(Signed) ANNIE LAWLEY,

Him. Secretary,

The deportation of the men of Belgium is another phaac These men will, of} coarse, never return if Germany can provant it, and so will constitute an effective increase in the male population. But they will either voluntarily er through compulsion form some sort of liaison with the surplus women of Germany and produce offspring which in twenty years will be available fodder for powder. As the excess of Germany's female population is now great and will be still greater after the war, this will prove also a ready means for providing før this surplus.

I beg to thank you on my own half for the kind congratulations We next find the German reférences f your Committee upon the honour to the so-called lateral marriages. There that I have received from Hisero hundreds of thousands of young women in Germany, capabig of bearing Majesty the King, I feel that it is children, who are at present unattached because of the absence of their hestands un honour that must be shared by all at the Front. To German efficiency this the members of the Guild, who now, is a waste of human material. God would not have endowed women with I am proud to say, muher over such an importacs function if it had 60,000.-Youry, truly,

A man, married or unmarried-it is imanterial only li̟ married he must get his wife's permission-ia encouraged by the Government to form a temporary union with one of the neglected women eaters(who must also obtain her husband's consent) whose consort is at war. This alliance is to last until a child is born. when it automatically is to cease, the child being either retained by the mother or sent to an institution to be reared that he may form a goit in the fature pacional defense. is an admirable German scheme, quite typical of the German mind which suffers agony at the right of anything idle that is susceptible of use.

That the work done by the Guild is very much needs and appreciated, the following extructs from

Messrs. CROSSE & BLACKWELL much regret that for the first time for a hundred years war conditions prevent many of their products being shipped to India. They much appreciate, the letters they are receiving, and in reply would state that it is fully recognised here that under the circumstances of life in India the absence of English delicacies and foods is a very real hardship It is one of the Anglo-Indians' "little" bits" in the war.

Messrs. CROSSE & BLACKWELL will take care that not a day shall be lost in forwarding supplies when a return to more normal conditions permits. In the meantime they trust that those who have been accustomed to rely on their products will be good enough to accept this explanation.
