(Special by Phone.)
SUMMERSIIJE, August 18.-'i`lie
annual meeting of the Maritime Board
Of '1`l‘H<l0 011611011 iiere this morning.
Various causes conspired to make the
attendance at the opening session
smaller than had beenlioped for. The
delegates from Amherst did not come
owing to the lamented death of Mayor
J. H. Douglas. wiio had been an active
and useful member of the Board. The
Sackville delegates, who had arranged
to come by motor boat, were prevented
from coming by the storm. A number
of the delegates from the western part
of the province did not arrive until
the afternoon. The following were in
attendance at the morning sessionz-
Messrs E. 'l‘. Higgs, President; E. H.
Boer, secretary Charlottetown Board

art, Nelson Ratteiibury. J. I-l. Messer-

and it is well for business nien to pre-
pare to meet the future and devise the
best means to be used in the develop-
ment of the Empire. We recognise
that this war is for humanity and tiiat
the destinies of the world are at
stake. It is ii. war in which we nil
must share and do our part that it
may be drawn to a successful close.
We all cannot go to the front, but
those who have are depending on
those who still remain at home to keep
up the necessary supply of men ami
material.
I desire with the good people of
Sunimerside to extend to you a hearty
welcome to the town and also to the
province. which is the Cradle of Con-

To the members of the Maritime
Board of Trade.
Gentlemen.--At this. 0\ll' iwenllelh
convention it becomes my duty U’
present the l’rcsldcnt’s Report for the
past two years.
it is now two years since the Mari-
time Board of Trade last met in con-
vention, iis it was deemed advisable
to postpone the meeting that WM ¢°
be hold last year on account of War
conditions prevailing at the time,
which necessitated tho closest atten-
tion of merchants to their business.
This great war which has ciinfiiivd

i
dustry brought about by the wiir and’
orders that have been placed here.
Let quality be the aim of our manu-
facturers and thus prove their work-
niitnship, and when the war is over
much trade that forineriy went to Ger-
many can bc diverted to Canada and
the Maritime Provinces.
The past two years have been lm-
portant oiies to the Maritime Pro-
vinces. Many conditions tliroiigiioiit
the world resulted in a very unsettled
money market so that fliiancial-~liouscs
exercised much caution iii the financ-
ing of new enterprises or extending
old ones, which helped to cause a great
industrial depression through thc
world. But as citizens of the Mari-
time Provinces we should feel proud
that the financial stringency was less
acute here than iii other parts, ol’
(laiiailii, especially was this true of
l‘rincc Fldwarii lsliiiid, whore coiidi-
tioiis were prosperous and hopeful.
'l`iic dcvclopinciii of thc Maritime
Provinces is steady and sure. They
are not boom centres, so are not sub-
ject to the periods of sharp reaction
that happens where development is
too rapid.
It is pleasing to nie to see so many
questions that have been agitated by
this lloard brought to ii successful
issue since our last annual meeting.
With the greatly improved tele-
graph service between l’.E.l. and the
niaiiiiitnd and the latest boon in the
form of the telephone cable across the
Straits, thus uniting the Maritime
Provinces more closely than ever, the
use of this cable is free, only -the land
line rates being chiirgctl. also the
rodiicilon in cable rates between
(lrciit ilritniii and Canada.
Another question that this Board
strongly iitlvocateil was, better trade
relations with the West india Islands
and since we last met the Dominion
government entered into a contract
with the Royal Mail Steam Packet (lo.,
providing ii much improved service
from St John and Halifax to the West
indics. The Dominion government
niso iiiriugiiriited the (luiieidiaii Parcels
Post System, thus bringing producer
and consumer together.
Liiinberliig. fishing, mining and agri-
culture are prospering and, after all,
these are our staple und sure liidiis-
tries, which suppy t.lie necessities of
life that are always in demand.
The Doiiiliiioii Government lias
established a Fisheries intelligence
ilureuu, with the object of bringing
before the flsliermen the best means
of curing und packing fish, and are
encouraging the shipping of fresh fish
inland by paying a proportion of the
express charges.
The high cost of living is caused
largely by the growth of the cities at
the expense oi' the country; the rush
from the farm to the cities means less
food producers; the problem is how
to induce more people to get back to
the hind, which would not only lessen
the cost of living, but improve the
virility of the nation. then with the
practice of thrift, real prosperity will
set in and the country should develop
on a sound basis. We must have thrift
among the masses.
it is pleasing to know that the big
cari ferry steamer that is to ply be-
tween P.E. Island and the mainland is
now in Maritime waters mid is ex-
pected to open up the service this fall.
This is another link that will bind the
Maritime Provinces together.
With the car ferry between P. E.

