The members of the "Lyric" Dance Orchestra, will contribute their share to Earl Haig's Fund by playing free of charge at the Victoria Recreation Club Fancy dress to-night.
A cable from Monte Video announces the arrival there of the rebel Brazilian dreadnought "Sao Paulo."
It is good that in the perhaps wider appeal which Earl Haig's fund may make, the claims have not been forgotten of St. Dunstan's to which Hongkong, in conjunction with the rest of the Empire; owes so great a debt of gratitude for its fine work in con- nection with the training and life care of men'blinded in war. The inquiring for terms abroad for a devotion of the collections at loan of one hundred and thirty to-day's Cathedral service to that million yen for reconstruction great institution will meet with purposes. the approval of all who know any- thing about the splendid work
bren admitted to St.
Dunstan's care and training, and that up to the end of the period covered by the report, there were nearly eighty men undergoing or awaiting vacancies for training. These form an aftermath which few of us could have foreseen- the men who have lost their sight since the War as the direct result of their war-service. It is to be feured that this sad toll is not yet ended, and it is good to know that these post-war blinded men from the 30,350 who were discharged from the Imperial Forces with damaged sight can count upon St. Dunstan's help if, and when, the final curtain of darkness falls upon them.
