feet and function 100 per cent" said
Mclaughlin this afternoon.
The women of the chamber will
meet Monday night at 1880 o'clock at
the Chamber of Commerce. for their
group meeting. Mclaughlin is of the
opinion that the men and women don't
jibe well in a combined meeting. and
for that reason the ladies will have a
meeting all for themselves.
The old board of directors. which
functioned before the reorganization
movement, will meet Monday noon at
the chamber for a discussion and set
tlement of the old business.
The final returns for the election
are expected to come in rapidly, and
will be counted as soon as possible.

try, 1t being accepted that the cabi
nets career would end with acceptance
OF the allied ultimatum.
Study of the allied terms, particu-
larly the drastic demands regarding
disarmament and the punishment OF
war criminals. led to some doubt that
Stresemann would be able to form
the cabinet.
The belief that Germany will fare
better by accepting the ultimatum
than by attempting a new offer, ap-
peared to be growing. The old cabi-
net studied the terms transmitted by
Ambassador Sthamer yesterday but
without issuing a statement, turned
its attention to Upper Silesia.
