National Scandal of Charity Funds Wives of English Soldiers
A London letter to a U S navy officer claims the Prince of Wales fund of over 15 million dollars has been misused by many wives and mothers of British soldiers. The writer calls it a national disgrace, urges shutting public houses, and contrasts the alleged scandal with Britain's resolve to raise 2,000,000 troops and continue the war with determined support from the United States. He praises loyalty, wartime sacrifices, and the navy’s quiet effectiveness while warning against a tame peace. The letter quotes optimism about victory and condemns complacent attitudes toward the conflict.
