and secured to the public. Besides purchasing the camp and the 

 surrounding woods, Mr. Wills has provided a fund for the maintenance 

 of the site in its present natural state ; and it is understood that the

White Barrow, near Tilshead, Wilts., one of the chief long barrows 

 of the county, has been acquired by the National Trust, the owner of 

 the property, Mrs. Cunnington, of Devizes, herself contributing part of
