'SmI had the opportunity 9 few days' ago of Inspecting the activities of The Salvation Army in company with ils indefatigable Chief, Brigadier Morris, and as at this time The Army is conducting its Annual drive for funds with which to carry on its enelicent work of caring for those of all creeds and nationalities who" find themselves "up against it" it may not be out of place if I record [my impressions for the satisfaction of those who have already subscribed Jand to encourage those who have not yet made up their minds to give the [Sorely needed financial help.
I visited the Refugee camps in: Route de Sieyes, Chino-Tung University and Ferry Road, the special hospital for under-nourished children in Connaught Road (entirely support ea by Madame Kung), the Men's Hostel at Yang Terrace and the Shelter at Amoy Road. Emeiency of management coupled with scrupulous economy are apparent in all centres, T'do not propose to weary readers with a mass of Mgures but 1 would record that there are 13,180 Chinese refugees in the 3 Camps, who are elvan two adequate meals per day with soya bean milk Cwhich 1 tasted and found very palatable) for the children and expectant mothers, A medical cline is in operation ai all camps. and elementary education is provided for the children and the cost of all this works out at the astonishing figure of $2.68 per head per month.
'At the Hostel in Yang Terrace men receive board and lodging mostly' en-rely free, whilst an average of 200. foreigners per week are supplied with vouchers which enable them to obtain necessary household supplies and some are financially helped with their rent, At Amoy Road an average of 75 men are housed whilst meals are sup plied at an infinitesimal cost to all those who apply. T saw food in pre-aration for the evening meal and can truthfully say it was most apbetising and nourishing and cost only ten cents per head, Everything is conducted with the aim of helping without loss of dignity. and morale to those helped and at the same time all possible efforts are made to enable the employable to find employment and to get them on their Yegs again, T cordially commend the appeal to all those who can possibly spare any money. I prefer to remain anonymous but the Editor is at liberty disclose my identity "to anyone interested. These comments are made without any suggestion on the part of the Army and it was at my own quest that T'made the tour, Aw ov aEsIoEXY oF SuANCHAt, Shanghai, Mar 19.
