Won HERTLING
DOES NOT INTEND
TO RESIGN OFFICE

Amsterdam, Sept. 22-On the basis
Of information from "A competent
source" the Berlin correspondent Of
the Dusseldorf Nachrichten comes TO
the conclusion that Chancellor Won
Hertling does not intend to resign
The correspondent says that though
the minority of the center and pro-
gressive parties are endeavorinG TO
bring about greater parlimentariza
ton of the government, the Solica-
lists alone favor absolute parliment-
arixation.
The Centrist organ Germania to
day discredits the Leipzig Tagc-
blatt's sensational report about po-
litical crisis. It declares that accor !.
now happily has been reached md
that the supreme army command
Will remain decisive Continuing i
says: I'VE are, however. convinced
that the overwhelming majority Of
the German people have nothing in
common with these industrial politi-
cal agitators. There are absurdly
many things regarding which seri-
Gus word must be spoken to the gov
errment. but we can only follow with
suspicion the attempt to utilize the
present position to extend the rights
of parliment. We are confident that
the Center party will become its en-
tire weight into the scale to Euaran-
tee that purely patriotic work is now
done by the Reichstag."

INTENSIVE DRIVE
FOR C, OF c. MEMBERS
TO START SEPT. 30

Announcement has been made that
that intensive drive for membership in
connection with the campaign to estab-
fish a chamber of commerce in Water
VILE and Winsow will be made during
the week of Sept. 90.
The first tentative plan had been to
make it during the week of Sept, 9, but
the personnel Of the teams is largely
that of the legal advisory board and
many of the men who will serve in both
capacities feel that the legal advisory
board should be thoroughly organized
and it's work in operation before at
tempting to built the community organ
ization.
The proposal to defer the drive for
membership did not meet with favor on
the part Of the men who are here di-
recting the campaign until the POSSIBLE
ity of interference with the opening OF
the Liberty Loan drive had been thor
oughly Investigated. Inquiry developed
the fact that active work on the loan
will not begin until Oct. T. which will
leave ample time for the conclusion OF
the chamber of commerce movement.
There has been some expression of
opinion that delaying the organization
movement will aid in making the lib
erty Loan canvass more successful, in
asmuch as the men interested in build
ing the new civic commercial organiZa-
ton are in many cases those who will
also work in the loan drive. Bringing
both movements together will eliminate
any "let down" in the enthusiasm.
The men in charge Of the local cham
her Of commerce movement have devot-
ed much time to the promotion OF pa
triotic drives and the policy OF the
American City Bureau, by whom they
are employed. is to aid in every possible
way the governmental drives.
c. w Otto. the director of the cham
! Der of commerce campaign here, was in
| charge of a similar campaign in Au-
burn in June At that time the national
drive was made on War Savings Stamps.
He placed his entire organization at the
service of the local committee and with
| his assistance the drive went forward
| to complete success.
John P Mack, who is also here, was
engaged in the Pottsville. Pa. Chamber
| OF commerce Campaign DIT tIieil bilhcs II e,
too, placed himself under the command
of the local War Savings Stamp COM
mittee and materially assisted in the
success Of the Pottsville effort.
Harry c. Ewens, also here, proved OF
much help in the drive on stamps which
was made in Canton, H.. at which place
he was assisting in the chamber of COM
merce campaign. His particular duties
as acting secretary Of the new organ
, ization made him especially valuable IN
| the stamp campaign there and under his
direction many teams worked in putting
the stamp drive across.
Much favorable comment is being
made on the action Of the organization
campaign executive committee in de-
ferring the local organization movement
1t is expected that the postponement
will aid in making the effort more Sue
cessful when it does come.
