THE Honora.ry Treasurer has now the pleasure of submitting the fifth List of Contributiollll to the above Fund containing all subscriptions up to the middle of September, from Units ai home and abroad. It will be noticed that many of these are renewed or additional donations, and several Units have generously promised gra.n.ts to be repeated monthly, O'r as their general fuuds permit. .

The Honorary Treasurer trusts that all Officers Commanding will impress upon the Committees of their Regimental Institutes where such exist, the necessity of supporting this Fund for the benefit of their comrades in captivity in.erder that the regula.r supply of parcels of food may be kept up. The large increase in the numbar of prisoners, now exceeding 1,100, and in the cost of provisions. entails a very large monthly expenditure, which has hithertO' been met by the Corps itself and by nUJll6rO'us friends.

If subscriptions are not maintained an appea.l for outsid-e assistance wnI soon be unavoidable. 124, Victoria Street, S. W. E. M. WILSON, Lie'Ut.-Oolemel, .
