ABSTRACT
The condition of the wives and children of the soldiers who are sent on foreign service was also mentioned [in the House of Commons], and this is a subject which has excited great interest out of doors. There can be no question that all those women who are the wives of soldiers, and who cannot support themselves, must be supported; and it ought not to be a parochial, but a national affair: the relief should not be extended to them as a charity, but granted as a right. We hope some specific motion on this subject will be made in the House; and we do not believe that any members would have the heart and nerve to oppose it.
