N. McDonell, These two comrades although now located in distant parts of the glabe, still retain their interest in the association and write at length on their activities in their net spheres. There was considerable discussion regarding a proposal to make some alteration to the by-laws of the local branch but it was finally decided that the by-laws should be left untouched. Plans are well under way for the camp for under-privileged boys which is to be held this summer. Within a week or so the boys will be gathered together so that they Tay receive pre- liminary instructiofi itr camp discipline. The members are very pleased at the many promises of help which have been received in connection with the carrying out of this camp and they are hoping that at least twenty under- priviléged boys may be given a real good outing.

Evidently Peterboro has forgotten all about the Serth incident. J. C.0.B.L. EXECUTIVE MET. Concessions at Fair Grounds Granted to L. Joyce Free of Charge. A meeting of the executive of the Kingston Baseball Club was held on Monday night in the Board of Trade rooms and several important matters were dealt with.

Joyce is a returned vete- ran. He will have the concession free of charge. A report on the grounds was 'sub- mitted and it was stated that the ground would be in good shape for Wednesday. = There will be adequate policing on the grounds during the game. A letter from the Gentlemen's Mat. ineé and Driving Club was received in which co-operation in preserving the track surface was requested. The Driv. ing Club requested that the club see to it that cars were not brought inside the track during practices. The ball club will co-operate in every way and will urge the citizens to assist them. It was decided that cars shall gO in the main gate to the grounds and go up between the Crystal Palace and the wire fence. This will prevent any chance of cars striking people going into the grounds through the small gates. : JUNIOR CITY LEAGUE The Kingston Junior Baseball Lea- gue met on Monday evening in the Standard office for the purpose of drawing up the schedyle for the sea- son.

The Oshawa people thought Curran and Cairns were the same person, hence their question of Cairns' eligibi- lity.

To be a Navy League member was once considered a great honor and but- tons were worn. Now buttons are forgotten--memberships have lap- sed. It is our endeavor to restore again the balance and make all proud once more to be known as a member of the Navy League of Can- ada. It is the quality of durability rather than ideality which makes for the best success in public move- | ments. The objects and policy of the Navy League must be now clear- ly laid down--and the foundations firmly established. It is imperative that this be done. For instance we must emphasize the far reaching in- fluence upon the progress of civili- zation exerted by sea power. There must be no sacrifice of principle in this. What Stands For, There should be no doubt in any- one's mind as to what the Navy League stands for vis: 1. The educational work -- awakening of the sea-conscious spirit in our people for trade and security. 3. Training of our sea cadets for service in either branch. 3. Care of the sailor ashore in our institutes. 4. Care of sallor's dependents. These are the four objective rea- sons for The Navy League of Can- ada. And there can be no doubt that each, and all of these objects will in time be achieved by the Navy League and find eager supporters from Halifax to Vancouver. Opinions rule the world, and we all know that the value of all opin- fon is determined by the accuracy and amount of information upon which it is founded. The Navy Lea- gue may keep the sea conscious spirit astir in our people, it may obtain ships for Canada---mercan- tile and defensive; it may care for the sailor ashore and train our boys in seamanship--but it must in addi- tion direct the opinions of our peo- ple along the lines of national and Fmpire thought, knowledge, duty and obligation. Educational Work. The League's educational work two-fold--informative and educative --the first is the outward and visible form----the second is the inward na- tional and Empire consciousness which alone makes the first possible or necessary. This brings us to mem- bership. Ontario's position has im- proved and if sustained and earnest efforts is shown By all the divisions in the enrollment of members for the League---the membership to-day should be many more thousands, and with membership would have come & greater opportunity 'to educste as well as inform. The Sailor commit. tee now meets every other week and supervises the coming issue, and this arrangement will atford increas- pd opportunity for the co-ordination of educational activities. All diyi- sions are earnestly requested td éo- operate and have all material in for the consideration of this committee by the first of each month, for the next month's issue. Loyalty, honor, justice and free- dom are threatened everywhere every day. The term "A Navy League Man" or "Navy League We- man" could in a very short time be- come synonymous with a "right thinking man" or a "right thinking woman" in every department of Ca- nadian and Empire life. Our Sea Cadet Corps--a sea life ~with all its means of adventure, romhnce, physieal and intellectual development is a great experience for Canadian boys, and the moral advantage of training our youth in British traditions of the sea is be- yond all calculation.
