APPEAL FOR FUNDS ID ESTABLISH HOME
 FOR SAILORS
LADY OlMsDALE AND LORD BEREsFoRD ASK SUB scRIPTIONS FOR THIS MOST WORTHY OBJECT; SEND SUB sCRIPTIONs DIRECT TO ENG LAND

The Review is in receipt of a letter
 direct from the DOwager Lady Dims dale of London, and one from Lord Beresford, admiral of the British navy, in which they appeal for funds for the Ladies' Guild of the British and For eign Sailors Society with which to build a great sailors home in the Port of London. It is a most worthy cause. That such a home is badly needed and richly deserved goes without question. Subscriptions and all communications regarding this proposed home should be sent direct to Lady Dimsdale, pres ident of the Ladies' Guild, Wakefield House. 32 Creapside. London. Lady Dimsdale's letter in full follows:
 We are making an appeal to wom- en who owe so much Q the protection afforded by cur splendid Sailors to unite in an effort to raise a fund for the building of a great Sailors Home and Boys Hotel in the Port of London, as an expression of gratitude to those splendid men of both sea services who have lost their lives in the service of their country and to those who are still facing the perils of mines and sub marines.
 'Tt is proposed that each country subscribing should be represented in the building by having it's own section, SO that it will be definitely recorded that the Home is provided by women from all parts of the world
 "The women of Great Britain and her overseas dominicns invite their sisters in America to cooperate with them in this scheme, for it has been the privilege of the British & Foreign Sailors Society to extend a helping hand to their sons and brothers in our institutes during the war. In the case of the "Tuscania," we received. thrOugh the American ambassador in Lcndon, the warmest thanks of the government and army of the United States, for the help rendered.
 "The need for this Home is great now, but will be infinitely greater in the days to come. Our sailors come from all parts of the world, at all hours of the day and night often finding the only places available for their accom- modaticn very undesirable ones, where temptations aSsall them at eV- cry point, and yet they are the men who have stood between us and the fate of Belgium and France, and other nations.
 "It will indeed be a proud privilege for women to feeB that they have been able to erect this Home to stand as a lasting memorial of their gratitude to these gallant men, who for the sake Of tbe women. the homes and liberty of the world, have never counted the cost. but have one and all proved them. selves more than worthy of the proud traditions of the past.
 "A large sum of money will he re- quired. and the more we are able to collect, the more adequate the Home VII he for the needs of tn men and boys.'

TWO REGIMENTS WILL LEAVE SHORTLY
 FOR KEARNY
so20 AND sOsTH, RECENTLY TRANSFERRED FROM CAVALRY TO ARTILLERY EXPECT TO EN- TRAIN FROM DOUGLAS THIS WEEK FOR CALIFORNIA POST

DOUGLAS. Aug. 1O.-The 30Sth and SO2nd national army regiments. recent Iy transferred from the cavalry to the artillery branch of service, have re- ceived orders to go to Camp Kearny, near San Diego, and the two organ izations are expected to leave Doug las during the next week. The 3OSth regiment was organized here last March and the 3O2nd was organized some time later. The former regi- ment is commanded by Capt Hugh D. Berkeley and the latter by Capt George B. Pritchard. It is likely that these two commanders will re main with their regiments in the ar tillery service, but there has been no announcement as to this.
 The officers and men of both or ganiZations have won the esteem of the people of Douglas They are 8 manly lot and will give a good ac- count of themselves wherever the fortunes of war may place them When Lieut.. Col J. J. Boniface, wno this week was promoted to the ~ank of colonel and ordered to Camp Meade, Md, arrived here last Feb ruary to take up the preliminary work of organizing the 30Sth, al ef- fort was made to have it composed of Arizona recruits, but the war depart ment refused to give the necessary permission. On account of this move the regiment was given the name of "AriZona's Own" which it still bears. The city of Douglas raised fund of S25O for the cOlOrs for the legi- ment and the flags were presented at a public meeting in the city park.
 Nothing is known as to whether any troops will be sent here to repiace these two regiments.
