and '

city planning commission, addressed
the members of the Chamber of
Commerce at their noonday lunch
eon Monday, and for half an hour
went into two of the phases of the
subject
In relation to ine inuusiriai pnase
... I - i.
..f citv idanning. the speaker
aker said
that it is essential that industrial
plants be located where adequate
transportation facilities are avail
able. And. too, they must be lo
cated where they are able to benefit
by the c.t's lire protection. Ample
ground for expansion, he said, is
al.-o neee.-sury to obtain the most ef
tieieney. In dealing with the transporta
tion phase of city planning, Mr.
Young said that experts decry the
belt railroad plan. He tsaid that they
recommended instead the branch
system
branches running wherev er
they
are nee. led. Hetaid that the;
bel: line svstem tends to concen -
träte all the efficiency inte tontines
that are diffa ult to break.
Mi. Young wa- preceded by Nel

bonds. He urged that the members
of the Chumh r of c'ommerce get
out and work for the -ale of the j
bonds. He declared that it would1

. lared that if a man has enough to j

Military honors, such as wou'd be

Itichthofen's squadron was krown

las heavy as any that the Genua ns
. laid down in th-;r offensive at Ver-

swept the American lines before the
Germans drove forward in three
columns.
The main attack was aimed at
