EDITORIAL NOTES. 



The war continues its weary and disastrous course 

 c ' dragging at each remove a lengthening chain " of horror, 

 and has already taken its toll of life and health in some 

 one dear to every member of the Society. Probably every 

 one of us has some near relative engaged in the Titanic 

 struggle for decency and humanity. All the sons of our 

 President and of our Hon. Secretary are in the Avar and 

 each of these members has had at least one son severely 

 wcunded. The Rev. E. H. Hawkins is another member 

 whose sons have all answered the call, one of them having 

 already given his life for the cause, while another (Captain 

 Gerald Hawkins) is home on leave with his fourth wound 

 stripe. Of actual members of the Society engaged in the 

 war we know of Captain J. R. Roberts, Captain S. P. 

 Rowlands, R.A.M.C, and Captain T. Stansfield, R.A.M.C, 

 all of whom are, or have been, contributors to the Gazette. 

 There are probably others whose names have not been 

 brought to our notice. The names of Captain Gerald 

 Hawkins and Captain T. Stansfield (probably also inter 

 alia) have been " mentioned in despatches."
