1 is unfortunate, but. perhaps, unavoidable that two campaigns for funds should be carried jon simultaneously in Shanghai, for the Chinese YMCA. and the Salvation Army. The former asking for $50,000 and the latter hopes to mise $20,000 for its work during. the year. While, of course, this journal does not care 10 choose between iwo such deserving endeavours, 10 be hoped that neither of them will suffer rom the activities of the other. The Salvatio Army, however, has en especial appeal as in the leatholicity of its work, it gives assistance to Both Chinese and foreign destitutes. As. wi an article on the subject, appear Sunday's issue, th ing yeoman service refugee camps, the Discharged Prisoners' Aid Department, the Men's Hostel in Yang Terrace, Weihaiwei Road, the Foreign Men's shelter 1180 Amoy Road, and its evangelical department. The officers responsible for these activities bring a wealth of experience to the work, and ft is certain that the money collected will be spent in the best ways to ensure that poverty stricken recipients get" the fullest possible benefit, The fact that 100 foreign families are being cared for, with regard to rent, light, heat, food, clothing and medical attention gives some idea' of the enormous amount of poverty in Holt's Wharf at Pootung 's now connected by telephone with Shanghai.
