#= Capital. NJ

London.-Owing a dept of 100000,
toward which but $4,000 has been
s-nt c. promised, Lord Kilmorey,
chairman of the Charing Cross hos
pital, declares the institution has had
10 close 81 beds and unless further
funds are forthcoming will have to
close 81 more, reducing 1t to the
limit for claim on the kings fund.
The next step, he says, will be the
closing Of the hospital, "a metropoli-
tan disaster" In appealing for large
donations he says that the interest on
the debt and the falling off in SUBJ
scriptions, cause. a yearly deficit Of
$4,000. The council is using the
strictest economy In management.
Charing Cross is by no means the
only hospital in this financial plight.

ent of the Middlesex hospital, said:
