the United States, on it's own initia
tive, will sen da general protest to tile
allier, against the alleged violation of
international law hv interfering with
commerce betweiin American ports

realized that if Italy becomes belli
gerent. Germany's dilHi/.ltios in ob
taining foodstuff will be Increased. In

find the submarine even more Inval
uable as a weapon for reducing the

CHAMBER COMMERCE
GET3_81 OF $400
fcS ITS SHARE OF THE RE
CEIPTS FROM THE
CHAUTAUQUA
GOT $37 LAST YEAR
3?g Increase Due to Fact That
Season Tickets Were
Purchased.
Four hundred dollars ls tho amount
-callzed by tho loral chamber of com
norco from the chautauqua. This I?
m exceedingly large amount to bo
derived from such a source. Tho
?mount secured by the chamber of
.ommerce last year amounted to only
137.
The reason for this creal Increase
i? thnt the people bought season tlck
2ts this year while last year a lar^c
lier centago of the rccc-pts wore taken
in at the gate, and tho local organiza
tion does not share in MICHO receipts.
The reserved Beat sale this year help
ed some ?ind moro than tho total
amount of laat year's '-ommiasion for
the chamber of commerce waa made
this year from the seat sale alone.
Thc local uharo of thc monoy noxt
year will be somewhat larger than
this. The season flehet.? arc selling
more rapidly this year than they did
last year, and thc price is somewhat
higher at that.
Tho chautauqua waa a brilliant
.sucrosa in Anderson, not from a fi
nancial standpoint alone, but from
every standpoint. Tho Anderson
people, tunned out to attend tho per
formances and enjoyed every bit of
lt. The news that tho chautauqua
is sure to come to Andcrnon ls just
what, tho people expected, and to
have the chautauqua not come back
would certainly provo a great disap
pointment to the city.
There is one slight chango in tho
manner of operation nexo year from
tho past chautauqua season herc.
Those persons signing for tlckota
now are to get them at a price o'
$3.50 euch, and persons buying sea
son tickets next year will bo forced
to pay $"..00 for their ticket?. This
still will bo cheap. The very high
t:lass of entertainment afforded by the
chautauqua comes to the people ridi
culously cheap when all thing? aro
considered. Attending the chautau
qua at each performance th!? year,
noHt thc hold .of a Bcason ticket Just
i little over io.cents a show.
