A letter regretting his absence.and wishing the Association every success was read from Dr. F. F. Westbrook, President of the University of British Columbia. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. The Hon. Secretary read his ��������� annual report in which he showed that our progress though slow and steady was very sure. More officers and stronger and more active local executives were our greatest need. The ^Report was moved, seconded and adopted and a hearty vote of thanks tendered.to the Hon. Secretary. The District Commissioners read their reports, which were adopted. Attention of the meeting was called to a very successful Patrol Leaders Conference at Vancouver. The Financial statement was produced. The report urged that steps be taken \"to largely increase the funds of the Association, which at present con sist solely of the Government Grant It pointed out that the organization of local associations throughout the province and the proper supervision and inspection of Troops cannot be continued without funds to meet the expenses incurred. His Honour, suggested that friends and weil-wlshers of the Association work should become Associate members, .each paying an annual subscription. The Lord Bishop of Columbia endorsed His Honour's suggestion, and pointed out that the Association cannot always depend upon having the Honorary Services of Mr. Heneage, he therefore wished to see some provision now made, while there is yet time.

The soft-hearted humanitarian- ism which during the last few centuries has absolved personal rulers from responsibility for the crimes which they have committed in war is not based upon Christianity or justice. It is tlie result mainly of the extensive inter-marriage of the reigning families, which has given every royal personage a set of, relatives and. defenders in every country in Europe. This inter-marriage system, we may confidently believe, is now dead. The progress of democracy and the growth of national consciousness ..will henceforth make it imposible for a nation such as the British to view with equanimity the tying up of its monarchy with an entangling .web of \"alliances\" which are powerless to prevent warfare.and effective only to prevent justice tbeing done upon those \"who made the war. . 'The constitution of Germany is such.as to make the Kaiser, by divine right, personally responsible for his country's action in precipitating the most murderous war in history, and that responsibility can be purged only by blood. Nor is the mere declaring of war the limit of responsibility resting on the Kaiser he, and he alone, is the person on whom rests the blame for the assassination of unarmed and helpless civilians by his soldiers on land and his submarines at sea. In the case of the submarines there are the cleverest and most direct orders from head quarters, which the officers on board could not disobey without treason, to their soveriegn lord. It is not the captains who must ' be hanged; it is one \"higher up.\"���������Beck's Weekly, We should say that hanging was too good for the Kaiser���������it would end his misery too soon.
