. The fifteenth meeting of the Committee was held at 68, Victoria Street, S. W., on Tuesday, November 29, 1904, at 4.30 p.m.

(1) The Minutes of the fourteenth Meeting were confirmed. (2) ·With reference to Minute seve:u of the last meeting, the Committee noted that

Mrs. Forrest had left to the discretion of the Oommittee the allocation of the balance of the Forrest Memorial Fund.

(3) Colonel James pointed out the desirability of having the three "V.C." pictures framed temporarily, pending the completion of the Royal Army Medical College. On the proposal of Lieutenant-Colonel Firth, seconded by Colonel Sloggett, this was agreed to, at a cost not to exceed 10s. per picture.

(4) At the request of the Principal Medical Officer, Netley, Lieutenant·Colonel Twiss reported, for the information of the Oommittee, that the Orimean War Memorial at the Royal Victoria Hospital, is in need of renovation. Information is not yet available as to the exact amount of repair necessary.

Surgeon-General Keogh offered to make an arrangement with an expert to report on the condition of the memorial, and to state what he might consider the best steps to. be taken to place it in a satisfactory condition. The Committee agreed to Surgeon· General Keogh's proposal, and postponed further consideration of the matter until it was in possession of sufficient information.

(5) Periodic payments for the maintenance of children at charitable schools are being carried out through the Principal Medical Officers of the districts in which the parents reside.

The Committee is of opinion that it is desirable to continue this procedure, as it enables the Principal Medical Officers to keep in touch with the children concerned.

(6) Colonel James laid before the Committee the case of No. 1154, Corporal G. F. A., who was invalided from the service with tubercle. He is in receipt of 2s. 6d a day pension. Colonel James stated that it was desirable that Corpora A. should be admitted into a home for the treatment of tubercle, and pointed out that at the Victoria Hospital for Consumption, Edinburgh, the cost of maintenance and treatment for such cases is £1 1s. per week. He strongly recommended the case to the Committee for consideration. Surgeon-General Keogh seconded this recommendation.

The Committee unanimously resolved to devote the sum of £10 from the General Relief Fund towards the maintenance of Corporal A. at the above institution for a· period of four months, the pensioner himself contributing the balance requisite for his support. Colonel James promised to make the necessary arrangements forthwith.

R.A.M.O.(V.) LEEDS COMPANY .. ANNUAL DINNER.

THE Leeds Volunteer Company of the Royal Army Medical Oorps held their seven. teenth annual dinner at the Grand Central Hotel, when there was a strong muster of members and guests of the Oorps.

The Oommanding Officer (Major De Burgh Birch) presided, and among those present were Lieutenant Wear, Lieutenant Robson, Lieutenant Young, and Honorary Oaptain-Quartermaster Gardner, of the Oompany: Brigade-Surgeon LieutenantOolonel Lee, of Dewsbury; Oaptain Bullock, Oaptain McPherson, and Lieutenant Peel, of the Leeds Artillery Volunteers; Surgeon-Oaptain Waite, of the Leeds Engineers; Dr. Trevelyan, Dr. Pearson, Superintendent of the Leeds Infectious Diseases Hospitals, Mr. WaIter Thompson, Mr. Atter, Mr. T. Sanders, and Mr. F. Sherburn.

After the loyal toast had been proposed in suitable terms by the chairman, and duly honoured, Lieutenant Wear proposed the toast of "The Visitors." In doing so, he said they might congratUlate themselves upon the fact that for the first time in its history the personnel of the Oorps was quite complete. He coupled with the toast the names of Lieutenaut-Oolonel Lee and Staff-Sergeant Fitz, of the R.A. M.O.

Lieutenant-Oolonel Lee, responding to the toast, which was received with musical honours, said that in England we were passing through what might become a crisis in regard to the differences with Russia, and the eyes of the country were turned on the war in the Far East. Relating some interesting reminiscences of a visit to Japan, Lieutenant-Oolonel Lee \Vent on to say that the points about the Japanese which struck everyone were their adaptability and their earnestness. He had noticed the readiness with which they were prepared to pick the brains of the West. They. did not imitate blindly but sifted the evidence for themselves, and he remembered being particularly struck by the signs he saw of the great progress the Japanese had made, and the great knowledge they had acquired in medical and surgical work. They had sent representatives to all· the. leading countries of the West, and had picked up the best that was to be found.

Staff-Sergeant Fitl!i also responded suitably, and the remainder of the, evening was devoted to the enjoyment of a lengthy and varied musiCal programme.
