Will the British, furi--0 ously pressed, with their backs to the 0 English Channel “muddle through” in 0 their traditional manner? 0 The indomintab.l'e grit of the British, 0 and the French flair for a sudden 0 attacking thrust, it is profoundly 0 hoped will not only stem the enemy U but force them to retreat. U There is one thing certain, the 0 casualties will bo enormous, and to--0 day and to-morrow the public of the city will be given thc ; r opportunity of 6 supporting in a most generous manner 0 the Sick and Wounded Appeal. This is 0 a time for action, substantial and ® immediate, and the £250,000 asked for ® means an average contribution from ® each individual (young and o4d) of ® 3s 4d, or 13s 4d from each household. ® Patriotic citizens in large numbers ® have kindly undertaken the work of ® collecting from house-to-house, and ® welling badges on the street. The ® business community has stepped up to ® the crisis magnificently, for the latest return locally is £SOOO, and it is believed the public generally will give in a similar substant ; al manner. Even thowe who have already contributed are y asked to compliment and encourage the q collectors by buying a badge so that q “ everyone wearing a badge” will 0 characterise the streets to-day. Buy a _ badge and wear a badge.
