RELIEF FOR CHINA

[To-the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.] SIR,—May I beg the hospitality of your columns for an appeal on behalf of the Clothing and Comforts Committee of the Relief of Distress in China (Lord Mayor's Fund) ?

Blankets, rugs, towels for babies, linen and bandages for hospitals, warm clothing for men, women and children, knitted garments of all kinds, are desperately needed by the refugees and wounded.

Weekly shipments are going off to China for the relief of distress amongst Chinese, British and others. Money is also needed for medical aid of every kind and food for the starving refugees.

Please give all you can now. Mark all goods " For China " —and send to the address below. More helpers are needed to pack and sort. This would hasten the departure of bales ; 119 have already been shipped.—Yours faithfully, G. DOROTHEA LAYTON (Lady Layton), 121 Westbourne Terrace, W. Chairman.
