AN APPEAL.
With the permission of His Excellency the Viceroy I appeal to the residents of the United Provinces, of all ranks and creeds, to support the Imperial Indian Relief Fund. The object of the fund, as the Viceroy's message has explained, is to help all those who will suffer from the results, direct or indirect, of the war in which England is now engaged; and particularly to alleviate the distress of the families and depend. ants of the troops who are leaving India to defend the Empire across the seas.
Every form of voluntary work in aid of the Fund is welcome. I should be glad to see a local committee formed in every part of the province, every district, every city and town to collect subscriptions, and to explain to the charitable public the purposes for which the money is being raised. If the chairman or secretary of each committee will send to me tho names of subscribers and an account of the amounts subscribed, I will gee that they are duly published and promptly laid before His Excellency the Viceroy.
To avoid complications of accounts, I would ask that all subscriptions be paid into some branch of the Bank of Bengal or of the Alliance Bank of Simla, to the credit of the Genera) Fund; there will be no separate provincial fand.
I rely with the utmost confidence on the patriotism and traditional generosity of the people of the United Provinces.
