BROTHERHOOD MEETING. 
The semi-monthly meeting of the 
Manchester Brotherhood was_ held 
Monday evening, when Father Fan 
Noli of Albania, gave a most inter- 
esting talk on the political situation 
of Albania and its influence in the 
Balkan territory, his special mission 
being to interest Americans in the 
of bringing power to bear on the na- 
tions at war, at the close of the war, 
to gain the territory granted her by 
the London Conference at the close 
of the last Balkan war. Owing to 
the recent Balkan complications, 
which increase the pivotal import- 
ance of that region, Fr. Noli’s utter- 
ances were not only timely, but full 
of interest. 
There were 71 at the meeting. <A 
collation of ice-cream and apple-pie 
was served at the close.

ly numbers and enjoyed a very pleas- 
ant evening as the guests of the Man- 
chester camp. Commander Bell wel- 
comed the guests and introduced 
Division Organizer E. W. Homans 
of Wakefield as the speaker of the 
evening. He gave an interesting talk 
of his recent trip to the Washington 
encampment. He was followed by 
Rev. C. S. Pond, chaplain of the Bev- 
erly Farms camp, who gave some 
good reasons why all eligibles shou:d 
join the Sons of Veterans, and he 
was followed by Rev. Charles A. 
Hatch of the Manchester camp, who 
spoke along similar lines, The other 
speakers of the evening were Com- 
mander Enoch Crombie ‘of Post 67 of

Beverly, a member of the Division 
17 
Council; District Aid F. Butler of 
the Saugus Camp, and Camp Aid W. 
P. Hanners of the Beverly Camp.

were served. 
Editor North Shore Breeze, 
Dear Sir: 
I cannot answer the latest retort 
of the chairman of the Manchester 
Woman Suffrage Committee in quite 
the same vein, because I have never 
found it necessary to indulge in per- 
sonal abuse—it is a sign that one’s 
real arguments are exhaused and that 
defeat is looming large before one. 
Neither do I find it necessary to mis- 
quote. Miss Stanwood will find the 
account of the Chicago suffrage con- 
vention, with the quotation which I 
gave from Miss Shaw, in-the columns 
of the Chicago Evening Journal. 
With regard to the criticism of Col. 
Irish I must, however, protest. Ceol. 
Irish spoke on October 2d in the 
Square to some fifty people, who 
gathered to hear him in spite of the 
storm—an audience two or three 
times as large as that (numbering ex- 
actly twenty-three) which assembled 
on a beautiful summer afternoon to 
hear Mrs. Gilson talk on woman suf- 
frage. The writer of the criticism of 
Col. Irish was one of those who 
braved the storm, but she neverthe- 
less asserts that he was low and vul- 
gar in his speech, and made indecent 
jokes about American women. I was 
present and nothing low, vulgar or 
jocose at the expense of our woman- 
hood was said by Col. Irish or any- 
one else—in fact he spoke with mark- 
ed courtesy. In refutation of the at- 
tacks made upon the Colonel will you 
kindly print the following letter writ- 
ten to Mr. Colt by a Boston suf- 
fragist, the Rev. Charles W. Wendte, 
D.D., who has known Col. Irish for 
many years. 
Mrs. WritiamM LOWELL PUTNAM, 
Otober 20, 1915. 
[The letter referred to by Mrs. 
Putnam is already printed in a com- 
munication from Margaret C. Robin- 
son printed on page 20 of ne issue.

LARGE RETURNS. 
“Doubleworth is a facetious fellow.” 
“In what respect ?” 
“Announcing the arrival of twins at 
his house, he said love had declared a 
dividend on both common and_ pre- 
ferred stock.” 
On the whole, it is better for the 
small boy to soil his fingers with 
mamma’s jam than to have them 
blown off by the cannon cracker,
