Netherlands
 Prepare For Defense Flooding

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 9 (H) - The Netherlands cleared out vil- lages for new "Waterline" re eions preparatory to defense flooding and Belgium raised her mobilization to near the peak fig ure of about 600,OO0 men.
 Passenger service out of Am sterdam was ordered restricted beginning at four pm. Tn view of the extraordinary measures taken by the railways company the order was believed generally due to heavy precautionary movements of troops to the east ward. The actions of the two na- tons was interpreted as evidence of wary determination to be ready for any turn of the Europ can war. Official sources of both however, insisted they feared nc immediate danger to their res pective countries.

Says War May
 Turn Into A Violent Conflict

LONDON, Nov. g (P) Prime Minister Chamberlain declared that the stiff -necked men who run Germany speak no language but that of force, therefore it is not very hopeful for a satisfac- tory response from the German chancellor"
 The peace proposals of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands and King Leopold of Belgium were contained in a declaration delivered before the Lord May or's luncheon by Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir John Simon. As Chamberlain was suffering from gout and unable to be pres ent, he wrote We don't want to continue the war day longer than necessary if a satisfactory settlement can be obtained any other way Observing that this was the strangest of wars and must seem to many as no war at al but rather a state of seige,' he continued at any moment at may change into a violent conflict"

Another meet ing is now called for 8 pm. Wed nesday. November 15 in the of flee of the Maynard Columbus Hospital. If the response at that time does not constitute a quO- rum it is believed that the local chapter will have to be dissOlv- ed.

However, the present Offic CTS feel that they have given as much time in the past as they were able and cannot continue as officers, but are willing to con- tinue as members. The local chapter now has on deposit in the Miners & Merchants Bank at Nome, the sum of S557 for 2se in aiding distressed individuals suffering as the result of natural calamities that might occur in our community such as fires, floods and storm.

After it is removed from the Nome bank it will no longer be avail able for needs in Nome.
 Come to the important meet ing.
