Splendid Contri-

SUMMERSIDE, Dec. 6.-Notwith.
standing strong counter-attractions and very unpropitious weather, the special meeting called by His Lordship
Mr Justice Fitzgerald and held in the'
Supreme Court House, Summerside, this evening, for the purpose of ap- pealing to the citizens of the town and county in the matter of the Patriotic Fund. was an unqualified success from every point of view, the financial re- sult being gratifying beyond the most sanguine expectations. In the un- favourable circumstances due to weather conditions, etc.. the attend. ance, though large. was not as full as it might have been; but what the audi- ence lacked in numbers was more than made up for in enthusiasm. A number of the leading citizens of Summcrside were present, illcluding members of the Bar. His Lordship presided, and the address delivered by him in opening the meeting was an eloquent and forceful one. He msilo ll “ne BDDGGI. and before he got through he had entirely enlisted the sympathy of the audience. who ex- pressed their appreciation with gen- orous applause.
The Premier. the Hon. J. A.-,Mathie-
son. who was present, lent his able support to the cause in a stirring patriotic address, fr`aught with deep thought and suggestion. His worsllip, Mayor Saunders. K.C., M.L.A., also gave a fine address. Among those present were the Hon. A. E. Arsenault. Mr Noll McQuarrie. K.C., Mr Noll Mc- Leod. _K.C.,,Dr Alex. McNeill, Rev. J. C. McLean, Rev. J. B. Rice, Rev. C. de Wolfe White. Dr John F. McNeill. Messrs William -Stewart, H. T. Hoi. msn, J. LeRoy Holman. and many others.
A splendid programme of music was
rendered by Messrs Patillo. Graham Rogers and Rev. J. M. Rice. Miss Alice Harrison, organist of the Summerside Presbyterian Church, acting as pianist. The speakers of the evening were his Lordship Mr Justice Fitzgerald,
Premier Mathleson, Mayor Sa.unders.| Father McLean. Rev. C. de Wolfe, Wlhite. Rev. J. M. Rice. Mr C. Hensley and Mr Neil McLeod, K.C\ The ad- dresses were all splendid and were heartily received.
in opening. Mr Justice Fitzgerald
explained why he had called the meet- ing. stating that shortly after the sub- scription list had been opened in ,the Supreme Court on Wednesday after- noon. the barristers and jurors had contributed over-$1,170. He said that some people were of opinion that men of his profession were fond of putting their hands in other people's pockets rather than their own. That of course was a delusion. and if they knew the profession as well as be did. they

would never have such an impression. Since the subscription list had been passed around in the Court he_ thought it would be unfair to the rest of the people of this county not to give them an opportunity of showing their inter- est in the Empire. The Patriotic Fund, he said, was a great charity, the money was not paid to those hav- ing wealth, but to the mothers and wives and children of those who ab- solutely were in need of it. It was a charity to provide for the families of the soldiers who went to the front, to provide against want of food and want of daily comforts. There was no doubt that with 192,000 Canadians gone to the front, many bread winners would be among .the fallen while fightillg the battles of their King and country. His Lordship said it was the duty of everyone to see that depend- dants of tllose who are giving their lives in the great struggle should be well provided for. His address throughout was a splendid effort and as he resumed his seat he was en- thllsiastically applauded.
Premier Matllieson followed in a
vigorous address, which could not fail of its purpose. The Premier made several splendid points, one of the most striking of whicll. and one tllat was loudly applauded. was the state- ment in connection with the distribu- tion of the patriotic funds. tllat while the Island had to see that its own people were well provided for, they should remember 'that there were others in Canada to whom thc Fund in this Province 'would apply. There were people ill other parts of Canada and of the Empire who were not as well circumstanced as those in Prince Edward Island, and he emphasized the need of being broad minded in this regard. "Wie should all remember," he said, “ that we are not only Prince Edward Islanders, but Canadians-we are all Britons, and the call is not to answer for our own alone. but to do all we possibly can, all that our means will permit, to help the cause of Bri- tain in this war. the cause of Britain generally, and Canada after that. We should only consider our own condi- tions when we have reached the limit of our capacity, because there are very few parts of Canada or of the world where people have been blessed with such comforts and abundance as we ourselves.”
The Premier also said: "When the
war is done we will be different men and womell, we shell all ‘be different in this, that if we have done our duty we shall have reached a higher level; if we have failed to do our duty we will have fallen below that level which we occupied before. We will be better or worse according as we have or have not done our duty." The manner in

(Special to The Guardian)
LONDON, Dec. 6-Peace talk which
comes from the Vatican, Switzerland and Scandinavia and has been arous- ed by the proposed quetions by the Socialists in the Reichstag and the Pope's address in a secret consistory. evokes no echo here. The British people are quite prepared to believe Austro-Hungary is tired of war, and that the people of Germany with the knowledge of the heavy losses they have suffered at different points, may be anxious to see the end of it but they do not expect the rulers of the Central Powers to make suggestions that the British Government would or could consent to. They, therefore, are more interested in the news of the joint war council of the Allies which has been formed and which held its first meeting in Paris to-day under the presidency of the French commander-_
in-chief, General Joffre. They hope from that that the war will be prose- cuted more energetically and tllat ef-
forts are to be made to clear up the Greek officers have gone to Salonikii

There is evldence. however. of some

There are signs that the Greek situation is righting itself and dcspatclles from Athens report that

people here equally anxious with him- self, he thoughtfully communicated the cabiegram to the Guardian, as it will reach the bulk of the people in- terested before his own paper is pub- lished this afternoon.
which the sympathies of the audience were touched was abundantly evidenc- ed in frequent burst of applause that punctuated his address. __
Mayor Saunders gave all effective
address. One point he emphasised was this, when people sing " Britannia Rules the Waves,” they were inclined to place too much emphasis upon Bri- tannla's share of the burden, forget- ting their own. The people of Prince County. he said. had not done all they might have done, and he urged upon, them to take advantage of this oppor- tunity.
Excellent and timely addresses were
also delivered by Rev. J. C. McLean. Rev. C. de Wolfe Wllite, Rev. Mr Rice, Mr C. Hensley and Mr Neil McLeod. K.C. After the addresses a subscrip- tion iist was passed round, and in a few minutes over a thousand dollars wls subscribed.
