To Sell Antique for Soldier Fund.
The British and Canadian Patriotic Fund Society has announced that its efforts in recruiting ceased with the closing of the official mission here and that its efforts would be devoted now to the raising of funds for the relief of the families of the men who were recruited through the mission. It announced also that it had received as a bequest from a California estate an antique Italian lace coverlet, made about 1490. In accordance with the wishes of the former owner, it is to be sold, and offers are being received in Washington by Leonard Wilson, the Treasurer of the fund.
