We are glad to record and endorse the appeal made
by Mr. Brodrick and Lord Roberts on behalf of the Reservists and their wives. Besides recommending the claims of Reservists to employers of labour, they issue a special appeal on behalf of the soldiers' wives, for whom the War Employment Bureau, organised by the liberality of the late Mr. Lawson Johnston, has for the last three years provided a large amount of needle. work. The orders from the Royal Army Clothing Depart- ment having now greatly fallen off, fresh sources of supply are urgently needed ; and Mr. Brodrick and Lord Roberts appeal to all buyers of clothing—Boards of Guardians, charitable institutions, schools, &c.—to place their contracts, as far as convenient, with the War Employment Bureau, whose offices are at 42 Shoe Lane, E.C.
