 Rev. J. l.. Mcbride was chosen chair man of the meeting. following which a number of our citizens, among them Henry Slater, Nathanael Greene, Mrs. E. L. Harwood, Malcolm Brock, Thos. Von Spronsen and A. E. Lathrop, gave short talks on the subject. There was some objection made to con- lining the relief to be afforded to tho Eelgians, the sentiment of the speak. CTS on this point being that the relief should be extended ., to all sufferers from the war. An objection was also 'N'NNN N6S'iAlSt SChttillb "hdl6f6I luHus may be raised to the Red Cross soci- ety, on the ground that instead of aiding the starving non-combants the money might go to the relief of the soldiers of the waring nations.
 A motion was finally carried that the chairman appoint a committee to take charge of the matter of rais- ing funds for the relief of the women and children of Belgium. The chair appointed a committee of seven. Nathanael Green, chairman, A. E. Lathrop, c. H, Packard. H. c. Steel, Mrs. Alvah Flames. Mrs. E. L. liar wood and Mrs. Malcolm Brock. treasurer.

 The Secretary stated that it was round unnecessary to hand-pick the Matanuska coal that It was used in these tests just as it was taken out and delivered to the Maryland, and if the coal tested was a fair indication of the coal of that field, that the results of the test were SO satisfactory that it justified the belief that Alas ka would be able to furnish the best of fuel for use on naval vessels, and at a saving of thous ands of dollars to the government, which now has to ship all fuel for use of the Pacific fleet from the East or import it from Australia.

 The tests made of the fuel on the cruiser Maryland consisted of subiecting the fuel to All the conditions of service reqirements For seven days the coal was burned under froced draft; four hour test was made at q speed of twenty knots, and also natural draft test of of "A hours at speed of ten knots, with the re
