WAR HOSPITAL
TORONTO MAN’S GENEROUS GIFT. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY. December 21. A munificent gift by a citizen of Toronto has enabled Canada to meet the cost of its first war hospital being erected in Buckinghamshire. Hearing that 150.000 dollars would provide the entire cost, this private citizen, who remains anonymous, sent a cheque for the whole amount. The gift was made to the Toronto branch of Ihe Red Cros Society, where 805,000 dollars were raised in the first fortnight of a Dominion-wide campaign to provide 3,000.000 dollars for Red Cross work. By the end of last month the fund, which was inaugurated on November 12, had already reached 2,988.799 dollars.
