To the Editor of the "Nonmm-Cruxa Day News."
Sir,—On behalf of the destitute refugees at present in Shanghai perhaps I may be permitted to give thanks for the vers sympathetic article on their needs which—up-pears in your paper this morning.
At the same time I would like my own behalf to disclaim a ye large proportion of the merit whi is attached in the article to ims name, and to say that most of the credit is due to the many ladies who are so generous! giving their daily aid. It is only through the assistance of these twice daily—between the ard hours of 12 and 2 and 5.30 and 7.30—that we are able to isfy the claims of the hungry, and to furnish clothing to those whose few poor garments are in sufficient for winter needs.
Of the work of our men volunteers I will not speak in detail, fearing to encroach too greatly on your space: it is sufficient to say that they too are rendering i help.
Tam, ete, S. W. Worze.
