HY worry? The War's over1 So it is. We have all heard that remark more than once, but there is much to "Worry abou yet. We're not out of the game simply because the Huns have laid down their guns. What you gave on Heather Day and at the Fair is surely not the heat of your sacrifice! There are thousings and thusands of brave men condemned to pass the rest of them hves in misery unless we rally to the aid of the great work of healing. Thanks to the Army and Navy, we have had, and will continue to have, a very comfortable time in Hongkong. Iris our duty then to "worry," in order that the maimed and sick. the human wreckage of the great war of Liberty, may be restored.

Every one of us here owes a great debt to the men who fought and bled in the war- a debt which we can never repay.

But we can show our appreciation by giving our last cent to the great work of mercy in which so many noble men and women are engaged home. Money is urgently needed Shall we grudge it now that the war is won ? Never let it be sand that our patriotism and honour petered out with the echo of the last shot. Don't say that you put every cent you had into Heather Day and M Andrew's Fair. The War Band Houwing is for the same cause, and its success must be written down in the annals of the Colony's giving as another endeavour to show tangible appreciation of the brilliant achieve- ments, on the battlefield and on the North Sea, of the bravest boys on earth.
