We would call attention to Captoin Ian Fraser's letter to-day on the birthday anniversary of St Dunstan's Hostel for Blinded Soldiers and Sailors and his hope that our readers will remember what is commonly associated with Uirthdays. His letter is a little Tate, but the needs of St. Dunstan's ere constant and we are sure our readers will not fail to repend to the appeal. Since the Hostel was founded it has been the care of the "North-China Daily News" and in the past ten years our readers have given us the pleasure of sending home to it over £23,000, thereby far outstripping' the contributions of any other city outside Britain. Through the agency of the Hostel, hundreds of men, who appeared doomed to per-Fetual darkness and uselessness, have been enabled, if not to regain their sight, at least to become self-supporting, interested in life and cheerful."
But the work does not cease with the cessation of war. As Captain Fraser reminds us, the Hostel has made itself responsible for the men it has taken under its charge and though many are fully their own living, it stands specially warm corner in its heart for St, Dunstan's and we confidently' appeal to our readers to enable us to send it a birthday Contributions should be to the Editor, "N.C. Daily News,' The Bund, and we would as subscribers would kindly write "St. Dunstan's" on the corner of the envelope.
