TRAVELLERS' AID SOCIETY AND THE WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC.
[To THE EDITOR OP THE "SPECTATOR."] "Stu,—In view of the fact that the campaign against the iniquities of the white slave traffic is now being waged with increased vigour, we have thought it desirable to have special warning placards printed in English, French, and German, for exhibition in places where they will be seen by younr, women. I shall therefore be grateful if you will allow me to draw the attention of your readers to this, as we are anxious they should be widely circulated throughout the length and breadth of the land; The notices are 20 by 15 inches in size, and are mounted on stiff card- board or framed and glazed. We are charging 9d. for the former and 2s. 9d. for the latter, but we are quite willing to supply them gratis if preferred. They can be bad on application to our office sit a Baker Street, London, W.
. May I earnestly appeal to clergymen and ministers of all denominations, Sunday School superintendents, leaders of Girls' Clubs and Sisterhoods, heads of business firms where girls are employed, and proprietors of domestic agencies to take one or more of these notices to place in some prominent position ? They will thus be assisting us in our work of protecting women and girls from the moral perils to which they are likely to be exposed as they travel from place to place or are seeking situations. - I am glad to say that already a gratifying response has been made to this request, presented individually, and many placards are now being displayed on various Church premises, in drapery establishments at the West End, and on the platforms of railway stations.
I may mention that the Society has also branches- at Southampton, Liverpool, Hull, Bristol, and Birmingham, and a local committee in Edinburgh.—I am, Sir, &a.,
