AID IS ASKED FOR
BRITISH SOLDIERS
The News la In receipt of a
letter from Richard Harding
Davis, asking that the following
appeal bo given spaco in The
Nows:
"In behalf of the soldiers and
sailors at the front and in the
hospitals, The British American
War Relief Fund Issues tills ap
peal to those, who in this strug
gle sympathize with Great
Britain.
"They are lighting not only
for the British Empire but also
for tho liberation of Belgium.
"The men in the trenches are
urgently in need of the follow
ing:Socks (sizes 10 to 11)
colored handkerchiefs, shirts,
sweaters, drawers, and for the
Hospitals: Old linen, bandages,
antiseptic gauze, anaesthetics,
antitoxins, and iodine.
"Any cash donations will be
spent In this country in the pur
chase of the above. Further
money contributions are' most
earnestly solicited. We parti
cularly appeal to large manu
facturing and industrial houses
for gifts in kind.
"The British American War
Relief Fund, of 200 Fifth Avenue
New York, was organized last
October for the purpose of pro
viding -warm clothing, comforts
and necessities for British Sol
diers nd sailors on active ser
vice and in the hospitals. The
Fund has already received and
despatched over 200,000 articles
to the troops. These include
purchases made in this country
with money contributed. Each
parcel contains a gift-card with
the name and address of the
sender. The Cause is a most
worthy one. Will you help? A
dollar will make some poor sol
dier's lot a little easier to bear.
The assured appreciation of the
British Soldier who is the recip
ient more than repays the giver."

proximately three and one-half
million and the latter about half
a million. South America ranks
next in the quality of ties from
the United States, using over
3uo,ooo. The countries of
Europe evidently prefer their
own ties, for France Is tho only
nation who takes from us an
amount worthy of record, and
that amount is only 592 ties,
exported (over five million,) the
State of Washington alone furn
ished nearly half a million.
In the matter of American
shingles used, Canada and Mex
ico again take the lead, the for
mer importing from the United
States nearly 34,000,000 and the
latter over 2,000,000, valued re
spectively at $70,000, and $6,7G5.
Australia and the Oceanic Is
lands ranked next in quality of
shingles from the United States,
nearly 5,000,000 being shipped
to that part of the world.
But when It comes to the use
of wood pulp from the United
States, Europe springs into pro
minence with over eighteen mil
lion pounds to her credit, rank
ing next to Canada, who leads
with approximately twenty mil
lion pounds.
The total amount of box
shooks exported from the United
States was 11,150,000. Approx
imately two and one-half million
of these shooks went to Cuba
and nearly two million to Mexico
Another two million went to the
Straits Settlements in the East
Indies. The bulk of the shooks
sent to Oceanlca (271,000) were
taken by Australia and Tasman
ia. Of the shooks sent to Europe
Italy took over 473,000, or more
than half. Of those sent to Soiith
America, Argentine took more
than half, or 425,000. Although
Canda imported nearly 900,000
shooks from the United States,
