E. Alderson, t While, this is true enough the sum which the Government is able to devoto to such purposes, large as it may appear in the tomp is smail-indcod when it comes to be divided among the multitude who have claims upon it. There would appearing over the verandah rail. Ic be no "Earl Hato's Fund," if the need for it did not exist. There are thousands of widows and orphans in need of the additional assistance such a Fund is able to provide, and these, as our "correspon dent pat it," can be regarded as a trust left to us by those who were killed": while as regards the large number of men permanently disabled by the war we would quote "Sympathiser" again in saying that "presumably the Government or somebody clothes them and feeds them as they live, but assistance is also ren- dered to them by Earl Hard's Fund and a proportion of the money remitted from Hongkong will he devoted either to their support, or to procuring for them the comforts and attention they need in their crippled state, such as tobacco, etc, which will convey to them a message of sympathy, and also the pleasant informa tion that though they are out of sight,

& they are not out of mind." The third class of men who are assisted out of the Fund are the large number of ex-Service: men who are seeking employment in vain. In this connection we need only recall the cable sent to Hongkong by Field Marshal Earl HAIG at the beginning of the week calling attention to the fact that unemployment is causing severe distress amongst ex-Servicemen. Whilst express- ing gratitude for the splendid response by the people of the Empire to the appeal last year, the Earl earnestly hopes that still greater success will attend the effort this year. We may take this telegram as expressing the Field Marshal's own conviction of the urgent need of more funds, and we trust to-day's collections in the Colony will prove a worthy response to the appeal.
