ST. KILDA BOROUGHCOUNCIL

The ordinary meeting of tho St. KildaBorough Council was held last evening, andwas attended by tho Mayor (Mr W. T.Macfarlane) and Crs Campbell, M'Connell,Clark, Dove, Edgar, Sutherland, Kilpatrick,and Scurr

The Mayor stated tliat he had received apost-card from ex-Cr Adam, who is a mem-ber of the Ambulance Corps on board thoMahcno, in. which tho writer asked to boremembered to his old follow councillors.

Mr B. B. Couston, engineer, reported inconnection with the working of the Mussel-burgh quarry by Messrs Seddon and Roth-well, that they had signed the necessary,agreement, and it was now before the coun-cil for its signature. The engineer stated

• that the contractors had misunderstood thodefinition of fine screenings, and ho hadallowed them to delete the item altogether.The contractors also stated that they wouldhave difficulty in getting tho plant in work-ing order by December 31, as the accept-ance of their tender had been delayed, andthey had' been informed that the councilwotdd place ite order for material,_ but inrespect of crushed material would give rea-sonable time for erecting plant, but wouldgo elsewhere for screenings required for con-crete work if this were started before thecontractors were able to supply. It wasprovided in the specifications that - noticewould be given the contractor on or beforethe 16th of each month what mnterial wasrequired for the following month. Thecontractors wanted to know whether thecouncil would keep them going with spaulsand rotten rock till they got the crushingplant installed. There were two localitieswhere this material might be used. First,in Musselburgh, where there were a num-

»ber of small balances to credit of streets,and there was Gourloy street if the councildecided to adhere to original schedule.Secondly, there was Forbury crescent. Hehad previously expressed the opinion, andstill believed, that the storm-water drain onthe south side and kerbing and channels onboth sides should be constructed before anyother work was undertaken in this street.But he could, if necessary, lay out thechannel on the north side and pitch half-wayacross the road in a similar manner to thatfollowed in Driver street. It meant twicelaying out the same work, and made itmore difficult to place the boards when thechannel was./being constructed, and neces-sarily .added to the cost; but the work wouidpractically absorb all the white stone at thotop of the quarry, and as the DrainageBoard did not apparently know whether orwhen the storm-water drain in this streetwouid be proceeded with, it might be ad-visable to authorise the work as far as hecould conveniently arrange. With regard tothe other quarry products, he recommendedthat orders be placed fop the completion ofmetalhng in. Royal crescent and for quarrydust for blinding that street throughout, forscreenings for kerbs and channel work, andfor screenings and l£in metal for the bal-ance of the asphalt required this season.

! Archie Brof. had been instructed to cleanup the material quarried and' be out of thequarry on November 30, so that it coidd behanded over to Seddon and Rothwell onDecember 1, as provided in the agreement.—It was decided to instruct the engineer,togo on with the formation of Gourley street,and to refer, the rest of the report to theWorks Committee., It was decided to affixthe seal of the council to the agreementbetween the council and Messrs .Seddon andRothwell.

The Finance Committee reported that thebank balances were as follow: —District fundaccount (dr), £7210 19s 8d; special loan aecount, No. 2 (cr), £224 lis 9d; special loanaccount, No. 3 (or), £2570 14s lid; drain-age and sewerage account (cr), £357 15s.—The report was adopted. ,

The Works, Water, and Lighting Com-mittee recommended that the footpath beformed on the front of the sections ownedby Messrs M'Alister and R. M'Kenzie, situ-ated in Forbury crescent, between Richard-son and Kennedy streets.—The report wasadopted.

The Finance, General, Tramways, andHall Committee reported having receivedan application from the St. Clair . BowlingClub for a reduction in the year's rates. Itrecommended) that no reduction be made,.—The recommendation was agreed to.

It was decided to write and ask the fore-man of loan works on whose authority hewas alleged to have stated that the councilwould have to dispense with the services ofmen on the works.

PORT CHALMERS BOROUGHCOUNCIL.

The fortnightly meeting of the Port Chal-mers Borougn (Jounoil was held last even-ing; pre&enfr—the Mayor (Mr T. iicollay),and Crs Powell, lsbister, Stevenson, An-derson, Lightbourne, ■ Williamson, and Love.

The Secretary of the Otago Hospital andCharitable Aid Board wrote' iorwarding astatement showing the amounts still duein connection with the aimount guaranteedby the Port Chalmers Borougn 'Counciltowards the capital cost of the Cottage Hos-pital, and asking that these be paid at thocouncil's convenience. There would also bea further amount of £60 <Lue next year,which would complete the. payments dueby the council. The letter also added thatany amount collected in connection withHospital Saturday would not be acceptedby the board this year as payment ofmoneys d'ue by the council.—Referred to theFinance Committee.

Tho Works Committee reported that theusual work in connection with the streetsand channels had been carried out duringthe fortnight. The committee also recom-mended that the police be asked to preventpersons from riding bicycles on tho Mao-androw road footpath, as the practice wasvery dangerous to pedestrians*.—Adopted.

The Finance Committee reported that thereceipts for the past fortnight had amountedto £502 13s Bd, and the expenditure to£237 19s Bd. The committee recommendedthe payment of the latter sum,—The reportwas adopted, on the motion of Cr Steven-son, who remarked that, at the presenttime, the financial position of the boroughwas about £2000 better than it was lastyear. <

The -reports of the Water, Reserves, andCemetery Committees were adopted prac-tically without discusssion.

A deputation, consisting of the Rev. H.B. Goertz and Mr W Watson (representingthe local Anglican Church), waited on thecouncil in .order to ask it to reconsider thedecision come to at Ipst meeting not toallow certain old cottages in Scotia streetto be removed and re-erected in Harringtonand Laing streets.—Mr Goertz addressed thecouncil at length in support of the changethat was desired, and pointed out the ad-vantages that he considered would accrueto the borough generally.' He stated that,on the site of these cottages, it was pro-posed to erect a handsome new vicarage,that would be a distinct asget to theborough, and, in addition, tho church wouldbo put to a great, deal of expense, andhampered a preat deal in its advancement,if the council persisted in its refusal.—lnconnoction with this matter, Mr,A. Buchanand 43 other ratepayers in the vicinity ofLaing and Harrington streets wrote enter-ing an emphatic protest against the pro-rosed' removal - and re-erection .of the oldcottages.—Tho matter was considered incommittee, and, after a good deal of dis-cission, tho council oarried a refSolution. onthe motion of Cr Stevenson, to the effectthat it was still of opinion that it was un-desirable to shift these buildings, but it hadnot the legal power to prevent it. It wasfurther decided to write a letter to thechurch authorities pointing out the "positionfrom tho council's standpoint.—lt was fur-ther decided, on the motion of Cr Anderson,that the council ask its solicitor to draft aby-law as soon as possible that would pre-

a recurrence of a similar position.

DINNIE V. THE CROWN

GOVERNMENT WIN -ON ATECHNICAL POINT

PROBABLE HARSH TREATMENT.(Pes Umitbd Pbbss Association.)

WELLINGTON, November 22.The Chief Justice delivered judgment to-

day in the case in which Mr Walter Dinnie,ex-Commissioner of Police in New Zealand,eued tho Crown for £501 damages foralleged wrongful dismissal. His Honor wasof opinion that during the six months be-tween Mr Dinnie's resignation- of tho com-missionership and his appointment to a posi-tion in the Native Department he held nooffice tinder tho Crown. By. receiving theamounts that he had paid into the Superan-nuation Fund, he acted as if his office hadceased. "It may be that he has beenha.rsbly treated," concluded his Honor;■" into that question I have no jurisdictionto inquire." Mr Dinnie was nonsuited,costs being allowed on tho lowest scale.

PATIENTS AND PRISONERS'AID SOCIETY.

A GIFT EVENING.

The annual "gift evening" held by thelady descendants of the Early Settlers' As-sociation for the benefit of the Patients andPrisoners' Aid Society took place in theEarly Settlers' Hall last night. There was afair attendance of ladies, and a large collec-tion of gifts of various kinds, includingaiticles of food and clothing and sums ofmoney was brought to the hall.;

Mr G. Fenwick, who was intrpduced byMiss Jarrnan (president of the association),briefly thanked the ladies, in his capacityas chairman of the committee of the society.In the present time of war. he said, itmight have been expected that the ladieswho had supported the work in formeryears would not have carried it on again.But that was not tho way in which ,theDunedin women did their work. Dunedinwas knowu all over New Zealand for doingits duty—he did not mean duty in the senseof something that was done grudgingly orperforce. But it pleased Dunedin peopleto take part in all works for the good ofothers. In nothing was that so evident asin the efforts made on behalf of the poor,the needy, "and the suffering. An appealhad only to be made to the people of Dun-ecin to meet with a generous response.Though the gifts on the present occasionmight not be so numerous as they had.sometimes been in the past, they includedmany useful articles. He thanked thodonor3on behalf of the society, than which ther©was no more deserving organisation inDun-edin For a large number of years it haddone splendid .work in the community,quietly and without ostentation. It wasastonishing to realise what an amount ofhelp it had given to deserving women, andthose who assisted it were helping oneof the finest works that could be performed.Mr Fenwick concluded by again warmlythanking tho ladies for their generous assist-ance.

Mr F. G. Gumming also spoke briefly,assuring his audience that he would seethat' the gifts arrived where they were re-quired, and that he would distribute themto the best of his ability. He was tryingto establish a small fund for a specific pur-pose. He had a number of consumptivepatients for whom there was no hope ofrecovery, and he would like to have themtaken out• occasionally, in order to do some-thing to sweeten up their dying hours. Hewas arranging a concert, which would takeplace on December 7, in the Maori HillCoronation Hall, for that -purpose. •In con-clusion, Mr Cumming expressed sincerethanks for the gifts that have been donated:

A musical programme was then given,and an enjoyable evening was spent. Reci-tations were contributed by Miss Keats andMaster Wilson, and songs by Mrs Hameland Miss Reed. -.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORCHAPLAIN-CAPTAIN BUSH KING'S

STATEMENTS.Sib,—The interview published in last Fri-

day's Daily Times with Chaplain-captainBush King has raised such a' storm ofrighteous indignation and wrath as leads'meto register a protest that such interviews,unsiup ported by fact or responsibleauthority, should be printed at this ,time.The chaplain, "much benefited by the voy-age,";surrounded by piles of books, warrelics, records, mementoes, etc., is made tosay—(1) He is positive that Sir lan Hamil-ton never once visited the fire trenches; (2)of 20,000 Now Zealand troops who havebeen sent to the front only 1500 are nowleft for active service; (3) the Australianswere better treated than the New Zea-landers, andi that that is one of the reasonsthe War Lord has gone east; (4) Admiralde Robe<jk and General Birdwood were theonly two officers of any standing who camenear the trenches at Anzac. The reading ofthe ftret of these statements must cause any-one who is even slightly acquainted withthe,military career of Sir lan Hamilton torepudiate indignantly the possibility of hisbeing guilty of inefficient attention to hisduties; and to protest vehemently that anon-oombatant, evidently Argus-eyed, whois "positive" in making such amazingstatements is labouring under a, delusion.The imputation of lack of courage to suchan officer, to say tho least, is indiscreet atthis time, and, except from a chaplain, wouldreadily be considered malicious. The figuresin the second statement are, on the faceof them, inaccurate, and are not substan-tiated by fact; and the suggestion that oneof the reasons Lord Kitchener journeyed to"the East was to give personal attention tosuch a detail as the adjustment of condi-tions existing between two colonial units inan Empire war is ridiculous. . According tothe fourth statement the trenches at Anzaowere run under the authority of the indi-vidual non-com." or his immediatesuperior, excepting that occasionally Gen-eral Birdwood and Admiral de Robeckvisited for a casual inspection

When every possible consideration is ex-tended to the chaplain-captain .for his nodoubt excellent services, the interview withhim is convincing only in that he well ad-vertises tho fact that he has been, he hasgieen, and he has the "goods," even if theadvertisement thus acquired is at the sacri-fice of the good name and fame of one ofthe greatest soldiers in Great Britain. Thisat a time when such defamatory statements(even if true) should be held over, and atleast 'treated' with the first of God's ownexhortations—charity. Having served underthis .gallant military officer in the SouthAfrican disturbance, I protest. There is nojustice in indefensible attack; and I feelsorry, for this officer's military indiscretion.—I am, T. M. Flitches.

Dunedin, November 20.

Sib,—Chaplain-captain Bush King assertsthat General Sir lan Hamilton was neverseen by the New Zealand troops at Anzac.It would be interesting to know how oftenChaplain-captain Bush King was there him-self. I have before me a letter from amember of tho 4th Reinforcements—a youngman belonging to a well-known and highly-respected family _in DunedinI , —and the fol-lowing passage is included :—"There is nodifference here between Sunday and Mon-day whatever, but I have not seen anyoneanswering to the description of a chaplainsince I came ashore. , Of course, any num-ber of officers wear Ao distinguishing markwhatever being dressed mostly as themen." The letter was dated "4/7/15," andthe writer had then been a month at AnzacCove. lam well aware that a chaplain can-not be in-several places at once, but thesame remarlp applies to . the Commander-in-Chief. I think it is a rather sweepingstatement to make that Sir lan Hamiltonnover visited Anzac—-evidently becauseChaplain-captain Bush King never saw him.Apparently there are a number of our sol-diers who did not sec Chaplain-captain BushKing there either.—l am, etc.,

J. Robertson.Musselburgh, November 20.

CONCILIATION COUNCIL

DUNKDIN CANISTER WORKERSMr J. R. Trigg's, Conciliation Commis-

sioner for (Jtago and Southland, held a sit-ting of the Conciliation Council yesterdayto consider the application of tho DunedinCanister Workers tor alterations in the pre-sent award, principally on the question ofwages. Tho employers were represented byMessrs F J J. Eustace, and W.Stevenson, and the employees by Messvs11. Wells, A. Payton, and G. Lake. MrEicon was also present, having been ap-pointed by tho employees to conduct theircase.

