The governor, while commencing
the spirit Of the regular attendants
at meetings, urged that attention
be paid to the score or so who are
not punctual. If they cannot be
made good members they should be
dropped. he said, for they have no
right to play dog In the manger

army was being supported. If the
war had continued till this year
the full strength of the nation
could have been exerted. and even
. greater results than were accom-
plished might have been expected
General Kinds urged more eff
cient preparation. He advocated
