Apprentice Club for
British in Portland

Portland, Sept. 1.-Two women
interested in establishing a British
apprentice club at this port for the
purpose of entertaining the youths
whose parents pay for the privilege
of their entering the service OF the
British merchant marine called at
the office of the Chamber OF Com
merce yesterday and presented the
cause for the consideration of f. II.
Mcdonald. the executive secretary OF
the Chamber.
After hearing their plea. Mr.. Nc
Donald decided that it was not a
case where the Chamber could func-
ton, but it is possible that some Of
the British organizations in this city
may be asked to assist. If such a
club were established in this city 1t
would be for the purpose Of sur
rounding the sailor lads with home
influences while in port, rather than
haveing hall for them. These
clubs have been esta blished in other
ports and have proven big success