Mr F. J. Lake said this was merely a con-ference of three men from each side, andthey might settle tho matter in a fewminutes if left to themselves.

Mr Breen said the employees had a rightto have an outside representative before thecouncil, and so had the employers. A con-ference , had already taken place betweentho workers and the employers, and ho didnot attend it. No agreement was come toat that conference.

Mr F. J. Lake said the employera wishedto come to an agreement.

The Commissioner said ho understood theposition was that if heavy restrictions wereplaced upon the industry it would have tocome to an end. It was possible, of course,to import canisters?

Mr F. J. Lake said it was being donelargely at present, oven at the present rateof wages.

The principal matters in dispute were:—(1) Tho workers demanded Is 4£d per

hour for adult canister workers., The em-ployers offered Is, which is the rate underthe present award

(2) Overtime.—The employees demandedtime and a-quarter from 5.30. p.m. to 7.30p.m., time and a-half from 7.30 p.m. to 10p.m., and thereafter double time. Therates under the award are: Time and a- 1quarter from 5.30 p.m. to 9 p.m., time anda-half from 9 p.m to 7.30 a.m.

(3) Proportion of boys and youths. Theemployees demanded one boy or youth toevery three adult workers or fraction there-of. Under the old award the proportionwas two boys or youths to every adultworker or fraction thereof.

Mr F. J. Lake said that if the workerswere prepared to allow alterations in therates of wages for boys and youths the em-ployers were prepared to raise the journey-man's wage from Is to Is Ijd per hour.The alterations they desired for boys andyouths were: 12s 6d first year, 16s secondyear (instead of 17s 6d), 20? third year (in-stead of '£l 2s 6d), £1 7s 6d fourth year(instead of £1 10s), and £1 15s! fifth year.

Mr Breen said they could not accept "anyreduction of tho youths' wages. They werenot represented.

The Commissioner endorsed this, addingthat they could not go to the court witha proposal for less wages.

Hie employers conferred in private, andthen offered Is Ijd per hour to adult canis-ter workers, and to strike out of the "boysand youths" clause the words: "Provided,always that after the fifth year a workermay work as an improver for one year at£2 per week."

The workers' representatives had a pri-vate conference, and then intimated theywere prepared to_ accept Is 2d.

The Commissioner said he hoped theworkers would not do anything to hamperthe industry. .

Mr Lake said that in the interests of theworkers themselves he opposed the increasethey asked for; Already goods were im-ported from Japan, and if further restric-tions were placed on the trade in thodominion it would have to stop.' After a discussion, the parties came to

a settlement on the following lines:—Hoursof work and piecework.—As in the presentaward. Minimum wage, Is ljd per hour.Under-rate workers, Arbitration Court'sclause accepted. Overtime, as in the pre-sent award. Boys and youths, _as in thopresent award, with the deletedrespecting a man as an improverat £2 per week. Proportion of boys andyouths, as in the present award. Prefer-ence,' as in the present award. Femalelabour and scope of award, as in the pre-sent award. The new award will come intoforce on December 1, 1915, and remain inforce until 30th November, 1917.

A SERIES OF THEFTS

DAVID CAMERON BEFORE THECOURT.

COMMITTED FOR TRIAL ON ONE 'CHARGE.

CONVICTED ON THREE OTHERS.At the City Policc Court yesterday, be-

foro Mr J. R. Bartholomew, S.M., DavidOirueron was charged that on or aboutNovembor 9, by right, ho did break andenter the warehouse of Messrs Canhamand Wilson and steal therefrom 12 hides,valued at £30; also that on October 25he did steal four rolls of bacon, three hams,and one cheese, valued at £9, the propertyof Messrs Waters, Ritchie, and. Co.; alsothat on September 11 he did steal threebags of sugar, valued at 365, the propertyof the National Mortgage and Agency Com-pany, and, furthor, on the same date, hedid steal 60 new sacks, valued at £2 ss,the property of the National Mortgage andAgency Company. The aocused was notrepresented by counsel, and Chief Detec-tive Bishop prosecuted.

Chief Detective Bishop said that onecharge was an indictable one, and the otherthree, if his Worship saw fit, could be dis-posed of by him.

Tho Magistrate decided to deal with theminor coses, tho charges relating to thebacon, hams, «nd cheesc being dealt withfirst. '

William Alexander Montgomery, headstoreman for Messrs Waters, Ritchie, andCo., stated that he locked up the store at1 p.m. on October 23, leaving everythingsafe. On October 26 four rolls of , bacon,three hams, and one cheese were missing.The accused had been about tho store throetimes during the month the theft was com-mitted. He wa6 looking for work.

Joseph Edward Evans, salesman forMessrs Waters, Ritchie, and Co., gave evi-dence as to missing tho hams, bacon, andcheese. On the 15th inst. ho identified thearticles mentioned at the police station.

Detective Hall described the circumstanceswhich led up to the accused's arrest, andstated that later the articles produced werefound at the home of the accused.

The accused maintained his innocence,and said he had found the bacon and otherarticles inside his gate early one morning.It was raining, and he took the things in-side and placed them in a cupboard, whichhe locked! giving hi.? wife the key. Sheasked him where the goods camo from, andhe replied: "You had better pro and findout."

The Magistrate: The accused will be con-victed on this charge.

The next charge was that connectcd withthe theft of sugar from the National Mort-gage and Agency Company.

William George Kirkwood, storeman forthe company, stated that between August13 and September 30 they had a. largequantity of sugar in store, and when stock-taking they miss3d four bags.

Ernest Swete, a grocer carrying on busi-ness in King Edward street, South Dun-edin, 6aid he c'-id not know the accused,and had never seen him before.

Detective Hall stated that her had askedaccused where he got the sugar, and hehad replied that he bought it from a grocernear Oargill's Corner. He pointed out thepremises of the last witness as the' placewhere he had bought the sugar. MrsSwete was in the shop, and accused said:"I didn't buy it from her; I bought itfrom a man."

The accused: Goodness gracious! therewere not three bags. There were two anda-half bags of sugar. I found it insidethe gate between six and a-quarter to sevenin the morning. When asked if he de-sired to give evidence, the accused repliedthat he had said all he had to say.

The Magistrate said the explanation givenby the accused was simply farcical, and liewould be convicted.

The charge relating to tlie theft of sackswas taken next.

William Georgo Kirkwood thesacks as being the property of the NationalMortgage and Agency Company.

James Foster deposed to carting GO sacksfrom the accused's house to Nimmo andBlair's, and Francis George Sharp, sales-man for the latter firm, gave evidence asto buying them "for £1 10s.

The accused' denied knowing anythingabout the sacks, but tho magistrate con-victed him.

The indictabl-i case was then taken.Claud Theodore Lee, manager for Messrs

Canhain and Wilson, wool and i=kin ex-porters, stated that, on the 10th inst., hemissed a number of hides from his store.On November 12 he went with DetectivesKemp and Hall to Stronach, Morris's store,where he saw 12 hides, which he recognisedas the property of Canham and Wileon.The hides were roughly valued at £2 10seach. The accused had been employed inthe store from October 11 to October 16.The firm had a nightwatohman lookingafter the premises, but he. reported nothing.Witness subsequently saw three bags atthe detective office, and he identified themas the property of his firm. They werevalued at 9d each. .

Evidence was also given by Charles Wil-liam Price (storeman in charge of Can-ham and Wilson's hide department).

George Mitchell (storeman for Stronach,Morris, and Co.) said the accused tookthree sacks of hides to the store on the11th inst. Witness gave the accused thecustomary tioket for the hides. Later_heasked! the accused where he got the hidesfrom, as witness did not think they werehis property. ; Accused said he and hisbrother were butchering near Green Island,and were killing their own beasts near thoabattoirs. Witness then told the accusedto see Mr Morris, and he did so, and thensaid he would take the skins away the nextmorning. He arrived wjth an express totak.q them away, bait hp was arrested byDetective Hall.

Detective Hall gave evidehco as to ar-resting the accused. He asked tfhe accusedwhere he (rot the hides from, and he re-fused to tell him. When arrested accusedresisted, and one of the storemen helpedwitness to handcuff him. At the policostation ho made a long, rambling statementthat he had bought the hides from a mannamed Hill, outside of Christchurch. Afterappearing before the court, he took Detec-tive Kemp and witness to Canham and Wil-son's stpre. He stated that he got in about2 aim. and bagged the hides up and tookthem to an empty shed about 50 yardsdown Willis street. He then went to abrick building in Crawford street, and frombehind some bricks produced three emptysacks, which witness took poseeseon of.

The accused was committed for trial atthe next sitting of the Supreme Court.

The Magistrate then asked Chief DetectiveBishop what was known of the accused.

The Chief Detective replied that accusedcame hero about six months ago. Heboarded with a young widow, *whohad two girls between 10 and 11 years ofago. Accused eventually married themother of these girls. That was all thepolice knew of the accused. He had cer-tainly not been convicted before. 'He hadbeen in custody since tho 12th inst.

The Magistrate remanded the accused fora week, and ordered that, during thatperiod, he should be .placed under observa-tion.

THE RETURN OF THE SAILER.A few weeks ago news came to hand to

the effect that Messrs 0. Lundin and Sonshad purchased the Norwegian barques Activand Shakespeare, and it now transpires thatMessrs Lundin have also purchased theNorwegian barque Lalla Rookh. It is verypleasing to mention that at least one firmdoes not intend to allow the wind-jammer tofade into oblivion. The Lalla Rookh is a■very fine vessel of 841 tons register, andwas built by R. Steele and Co., ofGreenock, in 1871, the firm which, by theway, 'has built some very fast vessels, butis now out of business. Ths Lalla Rookh■was sold by Messrs Lever Bros., of PortSunlight, about sis years ago to Nor-wegians, and has since that time beentramping the deep looking for payablefreights. Like the Shakespeare, she is nowloading a cargo of Baltio pine at Norway

S for Adelaide, where she will be handed over' to her new owners.

COMFORTS FOR THESOLDIERS.

It is evident that the question ofproviding comforts for our soldiers—wounded and otherwise — inEgypt, at the Dardanelles, and else-where, involves a problem of whicha satisfactory solution has not yetbeen reached. The importance, ofthe matter can, however, hardly beover-rated. At the conference ofrepresentatives of patriotic commit-tees which was held in Wellingtonlast week the Minister of Defenceexplained that in relation to thesick and wounded outside of NewZealand the Government stoppedshort at providing for all the actualnecessities of the soldiers. The otherrequirements were considered by theGovernment to be a fair charge uponthe patriotic funds. The conferenceseems to have agreed that the onusof the Government did not extend tothe provision of comforts, and ac-cepted the responsibility indicatedby the Minister by approving of aproposal that a sum of £6000should be devoted monthly to sup-plying comforts for the sick andwounded soldiers. Probably thisamount is larger than will actuallybe required. However that may be,there now arises the important ques-tion of the manner in which thesefunds, or what they will purchase,are to be effectively distributedamong those whose lot it is intendedthey shall alleviate. The larger pro-portion of these will probably besomewhere near the Dardanelles. Ifthe dominion were represented bya Red Cross organisation in thistheatre—as Australia is represented—the matter would be simplified.As it is, the question of finding orcreating an organisation to dischargethis function has to be settled. MrJ. E. Watson, of Invercargill, fromwhom we publish a letter on thesubject this morning, has suggestedthat an executive of chaplains shouldbe appointed in Egypt which wouldbe supplied with funds that shouldbe utilised under their authority forthe provision of comforts. Anotherproposal has been opportunely madeby the Y.M.C.A. Representativesof this organisation who approachedthe Minister of Internal Affairs lastweek asking that they might be al-lowed to lay certain representationsbefore the conference of representa-tives of patriotic committees hadtheir request shelved on groundswhich, they complain, revealed amisapprehension on the Minister'spart. "Mr Russell entirely misun-derstood our visit," Mr Varney,general secretary of the Y.M.C.A. inWellington, has said. " We askedto be allowed to interview the as-sembled delegates in order to offerour organisation to them unre-servedly as a means to the distri-bution of comforts to our s.oldiers inEgypt, Malta, and Gallipoli. Wedo not ask for assistance from thepatriotic societies for our own parti-cular work, although we have beendoing, and are doing, on a largescale, work in camps in Egypt thatcomes within the scope of the fundscollected to aid our soldiers." Nodoubt the representatives of the pat-riotic committees who must needs belooking for an effective means ofdistributing the funds they are pre-pared to allocate would have beenpleased to have had this offer placedbefore them in conference, and tolisten to the arguments that areto be urged in favour of its accept-ance. The offer seems indeed to beone which, on its merits, should re-ceive sympathetic considerationfrom the patriotic committees. Thework that is being done by theY.M.C.A. at the front is not beingextensively advertised, but the morethat is learnt about it the greater arethe admiration and support to wljichit seems entitled. The main con-siderations in the case, and they areclearly important, are that theY.M.C.A. is on the spot, that it hasthe organisation required in a con-siderable number, of energetic andzealous officials, and that the offerit is making of its resources is purelygratuitous. That the work of dis-tribution would be well done—per-haps as well as it would be £hrougnany other agency—can' hardly bedoubted by anybody who readssomething of the details of the lab-ours of the Y.M.C.A. representa-tives in Egypt and the Dardanelles.The association has twenty-five sec-retaries working in unison fromSuez to Anzac. A letter recentlyreceived by Mr Varney from MrJessop, general secretary at Cairo,gives many interesting particulars ofthe work done, especially in relationto the establishment of theY.M.C.A. at Gallipoli. Mr Jessoptells of his personal experiences inmaking arrangements for the estab-lishment of centres at Mudros, Capelielles, -Anzac, and elsewhere. Hewrites: "The military authoritiesat Mudros are most anxious that weshould open up there immediately.They offer us every assistance. Theyare making preparation there for ahospital of 12,000 beds and largerecreation and concentration camps.The weather is very severe duringthe winter. . . . The need ofY.M.C.A. work at Kephalos, Lem-nos, Helles, and Anzac is very great.The men who are fighting for theEmpire have nothing there in theway of comforts and no means ofgetting them except by paying veryhigh prices." The zeal of theY.M.C.A. to establish itself as nearthe firing-line as possible, whereverthat may be, does it infinite credit.It goes without saying, also, thatin the localities where it hasformed, or is establishing,centres it is peculiarly in touchwith those to whom it is most de-sirous that comforts of various kindsshould be distributed. There is noreason to doubt, moreover, that theefficiency of its organisation has beenbrought to a high standard with the.

valuable experience its officials havehad time to acquire. There may besome better means than thoseoffered by the Y.M.C.A.,whereby the patriotic commit-tees in New Zealand can securethat comforts shall .be expeditiouslyand advantageously distributed tothe men who arc either in hospitalsin Egypt, Malta, and Lemnos, oractually at the front. But, so far,the offer of the Y.M.C.A., involv-ing no need for the establishmentof ffesh machinery, really seems tobe the most satisfactory that hasbeen presented.

