don to the Herald says: The second meeting
of the Herald Relief Fund Committee was
held in Paris on Friday afternoon, Messrs.
Shaw, King, Harmon, Baldwin. Hepworth and
Bennett being present Mr.. Shaw was chosen
permanent chairman. 1t was agreed that the
approach of actual famine had been for the
moment to n considerable extent met by the
action of the various committees which have
already been organized, wliilo IL WAS made
clear that there arc some of the remote and
very poorest portions Of tho country which
have as yet received no help, or at
least very inadequate assistance. This being
admitted, and the fact being also clearly put
before the committee that tho greatest press
ure Of poverty will be felt during tho months

vest tho committee decided that IL would not
only offer immediate assistance 10 districts
not yet reached or covered, but should also be
prepared for tho inevitable increase Of misery
which must occur before autumn. Mr.. Ben

power to act in cases of special need reporting
at the next meeting, which will bo held in

Each momber of the committee expressed
his determination to make n personal visit to
those parts of the country which aro found to
bo in the greatest reed of assistance. 1t was
resolved that accounts be opened with the
Munster bank and the National bank, and
that any three members of the committee
have power TO sign checks. 1t was further re-
| solved that as reports from Donegal show that
that district is in worry critical condition, it
be chosen rs the first field Of operation, and
