R., in Buckingham Memorial Friday evening was attended by both the Third and Fifth companies, served by the Woman's Relief corps, a number of brief addresses were made. Commander Orrin M. Price actd as toastmaster. Captain William G. Tar George B. Church of the Third com pany thanked the post on behalf of their companies.
 Mayor Timothy c. Murphy spoke briefly on preparedness. He urged his hearers not to believe in the different versions of the press. but to let the wise heads that rule the government do as they see fit and to stand back of them. The people that look for sen satiOnalism and lead sensational lives accomplish very little. The people with the wise heads are the ones that accomplish things and those people are at the head of our government.
 Commander Price made a few re- marks on the thinning of the ranks of the G. A. R. and said, like the veterans of the war of 1912, all will die out. Commander Price said that the ranks in the past year. The lesson these veterans have taught ought to be an incentive for the present coast artil- lery.
 Rev. George H. Strouse, pastor of the First Baptist church, spoke on pre- paredness and said that preparedness to live is the best preparedness. If the preparedness 10 fight went to- gether with preparedness to live every body would favor it and the world would be made better, he continued. The causes of all wars have been greed and jealousy. DiscGrd is characteristic Of ali the world and there is no way to settle the trouble but war. If all would prepare to live this world would be great deal better off. To get all we can out of this world seems to be the chief characteristic. but if all the people would try to put all they can into the world we would be preparing to live. In closing, Rev. MT. Strouse said: Let us prepare to live.
 George A. Turner sang a song writ ten for the veterans. At the close of the evening all arose and sang Amer lea in closing.
 The executive committee of the Womans Relief corps had charge of the affair.
