pulpits of all denominations. The
leaders of the movement say they
hope to have $4,000, 900 votes pledged
to the cause before September.
The national executive committee
for local option, encouraged by the
response given to the movement in
koningsberg during the last several
days, has designated the week begin.

mobilize the dry sentiment, in hope
OF lmpresSing both national and local
legislative bodies with the sincerity
OF the movement and the determine

Many Lines Represented.
The national committee comprises
40 members, each of whom represents
an influential political, civic, religious,
social or labor organization. It's
chairman is DR.. F. H. Otto Nellie, di-
rector of the German Preachers Sem

marks for beer, wines and liquors,
which is anything but f1attering when
it is recalled that the Dawes repara-

Thus far the campaign has been
waged wholly with meager funds

the national committee admits that
it is often pressed for money with

and other expenses.
DR.. NELLIE has received numerous
messages from the United States
complimenting him on the progress
made by the movement in Germany.
