treated in the statement that Is to be con-
sidered. All of the suspended members are
smarting with indignation at the treatment
accorded them and they intend that the
affairs of the society shall have thorough
overhauling If they have the power to bring
1t about They are very much chagr1ned
that the matter should have become public
property, as they fear that the society has
been discredited in the eyes of the people
who must support it. The suspended men,
bers are Independent as to their action, as
they have served the society well in times
past and have never accepted or limited at
the offering of single penny for their
services. They have worked from a spirit
OF patriotism alone. and have put in many
an hour of the hardest and most exacting
kind of work. On this account they be-
lieve that any statement that comes from
them will have some little weight with the
public. and therefore they are careful as to
just what they intend to say. 1t is ex-
pected that the full number of suspended
members will attend the meeting at Miss
Boardman's house this Eevening. and that
decided action will be taken.
