The October lists tire now in general circulation, and contributions are again cordially invited for a fund which gives so much pleasure to the men on active service. It is hoped to reach the £'l,ooo murk by the close of the year. Below appears another selection of acknowledgments from the New Zealand men in France and Egypt. These cards speak for themselves, and fully justify this useful fund which gives so much real comfort and satisfaction to those roughing it abroad for the common weal.
