THE BYRON CENTENARY AND THE GREEK REFUGEES.
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—Y011 were good enough to publish last month a letter signed by a number of eminent literary men appealing for funds with which to establish a Byron Memorial. feeding centre among the live hundred thousand-refugees in Greece. I am glad to be able to inform you that my Committee has been able to send a first instalment of £1,000 to Greece with which a centre will he established where 1,000 refugees will be fed for four months. While I would- ask you to allow me to thank those of your readers who have been good enough to respond to this appeal, I nevertheless hope that the inci- dence of the actual centenary- this week will induce those who have not yet responded to help us to extend the scope of this centre to a number more commensurate with the honour in which the name of Lord Byron is held by the Greek people. I shall be most happy to receive further donations at the offices of the Imperial War Relief Fund, General Buildings, Aldwych, W.C. 2.—I am, Sir, &c.,
