nearly one hundred members present.
Captain GRAY was very modest about
what he had done during his service
abroad. He had served with a battery as
observation officer, with the supply
section and with the field artillery. He
told of ono thrilling experience he had
while attempting To bring up a supply Of
ammunition for the boys in the trenches
and Of how because of the late arrival Of
the group, through the horses being tired
out, the Germans got the range Of the
road and killed nearly all of the animals.

and his description of the beginning Of a

Scotchman, the chaplain could discourse

quartet and tenor soto delighted the
men and the instrumental portion was
provided by Whites Mandolin Club, that
acquitted itself splendidy.

members had been received, and that the
committees named for the work Of the
brotherhood comprised some Of the best
available material in the church.

The increased costs Of maintaining their

to devote any time to other work for

duties make such, to my mind absolutely
necessary. Of all departments Of State
our judges should be relieved of all
