MARYLEBONE ROAD, LONDON, N.W. 
Patrons 1 THE QUEEN and QUEEN ALEXANDRA. 
1,800 Patients are admitted into the 
Wards every year, and over 2,000 
others are attended and nursed in their 
own homes. 
SINCE the outbreak of 
War over 400 Wives 
of our Soldiers and Sailors 
have been granted free ad- 
mission, and 700 others have 
been granted attendance in 
their own homes, free of 
charge. Many Belgian and 
other War Refugees are re- 
ceiving similar benefits. 
upwards of £7,600 is required 
annually for the maintenance of the HospitaL 
Last year the Income fell short or 
the Expenditure by £1,497. 
The Committee earnestly appeal for 
Annual Subscriptions and Donations. 
ARTHUR WATTS, Secretary. 
Serbian Relief Fund. 
This fund, of which the Queen is Patroness, was 
originated soon after the beginning of the war by Mr, 
Bertram Christian and Dr. Seton Watson, the latter 
of whom is one of the first authorities on Serbia and 
the Southern Slav races, while Mr. Christian was 
already the chairman of the Macedonian Relief Fund. 
The committee formed to administer the fund is com- 
posed of members who are either experts in Balkan 
affairs or in relief work. Thus Sir Edward Boyle, 
the first hon. treasurer of the fund, has lon^ 
been hon. secretary of the Balkan Committee, and 
other members have in similar fashion been connected 
with Balkan problems in many ways. Interest in Serbia 
and the gallantry of its people has been so well displayed 
in this country that the fund has been able to send out 
five fully-equipped hospital units to Serbia, each con- 
sisting of about fifty persons, forming a fully qualified 
surgical, medical, and nursing staff. The first of these 
units, under Lady Paget, played an effective part in 
the suppression of the outbreak of typhus in Serbia. 
The committee of the fund are now facing the 
problem of organising general relief on a large scale, 
under the superintendence of Sir Ralph Paget, through- 
out those parts of the country which have been ravaged 
^the war. The specially destitute condition of the 
,..!r f.'S.fhUdren whose fathers have been killed in the 
and a children's branch '6i*hR. notice of the committee, 
establish, in co-operation with Madame Vsa.started to 
of the Serbian Prime Minister, an orphanage in Serbia", 
the money for this being largely raised by British 
children. ' The committee's assistance is given, whether 
in the form of material or medical aid, through British 
hands, and in such a manner as to ensure that therd 
shall be no possibility of overlapping. ' But the needs of 
this country are so great, and available resources so 
small, that there is more fear of an absolute lack of 
relief than of overlapping in the work. The Hon, 
Treasurer of the fund will gratefully acknowledge 
donations sent to 5, Cromwell Road, London, S.W. 
Gifts in kind are gladly received by Mr. Carrington- 
Wilde and Mr. Seton-Watson, at the same address. The 
needs of Serbia are as pressing as they are little known, 
and the fund is well deserving of support. 
Systematic Distribution. 
A voluntary organisation well worthy of. support is 
the War Supplies Clearing House, established in 
November of last year to obviate overlapping and to 
bring under one central control the collection and dis- 
tribution of gifts for those fighting for civilisation and 
for those wounded. The Clearing House is recognised 
by the Board of Trade, and has free transit over the rail- 
ways to the British Expeditionary Force and to ports for 
the Navy. Being in constant touch with the requirements 
of the various bodies appealing, the Clearing House is 
able to divert to the best channel any article received. 
Gifts for the troops and contributions for the carrying on 
of the work of the Clearing House may be sent to the 
hon. secretary at no, George Street, Croydon. 
The Church Army. 
The work of the Church Arm)-^^ in connection with 
the war is so well known that description of it is need- 
less. The highest naval and military authorities have 
expressed appreciation of the work, which has been or 
inestimable benefit to our sailors and soldiers, both at 
home and on active service. Few organisations are 
better known than this, and none have surpassed it in 
the work done with the means at disposal — work which 
the men. themselves appreciate to the full. The vast 
extent of the work calls for ever-increasing support, and 
contributions on behalf of fictlvc service work will b© 
gratefully received by the hon. secretary at Head- 
quarters, Bryanston Street, Marble Arch, London, W*
