Wake Forest College were tha honor guests and speakers at the second annual dinner cf .the Chamber of Commerce and the State Normal College, held at the ' college last night. The conservation of the na tional resources was the theme .for the dinner. At the first dinner, in the Fall of 1915, Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo was tha principal speaker, and Pan-Americanism ' his subject. 1 - .'. Secretary 'Baker declared that the people of the Nation must make sac t'ifices for the national good, that physical betterment ehould be ' the aim of the populace, and that the Democratic party had accomplished a great deal looking toward 'the con servation of the country's resources. Dr. Poteat confined himself to the Conservation of the Resources of Noith Carolina.".

"I . .... 1 -1 . change the Allies may decide to make as a result of the trade repriaa.! pro visions in the revenue bill will be niade gradually": rather than in the form of a blanket modification of the blockade. By exercising greater len iency in case of detained cargoes, by loss rigorously enforcing the black list, by permitting maila to pass through more quickly and by similar means, it is pointed out, a groat part of the annoyance to Americans could be eliminated without formal ac knowledgement of defeat in the dip lomatic controversy.
