As the King, in his recent message to Lord. Lansdowne, said "In Flanders, France, Italy and Malta, in Palestine, Macedonia and Egypt, Mesopotamia and East Africa, and in Russia, Roumania and Siberis the joint societies have rolioved the suffering, healed the sick and saved valuable lives for the service of the
Empire in war and peace. They have also been able to give welcome assistance to our Allies, and, in making provision for the sick and wounded, have not forgotten the prisoners of war whose privations they have done much to alleviate. But it must be remembered that prace crab. when declared will not bring a cessation of the work of the hospitals and indeed the demand on the resources' of the Red Cross most inevitably continue for some time after bostilities have ended." It is our
CALENDAR duty to-day to see that the Colony sends a large contribution to encourage pot only those who are so freely devoting their time and energy to this noble cause, will keep you in remembrance all but also to cheer the sick and wounded to whom the Red Cross is a symbol for the alleviation of pain and a guarantee if practical sympathy. His Majesty, "impressed by the vast obligations which must still fall on the joint societies" forwarded £10,000 as his gift to the Our Day" fund, but it should be remembered that the rate of expenditure is not leas than £3 a minute. Surely it is not too much to expect that this Colony should shoulder" the burden for two days. Last year Hongkong subscribed $110,415. We ou ht not to fall below that record. After all, for the

The least we can do is to thrust pur hands deeply into our pockets for "Our Day," and thus prove to those at Home, that we are with them heart and soul. There is only one slogan for