GREECE AND THE WAR.The situation in Greece remains the mostinteresting in the whole panorama of thewar. There seems to be reason, fortu-nately, to believe that it has become dis-tinctly more favourable. Necessarily therecan only be speculation as to what trans-pired at the interviews which Lord Kit-chener had with the King of the Hellenesand with the Greek Premier. It seems tobe accepted, however, that lie demandedabsolute guarantees for the safety of theallied troops if they should be forced tocross the Greek frontier. Because theexisting guarantees were not regarded asadequate, an economic and commercialblockade was announced towards the endof last week by the British Legation inAthens. As tho Imperial Government dis-claimed all official knowledge of the issueof this announcement, it is to be presumedthat the step was taken at the direct in-stigation of Lord Kitchener, who musthave been entrusted with something likeplenary powers to deal with the situationas he found it in Greece in the mannerbest calculated to serve the interests ofthe Entente Powers., The question of thestrict regularity of the blockade may beleft for future consideration. No doubtsome of the sticklers in the House of Com-mons for the observance of due form inthe measures that are adopted by the Bri-tish Government in association with, theGovernments of the allied Powers, and forthe issue of a warning of steps that mayprove embarrassing to other Powers, willnot neglect the opportunity to seek a. dis-cussion on the' subject in the ImperialParliament. Apparently!, however, the an-nouncement of the economic and commer-

! cial blockade has created a very deep im-| pression in Greece. It is only provisionalin its character, yet the cable messagesthis morning indicate that it has alreadybrought the Greek people face to facewith the prospect of a serious economic

problem. It must tend, moreover, to pro-duce a vivid realisation in Greece of thegrave danger that must attend any coquet-ting on her part with the Central Euro-pean Empires. She is almost entirely atthe mercy of the Entente Powers in respectof the supplies which she -draws from over-sea countries./ A blockade of her coastsrepresents, therefore, the most formidablekind of pressure that can be exerted upon

| her. In these circumstances, it may beconjectured that she will recognise the ex-pediency of offering to the Entente Powersall the guarantees they require for thesafety of any allied troops-that may enterGreek territory.- These guarantees, more-over, must extend to all the fresh troopswhich tho Allies may find it necessary toland in the Balkans. The importance ofthe developments that have taken placethere is now, it may be gathered, fullyappreciated, so that the landing of ' aforce, sufficiently large to meet all therequirements of the situation, may be con-fidently looked for. There are more waysthan one to Constantinople. Even, there-fore, if the attack on the Dardanellesshould be abandoned, this would simplybe in order that the troops now on theGallipoli Peninsula should be concentratedin elsewhere, the success ofwhich would secure the attainment of theend that has been their objective. More-over, it is perfectly clear, and has indeedbeen frequently pointedl out, that throughSerbia lies a road that opens up a prac-ticable line of attack upon the CentralEmpires. Given a stern determination onthe part of the Entente Powers to utilisetheir available strength in the Balkans,there is no cause to apprehend that theAustro-German offensive, assisted by Bul-garia, in that quarter will seriously in-fluence the issue of the war. The navalstrength of tjjo Allies should, in the longrun, prove a decisive factor. ff There is,"writes Mr Archibald Hurd in the DailyTelegraph, " a bedrock foundation-stoneby which we may test our confidence ineventual victory. If Germany and herallies were by any conceivable circum-stances to win, in spite of the Allies hold-ing the command of tail the world's seas,we should be justified in making a bonfireof all the works of Admiral Mahail, andGermany would have to confess that hernaval expansion movement, which cost her£300,000,000, was an act of wasteful folly.Unless all the deductions of history, fromthe times of Xerxes and Themistocles, rest-on heresy, our enemies cannot win, if onlyibecause we and those associated -with ushold- the seas."

It is understood (says the Wellington cor-respondent of the Lyttelton Times) that theCouncil of Education has finally decided toabolish the South Canterbury EducationBoard and to leave the Nelson educationdistrict in enjoyment of its separate repre-sentation. Tho South and North Canter-bury education districts will now be amal-gamated and placed under the administra-tion of tho one - board sitting in Christ-church. A good deal of political activityhas been evinced in connection with thisquestion, and the decision of the councilis sure to provoke some comment upon thefact that South Canterbury has been con-sistently opposed for years past to losingits identity as an education district Inanticipation of this it is only fair to saythat Mr Hanan, the present Minister ofEducation, at the instance of the memberfor Timaru, put the case for South', Can-terbury very urgently before the membersof the council. . The Educational Councilresolved that the following should be thenew education districts Auckland, Tara-naki, Hawke's Bay, Wanganui, AVellington,Nelson, Canterbury, Otago and Southland.The boards to disappear are Marlborough(absorbed into Wellington), Westland andSouth Canterbury (taken into Canterbury,which extends southwards to include theWaimate County). Tho Otago and South-land districts are not to be altered.

In September Mrs Annie Rudd was fined£10 and costs in tho Wellington Magistrate'sCourt on a charge of posting a. letter to thoMinister of Justice abusing Constable Pricein grossly offensive terms (says the NewZealand Times). Mr E. G. Jellieoe, on herbehalf, on Wednesday urged an appeal inBanco before the Chief Justice (Sir Robertfitout), on the ground that section 83 oftho Post and Telegraph Act, under whichthe charge was laid, did not apply to aletter the contents of which were scaled,and that tho conviction was founded on amistaken assumption of tho law of evidence.Judgment was reserved.

The Methodists 6! the Otago district 'willcommence their annual Synod in TrinityChurch this morning, when th© MinisterialCommittee will meet at 10 o'clock.

The Synod is expected to closeon Thursday.

In reply to a suggestion from the execu-tive of the Associated Chambers of Com-merce that a New Zealand trade representa-tive be appointed for the -west coasts ofNorth and South America, the Prime Min-ister states (says the New Zealand Times)that there is already a New Zealand tradercpresentatve at San Francisco, in the personof Mr E. Clifton, and another at Vancouver,v.ho devotea part* of his time to tho work.The whole question, however, is being con-sidered, in view of Mr Clifton's impendingretirement. In regard to the -west coast ofSouth America, inquiries were made by theNew Zealand Government some months ago,from tho British Consuls in tho countries onthat coast, as to the prospects of and facili-ties for trade in dominion products. MrMassey regretted that the replies receivedwere by no means encouraging, and, mean-time, the expenditure involved in setting upa trade commissioner was not warranted bythe probable trade.

A demonstration was given on Wednesdayof a bullet-resisting apparatus, the inventionof the well-known New Zealand inventor MrM. M. Moloney, Christohurch (says thePress). Mr Moloney's invention, which canbe -used as a breastplate or as a shield toprotect soldiers' heads during entrenchingoperations, is composed of a number of steelbars enclosing strips of cork. The weight is4£lb, as against Maxim's shield, which is7£lb. The velocity of the bullet is brokenby the resistance of the oork, and MrMoloney claims that, once it-has penetratedthe shield, the bullet would not injure asheet of paper. Bullets were fired from aservice rifle at a range of 40 yards at thebarracks, and subsequent examinationshowedthat they had flattened right out after pass-ing through the oork, and were simply rest-ing against the back of it. The demonstra-tion was witnessed by Colonel Chaffey,Colonel G. J. Smith, and other officers, andthey appeared to be impressed with the capa-bilities of Mr •> Moloney's invention. MrMoloney states that, as a result of the de-monstration, the shield , only requires a littlemore pressure to fulfil the demands he .ex-pects from it.

•When Robert Stockbridge, one of the in-dividuals charged with the Miramiar bur-glaries, was placed in the prisoners' dock atthe Wellington Supreme Court last weekho required the services of two warders tokeep him in order (says the' Times). Forsome time back his conduct, whether sinm-lateH or otherwise, has been of a charactersuggestive of weakness of intellect. Whenasked to. plead by the Registrar he simplysaid "Dotty." His counsel, Mr Jackson,intimated that he would not put in a pleaof insanity, as the onus of, proof wouldthen bo placed on him. The Crown Pro-secutor, Mr .Meredith, intimated that hewould bo perfeotly prepared to meet sucha plea with the evidence of warders andothers. Stockbridge had his hands heldon either side by the warders, as he threat-ened to become violent. In the morninghe indulged in meaningless gibberings, butas the day wore'on he was comparativelyquiet. >

Already reference has been' made to theshortage of shearers, and on Wednesday MrM. Laracy (secretary of the New 'ZealandShearers' Assbciation) made a further state-ment on the subject to a Wellington Postreporter. As showing how acute the posi-tion is becoming, he explainedl that, throughan agent in Wellington, he had been author-ised to engage two shearers for Marlboroughat 25s per 100—5s above the award rate;—but he had been unable to obtain the men."In most of the sheds," said the informant,"from 22s 6d to 25s is being paid voluntarilyby the employers. This is owing to theshortage of men, and the high price of wool,as proved by Wednesday's wool sales; also,to the fact that the sheepownera are pre-pared to pay a higher rate on account ofthe increased co6t of living, and because agreat majority of the men who work in theshearing sheds are married men and havedependents living in the towns. Last yeartho men received 22s 6d in many places."

Among the prisoners of war interned onSomes island is an ex-worker on the Wel-lington waterfront, whose case was men-tioned to a representative of the New Zea-Jand Times by an interested friend. Theman was born in Germany,,his father beingIrish and his mother German, and he livedin that country until he was i2 years of age.Then he came to New Zealand, and sincethat time has never been near Germany orheld any communication with anybody there.He docs not oven know whether his parentsare still alive, and he can neither read norwrite the German language, but he is nota naturalised British subject, though he hasan English wife. - Some 12 months ago,when working on a coastal boat, he wastaken out (so it is stated) by the authoritiesand came to Wellington to try to make aliving on, the wharves. For nearly 11months ho worked here, all he had to dobeing to report himself to the police once aweek, but four weeks ago he was taken 'ncharge and removed to Somes Island. 'Noexplanation was given. . His wife asked theofficers what she and her children'were todo in the meantime, the reply being in theshape of advice to apply to the CharitableAid Board. There has been some commentconcerning tho treatment meted out to thisman, whose family is in poor circumstances,compared with that enjoyed by • a certainwell-known individual who for long held avery lucrative position..

In charging the jury in tho Miramar bur-glary cases at Wellington on Tuesday, MrJustice Chapman dwelt upon the recognisedvalue of finger-print evidence (says the New"Zealand Times).' The system by which theimprints of criminals' fingers were classifiedand kept for reference had become of enor-mous importance. It had its rise in India,and probably earlier in China, and it hadbeen elaborated in France, the British Em-pire, and the United States. Authoritieshad come to rely upon the scientific evi-dence and the indelibility of finger-prints,there being no heredity in the distributionof the marks, and an enormous improbabilityof any chance resemblance between those oftwo different individuals. So far, in themany cases that had been recorded in thedifferent countries mentioned, iio two in-dividuals had been found to have a'set offinger-prints which were exactly alike. Thefinger-print evidence formed the most im-portant factor in the Miramar cases, and thejury returned a verdict of guilty againstthe two persons implicated.

The need for the provision of additionalfunds to admit of comforts being supplied tothe sick and 'wounded New Zealandin England having been brought under thenotice of the community, we have appealedto the poblio for-subscriptions to an InvalidSoldiers' Fond, which may be applied to theobject of securing that the New Zealandersin hospital at Home and, where necessary,elsewhere may obtain these comforts.

To this appeal we have received a veryhandsome response, over £700 having beenplaced at our disposal in a period of a fort-night. Out of this sum we have alreadyforwarded £600 by cable to the High Com-missioner in London. A resolution, whichwas passed last week at a meeting of repre-sentatives of patriotio societies, affirmingthat these societies should make a liberalmonthly appropriation to meet the cost ofsupplying comforts to sick and woundedsoldiers, has now placed the whole matteron a more satisfactory footing.

MELBOURNE, November 22.An elderly woman, Mrs Johnston, was

fatally stabbed -with a bayonet. Herbrother, William Quinlan, after a despe-rate struggle, disarmed tie murderer, who,however, escaped.

Subsequently John M'Namara, Quin-lan's son-in-law, who is separated from hiswife as a result of frequent quarrels, wasarrested on a charge of murdering MrsJohnston. (

It appears that M'Namara called at thehouse, where his wife lived with her tmcle,Mr Quintan. Mrs Johnston opened thedoor, and, in reply to M'Namaxa's requestto see his wife, she said. "If you haveanything to say, say it to me. If youmake trouble we will send for the police."

