"The Society is now campaign- ing for £5,000,000,", Mr. Cruger said. "About £2,500,000 is the object of a special campaign for the relief of air raid victims."

Three Englishmen who fought in the last war have given up their businesses in New York o work night and day in the office of the Society there. They are Mr. Robert W. Appleby, the vice- . ad- president, Mr. Cecil Baker, be"ministrative director,. and
