Sir,—In your issue of the 25th instant you furnish your readers under "Notes & Comments' with some particulars relating to the administration of the Prince of Wales's Fund.

The Fund reached £6,975,125 and the administration expenses in connexion therewith £15,000.

The Fund—at least 67} per cent.

it—was doled out as under:—

Soldiers & Sailors Families Association 2,000,000 Soldiers & Sailors Help Society 245,000 Royal Patriotic Fund Corporation 410,000 Central Committee on Women's Employment Relief of Professional Classes Relief of East Coast Towns Deficits of War Hospitals Local Relief Committees 166,000 73,000 637,000 849,684

£4,701,490

There is a sum of £2,273,634 unaccounted for in the foregoing and presumably the greater part of the £15,000 administration expenses went in doling that little lot out. What would be interesting to learn would be the expenses charged or incurred by the above Societies and Committees in doling out their little wads am, etc., ENGLISHMAN FROM MissovuRt.
