ANZAC DAY.

Sir,Rp Anzac celebrations, which I understand are to take place on the after-* noon of Thursday. * u.'

Cannot something bo done there? Thero may be many obstacles in the way 0' dc.ng something in this latter respeu for some time to come. Still I do but maito these suggestions in the hope that something of a more tangible nature may be organised for, at any rate, the first anniversary of Anzac Day,. Bombay. C.
