NAVY LEAGUE WAR FUND APPEAL.

For the men of the British Navy and tho merchantmen attached and their dependents. AFTER THE WAR, and for years to come THERE WILL BE MANY BEREAVED HOMES THROUGHOUT THE BRITISH ISLES. Amidst tho rejoicing on tho proclamation of peace these max be. forgotten. NEVER LET IT BE SAID THAT THE PEOPLE OF THIS DOMINION FORGOT THEIR DUTY to tho 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 Now Zealand has paid infinitely little, it behoves everyone to contribute to this worthy fund. IS ANY PRICE TOO GREAT TO PAY FOR TILE IMMUNITY FROM ATTACK AND LOSS OF OUR COMMERCE. Undoubtedly we shall never repay our obligations in full, but we can, to the best of our ability, help to make tbo lives of the widows and children of 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 be gratefully acknowledged. ALEX. 'BOYLE, President.
