So much then for the past, what of the future? Thefe is a great movement throughout our Empire to make up for the heavy loss caused by the war by increased efficiency and strenuous work, and a formula has been evolved which I think is a very true one that in proportion to the harmony in the organisation so Is the profit in the product. Is it not sa? It is true of industrial organi: sations, and if I may say so it is true of your work here. Your Ex- cellency has recently opened the Union building, and I would sag gest that that institution may be symbolical of our University. If we all work together with the deter mination to make this University the power for good that it deserves to be, and that it must be if it is to carry out the design of its fourdere, we cannot fail.

SITUATION SIMPLY TERRIBLE."

A later letter written on behalf

of the Officer in Charge of the

Medical Stores Department of the British Military Mission at Viadive- stock acknowledging the arrival of four cases of 'goods, says: The situation regarding refugees, in Siberia is simply terrible. They are coming into all our up the line towns, and even here in thousands star- ving, destitute of clothing, and with na quarters to go to. It is beyond words to try to describe their terri ble plight. Women carrying children in their arms, with, very little clothing, excepting a shawl to wrap them in both mother and child hungry, emaciated and freezing. If you can possibly get your good Society to try and send all the warm clothing, even worn clothing, they possibly can, there is surely a terri ble need for it here, and they will be doing an exceptional and noble work. We are hoping that your good Society will be able to help us with clothing, and we assure you that you will be doing a work that for genuine, absolute, pathetic appeal, nothing could be greater.”

On top of all this, there is a great shortage of food and fuel, and last but not least, disease is rife.

People living in warm houses cannot realise what this Winter will be like to the poor people of this country. Remember you cannot buy anything in the way of clothing, and to make matters worse; the Rouble has dropped until it is now 250 to the dollar. That is not so bad for the person who has the dollars to buy raubles with, but you can understand

what it means to the Russian who is being part in Roubles at the old rate, and having to buy food and fuel with the prices sky-high.

Sugar is almost impossible to get. and it costs. when you can get it, from 75 to 100 roubles a pound; also a great shortage of tea, and as the Wister goes on, things will be worse.
