After a prayer by Rev. Mr. Morris,
the President, Rev. Z. L. Fun, read

COMMITTEES.
his address in his introductor re- Committees were then formed as
- v
marks be made reference to the great war now in progress and continued: "What about the war we are now en- gaged in against intemperance? That is raging and ,it has been raging for many years. Here and there s lull may be experienced but it does not last long. 'rbis is a war to the nnlsn. When the present European struggle lsover the iight against fntemperance will go on harder than ever. Those who are fighting for temperance know that they are in the right. They are fighting for the defence of their home and their country. They know that the liberties of men are imperllled by the liquor traffic."
The President complimented the
Field Secretary, Rev. W. D. Wilson, on the work that he was doing and the "campaign of education” which he is conducting and which is “bearing much fruit." He emphasised the need of making the organisation as perfect as possible in order that “our equip- ment may be so complete that we shall easily outclass thc enemy. Ile spoke of the splendid unity which pre- vailed among the temperance workers of the province and stated that the onemies of tcmperance had done their best to make discord in the ranks but that the attempt to break up the Al- liance did not succeed. Deliberate attempts, he said, had been made by some in authority to break up the unity of the committee by canvassing them to withdraw and show their dis- approval of the way the work was be- ing conducted. These approaches, he said, whether direct or indirect, were indlgnantly rejected.
“Soluetimes." continued the Presi-
dent, “in looking too long at our own local conditions we get discouraged. it does u's good to get away from our own difficulties and see what others are doing. We may think that we have not made as much progress in our work in this province as we should. Well, I have no doubt that is true, but we have a great many things to encourage us to go on. Just take a hasty view of the world situation. I can only touch upon it but it is bright with promise. We have every rea- son to thank God and take courage." I-le then referred to the abolition of Vodka from Russia which be declared WHS ‘lime of the miracles ol' modern times” and ‘to a. similar move in France, where abslnthe had been abol- ished from tbe‘al°my. He quoted Lord Kitcbener's advice to the English sol- diers to shun drink and instanced the petition of twelve hundred prisoners in the penitentfary at Joliet, ill., staf- ing that if liquor was prohibited the effect would be to reduce crime at least seventy per cent., and also thc cry of the Christian Endeavourers ami the Anti-saloon League people, whose slogan was a "saloonless United States

FINANCIAL REPORT.
The Secretary, Mr. David -Schurman.
then read the financial report, which showed a deficit of $2,500. After sub- mitting his report he stated that ow-
ing to violegt personal attacks upon him by The uardlan he begged to be relieved of his duties as Secretary. The report was adopted.

The nnunal report of the Executive
Committee was then read by the Sec- retary, Mr. Schurman, who gave an exhaustive history of the efforts of thc Executive to secure the passing of the amendments submitted to the Legislature at the last session, the in- vestigation at Summcrside, the pro- tection aiforded to “rum dens" by “politiclans," the “increase of drunk- enness," and the charge that “since our last annual meeting and when the Legislature was last in session an ef- fort was actually made to have the prohibition act repealed and a license law substituted in its place." He con- cluded with a statement that the Pre- mier was opposed to the Alliance, re- ferred to the Government's “animos- ity” and closed with the declaration that the committee truly represents the sentiments of the Temperance Al- liance, when they “refhsed to counte- nance such unjust and unrighteous nlethods of administering the law."
On motion the report was laid on
the table for discussion at a later per- iod ol' the meeting.
FIELD SECRETARY’S REPORT.
The re oft of the Field Secretar
At the conclusion of the report the
Commissioner of Agriculture, Hon. Murdoch McKinnon, said he noticed that the last paragraph of the report commended Mr. W. E. Bentley. it' they adopted the Field Secretary’s re- port thcy adopted his sentiments in regard to Mr. Bentley. Now, Mr'. .Bentley had published a very lengthy report in The Patriot in which he had made the statement that one of the prosecutors had some $750 ol' “stolen money" in his pocket. He wished em- phatically to give the lie to any such stutcnicnt. 'i‘he`prosecutor in ques- tion had not one dollar in his pocket,

