?. S. MUST FACE WAR AS REAL MENACE ffcHed Mates Chamber of Commerce Calls for Square Statement of Facts. Washington, June 5.?Declaring the United States is fast approaching a crisis where any day we may see ac tual warfare brought to its own shores the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, representing all the chambers of commerce in America, to day sent to President Wilson a reso lution asking him to name a special commission to investigate the war, give the people the truth and arouse them to a sense of their danger. The resolution which is sent out un der the signature of Joseph H. Defrees of Chicago, chairman of the chamber, eums up the country's peril thus: Life and Death, "Aside from the question of short ening the war there are life and death reasons why the United States should cpeed preparations for the great con flict. There are possible and even probable contingencies which might eause the United States fo bear the vrasu oi me uguuug uu uei uwu chores. They are: "If Russia should collapse. "If the English^ fleet be overcome. 1 "If the food situation should bring our allies to their knees. "If great revere'ji* should be met om the western front. "If the submarine menace be not checked." The chamber, made up of big busi-' Bess men all oyer the country, consid-: ?rs the situation so acute that, the ex- f ~cutive committee after drawing up* the resolution requested telegraphic; approval by its members. This was! graated and today the contents of the) resolution, which actually was passed a May 24, were made public. President Wilson, it is understood, | wlil name a war commission, entirely j independent of all other bureaus. The tfatiional Security league, it is an-j Bounced, will send 2.000 speakers throughout the country as soon as the aew commission can get under way. The chamber says that the main ob etruction of speed is the failure of the people to "appreciate the fact that we are at war." It is felt that an urgent need exists for precisely the eame kind of campaign of national education and information as that conducted by England when it comes to the realization of what war really meant Seren urgent matters in the opinion VICTOR TOl $450 F.

It is as patriotic and much more effective than the medieval system of volunteering. 3. That labor must be readjusted on a large scale. It must be made more productive and its varied prob-. lems carefully considered. 4. The food administration will, necessarily be repressive but it is in' the interest of all. i 5. That there is a false and proper national economy. Business in war! time "is not as usual.'' 6. That the intelligent cooperation of women in both direct and indirect branches of war effort is absolutely j essential. 7. That there should be a centraliz ed control for the systematic support of the families of those who go to war.' This should be through the intelligent, cooperation of the government, local organizations and employers. The chamber emphasizes that the' contingencies of which it warns are iivl wilu liiiagiiiiugs oui are iiKeiy tu happen at any time. "The impossible has happened so often in this war," reads the resolu tion, "that any one of these contin gencies is not impossible. The Ger mans should have gotten through at -%r - ? x j r\ _ 3 ine iviarne ana capiurea rans ana Calais and established control of the channel. The English fleet should have annihilated the German fleet at Jutland. The central powers should have been sv vrved before the last har vest." Turning to the question of the sub marine, the association again finds necessary to emphasize the fact that we may have the scene of great bat tles transferred to our own shores: "The submarine campaign has re sulted in the destruction of 1,500,000 tons of shipping during the months of February. March and April. Coinci dent with this enormous increase of the world's ocean going mercantile marine hava ?om?
