BRITISH. CHARITABLE FUND IN PARIS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
shall be much obliged if you will allow
me, through your columns, to answer numerous in-
quiries by stating that Messrs. Coutts, Strand, have
cc nsentecc to receive subscriptions in aid of
the British Charitable Fund, and will place them to
the credit of the Hon. Alan Herbert, who has been
long resident in Paris, and now acts as honorary
treasurer of the fund. The object of this fund is to
enable the poorer English--particularly women—
who have had employment in Paris to return to
England. Perhaps I may be allowed to add that,
without wishing to diminish from the subscriptions
that are freely flowing in in aid of the wounded of
both nations, we' may properly consider the hard, and
in too many cases the helpless condition of those
who, having no means of laying in provisions in an-
ticipation of a siege, are required at a few days'
notice to leave the town, but are wholly unable to
comply with the requisition.—l have the honour to
be, sir, your obedient servant,

MB. TILLETT M.P., ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS.—In
the course of an address to his constituents at Norwich on
Thursday evening, Mr. Tillett, M. P. , dwelt at some length
on the desirability of England maintaining her attitude of
neutrality during the present war. Her present military
force was hot sufficient to enable her to take part in a
European war; on the other hand, our navy was corn-
petetent to deal with the united navies of the world—that
of the United States excepted. He hoped the navy would
continue to be maintained in thorough efficiency. Re-
ferring to his brief Parliamentery career, Mr. Tillett
stated that he had found Mr. Gladstone a high-minded
and conscientious statesman; and, although on one or
two points he had felt bound to vote against the Govern-
ment, he had generally given them a hearty support.
