in question was false, and that the
league bud "never received directly or

ness Loses Full Advantage,
Committee Says.
Washington, Nov. IS.?The Chamber
of Commerce of the United States has
sent to the members of the national
organisation, including nearly seven
hundred affiliated organisations repre
aenting every state and territorial pos?
session, and to the principal American
chambers of commerce abroad, a refer?
endum giving tha members an opp.r
tunlty to indorse a report of the com?
mittee of the Department of Com?
merce.
Recommendations In the report In?
clude an Increase In Congresalonal ap?
propriations for the general broaden?
ing and Improvement of the govern?
ment's foreign commercial service.
The Chamber considers this en oppor?
tune time for the consideration of tho
questions propounded, in view of the
opportunities now offered for the de?
velopment of American commerce in
other countries.
The committee, of which A. W. Shaw,
of Chicago, Is chairman and Wilbur
Carr director, reports that, although
increased appropriations were made in
1914 for the foreign arid field service,
when the work of the commercial ?at?
tach?s of the Department of Commerce
was begun no Increase In appropria?
tions was i ule for "clearing" this In?
formation. "The result," it states, "has
been overwork, delay and a failure to
take full advantage of the new oppor?
tunities provided for in the Increased
f.ppropriations.
The most pressing r.eeds ore put un?
der the heads "Amerienniration," "Ad?
equate Clerical Assistance," "Promo?
tion of Certain Consular Agencies to
the Rank of Consulates," "The Estab?
lishment of New Consulates" and "Ade?
quate In?pec'ion of the Service." Rec?
ommendations for the establishment of
consulates In fifteen new cities and
fuller publication of statistics of ln
teraal commerce relative to trade aro
mado.
The report urges expert study of
banking and tariffs, more liberal trav?
elling allowances and higher consular
salari?e, with special attention to ?
Latin America. In this connection the
report states: "With the close of the I
war, it Is generally Believed that we,
may be able to hold against European
competitors a goodly portion of the
markets for American products which
we have now gained in Lntin-American
countries."
Trado commissioners ?n countries
where the commercial interests of the !
tinted State are not sufficiently im- i
portant are advocated. Commercial at-i
taches, appointed and | romoted under '
the Civil Service law, are considered
desirabls la the committee's report. |

BURKITT REINSTATED
BY WILSONS ORDER
White Mouse Silences Roper?
Now a "Goat" Is Sought.
[Frnm Th? TrltmM Biir??ii ]
Washington, Nov. 15. In it? haste
to muffle th? ?tory of the removal of
George Burkift, assistant po?tma?ter of
Winr.etka, III., the White House ha?
trampled on the feelings of First As
aiataat Postmaster General Roper. The
White House gave out a statement
early to-day that Mr. Burkitt, whose
indiscretion yesterday was a comment
that the I'resident ought to have waited
a year after his wife's death before be
I coming engaged again, would be re
! instated unios?? there were other
charge? against him.
i Thereupon the Pogtoftice Department
in?ued a long statement embodying
i charges other than the alleged indis?
creet remark concerning the President.
I Mr. Roper further stated that he had
?ent a po?totllce inspector to Chicago
to investigate th? charge?, and that
i meanwhile Mr Hurkitt had been sus
! pended. Inquiry as to how Mr. Burkitt
BOald be suspended when he hail been
discharged was met by the explanation
that Mr. Burkitt could not be COBaid
Bred to have been discharged until the
i*:nal paper? had been sent to the Civil
.Service Commission, which has not yet
been done.
When this was reported to the Wiiite
House another statement was produced.
This was thnt Mr. Burkitt would be
reinstated. It contained no "ifs" or
"buts" or "however?." On that state?
ment Secretary Tumulty res'ed.
For about two hours following its
laaaaaee the relations between tiie
White House and the Post Office De?
partment were ?trained. Then the
Postofies Department gave up the un
equal combat, and also its claim that
Rurkit'. wns under .suspension ami irai

whatever the Whit? House want ?d to
he done would be done, and thai Mr.
Burkitt could have hi? job back.