M'Namara thereupon stabbed her, say-ing : "That.is all I have to say."

Quinlan was also injured, but not seri-ously.

LONDON, November 21.The Sunday Times says: "The guaran-

Evenif they deem it necessary to suspend ordethrone King Constantine, they still havethe plea that it would be legal in defenceof Greece's Constitution."

The Observer says :"Constantine is vir-

tually governing by a coup d'etat. It maybe forgotten that Britain, France, andRussia have Tendered such services andfavours to Greece as no other nation re-ceived. The protecting Powers later hadan awakening, and the guarantors havebeen compelled to ask in their turn forunmistakable and unbreakable guarantees.Rumania's present policy is untouched bysentiment, and entirely determined by cal-culation. A strong pro-German minorityin Bucharest is pressing the case morevigorously than ever. We must now useevery inducement capable of turning theScale.

(Received Nov. 22, at 10.55 p.m.)The allied fleets have begun to severely

and Delyannis were rivals for the Premier-ship. For 12 years, with two short inter-vals, the former was in office, and, whilethe reforms he introduced were unpopular,,the country prospered under them. M. Dely-annis came into power in 1885, owing to theindignation excited in * Greece by the re-volution of I'hilipopolis. The aimy and fleetwere mobilised, with a view to exactingterritorial compensation for the aggrandise-ment of Bulgaria, and border conflicts withthe Turks e'hsued. The Powers, after re-peatedly inviting the Delyannis Cabinet todisarm, established a blockade of thePiraeus and other Greek ports, Francoalone standing out. _M. Delyannis fell frompower, and M. Trikoupis issued a decreeof disarmament. In consequence of borderencounters, however, the blockade was notimmediately- raised. It lasted- just a month,and inflicted very severe loss upon the coun-try-]

that the Allies are too late, and littlenow remains of Serbia to save. Itseems that the Allies have been cutoff from the main Serbian army,which has to bear the brunt of theBulgar.German invasion. Heavy gunsand motor tractors have been sentfrom Sofia with a quarter of a millionrifles to arm the Bulbar reserves.

French military critics consider thatthis is a preliminary movementagainst the Allies at Salonika, in the ,hope of driving them into the $ea.The first condition of safety for theAlliesis the removal of the Greek men*ace. It is absolutely necessary that300,000 fresh troops should be landedimmediately in the littoral.

ANOTHER RUMOUR.LE TEMPS AFRAID OF ANOTHER

MISTAKE.FIGHTING MUST BE IN SERBIA.

LONDON, November 21.(Received Nov. 22, at 5.10 p.m.)

Le Temps says that strong British con-tingents have been collected near the SuezCanal, and they are credited with theintention of taking the offensive againstSyria, via Sinai. Such an expedition isnot likely to be successful. It must cross450 miles of broken country, and theforces, which would be used up on theway, are themselves insufficient to con-quer Syria with one blow. If they arelanded at Alexandretta, making the SuezCanal the starting point, they would re-peat the mistake in attackingthe southern end of the peninsula.

There are considerable British rein-forcements in Egypt. Many have beenborrowed for Salonika, without endanger-ing the Suez Canal, to be used in Serbia,thereby better guaranteeing British posses-sions, because the enemies which maythreaten them arc in Serbia, where theymust be beaten in order to bar their roadeastward.

LORD KITCHENER'S.MISSION.

HOPEFUL SIGNS IN GREECE.

AN OFFICIAL DISCLAIMER.LONDON, November 21.

(Received Nov. 22, at 5.5 p.m.)Diplomatic circles in London await

with feverish anxiety an announce*ment of the result of tlie conversationbetween King Constantine and LordKitchener. Some quarters are hopefulof favourable developments. Theypoint out that Greek public opinionwas first deeply impressed with thereports of German victories, but thesehad changed during the last few days.The friendliness of the Greeks is evi*dent from the enthusiastic receptiongiven to M. Cochin, and the sympathytowards the Allies is believed to begrowing daily.

The Greek Legation, instructed fromAthens, denies the existence of anyGraeco=Bulgarian agreement, except atechnical protocol of October 29, signedby representatives of the Graeco=Bul*garian railways, providing for thepuchase in Bulgaria of 10,000 tons ofcereals, Bulgarian wagons to be used,for transport..

PARIS OPINION.

"THE KITCHENER TOUCH."

PARTIAL DEMOBILISATION NECES-SARY.PARIS, November 22.

(Received Nov. 22, at 8.25 p.m.)Press comments are to the effect that

Lord Kitchener had an opportunity to saymany things to King Constantine. It wasan artistic arrangement by which theKitchener touch followed immediatelyupon the paternal gentleness and bon-homie of M. Cochin. The details of theinterviews are a secret, but it is assumedthat the Allies are only asking Greece fora strict fulfilment of her promises of bene-volent neutrality. One important questionis associated with the concentration ofGreek troops at Salonika, where it is esti-mated that there are 15 divisions—forwhat reason, unless Greece is prepared tofulfil her treaty obligation and help Ser-bia. Some degree of demobilisation seemsto be necessary, as a minimum proof ofthe sincerity of her neutrality.

SENSATION 8N ATHENS.

ENTENTE POWERS' DEFI-NITE STATEMENT.

i

ATHENS, November 22.(Received Nov. 22, at 8.55 p.m.)A profound sensation has been

caused by the British Legation's state*ment in the newspapers. It says thatin view of the Hellenic Government'sattitude regarding the security of theEntente's troops and the liberty ofaction it is entitled to in connectionwith the disembarkation of troops, theAllied Powers judge it necessary totake certain measures having for theirobjcct the suspending of the commer*cial and economic facilities Greece hashitherto enjoyed. The Powers in no*wise intend to coerce Greece to departfrom that neutrality which she be*lieves best serves her interests, butthe Entente Powers are obliged totake cognisance of certain allusionsmade to the possibility of measures tobe taken by the Greek Governmentwhich are contrary to assurances re*ceived. When all doubt upon* thesematters has been dissipated the En* 'tente Powers will'be happy to remove .the obstacles now opposed to thearrival of merchandise consigned toGreece, and accord the facilities natu*rally attending normal relations.

Anti=Venezelist newspapers predicta total lack of bread for non*com*

• batants in a few days. The Allies'measures, they say, are intended toforce Greece to abandon her neutrality.The newspapers point out that it ispossible that Greece may undertakenot to disarm allied troops and to pre*vent Germans and Bulgarians frompursuing them upon Greek soil, but insuch a case the Allies must leaveGreek territory, as it would be impos*sible to prevent the Germans and Bui*garians from pursuing if the Alliesawaited reinforcements at Salonika.It is understood that Lord Kitchenerand M. Cochin demanded assurancesof absolute freedom of action.

LORD KITCHENER'S VISIT.

GOOD RESULTS PREDICTED.LONDON, November 22.

(Received' Nov. 22, at 8.35 p.m.)The Times correspondent at Athens

states that the results of Lord Kitchener'svisit warrant favourable views as to theprospect of a settlement. His arrival wasquite unexpected. Generals Macmahonand Maxwell accompanied him. The visitwas too sudden and too brief to admit ofa public demonstration, but Lord Kitch-ener's commanding presence was the ob-ject of general remark.

states that Lord Kitchener's conversationwith King Constantine was restricted tothe Balkan warfare in general, and par-ticularly to the strategy of the presentcampaign. His interview with M. Skou-loudis related to political questions.

GERMANS MUST BE BEATEN

SIR E. GREY'S MISTAKE.ATHENS. November 22.

(Received Nov. 22, at 8.35 p.m.)Mr Ward Price interviewed M.

Venizelos, who stated: "The Germansare bound to be conquered in the end.The reserves fromwhich theyare draw*in/* their resources are much smallerthan those of the Allies. The Germanshave already passed the zenith of theirstrength, though they are powerfulenough to prolong the struggle for along time. The new battle-ground—the Balkans—offers favourable condi*tions for the Entente Powers to detaillarge bodies of troops, and thus cut offGermany from her supplies of menand minerals in Turkey. If the Alliessmash the Germans in Serbia a lineof invasion will be open across theHungarian Plain, which is Germany'sweakest flank. I have the greatestadmiration for Sir Edward Grey, buthe made a mistake to chill Greek sym*pathies by offering the Bulgarians Ka-valla without first ascertainingwhether they would accept the bribe.The mass of Greeks felt it would betoo risky to.accept Cyprus under con*ditions which were likely to result intheir forfeiting the rest of their terri*tory.

THE DARDANELLESFINE WORK BY TRAWLERS.

(Times and Sydney Sun Services.)LONDON, November 21.

Mr Ashmead-Bartlett pays a tribute tothe work of the trawlers in the Medi-terranean, used for patrolling lines of com-munication and for conveying supplies tothe troops from Mudros Bay to Gallipoli.The North Sea fishermen, he said, were amagnificent race, contemptuous of others,and regarding seamanship as a lost artexcept among themselves. For eightmonths they had swept the DardanellesStrait and braved shells and submarines.Elsewhere they had made thousands oftrips, with the loss of only one trawlersunk by shell fire off Attzac.

A RUSSIAN GENERAL'S RE-VIEW.

EN FAVOUR OF WITH-DRAWAL.

TO STRENGTHEN BALKANSARMIES.

PETROGRAD, November 22.(Received Nov. 22, at 8.35 p.m. )General Shumsky, reviewing the

Dardanelles enterprise in the BourseGazette, assumes that General Mon*ro's report favours withdrawal. Fromthe standpoint of strategy the originallanding at Gallipoli was open to seri*ous objection, as it was clear that theultimate fate of the Dardanelles mustbe decided with that of Berlin.Nevertheless it attracted the mainbody of ; Turks, and relieved pressureupon Egypt and the Caucasus. Thecapture of Constantinople was unde*sirable, as it demanded a larger forcethan could be safely spared.

The first attack upon the straitsproved that no fleet in the world couldovercome the coastal fortifications,however weakly defended. It wasnow clear that the Anglo*Frenchforces were divided into three parts,while the enemy was in a single com*pact mass; hence General Monro's re*port upon the necessity for leavingGallipoli.

General Shumskv states that itwould be more than inexpedient toleave the Balkans. The Austro=Ger*mans' cannot be permitted tostrengthen their, human resources byBalkan contingents, or to use the Bal=kans for a free passage into AsiaMinor and Egypt. General Monro evi*dently recommends the concentrationof the three groups of allied armies inthe Balkans, which is imperatively de=manded by the principles of strategy.

A victory in Macedonia would openthe road to Constantinople morespeedily than the slow siege opera*tions on Gallipoli.

(Times and Sydney Sun Services.)

LONDON, November 21.In the House of Commons, criticising

the business methods of the War Office,Mr Joseph Walton said it had boughtfar too great quantities of khaki, enoughfor 15 million uniforms.

Mr H. W. Forster (Financial Secretaryfor War) defended the War Office. Hementioned that the War .Office providedhut accommodation for 280,C00 in thefirst four months of the war—a feat un-paralleled in engineerfiig history.

WITTENBERG DETENTION CAMP.

PRISONERS' HARDSHIPS.

LONDON, November 21.The Press Bureau publishes the report

of Mr Osborne, of the American Embassy,as to the Wittenberg camp, where 400British, including 34 civilians, are con-fined.

Clothing is the chief source of trouble,there being no overcoats.

A watchman took a fierce dog to thebarracks, which attacked several prisoners,tearing their clothes.

A German soldier in charge of the bath-house struck with his closed fist severalprisoners, including a man crippled in theright arm, for dressing too slowly.

Mr Osborne says that the impression heformed of the authorities at Wittenbergis utterly Unlike that he ' formed fromvisits to other camps. Instead of;regard-ing their charges as honourable prisonersof war. they appeared to regard them ascriminals for whom a regime of fear alonewould suffice. All evidence of a kindlyhumane feeling a", between authorities andprisoners was lacking.

PETROGRAD,, November 22.(Received.Nov 23, at 0.50 a; m.)

The lull on the Russian front betokensimportant preparations on the part of theRussian General Staff. The Russian artil-lery is now proving its superiority alongthe whole front. The Germans are adopt-ing extraordinary methods to counteractthe terrible cold, justifying the Kaiser'srecent jest in an army order that heabolished the Russian winter. These in-clude light metal buildings provided withsteam heaters and the delivery of enor-mous quantities of spirit, with which thesoldiers are rubbed all over daily. Mar-shal von Hindenburg, in an army ordeT,states that the commander who loses asingle man by frost deserves to be shot.

The Germans are collecting vast quan-tities of calico, linen, and white materialsto cover the uniforms in the trenches andsupply carts, in the hope that they willbe invisible in the snow. They are alsousing a tripod arrangement, covered withwhite, under which to bivouac unseen byaeroplanes. The Germans have organisedspecial boring detachments to creep for-ward at night and make borings in thefrozen ground, which are afterwards ex-ploded, enabling the soldiers to formtrenches.

LAND FOR RETURNED '

SOLDIERS(FECK OOH OWH COBBBSPONDKHT.)

OAMARU, November 22.A public meeting was held at Ngapara on

Saturday night, under the auspices of thelocal Patriotic Committee, to make repre-sentations to the Government in referenceto the reservation of the Benmore run forsettlement by returned soldiers. -The fit-tendance was very large, and included MrJ. Anstey, M.P. for Waitaki, and Mr E.P. Lee, M.P. for Oamaru. The chair wasoccupied by Mr Y. T. Shand (chairman oftho Ngapara Patriotio Committee), who ex-plained the purpose of the meeting, andmade a strong appeal for consideration forthe men who had for service,and who were engaged fighting for theEmpire. They were there, he said, to raisea protest against the subdivision of Ben-more, pending the termination of the Var,and, if possible, to have it reserved for bal-lot by returned soldiers only.

