■ In asking Miss Anderson, of New Zealand, to distribute the prizes at tho Harrow Junior Associates' Victoria League gathering on September 9, Mr. Hallarn' mentioned the work done by the Victoria League; in setting up clubs in London for men of the Overseas Forces. There would soon ho sis of these clubs, including one for wives of overseas officers, and only that morning lie had received a letter from Miss Macdonald, who directed the work of the 1100 Canadian Nursing Sisters, who had come over to nurse the wounded, in which she said, "I consider tho Victoria League does moro to foster true imperialism than ! all other individuals and organisations in existence." Harrow school children hadi sent useful and generous contributions and one of the clubs had a "Harrow Room" furnished" by members of the Harrow branch. To illustrate the tie of Empire, Miss Anderson said that the very latest of our dependencies (annexed by New Zealand 1 in 1901), the very small island of Niue, one of tho Cook Islands, had sent £131 and offered 200 men out of a population of 4000, and tTio offer had been accepted. Hands were joined for Auld' Lange Sync, and then Mr. Audrey, of Bridge School, proposed three cheers for those who had. organised the very interesting and delightful afternoon. More choors were given for the Russian guests, for an officer of the Warspite and two South African officers who wore present, for New Zealand and for Miss Anderson.
