is not right for me
to absent myself from Washington for
more than a day or two at time
while the war continues. Questions
concerning our dealings with other gov
ernments, in particular, it is impossible
for me to deal with by telegraph or
at distance from the many sources of
information which exist only there. |
should feel myself an unconseientious
public servant if | yielded to my wish
in this matter and took any chance
of neglecting for a short time things
that must be decided promptly and in
the presence of all the facts.N

TELLS ITALIAN PART
NGREAT WORLD WAR
Dr.. BOnaschi Addressed Meet.
ing At N. E. Church Sun
day Afternoon.

DIR. A. c. Bonasehi, secretary of the
Roman Legion of America, spoke Sun
day afternoon at the First Methodist
church on the part Ialty had aiken in
the war and the effects of the German
propaganda. He claimed that to a great
extent. Italy was responsible for the
success of the battle of the Marne in
September of 1914, as at the beginning
OF the war France had stationed large
numbers Of troops on the Italian border
not knowing just where Italy would
come in on the war. When on Aug. Z.
1914, Italy definitely decided at that
time to be neutral, the word was sent to
France and this liberated hundred of
thousands of troops from guarding the
italian border to be used in the battle
of the Marne.
lie also stated that Italy entered the
war without any trading or any provis-
ions as to what she should have. But
later, when the general discussion came
up as to the division of territory, Italy
asked for no indemnity, but only the
provinces on the northwest that were
originally Italian, but had been given
to Austria in treaty made years ago
The success of the Germans and Aus
trians in the drive of about one wear
ago he asserted was due to German
propaganda. italian newspapers were
faxed by the Germans, telling Of riots
in different parts of Italy and how the
home people were not being cared for.
These papers were dropped from air
planes among troops holding a vital DO.
sition and the result was that in a sud
don attack, being disheartened by the
bad news from home, they gave away
and allowed the German troops TO enter
into the rear of the italian lines of de.
fense.
Now the Italians are aware of this
German propaganda and he thought un-
der no circumstances could this method
be used again TO undermine the Italian
troops ar weaken their morale.

mittee of three by Robert j. Paulus
president of the Commercial club
to officially break the news to 7. b.
Kay that he had been selected to
head the drive for Commercial club
memberships.
At the meeting of workers held last
week at the Commercial club the opn-
ion was expressed that the feeling to-
ward the Commercial club was most
cordial, but that in order to put across
a quick ampaign for membership, il
would be Necessary to plae in barge
one man who would shoulder the res
possibilities Of the campaign and give
his personal attention to the work.
1t was the unanimous opinion that
Mr.. Kay was the man for the job
and Mr.. Paulus. as vice president of
the lub was authorized to name a
committee to wait on him and state
the wishes of the business and profes-
sionel men of the ity.
In order that Mr.. Kay might have
complete charge of the campaign, il
was decided to not name any com
mittees or suggest any plan of cam
paign, in order that Mr.. Kay might
have free hand in not only choosing
his associates, but also in arranging
the details Of the campaign for mem

last week that but a very little work
had been done towards securing the
necessary 400 members and also that

received with but little of the territory
