Secretary be directed to cast the ballot for the nominees. Carried. 
President R. A. Cooley: I will therefore declare the members 
whose names have been read duly elected as officers for the ensuing 
year. Is there any miscellaneous business? 
Secretary A. F. Burgess: I have not heard any recommendation 
by the membership committee or any other committees in connection

to the war. A considerable number are in the United States army 
and navy, and we have several members who are soldiers in the 
allied armies. I would move that the dues of officers or enlisted 
men, members of this Association in the United States or allied 
armies or navies, be remitted until the close of the war. Carried.
