The great and keen interest shown in the work of the local Ladies ' Red Cross Society was never more manifest than on Thursday morning last , when a meeting of the local branch was held in the Lower Schoolroom , Ross . The room was literally packed , and the object for which the meeting was called was to consider the question of what can be done for providing clothing and comforts for the troops while on active service . The chair was taken by Mrs. Arthur Foster , of Brockhampton Court , and she was supported by Mrs. Currey , Miss Verschoyle , and Com- mander Hudson , and the Rev. R. T. A. Money - Kyrle . Among those present were all the leading ladies of Ross and district . Mrs. FOSTER , in her opening speech , aaid there was only one thought uppermost in their minds and hearts that day , and that thought was of their country and the brave men who had gone forth to fight for it . This war had heen forced upon them so suddenly that they hardly realised what it meant and would mean in the way of suffering and sorrow . To - day they stood face to face with the most hideous war of any century , and she asked them : " What can we do here ? " She thought there was only one question that came almost to every heart , and that was : " What can I do to help . That was the reason why they had called them together that morning . They had come there to take into consideration a scheme which had been ably worked out by Mrs. Currey , and Commander Hudson would tell them about what the county committee were doing . But whatever they did it should be done cooly and without being hysterical . What they did would have to be sanctioned by the County . Com- mittee , which was to hold a meeting in Hereford on Friday . What they desired was to get all the different parishes in the Ross district to help in whatever work the county committee desired them to do . She was go- ing to ask Mrs. Currey to lay before them She felt that the sooner they got to work the better . It was hard to wait , and at war time it seemed to be her scheme . woman's mission to wait and to pray , but if they could also work - if they felt that they also were doing their best , no matter in how small a way it could not but prove a help and solace to them in weary hours of tension and anxiety ( applause ) . Funeral of Miss Money at Much Marole . The interment of Miss Vincentia Sybella Money , who passed away at Weston - under- Edge , on Friday , July 31st , at the age of 91 years took place at Much Marole on Tues- day in last week . Although not a native of Much Marcle , she spent many years of her life in the parish , where she was held in high regard and esteem : The remains were enclosed in an elm coffin with brass fittings , and the breastplate bore the following in- scription : - " Vincentia Sybella Money , died 80th July , 1914 , aged 91 years . " The grave in which the body was interred was lined with ferns and marguerites . The service in the Church was conducted by the Rev. C. L. Money - Kyrle ( Vicar ) and the Rev. R. T. A. Money - Kyrle ( of Ross ) . The hymns , " Praise to the Holiest in the Height " and " As now the Sun's declining rays , " sung . were The chief mourners were Col. Olive Grim- ston ( nephew ) . Mrs. Anderson ( niece ) . Rev. Andrew Pope ( cousin ) , Capt . Pone ( nephew ) , Rev. A. Maclaverty ( cousin ) . Mrs. Money ( niece ) , Rev. C. L. Money - Kyrle and the Rev. R. T. A. Money - Kyrle ( cousins ) , Miss V. Money - Kyrle ( cousin ) , Mr. E. Bosanquet , Miss Thompson , Miss Radliffe Cooke , Mrs. Allen , and Rev. A. B. Spittal . The bearers were Messrs . R.

Mrs. CURREY then explained the scheme , and said that during the Boer war some people sent parcels of clothing , etc. , direct , but by doing so they were left on the quay at Cape Town , while others gave indiscriminately to other things . K. Money , Miss Money and Mrs. Hamilton . But since then England had gained consider- able experience , and they wanted to have this work thoroughly organised . What they wanted to do that day was to appoint a strong working committee with a represen- The Birmingham Boy Scouts ' tative from each district , and then working parties could be formed in each parish . It was absolutely essential that they should see that this work was properly arranged and carried out . She thought a committee of nine ladies , one from each district , would be sufficient . The county , committee would he meeting on the following day , and this district committee could meet early next week , when she would lay before the com- mittee what the county committee decided to do . The reason they had called them to- gether that morning was to form this strong working committee from the various districts . What they desired to do was to keep their heads cool . Some people said women could not do that , but that was a libel upon their sex . She hoped they would be prosperous , for the very first claim upon them was to do what they could for the men who had gone to fight for them at the front ( ap- plause ) . Commander HUDSON then addressed the meeting , saving the Red Cross Society had heen at work for five years , and to - day they had a fairly efficient organisation . This war had been sprung suddenly upon them , and now they wanted to do what they could for those who had gone forth to fight their battles ( applause ) . They had got their county committee and they had got their different committees in the country distriots . They had received their orders from headquarters . These orders were explained by Commander Hudson , but the first thing they had got to do was to col- lect their money . They had a certain amount to their credit in London , but that money would be used for this county in this time of war . He was therefore going to ask them to send in their money , to the local secretary . For all money received an official receipt would be given . A long list of articles of clothing , etc. , was issued as to what was likely to be wanted , but the committee would tell them exactly what they would be re- quired to do ( applause ) . Mrs. FOSTER announced that she had received several letters from ladies who were unable to attend , including one from Mrs. Percy Clive , who wrote saying that Capt . Clive had joined his regiment , and that she would be pleased to do all she could to help the work of the Red Cross Society . She was also going to open a hospital for the wounded officers at Whitfield ( lond applause ) . Other ladies who had written were Mrs. Hoskins , Mrs. Briscoe , Mrs. W. Pilkington , Miss Wilton , Mrs. Deakin , and Mrs. Dixon . Mrs. Lee , their secretary , was unfortunately detained in France , but she hoped to be home as soon as possible . A committee comprising ladies chosen from Ross , Goodrich , Weston , Foy , Bridstow , Walford , and Upton Bishop was then elected and they will meet to - day ( Thursday ) . The meeting closed with special prayers for war time , offered by the Rector , and the singing of " God save the King . " Hark ! The Bugle Is Calling .

The members of B Company assembled at their headquarters , the Crown and Sceptre , on Wednesday evening just before six o'clock , where a large crowd had gathered to bid adieu to them before leaving for Pembroke Dock . The actual number on parade was 92 . Capt . R. GREATREX YATES said before they marched off he would like to thank the non - commissioned officers and men for the splendid way they had answered to the call for mobilisation . Not only had the , men on active service at the present time turned up readily , but a great many of the men who had served the company many years ago , had come forward and joined the company at their own free wills at a time when the country needed them ( applause ) . The editor attack was defeated . " From these they retired to occupy posi- tions around capable of defence . A German The following note issued last night by the War Office through the Press Bureau , puts the position in a nutshell : " At this period of hostilities no news of any importance can be expected . The Press Association is informed that the Belgian Legation has received no telegrams during the past 24 hours . An officer of the Belgian General Staff , who has arrived from Brussels , says that in view of the fact that an important hattle may be taking place is the neighbourhood of Liege , the greatest secrecy will now be observed , and that even at the War Office in Brussels the exact mate ments of the troops are not known . The only general information is that the main Bel gian army has been advancing from Louvais to Liege in connection with French advance . Beyond this no details will be allowed to be made public . " Any movements of the British Army , or of those of the nations with which it is co - operating ; can naturally not be divulged , and over the proceedings of the enemy lies the fog of war .
