LADY LIVERPOOL DEPOT NOTES.

COMFORTS FOR MEN ON SER. VICE.—Not TRE.NCH CO.VIFOIUK but still comtorts for our soldiers abroad will be wanted for some time to conic. AVo cannot desert tho men directly their arduous warfare is end. od, and so the president of our fuiwl asKs all sympathisers and branches to hold together for the purpose of. continuing in the New Year tho work of sending parcels to the troops under any circumstances in which they maj be in service. The very latest advice is that our soldiers were marching on to Cologne. In German territory tUe Christmas gifts will be enjoyed by our New Zealand soldiers, and possibly many more shipments will follow up the men to the enemy territory. If the Hun has hoarded "food for himself he will take much precaution against our troops partaking of his stores, ami much satisfaction will bo felt from the assurance of officers abroad that t&« parcels will go forward with tho troops. Branches are asked to accept this notice of the re-opeumg of the depot for funds and goods on February Srd 1919. ' ™