Mr J. M'Culloch, who moved a resolutionin favour of the reservation for returnedsoldiers, said he knew of young men whowere away fighting, and who had previouslybeen unsuccessful at ballots for small graz-ing runs. They had satisfied the Land Boardas to their suitability as tenants, but be-cause they had volunteered for active ser-vice they nad been excluded from the ballotfor the Omarama runs, and they wouldagain be deprived of their right if the bal-lot for Benmore were proceeded with intheir aibsence. Tfiat was putting a penaltyon patriots, and offering a premium toshirkers.

The proposal received the cordial supportof both the members of Parliament present,though Mr Anstey said that probably bvthe time the ballot came round therewoujdbe enough suitable returned soldiers backin the dominion to take up tho 40 sections,and Mr Lee supplemented this with theopinion that in such an event it would bea pity to ti6 up Benmore for an indefiniteperiod.

The motion -was carried uiKuiimously, andthe following resolutions were also passed:—

"That the Government bo asked to post-pone the settlement of Benmore for twelvemonths."" That no person, -fit and eligible

to volunteer for military service, should bepermitted to apply at the ballot for anyCrown or settlement land, or to have landtransferred to liim till after the war, or tillafter the needs of tho returned soldiers hadbeen fully provided for." ,

It was decided to have the resolutions sentround the district for signature before trans-mission to the Minister of Lands.

Mr W. A. Low, tW well-known theatricalmanager, has enlisted for service with thoreinforcements (says the N.Z. Times). MrLow was formerly a prominent figure inWellington athletic Another theat-rical manager, Mr Alf. Linley, intends toenlist so as to go into camp in February.

Mr Gordon Pettigrew, formerly associatedwith the Dannevirke branch of the NowZealand Loan and Mercantile, will leaveshortly for England, having been acceptedfor eervioe with the Royal Army FlyingCorps (says tho correspondent of thoHawke'sBay Herald). He is tho eighth man fromthe firm's branch there to volunteer foractive service.

A letter from Mr Frank Dance, formerlyaccountant in the Bank of New Zealand atAlexandra, and lately on tho staff of theLondon branch, states (says tho Herald)that ho is out "to do his bit in the struggle."that he took his commission in June, andis now assistant adjutant to his battalion.The Alexandra barnch has therefore two cx-employeea on active service.

NOTES ON THE CABLES.Bz Shbapnku

A RESPITE FOE SERBIA.An official message from Serbia contains

the information that tho main army of ',hoSerbians has defeated the Bulgarians withheavy loss in the •Leskovatz district. Notowns aro mentioned, but the battle musthave been fought west of Leskovatz, whichis a fairly important town on tho Nish-Usknb raihvay. It will be rememberedthat early in the month it was reportedthat the Serbian army was disputingstubbornly every foot of the Bulgarian ad-vance up the valley of a tributary that joinsthe Morava near Leskovatz. The Bul-garians, having met with considerable oppo-sition in this valley, struck directly west-ward with the intention of linking up theirforces' with those of the German generalvon Galhvitz, who had crossed tho Jastre-Batz Mountains, and was advancing downtowards Slatina with tho object of captur-ing Mitrovitza.

The Bulgarians evidently intended to effecta junction with the Germans earlier, butthe Serbians and the weather have beenimpeding the Austro-Germans under vonGallwitz, who is striving to reach tho Labvalley. This valley is drained by the Lab,which is a tributary of the VaSdar. Itdivides the Kapvonik from the Galjakmountains, and between the two ranges isthe best rpad to Prishtina. Cables relatingto Prishtina have been misleading in thelight of the official news regarding the Ser-bian victory. The information conveyed bythem led to the inference that Prishtina.was virtually in the possession of the Bul-garians, and that the main army of the Ser-bians was falling back upon Montenegro andnorthern Albania. Repots from all sourcesseemed to confirm that impression. Bul-garian and German information may havecoloured the successes of the Bulgarians inorder to influence Greece, and mako Italybelieve that it would be too ]ate, and there-fore useless, for her to send men and muni-tions to save the remnants of the Serbianarmy.

The victory which has been gained by theSerbians proves that their reports that theirmain army is still intact, and that it fitillhas most of its guns and ammunition, arereliable. It also suggests that the Serbianforces opposing Generals von Koevessand von Gallwitz aro still in touch, and areoffering an unbroken front to the enemy.Yon Koevess is said to have reached NoviBazar. He had the advantage of being ableto advance up the fairly open Ibar Valley.All the enemy generals are attempting toreach Mitrovitza ancK' Prishtina. Thesetowns are at the head of tho Vardar basinwhich, owing to the arrangements of themountain ranges on the north and east,offers the Serbians a natural strongholdwithin which to retire for their last stand.

The defeat of the Bulgarians, if the battlehas been of sufficient magnitude to makeit-a severe one, will relieve the anxietiesof the Serbians within this quadrangularstronghold. The victory is all the more ad-vantageous to the Serbians, inasmuch' as ithas been fought on the east side, of theKapvonik and Goljak mountain ranges—thatis to say, outside of the natural defences ofthe Upper Vardar basin. The Serbian vic-tory is the more meritorious if, as is pro-bable, it is the- main army under the chiefBulgarian leader, thathas been defeated.

If the Allies could now inflict a defeat onthe- Bulgarians in the Lower Vardar, ~heresults might produce disorder in Bulgaria,and completely alter the> whole complexionof affairs in the Balkans. The Anglo-French . troops may now be able to strikewestward to the relief of the gallant Vaesitzand his liard-pTessed troops. All, he asks foris munitions and bread. He is worth re-lieving, and the alarm in Bulgaria createdby the defeat in the Leskovatz district willcause the Bulgarians to strengthen the Nish-Uskub front at the expense of the southernfront opposite the Allies. To march west-ward to relieve Monastir would not be ofany strategical value, but its achievementwould produoe a very great moral impres-sion and probably help to create a politicalcrisis in Bulgaria and Greece. Thattion would, however, need a Lord Robertsto apprehend its value and recognise theopportunity it offered.

THE SERBIAN ARMY.What the Daily Mail's correspondent in

Paris says with' reference to the positionindicated by the telegrams from the Balkanshas been obvious to all intelligent observers.Though it is too late to save Old Serbia,it is not too; late to save the Serbian army,in which, in spite of the alleged captures bytho enemy, there must be some 200,000 vete-ran and skilled fighters. left. The worst thatcan happen is that they should be driveninto Albania and Montenegro. In that case,however, they could be transported roundto tho front, where they would bea valuable arid no inconsiderable adjunctto the Anglo-French forces. A hold-up ofthe Austro-Germans in Bulgaria would boa serious matter for the Turks and theCentral Powers; as well as for the Bui-'garians. The temper of the Bulgarian agra-rian population is not reliable towards theGovernment of King Ferdinand, and thepeople of the interior will not be disposedto regard with favoHr those Bulgarianstatesmen whose actions have brought upontheir lands and homes the tragedy of war,with ruin and destruction in its wake.

There can be little doubt that Germanyfears that her troops may be held up inBulgaria, and there is a great possibilitythat they will be if Greece does not takesides with the Central Powers. The Bul-garians cannot continue a campaign forany

great length of time, and the CentralPowers do not want to .have to do the fight-ing" in Bulgaria with their own forces. TheAustro-German scheme is to arm the Turks,a nation of fighters, who, well armed, willenable the Central Powers to stave off thehorror of a nightmare that is showing itself—the dwindling resources of man power.

THE ALLIES' ARMED STRENGTH.The story of heavy guns and motor trac-

tors related by the Daily Mail correspondentmay or may not be true; but neither theguns, tho motor tractors, nor the quarterof a million rifles will save the situation ifthe Allies are sudden enough intheir actions. The correspondent ison firm i ground when he saysthat it is absolutely necessary to land300,000 fresh troops immediately on theiEgean littoral. If it is true, as Le Tempssays, that, there are in Egypt large Britishreserves which are being prepared for aninvasion of Syria—a doubtful piece of in-formation,—tho reserves might advantage-ously be sent to the ilSgean in conjunc-tion with fresh forces from France andBritain. Moreover, if Italy -wishes toshorten the period of her difficulties m thenorth-east of that country, \ho should takea strong lead in the operations againstBulgaria. If she does not assist Serbia ortho Allies her relations with Germany mustbe open to question. Her reluctance to de-clare war against Germany and her ex-cuses for not sending troops into Albaniaor Montenegro are strange, varied, andnot understandable. It can only bo sug-gested on her behalf that her active co-operation with the Allies might compli-cate matters with Greece; but Greeco hasnow shown that she deserves little gentlehandling, and, if she desires considerationin respect of her disputes with Italy, shemust either throw over all dealings withtho Central Powers or take the conse-quences and be left out in tho cold whenthe final washing up takes place.

A STRATEGICAL OPPORTUNITY.There is a great chance in Bulgaria now

waiting to bo seized, but the crux of thesituation lies in tho quickness with whichthe belligerents utilise the opportunitiesthat are -offering. If the Allies cdn landsufficient forces on the B'ulgarian littoralbefore tho Bulgars aro through with Serbiatho great scheme of Germany for recover-ing for a time from her doom and for re-cuperating her man-power at tho expenseof tho Balkans will fall through, and oor-

respondingly with tho blow to her chancesof making a rccovory there will ho a greatincreaso in the strategical position of theAllies. Every gain of strength ou tho partof the Allies in the Balkans tends to opena door to tho vital? of the Central PowersThat door ia most easily opened throughSerbia and Rumania, and leads into Hun-gary. . Once Hungary ia threatened withinvasion tiic Austro-Germam opposingGeneral Ivanoff in Gatieia s.ncl Poleeiiimust fall back south of the Carpathians,and tho end of the war would then be insight. The dangerous Polish salien* wouldthen disappear by having ono of its armsdestroyed.

FIRE IN MOTOR GARAGE

EXTENSIVE DAMAGE,

About 5.30 p.m. on Sunday a serious fireoccurred at Bookaert's motor garage inTimaru (says the Herald). Thick volumesot' smoke were seen to be issuing from thebuilding from towards the oil store-rooni.The fire swept through the workshop, ruin-ing two cars which were there under repair.The garage contaired about 26 cars, and asthe wind at the time was from tho nor'-west, the flames were carried from thestarting point riiht down the long build-ing, enveloping, for the most pait, the topsof the cars. 'Jliree cars were burned be-yond repair, and 10 others that were dam-aged) presented a sorry spectacle. The firebrigade was quickly 011 the sccne. and butfor it the damage would have been muchmore extensive. Many willing helpers wereat hand to assist in getting the cars out,and some exciting and hazardous work wasdone. To drive a car when it is on fire wasseen by tho large crowd of spectators whoassembled to be tho reverse of easy andpleasant, but those who undertook it stuckto their work manfully, and were able to

rescue the cars not burned badly enough toprevent their running.

Among tho ears housed in the garagewere a number of privately-owned ones.One was a car which two men had bor-rowed in Oamaru on Sunday morning, in-tending to return that night. The trans-port van used by tho St. John AmbulanceAssociation escaped with a scorching onone side, which will take about £15 to putin order.

One of those who assisted in getting thefire under (Mr J. Nolan) got somewhatbadly burned, and his injuries were attendedto by members of St. John Ambulance,who were present in case they might beneeded.

There were 50 or 60 cases of petrol storedin the garage, and the fire brigade, bykeeping the fire off these, did valuable ser-vice. The damage to the 10 cars is esti-mated at £500 and the three seoond-handcars, which were totally destroyed, werevalued at £600. The damage to tools andstock is estimated at £500. The three carsdestroyed and four of those damaged be-longed to Bockaert's (Limited). The insur-ances on the stock, fittings, and cars was£2700, the Victoria Company having thorisk. The building is owned by MessrsGuinness and LoCren.

THE ZEPPELIN RAIDS.

DAMAGE IN LONDON.

Various letters that have been received inNew /Zealand from England have describedthe damage—none of it of military signifi-cance—that was caused 1 by the Zeppelin raidon London early in September, One resi-dent in London, writing to a friend in Dun-edin, goes into details, showing that a con-siderable amount of damage was done inthe city.

In Margate street, this correspondent says,at least 20 offices and shops, near the bank,had all their windows smashed, the buildingsincluding the premises of the Royal MailSteam Packet Company, two insuranceoffices, and the National Bank of. NewZealand (slightly damaged). A publichouseat the corner of a court between Margatestreet and Coleman street was in ruins. InColeman street, near the Wool Exchange,every window was smashed. The damagecaused in the Liverpool street and Broadstreet district waa enormous, and all trainservices into these streets were somethinglike two hours late. In Aldermanbury, too,considerable damage was done, and in Addlestreet and Silver street the premises of suchwell-known firms as Howard and' Davies, R.H._ H. and S. Rogers.. Glen and Co., Geo.Briggs and Co., and Ward Sturt, and Sharpsuffered severely. In fact, nothing but thewalls of the premises of the three last-namedfirms were left. In Bartholomew close andsquare, close to the Post Office, a great dealof damage was done through huge massesof masonry being hurled in all directions, asthe result of the explosion ,of a bomb whichfell in the middle of the square, making ahole in the ground that ie at least 20ftin diameter.

The correspondent mentions a sad acci-dent connectrd with a previous airraid. "Onefamily left Westcliffe, near Southend, think-ing that they were too near the dangerzone, and came to reside at Leytonstone.The result was that virtually the whole fam-ilv—father, mother, and three children—waskilled, tho baby only being spared. A specialconstable, who visited the remains of thehouse in which the family lived, was leaving,after finding the dead bodies, when he heardthe cries of the babv, lying in a cot thatwas absolutely doubled up."

THE CASE OF DR SIEDEBERG ANDOTHERS.

