New Soldiers' Widows' Fund.—lt appears from a recent Parliamentary return that there is in the hands of the War Office an unappropriated bulance of £25,000, the residue of large sums of money which in the course of the last six years have reached the War Office from India and the colonies, being the accumulations from deceased soldiers' effects. It is, we find, not intended that the above balance should be idle in the War Office books. After every effort had been made to find the " next of kin" of soldiers who have died intestate, it is contemplated to make use of the money thus unclaimed to form the nucleus of a charitable fund, which shall have for its object the amelioration'of the distress of soldiers' widows and children.
