Lanos--Regard Treat- ment of Her Case as a Disgrace to Canada. There was a surprisingly large at- tendance at the meeting of the G. W. V. A. Monday evening in view of the fact that so niany of the members were at the Fair Grounds making pre- , parations for the big day on July Ist. it is not yet definitely settled that the "Over the Top" show will be repeated in Ogdensburg, N.Y., on July 4th, but contracts have been signed, and Brig.- Gen. Hemming is helping to obtain from Ottawa permission for those in uniform to enter United States terri- tory. Gerald Fitzgerald and George G. Daniels, who came to the city to represent the American Red Cross, are most enthusiastic as to the draw. ing power of an "Over the Top" cele- bration put on in the American city, and are most anxious that the Kings- ton Branch G. W, V. A should go to Ogdensburg to repeat the perform- ance which takes place on July Ist in Kingston. - -- Roofevelt's Letter. Much _intefesting correspondence was considerefl by the Association and filed. "Perhaps the most interesting letter of all was one from ex-President Theodore Roosevelt. It was charac- teristic and to the point, as follows: "My Dear Mr. Topping,--That's ex- tremely kind of you, but it is an ut- ter impossibility for me to attempt anything additional. With hearty thanks and real reget. "Faithfully yours, "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." A letter was also received from Mrs. Arthur Meighen of Ottawa, consent: ing to act as a judge in some of the contests on July 1st. Police Magistrate J. M. Farrell wrote stating that he would bring the rec- ommendation of the Veterans before the Police Comntissioners at their next meeting, and advise the 'Associa- tion of the result. - Principal Taylor sent a telegram from Vancouver that he would be in Toronto for the week of July 29th to attend the Dominion Convention, G. W. V. A, as a delegate from the local branch, © This telegram was greeted with great enthusiasm by the mem- bers present. Replies were received from the Civil Service Commission, the Depart- ment of Justice, and Sir George E. Foster with regard to the endorsation of Brig.-Gen, W. S. Hughes for the position of superintendent of peniten- tiaries. The provincial secretary-treasurer promised a detailed report of the meeting of the provincial executive, G. W. V. A, with the executive of the Y. M. C. A. held in Toronto June 20th, A Referendum Taken. A referendum was taken on resolu: tions sent down from provincial head- quarters. . The Association voted unanimously that the conditions of membership remain unchanged--ac- tive members to be men who had seen service in England and France: asso- ciate members to be those who had received an honsrable discharge in Canada or who had served in some previous war or campaign. It was felt that no distinction should be made between those who went across before the passing of the Military Service Act and those who have gone to remain a Veterans' Association men still in uni- ji form who had not been out of Canada could not be admitted. The resolution "that the Provincial Executive take up the question of withdrawing and exchanging the present associate members' button for one a distinctly different pattern from the active members' button," os car- ried dnanimously. Reports of Committees. The bandmaster, Comrade Sinclair, reported that the band was progress- ing very well, that with the co-opera- $i tion of local bandsmen who were not members of the Association he hoped to be able to make a good showing on July Ist. He stated that Adjutant Smith, of the Salvation Army, and Bandmaster Hunt, of the 14th, had very kindly promised every available bandsman for that day. ~The an- nouncement was made that the band would go to Ogdensburg with the oth- ers on July 4th, and bandsmen were encouraged to turn out to practise so that they might take in this trip if authority comes through for it. Two matters chiefly had been con- ji sidered by the investigation commit- tee. The treatment received by the widow of the late Professor Lanog, of the Royal Military College, was con- sidered a disgrace to Canada. This case 1s to be pushed hard. Recom- mendations will be made to Ottawa that pressure be brought to bear on the French Government to make them do what is right in this case. I they will not act, then that the Cana. dian Government do its duty. Comrade Trennear's complaint against the Daivs tannery was refer- red back after some di ion to the n committee, that they might go further into the facts before action. itor the nor reported for ) that more than improvement shad been plac "building by the Comrade and given by its owner for this _pur- bers of WHIG, TUESDAY, JUNE 25, 1918.

Last evening patrons of this popular playhouse were highly de- lighted with Ifttle Mary McAllister in the stellar role of "Paul's." Aside from her histrionic ability, the child bears a distinction of which no other photoplay star can boast. She holds the appointment by the War Depart- ment as an non-commissioned officer modified to suit the requirements of low category mien, at the discretion of the officer commanding, with the concurrence of the medical officer. A training history sheet will be incor- orated with each man's documents, and will be kept up to date. recruits have completed the fourteen weeks' syllabus of training, officers commanding garrison battalions are to ensure that these men receive such in the regular army. She is the youngest officer in the army. They say that every family has its hidden skeleton--it's something that is never spoken of save with bated | breath---a sort of bete noir, but in| Charles Ray's family--that is, in his | pleture, "The Family Skeleton."

The queer part of it ail is that the hero, whose particular skeleton is | that he fancies himself an incurable | drunkard, suffers far more than if | his trouble had been real.
