(Per Favour of the Southland Times.) Before our departure we are endeavouring to raise a special fund for an object which we are assured tvill appeal to all, and especially to those who have relations and friends enrolled in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. It is evident that the large majority of sick and AAiiunded Now Zealanders must toe drafted home through the medium of tlie Noav Zealand Field Ambulance, and it '8 f s ~ sential that there must too a fund available to assist invalids on their return journey to the dominion. Extra comforts in the Avay of supplies, clothes, improved accommodation or other essentials to ensure favourable and fairly

com fort a toh conditions on thi- return journey. Avill , toe often urgently needed and Avil! in no small way contribute to tlie AA*el i - being aud ultimate recovery of invalided troopers. it is hoped that avc -vill be able to raise a .sum nf fithh’, which wi’l be strictly allocated to the object in view under tlie control of the medical Officers attached to Hie Field Ambulance Corps. Colonel Be'gg, of Wellington, and Major Mn-'ray. of Auckland. are now raising funds in their re->.p.-.eiive centres for this purpose. We feel sure that (lie generosity and public spirit that has always ,-liara-t erisi-d tlie dwellers, of (dago and Southland will lie again manifested in the support ot a, scheme upon A-.liich til*- healMi and lives of Tlie nice mid-r our charge may iu no ..mall degree depend. - We have the ’Jinniir to be yours sincerely.