. TO THE EDITORSir,—The dignified protest of Dr Emily

Siedeberg against the silly rumours whichhave been set afloat in Dunedin about heris very timely. It seems, however, thatthere is more than hysteria at the bottomof them. It must be malice which sets theserumours afloat, and it does very little crediteither to our good sense or to our boastedfairness that these rumours are allowed togrow to such proportions. Men and womenwho have lived here Jong enough' to estal>lish a clean record of good citizenship, andhave never shown any duplicity in theircharacter, are cast under suspicion on ac-count of their German descent, which theycam no more help_ than can our reigningfamily. At this critical period in the historyof the Empire it is very necessary that weshould all pull strongly together, and thoseultra-loyal citizens who take tip an attitudeof hostility towards loyal citizens of Ger-man descent are rendering a poor serviceto tho cause.—I am, etc.,

VALUE OF A SOVEREIGN

AFFECTING THE LIVING WAGE.

NEW SOUTH WALES JUDGE'SDECISION.

Press Association—Br Ta!«(fraph—CopyrightSYDNEY, November 22.

(Received Nov. 22, at .10.50 p.m.)Mr Justice Hoydon has issued a state-

ment regarding the alarming situationcreated by the rapid decrease of the pur-chasing value of a sovereign affecting theliving wage. In his judgment in Febru-ary, 1914, he directed that wages shouldfluctuate according to the purchasing valueof a sovereign. It then cost 23s 6d topurchase what could bo bought in normaltimes for 20s; now it would cost 28s Idto make the same purchases, increasing theliving wage from 48s to 635. Mr JusticeHeydon decided that the resultant in-crease in the cost of living cannot bo metby increased wages, and the obligations ofwages boards under the clause must besuspended. He referred the matter to theGovernment.

(Received Nov. 22, at 10.50 p.m.)John Thomas Tucker, who was sen-

tenced to death for the murder of his wifeand her brother. (Ernest Matheson), hasbeen granted a new trial, on the groundsof alleged insanity.

At the proceedings in the lower court, ac-cused's 15-year-o!d son stated that his fatherwas recently in gaol for not complying witha maintenance order. On returning homehe gained admittance by a wondow. andtied his wife to the bedpost, where she re-mained all night, while he himself slept,also keeping the boy in the room. Mathe-son called next morning, and was admittedby Tucker, who, threatening him with arevolver, made the boy bind Matheson'seyes and hands. Tucker then beat Mathesonon the head with the butt of the revolvertill he waS dead. Tucker returned to bedand slept throughout the day. His boy,worn- out by watching, went to sleep, butwas awakened at night by his mother'scries. He found his father beat'n.Er her, andho continued his fiendish work till she wasdead. Tucker, after shooting himselfthrough tho cheek, went to his sister's resi-dence, and from tliaiv was taken to the hos-pital.

TREATMENT OF NEWZEALANDERS.

COLONEL RHODES'S MISSION.

AN INTERIM REPORT.

(Fro* Our Own Cqrhsßponpkkt.)WELLINGTON, November 22.

A letter has been received by the PrimeMinister from Lieutenant-colonel Rhodes,M.P., who went to Egypt to inquire intothe administration of the New Zealand baseand other matters there. Colonel Rhodes'sletter, which is dated October 13, refers tosome of tho subjects about which he hasyet to report in more detail."Though I have been in Egypt only five

days," he writes, "I have already visitedtho No. 1 Stationary Hospital at Port Said,the Greek Hospital, and tho 21st GeneralHospital at Ras El Tin, Alexandria, alsoLady Godley's Convalescent Home for offi-cers and men. I talked with every NewZeaiander I met in these places, and askedwhether they were being well treated,, andreceived not one complaint about treatment.Tho only complaints were about tho non-delivery* of parcels and letters, and evencn this question opinion were very varied.One has only to visit Egypt to apprecaitethe difficulties of those at the bases. I havealso paid three or four visits to our basedepot, and spent half a day in our recordsoffice and a couple of hours in the basepost office. In Colonel Charters (command-ing tho New Zealand base depot) and MajorFitzherbert (officer commanding records) wehave two capablo officers, who are. I be-lieve, supported by efficient staffs. CaptainGreen (commonly known to the men as" Padre"), of the Salvation Army, is doingsplendid work in visiting our siok andwounded and attending to their wants. Menof all creeds swear by him.' Colonel Esson,another very capable officer, has, I ann sorryto say, been very ill at Malta, but he isnow, I believe, convalescent. I also had thepleasure of spending a couple of hoursaboard our hospital shin the day before shesailed for England. Tho hospital ship, allare agreed, is a credit to New Zealand.Thero is not a better hospital ship in thoMediterranean. I am now endeavouring togo to the Dardanelles."

THE OTAGO ART SOCIETY'SEXHIBITION

ll—SOME OF THE OIL PAINTINGS.

The general standard of the oil paintingsat present being exhibited by the OtagoArt Society is higher than in previous years,but, possibly, for that very reason, (shore arclower pictures which stand out clearlysuperior to the rank and file. The subordi-nation of subject in painting to technique,which has been tho most notable feature illart ■luring the past twenty years, has un-doubtedv produced <irtists who are tettercraftsmen than their forbears, but. exceptpossibly in landscape, it has taken awaymuch of interest to the general public.

This argument, however, can in 110 ecusobo hold to apply to tho work of W. A.Bowring, whoso "Homecoming, from Galli-poli " (6) depends entirely upon its subject.It is quite lacking in sentiment, however,packed with incident, and probably itsfailure to impress is more due to that causethan to any technical shortcoming. Thereis more feeling in his Hiarhani Ngapuhi"(1), which is closer in tone and well modelled,but "Stormy Sunset, _ Napier " (23) is, intho opinion of most judges, his most suc-cessful contribution. In this Mr Bowringis far nearer to conviction than in his figuresubjects—tho thick spray in the air seems tothreaten tho safety of the promenade in away peculiarly charactcrictic of Napier. Theportrait of "Brigadier-general Robin " (98)is very recognisable, but without much tech-nical charm.

Probably the most satisfactory subjectpicture in the gallery is " The Old Sun-downer" (14), by K. Al Ballantyne. Thereis real poetry in tho art which envelops thelandscape and most of the old tramp s bodyin grey lack of interest, whilst his fine headreflects tho glory of the romantic masses ofpiled up clouds illuminated by the_ purpleand gold of the dying day. The artist is tobe congratulated upon this solidly successfulwork. "Summertime" (85) is comparativelya slight composition; in fact, more of aspring effusion, for the landscape is windyand the maidens skip " like lambs." Wesincerely trust that this artist's undoubtedtalents will not be allowed to fritter awayin mere showy cleverness.

N Welch has a picture with almost the■ same title, "Summer" (26), which is asheer delight. It is really an experimentalong the path of scientific colour (statement,of which the great English exponent is

Fred Hall. The sky, for instance, is com-posed of little patches of blue, pink, buff,pale green, etc., which, viewed at the properdistance, yield the exact tint and effect of awarm blue sky seen through a quivering,heated atmosphere. The same method runsthroughout, but Mr Wclch has used suchexcellent iudgmcnt that, to the casual -

mirer, the picture. is simply an unusuallypleasing meadow, where cows graze beneathshimmering trees and everything is bathedin brilliant sunshine. Singularly enough,Mr Welch is known entirely as a_ water-,colourist, but he has undoubtedly given ust.h" b"st landscape in oils of the year._ _

Just beside it is a very notable paintingof a baby, into whose ear the fond motheris whispering "The Secret" (31). Mrs TnP®>whom art lovers used to know a 9 Miss M.E. Richardspn, has been working, we under-stand, in the studio of Ricavd Whiting, andher work, always sound and admirable, hastaken on a character of broad simplicity,which is most interesting. There will be nolack of admirers of either the subject or ofits masterly handling. Its colour is possiblya little drv, but it is consistently so- TheFord, Buehev" (36), by R. Hawcridge suc-cessfully deals with the sunshine- problemon ' purely conventional lines. The horsesrushing through tho river are treated jnspirited fashion, and lend piquancy to a pic-ture which is remarkable for light and forpleasant colour.

W. Menzies Gibb has only three examplesof his work in oils, but each of them isworthy of admiration. "The Fisherman'sWharf, Kaikoura" (13) is a simple at-mospheric transcription of a wharf, fishingboats, and blue sea, but it is unostPntntiouslytruthful, and full of refinement. This latterquality is characteristic, also, of "In the Val-ey, Soldiers' Bay, Auckland" (35). which is

a tender little composition of a hillside withtrees and grey clouds swept into harmoniouslines by an autumn breeze. "Evening, NewBrighton" (30) ;s a delightful examplo in

Mr Gibbs's poetic vein.Miss M. A. Park has several successful

portraits on view, which show her to beworking in mellow colour, and with a largeamount of success. "Portrait" (11) is agood example of flesh painting; in fact, allMiss Park's portraits this year may be saidto show decision and breadth. Very con-vincing, also, is her 'Scottish Landscape(18); and in "Heather Hills" (51) Miss Parkhas contrived to preserve the clear, coolbrilliance of a summer sun shining throughlifting mists.

There is only one C. F. Goldie. in spite ofwould-be imitators, and this year he has sentdown six examples of his work, which fallinto pairs. Although each pair has slightlyvarving charactrrist'cs, all show that won-derfully clcse attention to

_

modelling / anddetail which, however familiarity may stale,is inimitable. The wrinkled, leathery skins,the tatoos, and the greenstone earringsseem in actual relief.

As in his water-colours, W. S. Wauchope soil paintings , show brilliant technique, buttoo little natural conviction. " A Pastoral,Near Timaru" (5),. though clever, Jacksluminosity and seems flat. His originalcomposition. "Twilight Grey" (42), is muchmore successful because frankly imaginary.C. F. Kelly, too, is more satisfying in hiscandidly decorative " The Landing Stage"(127). with its delightful srrey compoundedof pinks and greens and blues, than in hislartre " A Canterbury Pastoral" (66). wherethere is a strange sense of insecurity andinequality of surface.

Mrs Kelly's deep feeling: and refinementoro evidenced in "Winter"' (30). a lady inmuff and furs, and in "The Poem" (169),in both of which a little cleaner colourwould have won tho wide appreciation towhich tfheir other merits entitle them. MrsKelly's colour is by no means lacking invariety and refinement, but,. in a gallerywhere vivid hues prevail, too low a tone isapt to lend an appearance of dinginess. M.'jArndt's deliberate choice of such unrelieveddirtiness of colour in "Homewards" (175) \is remarkable.

l£. Fristrom, of Auckland, has < about adozen pictures in this section. Rich colour

' and free treatment are the chief virtuesof his work. Mr Frstrom ha.t a profes-sional sureness of hand which lifts his workclear of mediocrity, but in the desire tbobtain rich colour in his middle values hepushes himself into blackness for hisshadows. Wo are most impressed by "A.Grey Day. Silverstream. Wellington" (123),in which the trees are well massed, there isgood atmosphere' and broad, solid brush-work. The colour and sentiment of thispicture are attractive

R. Wallwork's seven contributions must,of course, all be treated seriously as thework of a _ thoroughly trained and accom-plished artist. "Among the Rocks, Kai-koura" (2) is a clever study of movingwater, in which the green waves swirlstealthilv among the brown rocks. It showsMr Wallwork at his ibest, as a student ofNature, observant and sure of hand. Hisnatural bias towards composition "per se"often leads him to neglect to fortify hisclover arrangements with studied fact, andwe get the inequalities which are so obviousin his large canvas, "Plotters" (147). Inthis painting, well conceived, finely grouped,and possessing clever colour arrangements,,there is no pretence at form or individual-ity in_ the conspirators introduced, so that,in spite of the undoubted appeal of theartful composition, there is little or nothingto sustain interest in the picture or to ex-plain its story. "A Wet Evening, Akaroa"(157). on the other hand, making no pre-tence at being _ anything but a colour im-pression, is delightfully suggestive. Of MrWallwork's other paintings, "An Oxford-shire Lane" (89) is tho most successful com-position, though "The Farmer's Lass" (75)is bright, well modelled, and appealing.

"Drifting, Lyttelton Harbour," (47) pos-sesses qualities of light, and is painted witha daring which, being successful, does thehighest credit to IT. H. Pattle. The com-position is a familiar one, but t.he treatmentis bold and telling, the sunshine being ex-cellently maintained.

G. W. Carrington, although not so pro-minent this year as on many former occa-sions. exhibits five excellent examples of hiswell-known style. Of these, "DiamondLake" (65) will probably be most popular,on account of its bright scheme and theartist's excellent manipulation of light.There is a good suggestion of tho warmatmosphere immediately following the sun'sgoing down in his "Tributary of the Dart"(126). and a real sense'of sunshine in thesmall sketch "The Cliffs. St. Clair" (37).

A. S. Wood's contributions this yearwill not appeal to his admirers with theirusual force. His comparative failure with"The Last Rays of Evening" (132) is, how-ever, a promise of a somewhat new develop-ment. Tn its present stage it is like the "layin" of a picture, suggesting suib-tones in-tended to exert a powerful influence onsuner-imposed tints There is interestingcolour suggestion in "Landscape" (34). F.R.. Brown's one little contribution, "Quiet-ness" (28). shows that he is still successfullystudying colour hnrmony, and J. TI. Oliveris to be distinctly complimented on "ASh-'dH Pathway" (33).

