"Apropos shall l tell you little story
of one of our members? She is MIS-
Knocker. one of the English nurses
who received the order of Leopold
from the King of Belgium for her work
with DR.. Munro's Ambulance Corps.
Incidentally, she is an expert motor
cyclist. and a few weeks ago she cycled
down to London to offer her services
as d dispatch carrier to the war Of
flee, which promptly refused them
But the joke of it is this, that on the
way down from Salisbury she stopped
and 'mended up three male dispatch
riders who had broken down and had
not the least idea of how to repair their
machines, and on the way back in the
Edgware road she came to the rescue
of fourth, whose terminal was dls-
connected with his sparkling plug, and
put him right in no time.
How did we begin with the Volunteer
Reserve? Well. We began with big
meeting at the Mansion House with the
lord mayor himself In the chair. 1t
was an enthusiastic meeting. at which
sufficient funds were subscribed to en-
able us to make a beginning. and since
then we have secured as patrons such
influential men and women as Lady
French, Lord and Lady Charles Beres-
ford Lady Wolseley. the daughter of our
great field marshal. Lady Jellicoe and
Lady Beatty. the wives of our two naval
heroes. the last of whom is. of course,
an American; Lady Cunard. another
countrywoman of yours; Lord Desbor-
ough, Lord and Lady Robert Cecil. the
Earl of Meath and ever SO many others.
Meanwhile we are growing more
rapidly than is at all convenient We
have five companies of 500 each drilling
regularly in London. and branches 2t

on, Gateshead. Liverpool and ever SO
many other places. Letters of inquiry
come in at the rate of a hundred or

What the continuance of this pestilence
will mean to the warning nations, already

ina giped. In France, Germany, Russia
and Belgium. and also in Italy and
Switzerland. the disease has gained such
a foothold that 1t is economically impos-
