The temporary slackening in our weekly receipts seems to us to have occurred sooner than should have been the case. The mildness of the winter in England is no real measure of, climatic conditions in several of the theatres of war, and the continuance of severe weather there, accompanied by low temperature, prompts us to remind supporters that we cannot yet reduce the winter scale of packing and despatching. We still have very considerable demands on hand from the European theatres of war for warm scarves and knitted socks. We can usefully dispose of large further quantities of such comforts,
