BOARD OF CONTROL
Allies in Note Concerning Situation
Declare There Are Delays
and Ill Will

Paris, oct. 13.-The note of the
Allies to Germany concerning the
Baltic situation declares that there
are delays and i'll will, in spite of
the remonstrances of the Allies in
the evacuation of the Baltic prov
inces. 1t does not admit of the rea-
sons put forth by Germany for the
delay.
Then, saying that the situation in
Lettonia has been aggravated by the
attacks of the German troops, the
Allies announce that it is their in
tention to keep up in their entirety
the coerciVe measures announced
September 27 as long as the evacua-
ton is to be continued and to assist
in the execution of these measures.
The note accepts the proposal
made by Germany to send a control
commission to the Baltic. a prompt
reply to the note is asked for. 1t
is stated in the note that Germany
will be held responsible for any acts
of hospitality against representatives
of the Allies.

1T is difficult not to believe that
their long delay has been designed,

many of us are too busy, or too
thoughtless, to come to Chamber

Why cannot a campaign be con-
Quoted, similar to other cam

Why not call upon the men who
put over the Fifth or Victory

when these men come to us we
can pay our money without trou-

Mr.. Mccormick this morning
was wondering whether a cam
