LADY LIVERPOOL FUND.

NEW ZEALANDERS AT THE FRONT. Mr J. L. Hay, writing from France under date September 19, gives a graphic, description of the conditions under which the men were placed. He saw it had been raining hard all day, and it was bitterly cold. With the never-ending stream of traffic the roads soon became converted into an almost impassable quagmire, and it was not difficult to imagine the condition of things in the trenches. "The tragedy of the thing is," adds Mr Hay, "that little can be done to make the lot of the men a little brighter, but at a time like this a few comforts are specially welcome. It is here at the front that the men want something to supplement their ordinary rations." Advice has been received by the Lady Liverpool Committee from other reliable sources to the effect that comforts for the men in the lighting line are more urgently required than for any other purpose. The Lady Liverpool Committee is doing good work in this direction, and any gifts, comforts, etc., will be gladly received.
