The "Dominion," October 9th, 1914— - THIS is what ENGLAND is # ,n 2 {or HER . Soldiers at the Front. Many of the newspapers in England have opened Subscription Lists, to provide comforts for the British Troops at the Firing Line whilst on the Continent of Europe, one of the principal items suggested being the supply of Tobacco and Cigarettes. Arrangements were ||| made with Messrs. W. D. and H. 0. Wills to supply these articles. wJSMma ■ Messrs. Wills patriotically offered to supply THREE CASTLES Cigarettes and CAPSTAN Tobacco at approximately 2d. per packet f||| of 10 Cigarettes aid 2]sd. per oz. Tobacco. This' is the approximate cost without duty, and Messrs. Wills will deliver the goods on Ip' i<o\s the Continent duty free. Further, Messrs. Wills offer to extend I this offer to the Expeditionary Forces from the Oversea Dominions 1 iiinpiritri n'i Jm\ providing subscriptions were forthcoming from the countries con- • A movement is afloat to take advantage of thk offer on ■ behalf W J of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. Major-General Godley !<F /r !$! rr has extended his approval for the distribution of tobacco to our g§p| i\ - bJ I J|j V soldiers whilst at the Front, and Mr. James Allen, Minister-of De- mar?'' - I , fence, has also -expressed his grateful acceptance of Messrs. .Willis's <^p offer; it now only remains for the people of New Zealand to sub--1 scribe funds to ensure their contingent having at least the benefit' V& | |Wof a "pipe" during the ardous times they will have to face on the mm. Ji wii ii Continent of Europe at the Firing. Line. ( W 1 Itsi IfeA Is' ; lp^ Subscriptions of any amount, however small, will be gratefully .. • received at the "Dominion" Office, Wellington, or Cheques only may be sent to any of the undermentioned gentlemen. All do- | nations will be acknowledged through the columns of the "Do- i minion" newspaper daily. . 1 HERE is an opportunity for NEW ZEALAND to do the same.

' The* Newspapers advise that the New Zealand Troops are now in Egypt. Messrs. Wills have promised 'to make a 'distribu- ,| tion of Tobacco or Cigarettes in that country, or if the New Zealand Contingent is later on sent to France to the firing;line;: to ../. continue the distribution in France as long as' the funds last. _ With; tlie funds already in hand it is proposed to make a distribution to the Troops as a New Year Gift. It therefore remains with the ; people of New Zealand to arrange for the continuance of the distribution .of Tobacco and Cigarettes for periods after that date.^ Cabled instructions have already been sent Messrs. Wills to distribute lQOOlbs. weight of CAPSTAN Tobacco' to the /New,: Zealand Troops in Egypt as a New Year Gift on January Ist from the Funds in hand, which will barely cover the cost ,of this Tobacco.

I have just received a packet of good English Mixture and it is a.real treat to be able (to smoke and enjoy it. Not 'one of the English Tommies here in France can enjoy the French Tobacco or., Cigarettes are, as we say,, "vile," and it is only necessity and the absence of good ; English j "baccy" that makes us'resort to it. It's a nerve tonic "to have a real good smoke out here —#nd a- real comforter. (Extract "Weekly Despatch," October 11, 1914.) D. L. WHITEHEAD,. ;No. 27166, Royal Engineers.
