All who appreciate the magnificent work of the Navy and the Mercantile Marine are asked to contribute so that these brave fellows and their families may not become destitute when shipwreck or the perils of the seas wreak loss upon them.

From Yokchama and Hong Kong, Bombay, Vancouver, Naples, Port Said, Halifex and Archangel, theseâ€" sailor men «and their ships are the allied lines of communication; to destroy them is to cut the jugular vein of our war. It‘s a curious thing in our history, recurring through every stage, that this strange breed of highâ€"spirited, hardâ€"handed, farâ€"sighted, cautious, cunning, silent British sailors have been a rock on whicil our enemies have been broken.