harbour improvements at Halifax and

not important. A ststeineiit given
out by the official Press Bureau says
Zcppelins visited the eastern counties
last night and dropped bombs. Anti-
alr craft guns were in action and it is
believed one Zeppelin was hit. Air
patrols were active but owing to
difficulty with utmosplieric conditions
the Zeppeiins were able to escape.
Some houses and -other buildings, ln-

SUMMARY
OF WAR
SITUATION ‘
(Special to the Guardian.)
LONDON, Aug. 18.-Kovno. one of
the crucial points in the Russian dc-
fensive in the north, was captured by
the Germans last night, and the road
to Vilna, Warsaw and Petrograd rail-
wiiy is now open to the troops of
Emperor William. The capture of the
fortress is another triumph for the
German 16-inch guns which throughout
the present war have been brought
against fortifications they were un-
|abie to subdue. With the fortress of
Kovno the Germans have taken over
400 guns and an enormous quantity
of war material. This is not the most.
serious part of the matter to the Rus-
sians. Besides openlng the way to
Vilna, which is an open town from
which most of the inhabitants de-
ported everything of use to the in-
vaders, the fall of the fortress removes
the last protection, with the exception
of the Russian field army, to the
main line of railway to the capital and
also places the Germans in a position
to threaten the flanks of the Russian
army retiring to the Brest Litovsk
line and those operating in southern
Courland. Grand Duke Nicholas ap-
parently expected tlie fall of Kovno,
for his armies were liiistening in re-
tirement. The hold their own from
Kovno to the south, but farther south
they are being pressed from the north-
east by Geiierais Von Sclielz and Von
Galliwitz. and fi'oni the west by Arch-
duke Leopold, who crossed the Bug
River. It is the same in the south,
where General Von Mackcnzen finally
succeeded in driving the Muscovites
to their outer positions of the fortress
of Brest Litovsk. For the first time
since his retirement from Western
Galicia in May Grand Duke Nicholas

SIR GEORGE
A large and enthusiastic iniiliciice
greeted Sir George E. Foster last even-
ing iii the Market: I-lall, Sumnicrsldc,
when he delivered a really excellent
address on condltioiis arising from the
war. Sir George is an orator-aiid
from the begiiiiiing to the end of his
magnificent address hc held the closest
attention of the large aiulience. lie
divided his discourse largely into three
parts, addressing himself first of all
to the Board of Trade in particular,
dealing with the development of com-
merce anrl its indispensability to the
progress of tho world, then going on
to speak of the wur and its effect on
trade and commerce, and lastly,
Canada's part in the war. After ii few
introductory remarks. in which Sir
George expressed regret that they
had not called upon the Hon. John Mc-
Lean, who was present, and whom he
knew well, and who he knew too could
have dealt ably with local conditions.
the speaker proceeded. The gentle-
men of the Board of Trade, he said,
who were carrying on a two days' dis-
cussion, were gentlemen of practical
experieiice, wiio came from different
portions of the Maritime Provinces.
out of the field of operations, and knew
their own business, who understood
the conimerciiil questions. ami it was
iiiiiiecessary for him to attempt to go
liito the minutiae of business and
trade. lie lind always found it a good
thing for the individual in trade or
profession to corelate himself with
other businesses and other people
than himself. He did not think a. man
did his best ln his profession, nor that
on lndustry did its best in the prose-
cution of its work if it isolated itself
from all that surrounded it, and looked
mainly and chiefly to its own interests.
The lesson which they should all
learn, but which many of them were
slow to learn, is that they are an inter-
dependent cominiiiiity, and an inter-
dependent nation, and that as no man
liveth unto himself, so no trade. in-
dustry or profession can live to itself.
and do its best. lt is always strength
to a msn if he is following s. certain
line of life to find out what is back ot
him, what is around hini, so that he
can better face what is ahead of him.
These men dn the best work in the
world, and those nations best in
national life, which take account of
the bases upon which they have
grown, and upon which they are to
proceed, and each take account as
well of the factors which surround

