Recognise tho excellent work your are doing for our men." Dr. J. R. Mott:—"American associations wish every success to their New Zealand colleagues." „,,„■, Sir Arthur Yapp, British Y.M.C.A. Headquarters, London:—"National Council and staff send congratulations on New Zealand's work for her sons in the field, in London, and on Salisbury Plain. In France your Red Triangle workers doing magnificent service.". Canadian National Headquarters, Toronto:—"Best \yislics campaign. Deep interest shown in work here." Australia Headquarters, London, per H. A. Wheeler:—"New Zealand work abroad deserves unstinted support. Bost wishes."

Thanks From ths Trenches. The English mail just to hand brought a big sheaf of acknowledgments from all ranks of the New Zealand Army on active service of Christmas cheer provided by the Y.M.C.A. The- following letter to ono of the Y.M.C.A. field secretaries is typical of most of those received:—"l thank you and the people assisting you very much for the parcel' of games, etc., that was delivered' to us on Sunday last. My comrades all join with me in tlioir thanks for tho good things provided, and we all hope that your work will continue, to prosper and be of preat help to tho lads who arc (Witing tlieir country's battles. We have, had the Lest Christmas since leaving home." The Terrible Tank, Tho Ited Triangle Tank, which is to cause a sensation to-day, was given a

preliminary canter in the early hours of this morning and was found to be equal to any emergency. In spite of many suggestions to the contrary, it is a real tank, a life-size representation of those in action on tho Western front. A hint, however,, to all good citizens will not ho amiss. If you should see a haystack or a house bearing down upon you, do not jump to the conclusion that the Germans have won the war Mid have camouflaged the landscape. Think of the tank. Too much has been said about it. Henceforth, until it appears, let's just think about it. The tank is timed to commence its active duties at 12.15 p.m. prompt, but prior to starting, the christening will take place, when -the- donor of the largest cheque received before 11 a.m. to-day will be called upon to perform the ceremony.

Collect Your Own Donation. The war has called up mort of tho active young men of the community, and young women havo stepped into their places to keep ihe Empire p<;:ng. One result of this has been that the Red Triangle' Committee has limii unablo to get enough canvfcsnefs to personally approach evory householder for a subscription to the Red Inanye. funds. The Citizens' Committee asl's that every person slr.ill be 'ris or hf>i own collector and pay in their subscriptions at any of the pay-in ollices mentioned below: Horace Baker and Co., near Bank of ftew Zealand; Mr. Luke's late committee room, opposite Kirkcaldie's; S. and W. Mackay, Cuba Street; Norman Aitken, Courtenay Place; Y.M.0.A., Upper Willis Street; and Central Committee Boom, next to H D. Bennett and Co., Willie Street. Full acknowledgment of all contributions will be made in these offices.

Bands to Play, The Trentham Camp Band and Featlierston Trumpet Band,.as well as tho Patriotic Society's Band, will play in the streets to-day. At 1.30 p.m. one of these bands will usher ( iu an interesting auction, one of many, at the Union Bank comer. The articles sold will be seven pipes, won by Island Bay fishermen at, the gala on Saturday in the tug-of-war, the first prize in tho treasure hunt, which was not found; and a dog and some books of English history. Roll up. I

Singers and Auctioneers. At various stages of to-day's street demonstration the voices of singers and auctioneers may clash, but it will be easy to distinguish them. The singers will bo from Fullers' Theatres and Vaudeville, Ltd., and the auctioneers will be commercial travellers. ineir avocations will call them in various directions, and only when the tates decree' will they coincide and clash, but tho clash will bo n'ore amusing than otherwise. Sold Their Dog. There is an old saw which says that "example "is better than precept," it is better, in other words, to demonstrate than to preach. That is what two Masterton lads, Noel and Athol Kilgour, have dono. They had a.dog, a really fine dog; in fact, there wasn t another one like it in tho Wairarapa. rkt it was wortli 305., bo they sold it and put the money in the Red Triangle Pay funds—they could not put the dog there, so they put his equivalent into Red Triangle stock. These lads seem to bo of the right material. \

Red Triangle Letters.and Badges. The rather wise suggestion has been • made that every person in "Wellington . who has received letters from tho J front, written on Red Trianele notepaper should buy and wear a Red Trianglo badge to-day. Thero is poewc justico in this—somebody bought the I notepapcr these folk received, and the Y.M. gave it to their boy in France or Egypt or elsewhere. Therefore_ let them spend something in the direction of providing more notepaper for the boys, also coffee and cocoa and other comforts. There should bo a rush on tho badges to-dny.

Flippant Donkeys. From the c-levation of a lorry a pair of flippant donkeys will waq t-he-r ears and tiieir tails at tho crowd to-:lay. The antics of these donkeys are those which were taught them by -.he dancing Dervishes of Palestine, tfhe.re the Mounted Rifles of New Zealand and the Light Horse of Australia are fighting to-day. Don't miss seeing th« donkeys and giving them a donation. They are wortli it.
