their trail with lively airs, a COM

The speaking tour marked the close

least $4,000.
1t was a novel sight for the vote
less people of the District to see the
leaders of the citizens associations
setting forth their platform to the
street corner crowds from the rum
ming board of band wagon, just as
the voters in other American cities
are accustomed to being addressed.
Wherever the band wagon stopped
a crowd would gather around, while
one Of the citizens committee told
them that until Washington gets the
franchise the citizens associations
are the only channels through which
they can voice their wants to the
city officials and the committees of
Congress.

the only exit. Several Of those who
were cut off from escape by the stair
way persisted when the burning build
ing collapsed, although some were
rescued.

TOXIC, Wednesday. November 10
Viscount kikujiro Ishii, former
Japanese ambassador to the United
States, commenting today in the
Asahi on the reservation adopted by
the United States Senate on the
clause in the German treaty concern
ing Shantung, said he doubted
prove the reservation. The Senate's
action, he declared, would probably
revive the dropping spirits of the
Chinese, who lately have evinced an
inclination to open negotiations with
the Japanese"
1.-The reservation will have no prac-
, teal effect on the validity of the
Shantung stipulation, since all the
rights are in the hands Of Japan. and
the question can hardly be submitted
to the league of nations" Viscount
Ishii continued. THE only effect
America obtains is the good will of
China. However, the reservation may
place an obstacle in the way Of the
Chino Japanese negotiations, result
ing in an unfavorable situation both
for China and Japan, as well as for
America in the far east"

Pastors to Assist Effort.

Today the pastors of churches of
every denomination will dwell at their
morning and evening services on the
duty of every man and woman to take
an active part in the affairs Of the
city. They will point out to their
congregations that in Washington the
citizens associations take the place
of the political parties of voting
cities in working for the community
needs.
William NICK. Clayton, addressing
a crowd that gathered around the
band wagon at 10th street and Penn
sylvania avenue. told them II they
are not satisfied with conditions as
they are in Washington today to join
the organized citizens of the city and
help to make conditions better.
'If you are not satisfied with the
street car service you get, if you want
to see the public school system i'm
proved. if you do not believe the
police protection in your neighbor-
hood is sufficient, don't stand on the
outside knocking. Become member
of the Citizens Association in your
neighborhood and assist your fellow
citizens in getting what you want
Mr.. Clayton declared.
I'VE hear a great deal these days
about enfranchising the people of the
District. If you want to show you are
in earnest in asking for the right to a
voice in your government, show your
desire now by getting into the organi-
cations which speak for you before
the Commissioners Of the District and
the committees of Congress. We give
you the opportunity now"

Various Meetings Held.

D. A. Edwards of the Lincoln Park
Citizens Association told another
crowd that assembled at 9Th street
and Market place that while the resi-
dents of the National Capital have no
vote, they have an opportunity for a
voice in their city's affairs through
the neighborhood citizens associa-
tions.
These neighborhood organizations
are united, he told them, in the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations, which
recommends to the Commissioners and
to Congress the things which the city
needs. The Commissioners, he said,
comply with these recommendations so
far as they possibly can.
A. ]. Driscoll. president of the Mid
City Citizens Association, delivered a
similar appeal to another crowd as
sembled around the truck at 7th street
and New York avenue. He pointed to
numerous improvements the citizens
associations have obtained in recent
years as reasons why every man who
has not taken an active interest in the
affairs of the con- unity should start
now by joining ali association.
w. B. Westlake, president of the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
and Jesse C. Suter. chairman of the
central committee in, charge of the
drive, accompanied the four-minute
speakers on their tour Of the city.

slogan, "Organized Citizenship" at

the truck paraded through the down

Charles E. Wooden, furnished the

Each of the associations has organ

campaign over these teams will start
