Who Empha Went wo Rescue ~Tributes Paid to the Late Robest Meek, Who Organized 'the Local Campaign. Ss, A spirit of optimism and confi- dence in the ultimate victory.of the allied arms permeated the magnifi- cent address of Capt. T. F. Best in the City Hall on Wednesday night. Despite the depressing circumstances under which his remarks were mad , the Y.M.C.A. officer with his sincere attitude, his dry humor, his conver- . sational manner and his pleasant drawl enthused his large audience with the magnitude of the work un- dertaken at the front by the Red Triangle, and the cordial response of the citizens in the hall presaged successful results in the forthcoming campaign for funds, In introducing Capt. Best, Mayor Hughes referred feelingly to the pass- ing of the late chairman of the cam- paign, Robert Meek. His Worship 'was much affected by the sudden de- mise of Mr, Meek, but he declared that on the last oecasion of their meeting the late chairman had ex- pressed the wish that, owing to his own poor health, the mayor should act as chairman of the committee, and carry the important campaign to a succesful culmination. Two and one-quarter million dollars are to be raised by the Military Y.M.C.A. and of this amount the city of Kingston is expected to contribute at least fifteen thousand dollars on May 7th, 8th and 9th. "There will be more returns from your contributions to this fund," declared 'his Worship, "than from the 5% per cent. interest of the Victory Loan. Every man, woman and child should contribute something, and we | will not let it be said that the second oldest city in Canada fell down in its allotment." As an outsider, Capt. Best said fhe did not feel competent to pay a personal tribute to the late Robert Meek, but from the many expressions of regret which he had heard during the day from those who knew him, he had no hesitation in saying that the deceased would be sorely missed. | "These ate not the days when a man is measured by his wealth or his power or his prestige, but by the service that he is able to be to his fellows, and I can only wish that the mantle of Mr. Meek may fall upon the mayor and the committees and the citizens in the forthcoming cam- paign. His memory and his desire been able to break that same indomi- table spirit." Work Of Red Triangle. The speaker drew the attention of his hearers to the work that was 'be- ing accomplished by various organ- izations to maintain that wonderful "esprit de corps" and morale among the soldiers. The Chaplains' Service was accomplishing tasks that could not be overestimated in cheering the weary ones, in assuaging the pain of the wounded, in comforting the dy- ing. ' The Red Cross societies were doing wonderful work, and their supplies formed the backbone of the medical services, which were saving the lives of hundreds and thousands of 'brave men. Last, and not least, the captain narrated the activities of the men in the Red Triangle. Three hundred and fifty men in the Mili- tary Y.M.C.A. were serving between sixty and seventy thousand cups of hot drinks every day to the men in the Canadian conps freely in the dug outs and in the rest camps, Capt, Besi vizualized the concerts, iha "movie" shows, the athletic sports, sometimes with his contagious and ready wit gladdening the hearts of his hearers, sometimes with a pathos, which brought a lump to the throat and a tear to the eye as the sacrifices of the men on the edge of No Man's Land were brought near. It was to maintain these organiza- tions that appeals were being made for funds. The letters written home on Red Triangle notepaper testitied te the inestimable value of the work of the Y.M.C.A., and it was to sustain the spirit and morale of the men on the fighting line that contributions were sought In conclusion Capt. Best beseeched his hearers to realize that the war was on, even though it had not touched Canag as Belgium and France and SB had been touched, and that only the line] of stalwan:-t nen that stretched from the coast of Belgium to the frontier of Switzar- land and the silent ships of the irit- ish navy stood between Canadians and the barbaric Huns. To be wor- thy of the sacrifices of that line should be the prompting motive of every oitizen, "As a last word," said Capt. Best, "let me quote you those familiar for the success of the appeal will be an inspiration, and the allotment of Kingston will be above the mark be- cause of the citizens' love and respect for one who long served them." The Time For Action, Capt. Best remarked several times that he was not a preacher, and, therefore, he did not choose a text. It was apparent, however, that his splendid address was based on one thought, and if he had been a preach- er and had chosen a text it would have been, "This is not the time for pessimism, This is the time for ac tion." There was a tendency on the part f the people at the presént time to look at the darker side of the gitua- tion, and to dispel this attitude the speaker drew a vivid picture of the first days of the war, antl then com- pared it to the present circumstances in which the Allied armies are placed, "There is no need for down-heart- edness at the present time," said Capt. Best. "In the first years of the WAr we were féd up on optimistic war news and were living in a fool's para- dise. For the first two years of the war we had no chance to win and many beautiful chances of losing." The speaker pointed out the inade- quacy of the equipment and the heart-breaking environment of the dauntless soldiery. He declared that in that early stage the German army 'Was the greatest fighting machine RA hh on Bd SPRING SUITS Tn the Intent nt A large range of IN BTRYN nar At $25.00 Exten good value.

During the evening the R.O.H.A. band played, and the meeting was brought to a close with 'The King" and three cheers for the Red Triangle and Capt. Best.