vlnce on the wave of prohibition ad vancement and declared that the pro- hibition act, while _ good. needed amendment. “The Alliance," hc said, "showed itself to be in the advance guard when it carefully drew up an amended law and submitted it to the Legislature for enactment. What the Legislature would do with these amendments remained to be seen. The Temperance Alliance will never rest until they are granted.” “Prince Ed- ward island should also be in the front in the enforcement of the pro- hibition law. We lack in this. We have been baking the Government to fake more active steps to have the law better enforced and to have offl- cers appointed who will do their duty without let or hindrance from the
Mr. L. P. Tanton stated tllat Mr. Mc-
I{innun's remarks in regard to Mr. Bentley were not in order, ns thc question before the meeting at that moment was the adoption of Mr. Wil- son‘s report, which merely comlnend- ed Mr. Bentley and made no reference to his letter published in The Patriot.
On motion the report of the Field
Secretary was then adopted.
Rev. Mr. Sutherland then moved
that a committee be appointed by the meeting to confer with Mr. McKinnon and receive any information he might have to give in regard to the question raised.
Mr. Johnson, of Kensington. was op-
posed to this. He thought that the whole meeting should discuss the mat-
politlcians or anyone else. The Al- tel
fiance has endeavoured to do this work free from political interference and demands that the Government shall not allow their representatives or workers to keep back the prosecu- tors from the full performance of their duties.” '
Summarlslng the situation. he
lboulzht that in spite of local setbacks the Alliance had much reason for en- couragement. The struggle might be long before a complete victory would be gained over "King Booze" but he believed it was coming. The liquor traffic was doomed in Prince Edward island and throughout the world.

Mr. McKinnon said that if thoso
who mgde such wild statements as were c' ntaincd ln Mr. Bentley’s re- port published in The Patriot had asked for information before sending broadcast through the country those statements they would have been sat- isfied as to the facts of the matter. _I-lo had never been asked for such in- formation, which he would have been willing to give.
Mr. Bentley replied that subpoenas
had been served on Mr. McKinnon and Mr. John Anderson to produce certain documents and that it was only after
tained at the investigation at Sum- merside that the papers asked for were in the possession of Mr. K. J. Martin. As to there being seven hun- dred and fifty dollars in Mr. Phillips' pocket, he did not know whether that was true or not: he was only going by the evidence. In none of the bills he
accounted for any of the fines amount ing to $750 referred to.
Mr. McKinnon, in reply, stated that
the Government had this to say to the Alliance, that it had its accounts and statements and was ready and able to stand by them, and prove the un- truthfulness of that statement. There was not a dollar lost. it had come to a fine pass if, at e meeting which was supposed to be in the interests of tem- peranoe, such a statement was going to be talven in preference to the pub- llc records.
Mr. Charles Btcrns, of Sourls. said
that the meeting seemed to him to be
of a political nature. I-Ie thought they shon d deal strictly with temperance' questions.

