FUNDS FOR ALLIES.
COLLECTION IN CUBA. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, Aug. 8. The frequent manifestations of sympathy and understanding which Britain’s fight for the freedom of nations within a peaceful international order evoke in all parts of the Americas always excite the interest of the British public. The latest is contained in reports of the formation in Havana of a committee of influential citizens and also United States residents which is collecting funds for the Allied Ucd Cross and other war charities. It is intended to devote to this purpose the proceeds of the premiere of the film “Gone With the Wind” which is to be shown in Havana next month. News of this movement has been received with grateful pleasure m Loudon, where its generosity is as highly appreciated as the goodwill which inspires it.
