These things have' been going on since Octo- ber 15. Ten daye ago 15,000 had been taken in Flanders' alone. How many are there now? Between 20,- 000 and 30,000.

What is Belgium's' answer to this new crime? “Today her' soul is stricken. Every- one of tiles'e captives has to choose between death and dishonor, Their spirit is broken by the slow, Snawing torture endured in complete isolation. "ln order to inflict new torture upon ller victims, Germany has had to abandon her last hope that she might possess a rank among the civ-- illzed nations of the world. Since the beginning of the war sho has piled up such a heap of horrors that the wildest imaginations imlght well shrinkofrom it. But these slave raids' will be con'sidered in the future the keystone' of the ghastly monument. it is not only without justification, but without the slightest of exten uatiu-g circumstances.” - _ \ ANNUAI MEETING ] E PATRIIITIG EUNU _ Pursuant to adjournment from thcl evening before, the meeting was re- sumed last night at 8 o’clock in the Legislative Council Chamber, of the' lzrince Edward Island'Branch of the canadian Patriotic Fund, His Lord- ship the Chief Justice. Sir W. W. Sullivamagain presiding. tm- de. claring the- meeting open the Chair- man explained that there were two' grand committees, one, the financial committee whose duty it was to col- lect all funds possible, _to originate schemes for the collection of funds,' and to adopt such methods as they. might doom expedient in order to add to the funds from time to time; and another committee whose duty it was to expendmdney in sid of the wives and children and dependent rala-, tives of those who had gone to fight the battles of the country overseas. He said that each committee was res- ponsible for its own operations, and? he, as President had nothing to do with the collection of funds. Uponl the shoulders of the two committees' must rest the credit, or to them must' attach the blame, if there was any' blame accruing to anybody. In or-T der that the meeting might know exactly how matters stood, His Lord- ship read' a list of those forming the organizing committees throughout the province and commented on the work which had been done by them. . Mr. Justice Fitzgerald stated that there was the gratifying sum of $3, 923 on deposit in savings bank ac- count for the beneficiaries of thai fund. -Paid secretaries, he said.,\ were generally appointed where there were three or four hundred be- neficiaries. According to the rule at Ottawa, a secretary could' not be appointed where there were fewer than 100; in such cases the expendi- ture was not sanctioned. He poin- ted out, however, that there were more than 100 beneficiaries in thi.; province. The idea of the Commit- tee with whom he had worked, said His Honour, was that they might save the expenditure in connection with a secretary. The amount paid out to dependent families here averaged Sli per rn`ontb.= Mr. Tldmarsh sugsested that a ro gular system of canvass should be inaugurated and conducted through- out the province, and in this connec- tion he thought that the best litera- ture available in regard to the Fund should be distributed. After thc distribution of litegature it might be well to issue ofilcial circulars show- ing the necessity for contributions ond setting forth the claims of tho Fund. I-le said that there were fif- teen thousand farms on the 1sland.| and il the farmers were appealed to they would undoubtedly respond_ Thol’ might no reminded-that they had been blessed with a bnuntliui har- vest this year, and if an s\/erase of $3.00 was contributed, which would not be too much for them. 345.000 could be realised in this way alone. The Premier said that; without seeking to place responsibility or blame upon any persons, what the meeting had to do‘was to deal with the present situation and the future. They had much to learn from past mistakes and past ommissioas_ They ‘usd been pursuing various campaigns for recruiting and for patriotic funds as if they were seperate and several questions: but the Patriotic Fund was inseparable from the recruiting Ulliiiiaign and should be so ressrdsd and treated. He said that there were being recruited msn for the 3T°Ie Battery, the 105th Regiment and the Navy, and he suggested that these might be combined ln one great eliort. _- At~sll meetings throughout the country thi various qislms should he presented, Hs also dmv with the naodsity for the services of a Dorlnsnsut secretory. who would be Nluonsibie for organisation and at the disposal 'et the oiileera sod com- mittees st ali- times. lie' should also have an otiloefwhere information Mr. A. A. McLean, M. P. suppor. ted this idea and said taht he had been in communication with-the Na., val Authorities at Ottawa in con. nection with the raising of recruits for the Navy in P. E. island. Thorough organization was insisted upon by Naval Authorities for this Purpose and he had been instructed to submit the names of an executive naval recruiting committee for the province and had done so, and had received a telegram approving oi' the gentlemen selected. He had also been advised to submit the name of a secretary who would act as Chief Or- ganizer, while recruiting naval ofii- cers would also be appointed. He VIIOUSN 8 pormanent secretaliy ap pointed by the Patriotic Fund here- should be asked to co-operate with the Naval Recruiting organization as well as with the Military recruiting organization and the work of all three bodics could be co-ordinated_ Mr. John Anderson also approved of organization being taken in hand at once. -It was quite evident tha: teh organization committees ofthe Pa triotic Fund had fallen to pieces. I-ic believed that the people of the coun- try would be willing and anxious tr contribute to the Patriotic Fund wer( its needs properly put before them. The fault in the past was that they had not realized the responsibilities placed upon them in this connection The Recruiting Association had done its work well. They had thoroughly organized' and appealed for men to give their services for the_country. The same could not be said oi the Pa triotic Fund. The responsibility of those who stayed `at home and who had means to contribute to the Fund had not been sufficiently placed before them. They all felt that they had not responded as they ought in this matter. The time was now ripe to take the necessary action and lit thought the first step in this connec ion would be the appointment of a permanent secretary and the opening of an office where all the necessary information could be supplied and ob- tained. The Premier said that there had not been sufficient publicity and lv: felt that sufficient advantage had not been taken of the press. He did not mean the voluntary and invaluable services which the Press was alwjiys ready to give, but he thought an advertising campaign might be inl- tiated which should be of an educa- tional as well as an informative char- cter. This. of course. would moan the expenditure ol’ money but ii pro perly handled it would he.money wel. spent and would repay a hundred-fold the investment made. After some further discussion Pre mier Mathieson moved and Mr. W. F. Tidmarsh seconded that the Pre sident, Sir W. W. Sullivan, the Chair- man of Relief Committee. Mr. Jus- tice Fitzgerald, the hon. treasurer Mi_ Binning and the members oi the re- lief committee be resleotsd en hive This was sgreed_to.