SUMMARY OF THE SI'l'IllI'il0li
(Special to The Guardian)
LONDON, March 11.-The arrival of
the German auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eltel Friedrich at Newport News, re-
to` British shipping, and the success of British troops in' the region of La Bassee are the most interesting topics.
Whetlier the Prinz Eltel Friedrich
be interned or again sent out, it is considered here her career as an arm- ed cruiser is at an end, for should she repair and sail it is believed the Allies' cruisers will watch for her and ac- count for her. "
Possible action of the American
Government in regard to the sinking of the American ship, Wm. `P. Frye, by the Prinz Eltel is also discussed and in view of the fact that the Unit- ed States allows German warships to sink American ships with food sup- plies for England that Government can hardly protest against the Allies’ prohibiting foodstuffs for Germany.
Of the British victory in Northern
'France there is no news beyond the official reports. lt is believed lhul, while no great amount ot’ ground bus been captured the improvement in the British position is of great importance and may compel the Germans to cvn- cuate La Basses 'and other points which make their line strong. »
Equally important is the success by
British airmen destroying the railway junctions at Mnin and Courtrae. These form one of the German main lines of communication and their destruction will delay the arrival__of new contin- gents of troops which are reported to be again concentrating in Belgium for another attempt to break through to ‘Calais and Boulogne. _
According to Dutch reports these
troops brought a large number of boats for thc passage of the canals and rivers and include cavalry units.
There has been fighting in Cham-
pagne but on the whole the French are satisfied with the progress made in that region. in the Vosgcs the bat- tle for Reych Ackerkopf has been re- sumed.
These are small affairs compared
with the battles progressing in North Poland between the Niemen and Vis- tula Rivers. The Germans are appar- ently falling back in the North but fighting a rearguard action which has reached the importance of a pitched battle and are taking a few prisoners with them. The Germans are again in Augustowo forest on the East Prus- sian border which has been the burial place of many German and Russian soldiers. The Germans brought up more guns of lighter calibre to bom- ,bard Ossowetz while further South ln the neighborhood of Ostrolenka they claim to have defeated the Russians. The battle on the roads from Khorjele to Praasnysz along which the Ger- mans hope to pierce the Russian for- tress line, contlnuep. The weather is colder and the ground in North Po- land .is harg, greatly facilitating the movement of-troops! -'This is said to lie the. first time in. history that the weather has favored an army attempt- .ing to invade Russia.
Reports from Tenedos say Turkish
artillery in the Darfianelles grows weaker and the last bombardment by the allied fleet badly damaged. the forts at Chanak Kelis. Two big cruis- ers spent the night in the Straits pro- tecting vessels engaged in mine
sweeping.
Despatches from Rome indicate that
German Ambassador. Prince Von Bue- iow, has renewed_ negotiations ith
the italian Government with th{op- ject of securing continued neutra ity of that country in return for territor- ial concessions in Austria. Austria however, it is said, is opposed to mak- ing' such concesslonseas would satisfy italy. ' ~

PARIS, March 11.-The capture of
a long stretch of German positions in Flanders is announced in an official report, given out this afternoon, by the War Office. The report follows:
“A British attack yesterday resulted
in the capture of 2,500 metres, nearly 11% miles, of trenches before Neu Chappelle, Flanders, and of the vil- lage itself. We progressed in the di- rection of Aubers, as fer as Pietre Mill and in a South-easterly direction as far as the Northern border of Bois du Dubiez, that is to say, a distance of about two kilometres beyond Neu Chappelle. The German artillery fired only n few shots."

called upon the Lieutenant-Governor to open the Fair. His I-lonour referr-
been doing throughout the provbice and stated that the farmers must re- member that seed would not grow in- definitely. The fertility of the soil must be kept up, and he urged upon them the necessity of using the very best quality of seed and using as much as possible this year. He was fol- lowed by the Premier, lion. J. A. Matllleson, who said rn part: `
The Commissioner of Agriculture
has asked me to take his part as well as my own during his temporary ab- sence attending a meeting ot' the Temperance Alliance.
it is most encouraging to see such
a splendid meeting and such a good show, especially is it pleasing to see so many ladies present. This is as it
an unprecedented development in \vomen’s work in this province. Tbere‘ is no question with which we have io= deal oi' more importance than the health of our people, and no place where reform was more needed than in lhc schools. This has been under- taken with encouraging results in tho Womcn's Institutes and with them rests thc greatest hope of sanitary reform, which we men have failed to institute in our schools.
Domestic Science work has expand-
ed greatly. and the interest is rapidly growing. This year thc demand was such that the fifth class for this wil\ter.is now in course of instruction. To meet this great demand it has been decided to make such changes and additions to this building as will pro- vide nmple facilities for teaching domestic science. At thc some time. in response fo the call oi’ leading medical men, n laboratory will be pro- vided fitted with all appliances neces- sary for testing and investigating dis- eases in men and animals. We trust that this may be the means of saving the lives and health of many of our people. Some advance has been made

