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.

others.
A splendid programme of music was
rendered by Messrs Patillo. Graham

dresses were all splendid and were

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

and Scandinavia and has been arous-

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

British and French have been beating

rumours that withdrawal to Salonlki,

Mayor Saunders gave all effective
address. One point he emphasised
was this, when people sing " Britannia

to place too much emphasis upon Bri-
tannla's share of the burden, forget-

The outbreak appears to have been
confined to the cruiser Chao-Ho, the

authorities have notified the senior
