For Irish Prisoners of War. In the early pari of 1915 llio Irish Women's Association was formed for the purpose of providing food, and, when necessary, clothing lor the prisoners of' war'of "Irish regiments, and also for the purpose of sending comforts to the Irish regiments at tho front. The asso-ciation-was. lent two rooms in G5 Victoria Streot, London, by tho kindness of the I'Veu : trado Union, out later on His Majesty tho'King, hearing that tho accommodation was- inadequate, lent tho association rooms in Kensington Palace to carry on tho work for his Irish regiment. In Juno last tho association began sending out fortnightly parcels to the prisoners, each parcel consisting' of tivo boxes, containing a lib. loaf of ..Dujon bread, lib. tin of beef or mutton, lib. tin of vegetables, lib. tin of milk, soap, compressed soup, "Worcester sauce, lib. tin of fish, lib. tin of jam or dripping, Jib. of tea and lib. sugar, one tin of cocoa or fruit, ooft'ee, oheese, or margarine, mustard, salt, 50 cigarettes or tobacco. On receipt of tho sum of six shillings fortnightly, tho association is very glad to pack and send this parcel (fortnightly) to any prisoner of war of any of the Irish regiments, giving the soldior the name and address of the donor and asking him to reply direct.. Almost always is addeu to tho parcol a pair of socks, a pipe, a brush, or something that they think the men would like, warm socks and flannel shirts. are very useful to the prisoners. The association has been given by tho Regimental authorities the names of over 2(i00 prisoners of war of Irish regiments, aim the number will certainly bo increased as time goes on. The association hesitated before appealing to the public, especially as they were helped liy the regiments themselves and by friends of the different regiments in England, as well a 6 by those in Ireiund, but without continued and increasing support, the association would not be able to carry on its work,, for Ireland is unquestionably the poorest country in the Kingdom. The appeal to assist this fund, which has been forwarded to the Mayoress (Mrs. Luke), is made to all who love Ireland and who know and appreciate the bravery and patriotism ol lier soldiers, since it is for those who, having eagerly responded to the Empire's call, are now suffering acutely in. the enemy's country powerless to help themselves. ■ . Many famous names are down among the list of patronesses, and the president of the association is Lady MacDonnell, of Swinford. The Executive Committee is formed by the following-.—Mrs. John Boland, Mrs. Crilly, Miss Fitzgerald, Miss Margaret Gougk, Lady (Edward) Henry, Miss K. M'Donnell, Miss Reta Oldham, Mrs. Lough (lion, treasurer), the Hon. Anne MacDonnell (lion, treasurer). All communications should be addressed to the last-named, Kensington Palace, London, W.

A concert, organised by the Wellington Catholic Club, is to be given in the Town Hall on Wednesday 'evening lor the benefit of the Navy League's Fund for Sailors' Dependants. Contributing to the programme are some of' Wellington's leading talent, and an enjoyable, evening' may be looked for with the added satis-, faction that a good .cause.is being helped thereby., Their Excellencies the- Governor -and the Countess of Liverpool are giving their patronage and intend being present at the concert. The following visitors are at present staying at Barrett's Hotel Mr .: and-Jlrs. A. Deahl, Auckland; Mr. E. Casey, Auckland; Mr. R. W.

Morgan, Dunedin; Mr. and Mrs. Benny, Auckland; Mr. Brown, Levin; Mr,, and Mrs. C., ..Bores, Christehu rch. 1 On Thursday evening an entertainment is to be given in the big chamber of the Town Hall, in aid of the Camp Entertainment Fund. An excellent' programme has been arranged, the first part being contributed,by a number of the soldiers in camp, among whom is to be found some very good talent. - The Trentham Camp Band will assist. The second part will be contributed by pupils .from the Marist Brothers' School at Newtown; among whom i.re to be found some clever performers. ' Tlio Camp Entertainment. Fund has been or-. . ga'nised for the purpose of providing a constant supply of good entertainments for the men in camp, the attendant difficulty, however, being the; means of transporting the assisting performers to the camp and back again. Private motors are not always available, arid several times cars have had to be hired. So far, however, the'-committee has not failed to provide four excellent concerts each week, and with a sum of money set aside for motor hire, a great deal of difficulty will be obviated. Their Excellencies the Governor and the Countess of Liverpool are giving their patronage, also Cabinet Ministers, and the Camp Commandant,.' as well as the Mayor and Mayoress. Popular prices have been fixed, and scats may be' booked at the Bristol. As the concert is for tlie purpose of adding a little pleasure to the 'lifb of the men in camp, .and so relieving something of the monotony attendant to camp, it .is hoped there will bo a good attendance of the public. .
