Sooner or Later You’ll Have One Bureau is Organized ) Chamber of Commerce rs Chasen---?y‘-laws Adopted; ry Andrews and Mr. Moore in Purposes of Department 7 Fepresentative group Civic Bureau was at the meeting of * Commerce, which oth’s hall for the pur- fizing the bureau. By- by W. B. Moore, the re -adopted. The meet- attended, the purpose g was succinctly stated Christ. ~ Mr. Moore gave fjnmary of the things that fecomplished by the bureau business was despatched ind efficiently. When Mr. journed the meeting, every- ed loath to leave. following are the directors h: Stanley H. Holmes, Rev. Luc- Bojnowski, Dr. Catherine Trav- Miss Ella Fallon, Mrs. 1. Russell, Edward H. Prior, .Dr. T. Reeks, J. S. Bennett, A. Buol, Rev. Zebris, M. C. LeWitt, Dr. fharles E. Swain, Carl S. Newmann, §f. 1. Platt, Carl Ebbesen. Charles White, L. P. Slade. These men i1 meet shortly to elect a chairman 0 will automatically become a guember of the Chamber of Commerce ghrectorate and a vice president of central organization. Much rou- fine work must be done before the fiCivic Bureau can attempt to carry Yout any specific program. " A nominating committee of five selected the directors. Max J. Unkel- bach, L. B. Williams and George P. Spear were nominated from the floor nd G. Russell and E. H. Prior were named by Mr. Christ. Mr, Andrews Like “Home Folks.” President; Christ called the meeting to order and told what had been accomplished by the directors and the executive committee since the Jast general meeting of the chamber. The directors and the executive com- mittee have secured permanent quar- ters for the chamber on the fourth floor of Sovereign block consisting of three rooms which, when opened up. will be large enough for any of the meetings of the chamber. The of- fices will be opened Dec. 1 with defi- nite office hours from 8 o'clock to 5 or+6 P. M., and some person will be in charge of the office at all times. The selection of A. H. Andrews as secretary was the directors’ biggest stroke of business. Mr. Christ said one reason Mr. Andrews was select- ed was because he’ was more like home folks than any of the other . candidates for the job and he be- lieved he would “wear well.” “I do not expect to do anything spectacular,” said Mr. Andrews, “but 1 wish to co-operate with every in- terest for the good of the city.”” When he came to New Britain to meet the executive committee, Mr. Andrews was surprised to find a beautiful city g0 well laid out and well developed jn many respects and he was satisfied that New Britain stands well up in the list of progressive New England cities and will continue to maintain its position. The Chamber of Commerce, said Mr. Andrews, is a movement to make New Britain a better place to live in, a better place to work 1n and a better | place in which to do business, To make New Britain a better place to live in will be the object of the clvic bureau and this is the most impor- tant feature of the chamber’'s work. He said he did not want to tell the people what ought to be done, be- cause 'he had not been in the city long enough to become thoroughly familiar with its needs. He asked for the co-operation of every member of the chamber in the things to be done | and that all the different viewpoints of the people should be taken consideration in the attempts. that will be made to solve the city's prob- lems, Aims of Civic Bureau, ‘While the nominating committee was preparing its report, Mr. Moore made a series of comments on the work of the bureau and a few of the problems of New Britain, “The civic bureau,” he said, “is the only bureau in which the dollars and cents mark does not appear. You can’'t find any filthy lucre marks in the work of the civic bureau, for it touches upon living conditions, while the other bureaus are more or less concerned with big business.” In the surveys to be made by the bureau, card indexes will be pre- pared of persons and conditions to which reference can be made at any time, In going through the list of things which the bureau will dear with, Mr. Moore touched upon the importance of efficient street car ser- vice, the matter of city markets, the necessity of bringing the public and public utilities into a better under- standing of each other, and the value of playgrounds. Mr. Moore objected to the habit New Britain citizens have of speaking disparagingly of the hotels. “I have had a room just as good and service just as good as I could get in any hotel in any part of New England and at a much cheaper rate.”” The criticism is unjust, he said, and should be stopped. Enthusiastic praise was given Mr. Christ and the directors for select- ing such an excellent president. Mr. Moore said Mr. Christ is sacrificing his family and other interests in or- der to work for the Chamber of Com- merce and he called attention to Mr. Carist's resignation fropa the com- mon council as one proé: of his sin- cerity, X The home rule bill now before the state legislature was referved to as a bill that must be passed before a into | thoroughly efficient system of govern- ment can be obtained in New Britain. The commission form of government is inevitable, he said, and in order to | get it politics must be driven out. { The mercantile bureau of the Chamber of Commerce will be or- ganized the first week in December.

It is assumed here that these trains are for the transportation of additional German regiments to the eastern arena of hostilities. i German Losses Small in Dixmude Assaults Berlin, Nov. 20, via London, Nov. 21, 5:35 a. m.—The correspondent of |the Zeitung Am Mittag visited Dix- | mude while that town still was under heavy bombardment. In a despatch to his paper he tells of the things that he observed there. The sky was literally covered with smoke rings from shrapnel, he says. The enemy was beginning to waver under the steady succession of as- saults. The allies’ fire was no longer well directed, and as the German preparations were well made the Ger- man losses in the assaults usually i were relatively small. The captured trenches, says the cor- respondent, were magnificently built of reinforced concrete with sand bag breastworks, stands for machine guns and a novel type of revolver cannon which throws short range grenades. Such trenches cover the whole coun- try and when one is captured the en- emy retires to the next. The fighting MR. is often at such close range that hgn! grenades are employed effectively, presence of the latest French and Eng. lish newspapers in the trenches, say the correspondent, shows that the al« lied soldiers are being kept inform German Offensive at Lodz Is Progressin Berlin, Germany, Nov. 21, by Wi less to London, 3:35 p. m.—An ccmmunication given out by the=Ger- man general army headquarters today. says: “On the whole there is no change, in the western war theater.
