BRITISH WOMEN'S PATRIOTIC LEAGUE.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR:1
SIE,—A League under the above title was formed last November to concentrate and combine all patriotic efforts on the part of the women of this great country. The League numbers over four hundred women up to date, and others are joining daily. Practical patriotism being their aim, they have already raised funds for a prize at Bisley this summer of the value of an annuity for life of 25 for men of the Territorial Forces who are under thirty years of age, earning an income of less than £130 per annum, and of good character. The League has also offered two prizes of the value of two guineas and one guinea to the Boy Scouts' organisation for the beat essay on scouting, to be written by September 1st. The annual subscription is half-a-crown, and all moneys, after defraying costs of printing and postage, are devoted to the furtherance of our home defences. All women are earnestly requested to join the League, further particulars of which may be obtained from the honorary secretary, Mrs. Douglas Cooper, 22 Buckingham Gate, S.W.—I am, Vice-President B.W.P.L.
