The fund will be administer-" ed by a commission consisting of the County Judge, Col. Farewell, the Warden and Col. Bick. Reeves of municipalities are expected to re- port any cases of need arising from the war. A request was made for an appropriation of $20,000, but it was felt that the present County Council was scarcely warranted in assuming a responsibility which would largely be borne by the County Council of next year. As we understand, the conditions upon which the appropriation is made, the money is to be used as needed, and such as is not required will be retained by the County. Should the requirements be greater than $15,000 a further sum will be voted. County Councils are now required by law to build and maintain a Children's 'Shelter in the County. 'A deputation of gentlemen from Oshawa waited on the Council and pointed out that such a shelter had already been built and equipped at Oshawa, and had been in operation for about a year. They asked that this shelter be taken over by 'the County Council. This body went to Oshawa and inspected the prem- "and the result of the investigation is that the Council is making a grant ister of Prussia, He imme: army re-organization scheme. my.

Was it or was it not a hostile act against Britain? _ And there was the significant speech of the Emperor just afterwards, in which he said, 'the trident must be in our fist." Then came the fierce outbreak of Anglophobia during the Boer war, and again the Emperor voiced the general feeling by saying: "We are in bitter need of a strong German navy If the increased demand during the first years of my reign had not been con- tinually refused tome. . i how differently should we be able to further our flourishing commerce and our interests over-sea." Then came the German Navy Bill, which laid the foundation of Germany's naval power.

Here is an extract from an article by the great German historian, Professor Treitsche ; . "If our Empire has the courage to follow an independent Colonial policy with determination, a collision of our interests and those of Eng: land is unavoidable. ~~ It was natural and' logical that the new Great Power of Central Europe had to settle affairs with all great Powers. We have settled our accounts with Austria- -Hungary, with France, and with ¥ Russia. The last settlement with England will probably be the lengthi- est and most difficult," .

Reeve Gerow aad some others opposed this proposal on the atund that if the County was under obligation to build a shelter, proper con- sideration should be given to placing it in the most suitable position te serve the County's needs. However, the majority of the Councillors were satisfied to take the shelter at Oehawa as it is, and the objection was overruled. The waterworks system of Whitby is to be connected with the House of Refuge and the Court House on a fixed assessment for ten years.
