The Professional Classes War Relief Council, whose pro- visional Chairman
is Major Leonard Darwin, whose honorary secretaries are Mr. Theodore Chambers, Mr. Alexander Goddard, and Mrs. A. 0. Gotto, and whose offices are at 13 and 14 Prince's Gate, have sent us papers setting forth their aims and objects. These are to deal with the distress among the professional classes which is being caused by the war. Incomes, as they tell us, will be greatly reduced, and in some cases will cease entirely. The object of the Council is to discover such cases and render what help is possible, for they realize that professional men and women do not find it easy to ask for charity. The work is an admirable one, and we very sincerely hope that it will gain the support which it certainly deserves. Those who still have something to sub- scribe to war funds could not do better than help Major Darwin and his colleagues in this matter.
