S. Bradley, Major Bartlett, Col. Moore, and Mr_' Arthur Newberry.
The President in opening the pro-
ceedings said the local branch of the Patriotic Fund had been formed two years ago. The work had been di- vided between three Committees, namely the Finance Committee, thc Organizing Committee, and the Dis- tribution of Relief Committee from which they would receive reports The receipts for the two years had amounted to $68,822.70 and the ex- penditure to $29,207.14, leaving a sur- plus over expenditure of $39,615_56. The fund, however, was not a local one but for the whole of Canada, and out of which all parts of Canada drew for the benefit of the wives and de- pendants of soldiers who went to the front. In some provinces they had sent more men than they had sent from here and the relief granted was correspondingly greater_ About 2,000
<s
Government Separation Allowance and its accumulations since the sons enlistment, are not generally retain- ed. There are a few exceptions. where it has been found that even with this Separation Allowance there still ro- malns nee'd for suppleecmentary as- sis-tance.
Payment out of this Fund in the
meantime to the Moths-r, experience has shown us, is necessa.r'y to supply pres-ont needs, even though the Mothcr receives _afterwards it Separ- ation Allowuncc of $20.00 n month covering the same period.
'Phe numbers of Fathers relieved
is small. us ass-istnncc is' only givin when thc I-‘other is incapable oi` working ciliclently for his own support, and ‘tho cn‘lis-tcd son has been his mainstay.
Each case, whether on beliali' oi'
wives, wives and children, children alone. or Mothers or Fathers is en"-
guired into before settle-ment on the
s't. It has been asked how and on
what scale are allotments made, As each case has its own history any' general ans'\ve-r must necessarily be incomplete. But covering most cases the question may be answered in this way.
That allotments might as far ns
possible be uniform in all branches of this Fund, a -maximum scale was settled by the Executive at Ottawa in‘ November 1915, to be used as such in the' larger cities, elsewhere “the scale to be somewhat lower."
Since the settlement of this scale
further instructions from time. to time have been received from the Central Executive, among others, that the family of an invalid soldier will be entitled to continued assis- tance from this Fund until his dis- charge-, and that of a perlrnanently incapacitated soldier, until the first payment of the Government alllow- ance- granted according to the ex- tent of his injury. That only when the son has' assigned a fair portion' of his pay shall his family be assist- ed to the extent of the de-iicit still existing, not to exceed $10.00 por month. That able-bodied Fathers' are not to be regarded as legitimate claimants on the Fund, and the ab- sence of employment is -not to be a factor for the' Committee to consider;
andeghat when there are grown up mel in the family capable of ns-
men had been recruited directly from, this province and of these 322 were` on the relief fund representing 820 de- pendents. They were very much indebted to Mr. Binning for acting as hon. treasurer. and to Mr_ Justice Fitzgerald, who as Chairman of the Relief Committee had devoted days? and nights to the iwork, doing almost single handed an amount of work; which in Ottawa, Toronto or else- where would have entailed a stall of half-a-dozen clerks or so_ '
Mr. Fitzgerald then submitted the
following report:
In our second Annual Report we
beg to report as follows:
In' our last we covered the period
from December 1914 to November 1915 showing a total disbursement during these months of $7589.64.

suming its support families should not be helped by the Fund. That when there are’ several children of the soldier, not more than' one should be rated at the higher scale, and one at the medium, the rest, no matter what their ages, to be rated at not over $3 per month. That when a soldier’s' wife is young and strong and has n'o children $5 per month or less according to the need, is suf- ilcient. That the relatiyes of a re- enlisting soldier, previously dis- charged are not to receive assistance until the Soldier has actually em- barked for Overseas.
We were also instructed rece-ntly,
that the allowance to the de- pendents of a Soldier killed in ac- tion shall cease upon his death, as the tlrst cheque received by such dependent is always fc-r a consider- able amount; permission being given however, to assist by way of loan until the receipt of the tlrst pension checque.
And generally we are' advised that
conservation of the Fund is impera- tive in view of the large demands upon it in the future, and that the test in all cases must be the need of the beneficiary-each particular need, examining the circumstances, and mode of living of every dependent seeking aid from this Fund; beinS "earnestly requested to mee that U16 “money contributed to the Fund, in "many cases at a real sacrifice, is not “belng distributed among people who “do not need aid."
Your Committee in its. last report
said, that their guiding principle and "primary aim was to secure to the "family of the Soldier enlisting that "full means of sustenance and com- "fort which it had previous to his "enlistment, and under the generous "scale adopted by this Fund through- “out Canada it has not been diillcult -“to do this.”
A recent number of the Bulletin
published by the Central iExecutive
‘referring to and quoting the above- Ipassage, says. This quotation sum?
up the whole aim of the Fund-to take the place of the bread-winner, even to provide the family with a little more' than it has .been accustom- ed to receive. rather than have it suffer we-nt while the bread-winner is serving on' the battlefield."
F1-om'intimate knowledge of the
facts of each case we are of the oplnion that with the assistance ren- dmu ny this supplementary Fund. a great number of the beneficiaries are receiving more than the Soldier earned previous to his enlistment- `it is often so admitted by them.

UN IHELNEAR EASI"
The Heurtz Memorial llail was fair-
ly well filled last evening when Rev. William Bnrraclough gave a delight- fully interesting illustrated lecture on “The Ncar East." Mr. James Paton was the Chairman and introduced the lecturer. The speaker descri bed Inc various sides of fthe Eastern cam- paign, taking his hearers in imagina- tion to the beautiful city of Constan- tinople, the objective point. of the campaigu_ His description of the people, the Mosques, the Golden l-lorn, and other points of notable interest was very entertaining. lle dealt at some length with thc Dartiauellc-.s campaign and the strategic features of the Gallipoli campaign, paying tribute to the unsurpassed devotion and bru- very of the men from New Zealand and Australia-“the Anzucs."
He then turned to Salonikl, dcscri bing the massing'of the Allied forces there' and the reason oi the prolonged inaction. I-lc then crossed into Mesopotamia, describ- ing the various types of people there_ By means of a map and views he gave an excellent idea of that campaign and gave reasons why Germany is so eager to get Bagdad. He plaid a splen- did tribute to the bravery of the Hin- du troops. The Armenian people and the terrible treatment accordeo them by the bloodthirsty Turks re celved some attention, a splendid pic- ture of a group of-’ Armenian girls being shown_ The`Bulgarians were described as a brave people though -they have made a great mistake in siding with the enemies of freedom. Roumania and adjacent territorv and their peoples were dealt with und on the whole the lecture was decid edly interesting and enlightening.
At the close a vote of thanks was
moved by Mr. James Paton, who re- ferred in an interesting manner to his own visit to the East eight years ago and a visit made to the Mosque of St. Sophia; the vote being secon- ded in appropriate words by Colonel Moore, supported by Judge Stewart, and made unanimous by all present_ , A vote of thanks was also tendered to Mr. Bourke, who so ably manipu lated the stereoptlcon.
Rev. Mr. Barraclough leaves this
morning on his return to St. John. lt is be hoped that before very lon! he will again favor Charlottetown with a visit_ _
