charge Of all American interests In
the Near East, went on record
whole-heartedly In support Of the
American relief organization.

any way" the Admiral said, II feel
that I am more than repaid in
keeping with the success that has
attended the efforts of the Near
East Relief Committee in this part
Of the world in the past. I hope
the future will bring you greater
success. 1t will always give me
pleasure to render any assistance
possible to the Committee as a
whole, to any Of the workers, and
to the great work of humanity that
the committee represents"

Residents Of Methuen, Mass, are IN
grave doubt as to the outcome Of a
special town meeting" which will be
held soon to decide the form Of gov
ernment desired. The doubt Is caused
by the women's vote, which was Of no
concern in 1917. when the decision for
a city form Of government was sup
posed to have been taken. Another
factor is the vote Of scores of former
Lawrence citizens who have taken res
idence here lately.

ment will begin promptly depositing
