FROM THE WAIRARAPA.

£1000 FOR REGIMENTAL FUNDS./ The executive of the Wairorapa War Fund passed a resolution at their'meeting on Tuesday afternoon asking tie people of the Wairara-pa'to contribute as liberally as possible to the Mayor's relief funds in the .various towns. ■ A circular was • received* from. ' the conference of officers, in the .camp . at Palmerston North donations towards a "Regimental Fund." The ; Regimental Fiuid,, which is sanotioned. and advocated by General Godley and the Army Medical-.Department, is similar to the Regimental Fund of a regiment in the Imperial Army, , aid will bo used to provide: (1) Special' medical attention; (2) special comforts for the sick; (3) extra clpthes or food if necessary; (4) comforts in camp or on board ship; (5) financial assistance to men invalided or separated from their regiments. The executive decided to donate £1000 to the fund. The Ballanco Dairy Company has donated £50 towards/the Empire' Fund. CIFTS FOR ARTILLERYMEN. The public donations to £ho Defence Forces-. since, the war-broke out have been generous, but one section, the [Artillerymen, has,_ it is stated, been neglected. This is accounted for by the fact'that tho Artillery Brigade is a national unit} drawn from all , over tho Dominion, while the other units are essentially local ones. ,Tho following gifts would prove highly acceptable to the Artillery Brigade;— One typewriter! a gramaphone with selections, periodicals of all 'descriptions, .pairs of boots, four bicycles, field-glasses, etc. Cakes and buns and pipo covors to prevent .ashes being blown about when smoking will also be thankfully receiv- . ed.. by the I'ield Artillery Brigade,- com-* prising some 700 men. All gifts sent to Murray, Roberts, and Co., Wellington, will be forwarded to the ship. "THE DOMINION" LISTS. The following are tho donations to The Dominions War Fund lists to date:— . WAR FUND.
