The shortage of warehouse space in Engiand has to be seen to be apprecâ€" iated. Work is carried on under conâ€" ditions which we would call utterly impossible at home. It is < not the fault of the Overseas Office who havt searched earnestly and long for spact â€"â€"it is due to this tiny country being in the war and to the same timeée, acting as the storehouse for millions of men of the Allied Nations on Active seryâ€" vice, and for affiliated services suct as the Red Cross Societies. In view 0. this and until the present congestior has been relieved by substantial ship: ments to the liberated countries, which may ecme at any time, we must shi, only those articles NOW required.
