NAVY LEAGUE WAR FUND APPEAL.

For the men of the British Navy and the merchantmen attached and their dependents. AFTER THE WAR, and for ypars to come, THERE WILL BE MAN£ BEREAVED HOMES THROUGHOUT THE BRITISH ISLES. Amidst the rejoicing on tho proclamation of peace these may be forgotten. NEVER LET. IT BE SAID THAT THE PEOPLE OF THIS DOMINION FORGOT THEIR DUTY to the dependents of the gallant men who saved them from the unspeakable horrors that happened in Belgium and Northern France. Surely, AFTER THE PROTECTION WE HAVE RECEIVED FROM THE BRITISH NAVY, towards which New Zealand has paid infinitely little, it behoves everyone, to contribute to_ this worthy fund. IS ANY PRICE TOO GREAT TO PAY FOR THE IMMUNITY FROM ATTACK AND LOSS OF OUR COMMERCE? Undoubtedly wo shall never -repay our obligations in full, but we can, to the best of our ability, help to make the lives of the widows and children ol naval men lost during the war as happy and comfortable as possible. The fund is administered by a responsible and representative committee in London, and donations sent to the office of the Navy League, 119, Worcester Street; Christchurch, will bo gratefully acknowledged. ALEX. BOYLE, .' President.
