Members' Deaths
But, I have one duty-and a sad one and that is to record the deaths of seven of our members since we last met in annual meet- ing. I refer to Messrs. J. W. Faulkener, T. H. Gosden, J. W Matthews, D. G. Jones and W. G. Gerrard, and, since the report was issued, Capt. F. J. Connolly and Mr. David Harvey. We are still all shocked by the great loss which this Club has suffered by the death of Mr. Harvey. He was, as you all know, a very old mem- ber of this Club, and one who by reason of his devoted services was some years ago made a life member. Not only had he occú- pied the Presidential chair, but for the last quarter of a century had served almost without a break on the General Committee.
New President
Mr. D. F. Warren was elected President; and Mr. H. Nish, Vice- President; Mr. E. W. L. Hogbin, Hon. Secretary; and
Mr. F. Rapley, Hon. Treasurer.

It is true that the soldier's hand is still: It is true that the soldier's brain will never again think out, the problems of war. But Ferdinand Foch, the man is alive. He has passed, that is, his great immortal soul has passed frontiers greater than the barriers of the Marne, of the Somme. He has passed the frontiers of time, where man thinks not of war. He has entered the land of eternal peace. For him the Last Post has sonnded victory. May it sound the same, victory for us."

Londer, Yesterday. The King has sent a message to M. Doumerge, saying, "With heart- felt sorrow I offer you, Mr. Presi dont and the French nation, my deep sympathy in the death of
Marshal Foch,
France mourns her greatest soldiers, and my country the loss of one whose name is honoured on the roll of British Field-Marshals. For all time he will be remembered the Allied armies to victory, while as the distinguished chief who led his memory will be cherished by all ranks of the Empire's forces who served in the world war.

sent the King at the orial ser-
