discuss ways and means by which the
military forces of thenation may be
provided with what Is required to win
the i war, was the object which
brought to this resort today a large
and representative gathering of lead
ing manufacturers of the eastern
states and New England. ' The war
convention was addressed by promi
nent representatives of the govern
ment and members of the several com
missions representing the allies In
this country. Subjects given atten
tion In the addresses and discussions
included the general labor situation,
coal supply and transportation, the re
turn, loads movement, insurance of
employes, adjustments necesasry after
the war and methods by which the
manufacturing industry as a united
entity can best bring to bear its full
weight, resources and influence to ac
complish the mighty task imposed
upon It by the war.
Graduation at West Point.
West Point, N. Y., June 12. The
fierhtiner forces of the United States re
ceived a notable addition today, with
the graduation of the class of 1918 at
the United States Military academy.
Secretary of War Baker, Gen. Peyton
C, . March, chief of staff, and other
eminent representatives of the war
department and tne army were in at
tendance. The class was one of the
largest ever graduated since West
Point was rounded more tnan a cen
tury ago, and in scholarship, military
efficiency, and in character it was, as
the speakers of the ocasion set forth
in their addresses, a class xne gradua
tion of which at the present time was
a matter of national congratulation.
The formal exercises were held dur
ing the forenoon in front of Battle
monument, on the West Point Plain.
badly beat up that it was necessary
to enter him as a patient at the James
Walker Memorial hospital. The case
finally got into court and was disposed
of. Shortly afterwards several of
these same young men were haled into
court on charges of vagrancy and left
the city. One returned, Levi Merritt,
and was obliged to take a prison sen
tence of 30 da?s.
Shortly afterwards the city was told
that it was bad off morally and a
'clean-up" campaign was instituted,
which resulted In the banishment from
the city of some two score young wo
men, mostly white. The soldiers, how
ever were still denied privilege of
corning here. Meanwhile the commit
tee kept steadily at work and their
efforts were crowned with success on
yesterday when the order denying the
men the privilege of coming here to
visit friends was rescinded. ...ii-

KEYNOTE IS OPTIMISTIC
Interest, enthusiasm and co-operation
marked the spirit of the war sav
ings conference held in the rooms of
the chamber of commerce last night.
The meeting was attended by some
75 workers, representing every city
precinct and township in the entire
county. The work of further organi
zation was done into and from four to
ten vice chairmen were elected to as
sist the chairmen of precincts and
townships. The full list of the work
ers down to and including vice chair
men will be published as soon as it is
compiled.
The war savings drive does not be
gin officially until Sunday, June 23.
The national committee has prepared
a plan which provides for the churches
and Sunday schools to have special
war savings services on that day. Al
ready the speakers committee from
the local organization have taken the
matter up with the city and county
churches and Sunday schools with the
idea in view of having special pro
grams for the occasion.
The local committee expects to
complete its organization at once. The
city plan is to appoint block captains
for each and every block. The block
captains will direct the work of the
block canvassers. These block can
vassers are to first take a census,
which will be done prior to the can
vass for pledges. At first it was con
templated that this census would be
taken by the block messengers of the
National Special Aid society, but the
magnitude of the work was such that
it could not be undertaken by this
organization. So the organization of
the war savings committee will be
used to take the census as- well as
to make the canvass.
P. H. Hason, director general for
district, No. 1, stated this morning
that the chairmen of the three pre
cincts in his district were ready and
eager to begin this part of their work.
As soon as the census cards are turn
ed over to them they- expect to make
a start. His three chairmen are Rev.
J. A. Sullivan, J. F. Roache and L.
Dickinson.
It was impossible to secure an In
terview with Director General William
Struthers, Jr., in charge -of district
No. 2, on account of his absence from
the office. But It was stated at war
savings headquarters that his three
chairmen, J. F. Sears, J. H. Curtis and
T. R, Ames have handed in practi
cally complete lists of their vice
chairmen and that all of these pre
cincts are ready to begin work as
soon as theicensus cards are available.
Rural Chairman J. O. Brown is
wide-awake, as usuaL If any guilty
man In New Hanover county escapes
in this drive it will not be the fault
of the rural chairman. In the lan
guage of the Psalmist, he has resolved
that he will not let "sleep come to
his eyes nor slumber to his eyelids"
until the work is finished.
The war savings committee expect3
to establish headquarters in the
United States court room on the sec
ond floor of the postoffice building
during the day. The Southern Bell
Te5hone company has already;
agreed to place a pnone at tne ais
posal of the committee and it will be
installed at once. The headquarters
will be equipped with typewriters and
other office appliances and a large
volunteer force of workers is wanted
at once to assist in the great amount
of clerical work that will be necessary
before the beginning of the actual
drive.
The war savings drive ts to be dis
tinguished from other campaigns iu
this particular. Usually It Is a ques
tion of raising money and the amount
involved is the goal to be attained. In
this drive a large amount of money is
to be pledged, viz., nearly three-quar
ters of a-million dollars. But m ad
dition to that every man, woman and
child must be accounted for. To make
the committee's work as light as poa
sible it is necessary to have the
hearty co-operation of the entire com
munity. And when you pledge yourself to
buy war savings stamps, remember
you are not giving-money away. You
are simply investing your money in
the best security that has ever been
offered to the American people. The
stamps earn a little higher rate of
interept than liberty bonds. They
run for only five years, from Janu
ary, 1918. On January 1st, 1923, you
get every dollar of your money back,
together with interest at 4 per cent,
compounded quarterly.
New Hanover county has always
gone "over the top." It's up to every
body to help put her over again In
the war savings campaign.
