PART OF NATIONAL SCHEME.
By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—CopyrightReceived July 22, 9 p.m. London, July 21
A scheme is afoot for the formation of women’s committees throughout the Empire with the object of raising £2,000.000 with which to build a beautife 1 Gothic shrine as part of the elaborate Empire War Memorial at Westminster Cathedral. The appeal will be made only to women, and an individual subscription will be limited to 10a. The effort will be spread over ten years. The design suggested is a shrine in the form of a Greek cross, consisting of seventy-eight chapels, each containing stained glass windows symbolical of strategic and dramatic phrases of war, and the parts Britain, the Allies and the Dominions played therein. The completion of the shrine will occupy rourteen years. The Dominions’ offices in London have arranged to successfully display a model of the shrine.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