cause it is best for thc world's work
that it should be orgiiiiiscd, and which
is iiecessary to the world's work.
Members of thc iloard of Trade (lon-
stitute, in the first place, a selfish
body, looking after the interests of a
particular section of commercial
development, but tlie_iiiglier plane on
which they should and do move is that
they perform a great public service.
without which the community would
not get along as wetl as it does, and
that element of the public service is
uplifting in the matter of trade and
COIl1i`l'lCT`(€i`¢.
The speaker then went ont to deal
with the development of tradc and
commerce from the time of primitive
man through the wood, stone and iron
ages, up to the present twentieth
century, with its complicated and
'mighty tools and engines of civilisa-
tion. liow small this world would be in
every sense, material and otherwise.
lf man's needs were met by the pro-
duct aiongside of himself. if one small
country were nble to supply its needs
without application ot any other out-
side itseif, but the good Lord knew
what lie was about when He made
the world of different climates and
different zones, iiavliig different pro-
ducts, and it is in order to satisfy tho
deiniinds, needs and wants of the
worid that coinmerce has attained its
present stupeiidous proportions. lie

propelled by winds. 11D to the present
leviathan of the sea. He said that the
boys and girls oi' to-day occupy them-
selves to an iinnecesaary extent with
the perusal of romance and suchllke
literature. l-le thought there was no
story ever imagined :nat could equal
in grandeur the story that could be
painted hy the artist adequate to the
task of thc great development of trade
and commerce which the world has
witnessed from earliest times up to
the present day.
The speaker then went on to speak
of the war. In the first place, hs said
that some people would say that war
was the promoter of commerce. and
he had a man argue with him on
the subjcrt. but his view was differ-
ent. Ho bciicved that war was tho
born enemy of commerce and could
never he anything else. Commerce
tlourlshcs when there is peace and
'security. Commerce dwindlcs when
therc is war and insecurity, and this
them. We hear n great deal to-day,
he said. of public services, and in these
times of war and sacrifice it is upon
our hearts. Members of the Board of
Trade, who think of themselves as
i
part. of a great world system which has
all our tongues. and ought to bc in ail-
a history and which is organised bc-
war to-day, the greatest in history.
creates the cataclyem of business and
trade, and why should it not? This
war is so wide it gathers in so many
nations. Ho went on to prove con-
clusively and in an incontroveriible
as history had proved, and the present
war, above all others, was justifiable
in the extreme. llritain had to cngugo
in it to uphold her honour and trudi-
tions. Ile then went on to show the
seriousness of the war to Germany
in the matter of trade and commerce.
All their ships had been driven from
the seas and with thc exception of an
accident here and there, the ships of
the Allies plnuglied the seven seas
with almost the same frceileni as they
did before the 1st of. August, 1014.
Germany had lost her colonial posses-
sions and had to depend for her main-
tenance entirely witliiii her borders.
lie said that while it would cost ai
great deal of sacrifice, Britain had to
conquer, and in the emi Gerniziny
would be cut off from commercial ex-
istence by the Allies, and would have
to repair the shattered machinery of
her natioiiai life, while she would be
a comparatively weak nation. Sir
George then went on to speak of the
part (Tannda is playing in the war.
in the first plnce Cniiadu must take
advaiifage of whatever opportunities
she has in iniikiiig supplies that are
needed for the conduct of the war.
Nearly 400,000,000 dollars of war sup-
plies have come to (`anadian manu-
facturers from Great Britain und the
Allied niitioiis. This is u ti'einciid-
ously huge sum. but it is only n frac-
tion of all that Caiinda in norninl tinies
could produce. Another thing. t‘nnii-
dlaiis should do is to supply them-
selves to the last possible dollar out
of what they raise and make in
Canada.-to supply themselves to the
last possible dollar with all their needs
that are at all possible to be supplied
out of what can be grown and manu-
factured ln Canada. This adds to the
employment and diminishes non-
employmont by keeping the balance
of trade where it ought to bo kept.
in our favour.
The speaker then went on to insist
on economy. We have to rely. he said,
on our own earnings and savings. and
every man in this war, and every
woman should make a savings bank of
himscif or herself, and spend on
nothing but what is absolutely ncccs-
siiry. We niust always lcnrn to forego
present advantages for the futiirc and
greater good. That is what differen-
tiates between man and the brute
kind. And so his message to them
was to tell thcm to inake everything
in Canada that they necrlod. and to
import as little luxury as possible.
