Committee Named

The nominating comm ttee was
composed of Walter Quick, Edward
L. Merry, and Donald L. Harkins
and the election of new officers
followed.
To Fight Gas Raise
The Noble County Chamber of
Commerce is decidedly against the
present gradual increase in the gas
rate for Caldwell. The raise is a
graduated one and continues over a
siX-year-period.
Three years ago the village c0un-
Gil passed an ordnance permitting
this increase but it is now meeting
with bitter opposition from prac-
tically every business man.
The new president named Harry
A. Semon as chairman of the COM
mittee, with Warren Rogers and At
torney Leo E. Carter as members.
This committee will check the sit
uation and make a detailed report
at the next business session.
Four Meetings
During the war, the Chamber of
Commerce held only one dinner
meeting during the year.
For 1916, this has been increased
to four, one during each quarter.
The business men will also CO.
operate with the Caldwell Booster
club for a July Fourth celebration
to be held here for the purpose of
raising funds to finance the con-
struction of new athletic field.

bania, Mr.. Tsaldaris told delegates
seated in plenary session:
What we ask of you is dictated
solely by a sense of Justice, which
we could not ignore without be-
ieving the principles for which we
have all fought and without COM
promising the fundamental inter-
ests Of our country"
From present Bulgarian soil the
try demanded the territory of
Northern Epirus-a demand which
would give Greece a wide band of
territory along the mountainous
frontier on the northern side of the
Bulgar- Greek border.
Mr.. Tsaldaris demanded that the
northwestern frontier of Greece
bordering on Albania, so disgrace
fully violated during the last war,
be made more secure"
Will Present Arguments.
Il refuse to believe that today,
after all that has passed on the
very borders of greece and Albania,
after so much Greek blood has
been shed on this soil, which has
for centuries been a cradle of Hell
lenism, that our Allies would wish
to confirm this injustice by giving
legal recognition to the deeds of
oppression and systematic dena-
tionalization pursued by the Alba
nian leaders," Mr.. Tsaldaris said.
He said that "at the appropriate
moment" the Greek delegation
would present before "the compe-
tent committees" the arguments ad-
vocating an equitable settlement "of
a question that cannot continue to
remain in allegiance"
In reiterating Greek demands for
reparations, Mr.. Tsaldaris declared:
1T would be entirely inadmissible
for Greece to be left at the end of
this war, crippled and ruined, with
her productive powers completely
dislocated and dependent upon the
support of her allies, while former
enemies, such as Bulgaria or Italy,
retain in great measure their indus
trial, agricultural and maritime
equipment, thanks to which they are
re-establiShing their economic sys-
tens"
Scores Trieste Decision.

ter and chief delegate of the Ukraine
