Five executive meetings have been held, and the attend- ance at the weekly Monday after- noon meetings hss been so encour- aging as to receive favorable com- ment, especially since the decision to convert these meetings into sew- ing: to patch, darn, and renew gar- menis to send to needy families. 21o letter-shave bean sent. out by your Secretary on business pertain- ing to the "Order. The 30th anniversary of the or- ganisation of Royal Edward Chap- ter in April 1901 was held in the C. N‘. R. Hotel on St. George's Day. During dinner the Regent read a short; address bringing to the notice of present day members the names of the ladies responsible for the be- ginnings of our chapter, two oi whom, though not now membe , were present as guests-Mrs; Long- worth and Mrs. Warburion. In No- vember instead of the regular sale iof tea, ‘Irafalgar Day was celebrat- ed when the Regent opened her hcme to members for afternoon tea, materials which the sewing com- mittee had on hand were also plac- ed on sale and disposed of. The annual meeting of the Na.- tional Chapter was held at the Nova Sootian in Halifax in the last week in May, and this chapter was represented by the Regent and two delegates-the Secretary, and the Prov. Ed. Secretary. Reports oi that annual meeting were made-at our. regular June meeting. Mrs. W. CIS.

While Royal Edward Chapter is ever ready to help in any time of need rarely have we been called upon for such organized help as we were glad to be able to render during the emergency created by the Falconwood fire in January. National holidays have been cele- brated as usual-Paardeburg Day, Victoria Day, Dominion Day, King's Birthday; on Armistice Day an ll‘.- vitation was accepted from St. James Church to be present at a special service oi remembrance for the B. E. S. L. The wreath oi poppies from the chapter was placed by Mrs. Victor Goodwill. Greetings were sent at the Christmas to sick members, and to the infant son oi Lord and Lady Bessborough; flowers were sent as an expression oi sympathy to Mrs. Neil MacLeccl who has so long served the Daughters on the Committee oi Selection in connec- tion with War Memo lul work.

Four framed pictures, which were hanging in the Chapter Room at the Navy League building, were given to Southport and Cross Roads schools.

Madame Regenw Members- This has been an eventful year in the history oi the League of Nations. Let us glance first at the local activities oi our Chapter. Last year we received an urgent appeal from Ottawa for funds to carry on the work of the League and we raised our Annual Sub- scription fifty per cant. During the past summer, we were asked to sponsor the Signing oi the World Disarmament Peti- tion at all City polling booths on Election Day. After referring the matter to Miss Charlotte Whitton, National Convenor of League of Nations Committee, former repre- sentative at Geneva for our Order, we were unable to assist. Later the some petition, circulated un- der the auspices of the National Chapter, was signed by the major- ity of our members. Acting in collaboration with the Provincial Superintendent of Edu- cation, we conducted a. History Examination in Grades 9 and 10 ,of the City Schools. The subject embraced the many activities of the League oi Nations, particular- ly in regard to World Peace. We are much indebted to Mr. R. H. Rogers, who prepared the paper and to the members of the Chap- ter, who also assisted. Ten prizes in gold were presented at the Christmas School Closings, and so great an interest was aroused in children, teachers and parents that . many extra copies of the question- naire had to be made, and we hope ,that it will become an annual in- 'stitution. Let me repeat my asser- tion of a year ago ,that the edu- cation of our children in a. spirit i ‘work. One has to attend such n10! Intematlcnal toleratlon and brotherly love is a far saner pre- ventive of war than a. hundred disarmament conferences. 1 One of the first acts of the l ASSEMBLY of the §LEAGUE OF NATIONS was to ac- .cept the candidature of Mexico to ‘the Iieagueflrhis brings the mem- rship of the Iidague to 55 and "gives Canada a near neighbour co-member. Three major events stirred the surface of the Twelfth Assembly. One was the financial crisis in Great Britain, the ' second the seizure of Manchurian Towns by Japan and thirdftlie negotiations regarding the ‘conclusion of an armaments truce. The Canadian Delegation made two notable statements of Can- ada's position with regard to Arm- ‘ainents. Hon. Hugh Guthrie, leiid- 1c: of the delegation, said that while the technical work under- taken by the League for the im- prcvement of Trade, Finance, Agri- culture, Industrial conditions, Un- peoition from the lllull Portllial. Recently in London, the Arch- bishop of Canterbury called for the understanding Sympathy of the more forward P909105 for races which have not fully BP- preciatcd the meaning of univer- sal freedom. People, he said, “who have prided msclvw 00011 the fact that slavery has been abol- ished in the British Dominions nearly one hundred years ago, and in American seventy years ago, must be shamed by the recollection that it was only in January 192B that 314,000 slaves were freed i.ri Sierra Leone, and that Sir Har- court Butler set a final seal on slavery in Burrnah in 1929.” As we are all aware. the World Disarmament Conference is meet- ing at Geneva. Ovarsbadowing it in the eyes of the world, is the threatening situation, in the far East. How it may affect the peace of the entire world, no one can with certainty predict. There are many who are prone to say the League has failed sig- nally in the present crisis. Allow me to quote from a recent article by Willis J. Abbot, “It should be borne in mind that the League is‘ not a super state. It does not sc- complish miracles. It exists only for the purpose of offering a forum to which nations on the verge of serious controversy, may, if they will, bring their points oi differ- ence. Moreover there have been but few serious controversies of this character submitted to the League. With the League develop- ed to its fullest extent, the quar- rel between two Oriental Nations, the Government of one which is in- efficient and seldom able to ful- fill its pledges would have been a severe test. This fact must be rec- ognized. If the League has not ful- filled its highest ideals, it does not mean that out of this lesson may not come understanding of the way in which it may be streng- thened in order to meet like con- tingencies in future. You, who criticise the League oi Nations, calling it weak and. inef- flcient-—have you any better sub- stitute to offer? No sane person claims that is a. perfect solution, but it does represent a step in the right direction. Finally, may I urge you not to place the responsibility for main- taining peace solely on the Lea- gue of Nations. As Daughters oi the Empire, let us ponder the wise words of Sir Robert Borden. recently written- “Who are responsible for the world's future peace?

One has to be closely associated with work of this kind to appre- ciate the kindness of the membe when special calls are received- sometimes the response is over- whelming. But there are always the large families of 8 to l0 boys and girls, by whom any surplus is glad- ly received and one can under- stand that clothes half worn out in the beginning wiiiie they fill an immediate need can not last very long the wear and tear of growing boys and girls. It would be diffi- cult to mention the names of those‘ sending in contributions without really writing a membership list- very few have not helped in some way, and those are probably meni- bers who because of inattendance are not aware of the activities of the chapter along these lines We have of course always with us the faithful few to whom no appeal is eve made in vain, and whose in- v able answer is "Weil I guess I can find something." lf it were only for the encouragement embod- ied in the phrase special thanks are due them. It would take too long to dctai Star liner Cymbric, after the offl- cers of that liner noticed a trail of lumber ‘in the water and followed it to the wrecked schooner. The Symbric was torpedoed on her next voyage, Allison said. Captain J. J. Pratt, of Boston. who was not aboard the schooner when she sank, was the only other witness examined today by the Commission. They said lie was in Liverpool when the Cymbric land- ed the crew of the Gypsum Queen there, and he talked to Captain Hatfield the day after he landed. Captain Pratt said he asked Hatfield whether his schooner had been insured, and the owner re- plied it was covered by war risk in- suriince. “What covered?" Captain Pratt siiid he inquired. "We had some stormy weather and I lost my rigging." he quot- ed Hatfield as replying. . Captain Pratt said he told Hat- mission include Major M.
