[9076] I fear the editorial headline to my appeal in your issue of September 10th may deter many from giving effect to it. The "refugees" would not be the Belgian soldiers who are still actively engaged in fighting our common enemy, but their women and children, who are arriving in thousands on our shores, in many instances without means of sub- sistence. Englishmen will remember that when our soldiers arrived in Belgium they were heartily welcomed by the inhabitants, who shared their own none too abundant fare with them and did all they could to show their gratitude. Now, driven from their wrecked homes by a nation that calls itself civilised, these poor refugees are arriving among us, and I hope all British Beekeepers will, if they can, respond to the appeal of the Belgian Minister for foodstuffs, and send what honey they can spare to the Manager, Belgian Relief, c/o Messrs.
