SOLDIERS STRANDED IN LONDON.

O- - A YhM. G. A. worker who drives his own motorcar night after night for tho aid of tho soldiers stranded in London, lias just brought up the total of those whom lie has helped in this manner to 12,000. During tho last six months 70), 000 men have been motored by Y. M.O. A. workers ' across Loudon at night who would otherwise have been stranded, and during one week, 10,7-14 men stayed at tho various London huts of the Association, whoso work is proved by these statistics to bo more valuable than over. When one thinks that one's own boy is possibly being taken care of away over there in London by Y. M.C. A. workers, it firings home to one the really valuable service this organisation is rendering to our soldiers. The Y.M. O. A. has so thoroughly {.‘proved itelf that the Red Triangle Day appeal for warwork funds is bound to receive the generous support of everyone with relatives or friends at the trout. The amount asked for £IOO, ! ’UO, \vhich works out at about £ 1 per soldier for a year.—Little enough to give, iu ail conscience, to the rum who are braving discomforts, and denth itself, in the light for civilisation.