A suna- torlum for the poor has been built and equipped at the Infirmary, the Charles Dalton Sanatorlum is in process of completion, but in the field of safe- guarding the public health much re- mains to be done and as a Govem- mont we feel the responsibility of doing it to the best of our ability.
Domestic science and prevention
and cure of disease may seem unre- lated subjects, but in fact they are very closely related. Badly prepared food is capable oi' damaging any con- stitution and preparing the way for disease. I l hope that next year when we again
meet that great advancement may be made in conquering preventable dis- case, which is more destructive to our lives than war itself.
Other great questions affecting us-
will be sufficiently presented by other speakers. l will therefore clnse by, wishing you a plcusnut and profitable meeting.
The Prcmicr was followed by His
Worship Mayor Stems. who welcomed the seed fair to Charlottetown and spoke of the value it had been to the city in the past. 1-le spoke of the friendly relations 'that should exist. between the farmers and the city, as` the one was necessary to the other. I-is hoped they would all enjoy them- I selves at the agricultural meetings that were being held and that the fairs in the future would be better than ever they had been in the past. As Mayor of the city be cxtcndcd to all present most cordial greetings.
The next speaker was Professor
Reek, who told of the impression that Prince Edward Island had made in Ontario, not on account ol’ its silver black foxes. but on account oi' thc way in which the, farmers were co-opcrat- ing. I-le thought there was still room for improvement and trusted that they would carry the co-operation that they were practising in thc marketing of eggs into every other line of agri- cultural effort.
Professor Reek is a now man in the
province, and this was his first appear- ance in public in Charlottetown.
Professor Ross spoke on thc im-
portance of the seed fair and what it had accomplished in conjunction with the standing fields of grain com- petitions. I-ie also referred to the horse show. which is to he held next week. and the production campaign nt present being carried on throughout Canada.'
DOMESTIC SCIENCE.
The attendance at the meetings in
connection with the Domestic Sclenco Department was .very satisfactory, both morning and afternoon. The morning session was addressed by the Commissioner of Agriculture, Hon. Murdoch McKinnon, ami Father Mc- Guigan. Mrs J. A. Mathieson acted as president. A demonstration in the morning on Home Nursing by Misses McDonald and McFarlane was par- ticularly interesting. Mrs Keir. of Malpeque. gave a very instructive address on "The Art of llug Making." while Miss Mcl-‘arlane was unique in her demonstration on " The interior Decoration of the Room." _ Miss Stems. assisted hy three students of the Short Course, Misses Cass, Mc- lunie and Laura West. gave a demon- stration on "lnvalld Cookery," which won the applause of the audience. Owing to'the lateness of the hour, Mrs Dunhrack was unable to give her demonstration. as advertised, on " The Cooking of Meats."

Prof. Rook was the first speaker.
lie said, Life is just one problem after another, and the problem in which we are interested at the present time is the awful war in which we are flow engaged. The farmer has a _certain duty to perform and it is in connection with increased production. One way the production can be increased ls through the use of good seed. We hear a good deal about the raising of good seed and good stock, but there is something really much more tm- portant tllan that--I mean the people living on the farm. There is nothing which will aid production to such an extent as cooperation between the fnrmcr and the farmer’s wife in the- matter of farm labour. Good manage- ment is most important on the farm.
Rev. Dr Fullerton followed and de-
livered an excellent address, a. sum- mary of which will appear later.

Superintendent of Education. He thought that by increased production we were doing a great duty to the Empire, but we must not forget the other side. The men for the front must he provided and Prince Edward island must do its share. We cannot afford to offer a few men for this battalion which is now beinglraised. We must not be behind the other pro- vinces. we must give our full share. lie then spoke on the changes that were being made in the school life of the Province. in the past our educa- tion did uot lead to country life. Now we are trying to change this and we ask your sympathy and encourage- ment. We are trying to put the em- phasis of our school work on the training for citizenship in this pro- vince. There is now to be established ln the larger centres Household Science Courses, but some of this work should be carried into the one- roomed school. There might. too, be a work bench in each school. and plain sewing might also be taught. Of course this could be much better accomplished in two~roomed schools. We are not trying to teach farming. we are trying to educate boys and girls.
