Troopship Amusement
| To the Editor"]
Sir,—A troopship Y.M.C.A. Secretary writes that the men are so fond of ■chess that the limited number o' sets on board were in constant use. There is a distinct shortage of chess sets, and we find it impossible to obtain any in the shops, so that we are unable to meet the demand by the soldiers. We will be glad, therefore, if you will place the matter before your readers, many of whom doubtless have sets which are not greatly used, if at all. If anyone who can spare a set of chess men, with or without board, will kindly send it to the Y.M.C.A. National Headquarters, Bakers' Buildings, Featherston stroet, Wellington, it will be put on a troopship to help relieve the monotony of the long sea voyage. Thanking you and your readers, in anticipation. Yours faithfully, E. C. BROWNELL, General National' Secretary)' Y.M.C.A., Wellington
