BELGIAN-SERBIAN WOUNDED .RELIEF SOCIETY, WANGANUI. Prom reports received'from timo to time, it has dawned union tile members of tho above-mentioned society that the general public have'a ratlier hazy idea of what the society is for, and what work is done by them. The society was | started 60 that funds could be raised and sent to tho Belgian military hospitals iii-the.North of France, to provide i comforts for the wounded Belgian soldiers. That is, tho money is used entirely for tho Belgian soldiers (who are fighting for tho Allies), and not one penny goes to the civilian population of Belgium. To a lairge extent, tho civilian people aro helped by the Americans, but tho Belgian soldiers have none of their own peoplo who are able to help them; and, acting on advice re-' ceived from one of tho Belgian military hospitals, the Eolsiim Wounded Relief Society was started in Wanganui for that purpose. The .members of the society knows that the British and Colonial soldiers are looked after by tho people of their own countries— the Y.M.C.A., Salvation Army, Eed Cross Society, and Church Army being examples of the good work being done—and knowing the position of the poor. Belgian soldiers, and believing that "charity should not end at homo," this society decided to do what they ooulo to help this wounded Belgians who had been Fighting in tho Allied cause. Information received lately points out that its Germany has had possession ,of Belgium for four years now, she is striving by every possible mean's to Germnniso tho Belgian people, and if the pressure is kept \ip long enough, it is bound to make its effect felt._ .To counteract this pressure, the British--people are striving to keep up the spirit of tho Belgians, so as to keep them from giving way to German influence; and we know (hat the only way to do I his is lo show a.s much kindness as possible to those who nre helping us, viz., tho Belgian soldiers. The Wanganui secretary was recently speaking to a (returned Australian soldier (;•• : »11-known person -in tho Wanganui i. -ict), and he said that from his personal knowledge and observations we could not do too much for (ho poor Belgian soldeirs. Of course, it must ibo admitted that I here aro shirkers amongst the Belgians, but there is notmuch strange in that, as wo know there are plenty of shirkers everywhere. Wo have a number ovon in Now Zealand. Tho thing wo want tn gat iu our minds is that all the Belgians avo not. "rotters," as witness the number who aro fighting far tho Allies, therefore,- surely we can do a little for those who have proved themselves true and bravo soldiers and provide some few comforts for tho sick and wounded soldiers of Belgium. Our readers aro asked (o remember the Society raises money to provide comforts for tho Belgian Military Hospitals in the North of France—not ono penny of it goes to the civilian population of Belgium A Streot and Stall Day is to bo held on Wednesday, Oclober 30. Donations gratefully received by the Hon. Sec, E. A. Wotton.—(Published by Arrangement.)
