Show WILL TIT OUT HOSPITAL SHIP. American Ladies In England to Raise the Sum of 8,000. London, Oct. . 23,-rLady' Randolph Churchill and Mrs. Arthur Paget are organizing a fund among American ladies- in England with the intention to completely equip a hospital ship for service on the South African coast at a cost of 8,000. Lady Curzon and Mrs, Bradley-Martin have been invited to join the committee. The Australians are much exercised at the reports that the imperial government gov-ernment has ordered canned meat in America, though the war office had promised to conserve Australian inter ests. Those in t'he oest position to Judge, however, predict the packers of the United States will secure large orders or-ders as the British colonies are unable to supply a tithe of the quantity required re-quired if the campaign continues long. W'hat is believed to have been, an attempt at-tempt to wreck military trains bound from Pembroke Dock to Southampton was discovered yesterday evening. Five chains were- placed on the tracks near Swansea. Two trains laden with troops passed soon after their discovery. discov-ery. . |
