CHINA'S NEED

SALVATION ARMY WORK Moved by the sufferings of the Chinese people General Evangeline B6oth has issued a call to the Army's forces in Great Britain, America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa to give financial assistance for. the programme of relief which Army officers are carrying on in the war areas. International headquarters has already given an advance grant of £1000, and it is hoped that much more will t. subscribed to supplement this. "We shall remain in Canton doing all we can to serve the people," says Colonel Rolfe, the Army's leader in South China. Ten thousand people are being fed daily in Tientsin, where Major and Mrs. Walker are in charge. Brigadier Ludbrook, the general secretary for North China, sends an urgent appeal for help for'the stricken people. In Peking relief work is being carried out from nine corps, thousands being fed daily. In keeping with its traditions of rendering aid to the needy of every race, class, ■ and creed, the Army feels the havoc in the Far East and the suffering into which innocent men, women, and children are being plunged to be a call to every effort of which it is capable. .
