FAR-EAST RELIEF FUND.
The joint council of the Order of St. John and New Zealand Red Cross Society, at its last meeting, decided to recall all subscription lists circularised to city councils, boroughs, counties, town boards, fire boards, electric power boards, hospital boards and harbour boards. The appeal has resulted in the sum of £7,118 16s 3d, being raised to date, and it is hopefully expected that when all the subscription lists are returned that the objective of £IO,OOO will be achieved. The chairman of the joint relief fund committee (Sir James Elliott) wishes to express to all subscribers, the joint committee’s appreciation of the response on behalf of the sufferers in the Far East.

A medical committee acting on behalf of the joint council has appointed Dr Robert B. Grey, of Auckland, and Dr Hector C. Tremewan, of Wellington, for service under tlie joint council and medical equipment including instruments and drugs to the approximate value of £4OO was supplied to these two gentlemen for immediate use on their arrival in China. Dr Grey arrived at Hong Kong on Saturday, February 5, and Dr Tremewan left New Zealand on Saturday, February 12.'
