"War Widows, -

Mr. Hayes Fuber, presiding at a meeting of the Royal Patriotic Fund Corporation recently, said that in the early days of the war the Government did not expect to have more than 3,00J widows created by this war. The highest estimate was that made by Mr. Fisher himself, who thought that 30,000 would be nearer the correct number. When Lord Kitchener was consulted, he directed the authorities to make provision for at least 50,000 widows. The recent Naval victory in the North Sea had added 1,550 widows to the long list. Up to Juns 14th this year, 39,042 widows, 83,389 obildren and 24,059 other dependents, whonecases had been investigated, had been awarded grants amounting to #450,000. Wolf! Surpassed.
