of the gallant men who were going to the front Though anticipating a generous response I was hardly prepared for the magnificent manner in which the call was met Monies have poured into the treasury of the Fund until the total contributions have reached and exceeded six million dollars Large however as this sum appears it has not greatly exceeded current demands and if peace were declared in theimmediate future the entire surplus en hand would be required before all the men of the Expeditionary Force again return home Today there are families comprising it is estimated individuals dependent upon the Patriotic Fund With further recruiting the demands upon the Fund will with each succeeding month continue to grow so that it is estimated that should the War continue during 1916 a sum amounting to some and probably more will be required This would however only mean per head of the population for the people of Canada and it is little indeed to ask of those who remain at home in com parison with the sacrifice in life and limb of those who are fighting in defence of the Nation In spite of all the various calls that have been made for funds to aid our soldiers and sailors and the magnificent response that has been made in each and every case I still feel assured that the warm hearts of all Canadians will respond to this further appeal to enable the Patriotic Fund to continue its splendid work during 1916 and take care of the families of tliose who are fighting for their Sovereign the Empire and the Dominion on the battlefields of Europe and on the High Seas i
