Somewhat over a vear ago, as President of the Canadian P {riotie Fund, 1 made an appeal to the people of the Donminion for funds to assist the families of the gallant men who wer voing to the front. Though ant'cipating à generous response, | was hardiv prepared for the magnificent manner in which the eall was met. Monies have poured into the treasurr 0 Fund until the total contributions have reached and exe six million dollars.

qured. This would, however, only mea: #1 ner heaa of the

population for the people of Canada, and it is little indeed to

ask of those Who remain at home in comparison with the sacritice in life and limb of those who are fighting in defence of the Nation.

this further appeal to enable the Patriotie Fund to continue

ts Splendid work during 1916 and take care of the fainilies of

those who are fighting for their Sovereign, the Empire, and the Dominion, on the battle-fields of Europe and on the High

Neas.
