TO HELP LOCATE MONEY SENT

London. Nov. Zl.--A Parliamentary paper reIotinr

for the relief of the Beers. Great Britain had beon
spending 100000 monthly since the close Of the
war in maintaining the burgher camps as organi

balance thereof remaining and invites General
Bothas cooperation I'm finding the persons to whom
the money intrusted and in recovering the
balance. which, he says. Great Britain is prepared
to add TO the sums already provided for the relief
OF the burghers.

Chamberlain made his speech of November he
understood that the $5,OooOoo was partial COM

reverses. Frederic NJ VermorclIen, an artist
who has a studio at No - West Thirty-thrd-