It is many years since a Dunedin gallerycontained examples of J. D. Perrett's .work.;,

but it is as easily recognisable as ever.Probably the most telling of his contribu-tions will prove to be ' "Sunrise, MountCook" (61), in which the effect of warmlight and cold atmosphere ifi nicely con-trasted. Another welcome revival is thatof E. B. Hayward, who has added consider-ably to the topical interest of the exhibitionby his "Empress of Ireland" (151) and"All's Well, (Hospital Ship) Maheno" (165),a pair of large and striking canvases. Theill-fated pa/senger ship is painted with thesure knowledge of form of the expert sea-man, and artistically it conveys an excel-lent impression of the bulk of a leviathanliner. Although not quite so successful asthe Canadian boat, the "Maheno" has de-cided picture qualities, besides coming at atime when the thoughts of every Britonare centred on our ships and their welfare.Wo are not surprised that Mr Hay ward'snautical affections should be stirred, andthat he should burst into song in the know-ledge that he, aleo, has sailed in Britishships and known the pride of a ruler ofthe waves. W. Q. Wakelin's study of ahead, "Thelma" (58), shows an excellentgrasp of form, and an improved handlingof brush and colour problema There isundoubted promise, also, in "Meditation"(162).

F.. Brookeemith, F.N.8.A., in commonwith one or two other artists, suffer?through lack of harmony with the prevail-ing colour key of the exhibits generally.Like that of F. Sedgwick, his work isgenerally far too cold for the gallery, and,in consequence, fails to obtain the recogni-tion to which other good qualities shouldentitlo it. The excellencies of "GleamyDay After the Rain" (95) are quite obscuredby the general dinginees of impression con-veyed. So in F. Sedgwick's "AutumnBrown and Gold" (8), whatever effect mayhave been conveyed in the artist's ownstudio, the sense of warmth and richnessconveyed in the title are entirely absentfrofn the pioture in its present surroundings.

Quite an old world flavour hangs aboutthe work of J. Balfour. "Haymaking" (16)is juicy in colour, and well arranged. "Onthe Selwyn Rver" (46) shows ■willows,fisherman, and boat in pleasant tone, andpainted in the height of the. style for 40years ago. With the execption of "IrishFishing Port" (57), Mr Balfour's work is byno means to be despised, but may be dwelton with considerable pleasure by the dis-criminating.

A. H. Dunstan has lent interest to hissketch of "Th'e Cliffs, St. Clair," andshown. considorable draughtsmanship in hisrendering. H. R. Cole, though not exhibit-ing his usual large canvases, is makingsteady progress, and has ,some interestingwork to his credit. Of the flower paintings,Mrs Tripe's "Purple and Gold" (149) and"Roses" (159), by M. L. D. Hutton. arefar the most interesting. A word of ac-knowledgement of points of meritoriousdrawing in "Hot Swimming Bath, Wai-rakei" (97) is due to Mrs P. L. Ritchie.

LAKE COUNTY A. AND P.SOCIETY.

ANNUAL SHOW.

The twelfth annual show under the aus-pices of the Lake County Agricultural andPastoral Society, took place at Lake Hayeson Thursday. The weather conditionswere perfect, and although the attendancewas slightly below the average of recentyears, all parts of the district were wellrepresented. There was limited competi-tion in the cattle and draught horse sec-tions, but the hackney classes filled exceed-ingly well, the weight-carrying hacks beingthe feature of the show. With the excep-tion of the classes for croesbreds there wasnot much competition in the sheep section,but some very nice pens of fat stock wereexhibited. The dairy produce and domes-tio sections attracted large entries, and thequality of. the exhibits elicited very highencomiums from Mr Sawers, of Invercargill,who acted as judge.

AMUSEMENTS

PRINCESS THEATRE.What was to all intents and purposes a

now company made its appearance at thePrincess Theatre last evening in a vaude-ville programme of very considerable mcnt.The tastes of all had been catered for, andthere was 110 palpable weakness noticeableanywhere. Though not among those tomake a first appearance, Herbert Brooks,in his clean and clever manipulation ofplaying cartas and his escape from,a steel trunk, still holds a loading P*?ce in

the company, and his act is one of thestrongest presented. The operatic duettists,Pollard and Jackson, provided some excol-lent vocal music, the cream of which wasprobably the gentleman's singing, to hisown accompaniment, of "Take a Pair otSparkling Eyes" and other ballads, whichhe treated very artistically. A semi-ragtimeduet with the lady was also a clever con-tribution. The lady sang "II Bacio quitesuccessfully, and the two closed a goodmusical turn with some of the mnsic_fromthe prison scen4 in "II Trovatore. 1 11 Jtsline the comedy acrobatic act of Do Garwas one of the best items put forward. DoOar is an exceptionally clever tumbler, andis very humorous in everything he does.TTie cries of animals and birds were adnjir-ably imitated by Bcllora, the imitations be-ing apparently given without artificial aidof any kind. No doubt there were thosepresent in the audiencc to whom the criesof Australian animals are not familiar, butit was obvious that many in the theatrerecognised the cries of birds and beasts asgiven by Bellora to bo perfect imitations.Con 3'loreni .gave several character sketchesverv cleverly, proWibly his representation ofthe"ltalian fruit-seller being as good as any-thing he did. He created'much amusementin his description of his experiences on thefootball field, and enlivened the programmevery considerably. Ford and Davis made Itheir first bid for popularity, and were suc-cessful in the direction of musical _ comedy,and Vernon and Sinclair maintained thereputation t*hey had established for thorn-selves as comedians in an amusing littlelaughing sketch. The reappearance of Dele-vale and Gilbert in military burlesque workcompleted the entertainment. HerbertBrooks announced that he would submit onFriday evening to'being enclosed in a boxbuilt "on the etage by outside agency, fromwhich he undertakes to free himself within15 minutes, and that he would on anotheroccasion, at the Grand Hotel, remain in

his own trunk for the space of two hours—from 11 a.m. to 1 p.in.,—a feat ithat is saidto be regarded by medical men as impos-sible in such confined quarters.

HAYWARD'S PICTURES.The capital way in -which "Uncle Tom's

Cabin" was presented at the Octagon thea-tre last evening should be sufficient guaran-tee of good audiences during the briefperiod for'which the film is to be shown.As a story of the plantations no book has

, ever appealed so much to lovers of justiceas Mrs Harriet Beficher Stowes springindictment of the slavery in America Thosedays of elavedom are long past, but thebook always awakens fond memories anwngvoung and old, and doubtless will continueto do so as. generations come and go."Uncle Tom's Cabin" has been seen .nmotion pictures before, but, not with thesame attention to detail and atmosphere asis shown in the new-film, and it is notsurprising that, the producers, the WorldFilm Company, should state that this is themoat cxpensivo work yet issued tbv them."Uncle Tom is the same sad old fellow, andhis love for tho pale-faced child Eva is oneof the roost touching features of the story.Then the child of nature, Topsy, who tracedher ancestrv back no further than to thetime when she began to "ju<=t grow, andthe devoted mother, Eliza, who fled aorossthe ice to save her child from the brutalityof the slave drivers,' are two characters

• which leave a lasting impression whenevertho story is read or produced_on the him.The character of Uriple Tom is very faith-fullv drawn, and a dover child actress playsEva remarkably well. The setting of thestory is beautiful, some of the autumnscenes and views of .mountain Grandeur be-ing glorious. The pleasure of witnessing

the film is increased by the vocal efforts ota quartet party. Messrs Drake. J. Leach, w.Gemmell. and A. J. Green, who sing someof the old plantation melodies very accept-ably. Among the other pictures on theprogramme is a laboratory scene, depicting

the production of asphyxiating gas, a pic-ture which, besides being highly instructive,is particularly interesting just now. theGaumont Graphio with interesting events atHome; a beautiful scenic from the town ot

•' Soller, in the Balearic Isles (MediterraneanSrti);'and "Cartoons on Tour" ( a cleverEdison comedy) complete the programme.The bill will be repeated throughout theweek. , ' -

QUEEN'S THEATRE. /,

The Queen's Theatre Proprietary presentsfor the earlier, portion ■of the week theseventh, instalment pf "The Million DollarMystery," the' direct ,'title of which is

"DoOm of the Auto Bandits." In' thisparticular section of an interesting series ofpictures tho:, conspirators securer-, the aid ofthe auto bandits, work out ' a cunningscheme, and take Florence" prisoner, butNorton, discovering, her disappearance, fol-lows her. and, single handed, attacks anddefeats the bandits, and causes their auto ,tofail over, an embankment' into a river."Dirty Work in a Laundry" is an exceed-ingly amusing comedy, and most of, thescenes take, place within the business pre-mises. Much fun is caused by the free useof tho equipment and machinery, and thereis a spirited chase, in -the course of whichone of tho actol-s leaps from a motor cycleinto an auto, while'both vehicles are goingat high &peed>- "Outey's Sister' i's anotherhighly diverting film, awl illustrates howa* collegian named Cutey Cartwright- set towork to obtain an introduction to thesistersof his college mate?, a privilege they ex-hibit a determination not to JfrSnt. •: Headopts the pldp of palming off thegraph of a. very beautiful afctress: as that: of.his sister, arid all the students immediatelybecome wild for an introduction, arid inorder, to obtain it they introduce Cutey totheir sisters. Then follows the falling inlove of Cutey and Alice, the sister of oneof the students, the students meantime bpingsatisfied to worship Cutey's sister at a dis-tance. They send her sweetmeats andflowers, all of which are supposed to be dulydelivered by Cutey. The humour gets to'its height when the beautiful actress un-expectedly appears on the scene. There is,a good deal of trouble as a consequenceof her arrival, and matters seem to be go-ing very badly for Cutey, but a turn inthe state of affairs favours him. and ■hewriggles through safely and ' wins Alice.There is also an interesting copy of thePathe Gazette in tho programme, which willbe repeated to-day.

PLAZA PICTURES.Variety is an outstanding feature of the

now series of pictures shown yesterday atthe Plaza Theatre, and interest is sustainedthroughout . its course without consciouseffort. The principal drama is entitled"The Fortunes of Mariana," and the Storytold depicts the life-history of a_ young girlin a tale that pulsates with .vivid and tira-matio interest. Mariana, an orphan and atypical child .of the streets, who sells news-papers for'a living, one evening accidentallyencounters Northrup, a rising young attor-ney, and they becomo friends. With .aview to improving Mariana's position,Northrup induces his sister, Mrs Lacey, toengage her as a maid in her home. In themidst of . her rew-found happiness, how-ever, she is followed by. Hinky, her pick-pocket' brother; and he forces permissionfrom, her to enter the house and rob it.On the night of the robbery Northrup sur-prises both Hinky and Mariana, in' themidst of the theft. ■ Hinky, bewildered,lires a shot, and when tho smoke .clearsaway Northrup is lying on tho floorwounded. Tho pickpocket escapes, butMariana remains to aid Northrup, and onthe arrival of the police they both denyany knowledge of the shooting. Mariana,feeling she cannot impose any longer ontho kindness of her friends, leaves hersituation, but cix months later sho is themeans of freeing Northrup from a con-spiracy in whiah tho redoubtable Hinkytook a prominent part, and his gratitudetakes the more tangible form of love,"lien Minutes in India," "Islands ofVenice," and '"Die Land of PeacefulMornings" are three beautiful scenic sub-jects, while "The Singing Dog" (oomcdy)and "Whose the Shame?" (a drama) com-plete the series, which will bo. screenedto-'day.

KING EDWARD THEATRE.In nothing are picture-producers more

successful and satisfactory at the presenttime than in depicting tho story pf somegreat book that has won lame by itscleverness and truth to life. Such a trulygreat book undoubtedly is "Uncle Tom'sCabin," for which it may be well claimedthat no other American book has ever wonsuch a wide circle of admirers or exercisedsuch a powerful influence in the world.Those who know the stov best aleady willbe among the most anxious to see it again.A very satisfatory dramatisation of it by theWorld Film Corporation forms the chieffeature of the new programme presentedat the King Edward Theatre last evening.Tho story is too familiar to need repeti-tion in any English-speaking country.Suffice it to say that patrons have broughtbefore them very realistio impersonations

of "Topsy," that immortal child'of Nature, , yof sweet little Eva, of Simon Legreo, thetypo of the brutal slave owner at his i

worst, of grand old Uncle Tom himself, . 'of Eliza, and many another whose names ""5recall pleasant and soul-stirring memories.This central attraction is supported by anunusually large array of really good pio-tures. In one tho method of manufactureand the uso of asphyxiating gases in war- !.

fare is fully illustrated. Another is_ aseries of cleverly-drawn and most amusing ~,

cartoons. Another is a beautiful scenic pic-ture of tho island of Soller, in the Balearicarchipelago. The Gaumont Graphic, .asusual, supplies a fund of interesting and %

valuable information on recent topics, and tthere is also included in tho series a dramaand one of the ever-popular Keystone come-dies. This programme will be shown again. yto-night from 6.50 onwards, only a verysmall portion of it being repeated before ;closing time. : 4

GRAND THEATRE..Tho Players' Company has a reputation

for its magnificent productions, and it isa reputation that it cannot and does not risklosing "Wildflower," which was the prin-cipal item on the new programme at theGrand Theatre yesterday, is ohe of the bestit has yet produced. It is rendered speci-ally attractive by the fact that it was taken 1 »

aniid beautiful scenery, and from this pointof view alone it ie well worth seeing. Wild-flower is an unsophisticated country maid?n.She pays frequent visits to the summercamp of a wealthy city man, who takes agreat interest in her. He is recalled to thocity owing to the sudden death of his father,and finds his ne'er-do-weel brother in pos-session of the home. The latter has mar-ried an undesirable woman, who drinks, andtho marriage has been kept secret fromeveryone but the other brother, John, whoaccidentally learns of William's unfortunatechoice. John takes William to his camp \to reform him, and William sees Wildflower ,

there, and induces her to run away to town ■~-Q,with him. There he contracts a bigamousmarriage with her, concealing his formermatrimonial venture. John, hearing of the "t ,

matter, rushes to town and rescues the girl,very much against her will, however, as she ,has fallen in love with William. Ho then.takes her back to the camp, where thoneighbours, having learnt of her adventure, ' .regard her with scorn and distress her verydeeply. John nobly protects her from - -fitheir petty annoyances, and in the end she ■■ rcomes to love him. The Tesult is inevit-able. The film. is full of interest through-out, the acting is verv fine, and the pbdto- » :

fjraphy is superlatively good. The EclairJournal illustrates the' latest happenings allover the world, and "The Toreador" te a,

most amusing comedy. The programme -will . tv?be repeated to-day t'

EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. ,

The proprietors of Everybody's'Theatre ■, sare going the right way abcut getting the „.f!people—by showing the best and' most up-to-date pictures. A drama of unusual excel- ,',lence is " Mother," the star film of the new ..

series, shown for the first time yesterday. jThe heroine is the head of a family of six s

children—four grown-up boys and girls and I■£two little boys. < ■ She _is a plain, little . ,woman, whoso whole life is in her home aijd ,y \

children. At her husband's death she finds -'-.fherself with money enough to rear her, off- , -yjspring in comfort. But the boys have been ■>spoiled, and for years before the opening,of the play the elder son has run away and _,married a chorus girl,"whose tastes run to'costly dinners, imported gowne, and jnotof - \ -nrides.' He "has wasted his share of hisfather's estate, against which he has bor-rowed money, and to meet the extravagant, v,'demands of his wif-j he has stolen from hisemployers. He forges his mothers name'to a note for a large sum, and whenbroughtface to face with the facts he threatens.iokill himself. His mother comes _to the >

rescue, and calmly states that the signature - ■;.to the forged note is her own. Her secondson is caught in the toils of another chorussirl, the sister of the eldest son s wire. Ahe . \

mother saves her first-born, and--<Jraws him ' rto her home again by her sacrifices, - while 1 , gher second son is also saved fronj thewoman who would waste liis patrimony byMrs Wetherell's clever work of appearing asa slattern in the eyes of the girl with ex-travagant tastes. Her daughters love aftairaare also set right by the mother, while .shedoes not neglect the younger children andtheir fun. Mrs Wetherell sums up the ; ridea of motherhood in her all-embrac*ngilove, which does not permit any harm to vv£come to her children, even though its pre-vention means suffering and expense to her •personally. The supporting pictures are ex-cellont. The programme will be repeated >,3

THE FIGHTING BLOOD■ 5 X

A YOUNG GIRL'S REQUEST.The fighting spirit of her forefathers has

impelled a youngNew Zealand'girl to- wrrtoto th 3 Defenco Minister and offer herselffor active service abroad. "I hay® been in- y jtendinir for a good while to write to you jorT this very serious subject," she states m jher letter to the Minister „ - - j

"I am very anxious, she continues, toknow whether I tnd others can go to thewar and fight in the, trenches, and I amnoeitivo we would not disgrace our country.If only you would give the girls a chancowhat a name little New Zealand would get i*—sending its girls to fight! People would •say we were mad, but we would soon proveour worth, and mit those admirable shirkers .in the shade." She suggests taking a mit- ,able number of country girls and putting ~,

them through military training of a severekind. There would be good results.- Sheherself was a big girl, 20 years old, weigh- ving 10 stone, and not afraid of anything ;

could ride almost anything, and had done a ~

little shooting. One brother _ was away atthe front and another was going m the 9th .Reinforcements. She ] leaded for a chance .and threatened to pester the Minister unless . ~it was given her. She had intended gettinga healthy young fellow to pass the doctor,,and then go herself, in hi, fihawould yet, if not allowed to go! Motheris quite agreeable, and tells me.every day

she wishes she could send me. . . . I A'would go for nothing a day—l would dothat much for dear old New Zealand. '

The Minister sent a sympathetic reply,appreciating the splendid spirit prompting ,the girl, but saying the regulations were j*against her. He iilso didn t want their only -vremaining privilege to pass away from our ■ t

young men—that of fighting for the womenend children of the Empire. ■

When tho Government offered £5000 amonth for Home and Belgian relief anda subsidy of pound for pound on publiccontributions to an equal amount pro ratafrom each province, Canterbury adopted asystem of providing its quota through thelocal bodies rate funds. The Soutth Canter-bury bodies havo regularly sent contribu-tions to Christchurch. It became knowuthat some of the North Canterbury bodice,including tho Christchurch City Council, hadnot kept up their monthly payments. Atthe instance of the Waimate County Coun-cil a conference of representatives of localbodies was held to-day to consider thomatter. The idea .prevails in Waimate thatthe largo sum sent to Christchurch beforethe quota schemo was adopted is being usedto make good the Christchurch default.

MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS.AN EXPLANATION.

(Peb United Pbess Association.)WELLINGTON, November 22.

In a statement to a Post representativeregarding tho rejection of men at Trenthampreviously passed as fit, Surgeon-generalHenderson explained that this was duelargely to the following causes:—Men im-personating others passed as fit; develop-ment of illness after tho preliminary dis-trict examination; men previously rejectedfrom camp concealing their defects andb6ing passed again into .camp; and also tothe inexperience of some doctors as to therequirements for recruits. Surgeon-generalHenderson pointed out that the percentageof rejects in such cases was very small,amounting to only a little more than 1 percent. Steps were being taken to reduceeven this, as far as possible, by informingexaminers that they must 6trictly adhere tothe regulations, and also by preventingimpersonation.

Private Parnum gave lisreasons for this. He said that the islandof Upolu, on which the garrison was sta-tioned, was 40 miles long by about ninemiles broad.

Y.M.C.A. WORK IN EGYPT.AMONG THE TROOPS. , '

AN APPEAL FROM GALLIPOLI*

Mr A. B. Pursell, of Sydney, who hasrecently returned from Europe and America,was interviewed by the' Sydney MorningHerald on November-3 regarding the workof the Y.M.C.A., among the troops. Hehad been ■ specially requested by theNational Council of the Y.M.C. Associa-tions in the United Kingdom, and by MrJ. J. Virgo (the general secretary of thoLondon Central Y.M.C. A.) to make strongrepresentations ae to the urgent need forthe extension of their work in Egypt, Malta,and GaUipoli. ' The National Council is atpresent working a thousand military, am-munition. and munition, centres. Up to thopresent the burden of the work for theAustralian and New . Zealand troops hasfallen almost wholly upon the BritishNational Council, whose budget for thocoming year is no less than £250,000. Aus-tralasia has done a little, but must do agreat deal more. Mr Virgo, Who recentlyvisited Egypt, said that the temptations toour soldiers, are terrible. They arrive freshfrom home influences, and/\are at oncebrought faco to face with serious tempta-tions to moral ruin. It is .imperative thatthe Y.M.C.A. provide an effective counter-influence in their- 'social and recreationcentres.. Winter is already setting in inGallipoli, and the men will have to endureunspeakable hardships on that wind-sweptpeninsula.. Y.M.C.A. huts will-be a veri-table Godsend to aur soldiers. TheY.MC.A.men ,'aro prepared to work under fire aslong as they can . minister to tho needs ofour gallant men.

The Army and. Navy leaders aro loud intheir praises of the work which the associa-tion has done for the troops. Sir lanHamilton, the late commander-in-chief attho Dardanelles, wrote:—"You and yoNrassociation seem to be truly hitting the nailon the head in working for the pood of oursoldier lads, one and all. I have watchedthe Y.M.C.A. procedure at many camps, ]and have' found it exactly adapted to tho jwants of a large number of young menaway from their homes and normal as-sociations."

Brigadier-general Thomas, Commandingthe 78th Infantry, said in June last, at aY.M.C.A. hut opening:—"None of themhad fully realised the enormous amount ofwork that tho Y.M.C.A. was doing for thosoldiers. It was looking after their men, notonly in Great Britain and Ireland, but inFrance, India, Egypt, and South Africa."

The Lords of the Admiralty showed theirappreciation of-the work of the Y.M.C.A.at Rosyth by giving a large contributiontowards tho cost of the building, whilst thoBritish GovernVnent lias contributed £25,000to the building of Y.M.C.A. hutments.

The military and other authorities inEgypt aro keenly alive to tho good workof the Y.M.C.A. _ among the troops. Astrong Egypt National Committee for theY.M.C.A. war work has been formed, > andSir Henry M'Mahon, the High Commis-sioner, and the British Ambassador, has ac-cepted the chairmanship. Other membersinclude Lieutenant-general Sir John G.Maxwell, in command of the "British forcesin _ Egypt, Sir Reginald Oakes, ColonelPridmore, Colonel Eldgood, . and CaptainTrumper. Three of the princinal men inCairo in connection, with the Governmentadministration are members of the FinanceCommittee.

General Maxwell told Mr Virgo that howas very anxious for the Y.M.C.A. to fol-low the men to the Dardanelles, and that,as soon as tho base was established, theywould be allowed to go. Since then threecentres have been open there. The militaryauthorities at Gallipoli have their handsmore than full, and the Y.M.C.A. willprove an unspeakable blessing

Nto tho men

there.In view of tho above facts, the National

of Y.M.C.A.'s in New Zealand,which is composed; of prominent businessmen in the various centres of the dominion,has, after mature consideration, decidedthat it is'necessary: (1) To remit a sum ofat least £1000 monthly to the headquartersin Egypt; and (2) to raise at the earliestpossible _ opportunity a sum of £10,000 fortho capital expenditure on hutments, can-teene, and equipment.

The Island of Mflidros urgently needs 10buildings, costing £350 each, and one build-ing, to cost £1750. Malta has at present•only two centres, and is urgently in needof many more, Gallipoli has three oent.resin the base camps, working in tents. Thework hero must be extended. The need isurgent.

One thing tho people of New Zealandcan <be assured of: That the National Com- ■mittee in Egypt is composed of men of Michhigh standing and ability that,all funds re-mitted to t)iem will bo administered so asto meet the immediate need* of our soldierswith the utmost possible economy.

WAR PROFITS. .

PROPOSAL TO HELP RETURNEDSOLDIERS.

, (Fbom Our Own Coeeespondent.)OAMARTJ, November 22.

When the business immediately beforethe public meeting was concluded on Satur-day night Mr Y. T. Shand, the chairman ofthe local Patriotic Committee, ! invited thefanners generally to consider a proposal hehad to submit. That proposal was thatfarmers ! generally' should agree to handover to a public fund what he designatedtheir war profits, tho interpretation given tothe term being the increased price given to.wool and other produce by tho war. His,main thought was to provide a fund .whichwould enablo returned soldiers who had thonecessary knowledge and the experience,but not the financial means, to enter theballot for the Benmore rims He, however,did not wish to have the fund tied downto that single purpose, but expressed him-self as being content if tho main purposewere served—if it were agreed to "devotethe whole war profits to any purpose, asfax as they would go, for the benefit of the

returned men." It need not wholly, 'oreven in part, be applied to helping menon the land. What he asked was that,.they'should say that the money would be handedover, and afterwards decide how it shouldbe used. In support of his proposal, heargued that these war profits came to thosewho received them, not because of any'efforts of their own,-, but because of therisk by others of their lives He said thatho was merely an'average farmer, takingthe luck of a good or a bad season, but i,f

.he thought that because of the benefits ofa free country and' the open sea secured tous by those men who were fighting, he wasputting extra profits into his pocket, hewould feel * that he could not meet and wel-come the men on their return, nor couldho with a clear conscience offer the handof friendship to the fathers or mothers ofthese men. Mr Shand stated that the ad-vance in the price of wool meant increasedprofits amounting to two millions, and heasked: "What risk have tho growers takenfor those two millions?" ; Personally, hoestimated that he would receive 'from £150to £200 as war profits, and ho was readyto hand over the whole of the money, theperiod being i'rom August until- August ofnext year.

Tho .meeting ■ listened, attentively to thoproposal, but took' no action: Mr" Shand,however, did not seek action, but .askedhis hearers to turn the thing over quietlyin .their minds, and see if they could notview tho matter from the same viewpointas himself.

RELIEF FOR WOUNDED AND SICKSOLDIERS.

TO THE. EDITOR-,Sik,—l read with great interest and satis-

faction Mr P. R. Sargood's admirable let-ter in your issue of Saturday, and I haveno doubt the Otago Committee will gladlytake steps in the direction of making ade-quate provision for our wounded and sicksoldiers wherever they may be.I desire at this stage to put in an appeal

to the Otago Committee to use its power-ful influence to bring about an effectivesystem of co-operation between all the patri-otic committees in New Zealand and of co-ordination of their various energies. Noone can measure tho loss occasioned by thelack of such co-operation and co-ordination,or the amount of overlapping and wastethat has taken place and is still taking placefrom the same cause. a

I enclose copy of a memo. I addressedsome time a.go to tho chairman of theSouthland Patriotic Committee, and as itoutlines the scheme proposed, and has beenapproved and endorsed by- our chairman, .T.trust.you mav find room to print, it at ttiofoot of this letter.

A conference was held in Wellington lastFriday at the instance of the Minister ofInternal Affairs, but time did not permit .of this all-important question being dis-cussed. Tho Otago Committee naturally"carries more weight than the. SouthlandCommittee, and if the Otago Committeowill take this matter up, with a view tosecuring- the co-operation of the other prin-cipal provincial committees in Christchurch.Wellington, and Auckland, I am convincedthey■■ Will lay the whole dominion, and inparticular the wounded and sick soldiersand their rolatives and dependents, undera lasting debt of gratitude to them, and Ihave no hesitation in saying that I' amsatisfied tho Southland Committee willgladly back them uc to the utmost of its.ability.

Obviously, the first move should be for theOtago Committee to invite the. NorthOtago, Soutliland, and any other local com-mittees south of the Waitaki to attend aconference in Dunedin to secure co-opera-tion and co-ordination between all the com-mittees in that territory I understand it-has practically been decided to do this, andno time should bo lost in carrying it* out

At the same time, it shouldi be suggestedto Christchurch, Wellington, and Aucklandto take similar action in their respectivedistricts, and, once these are organised, thena dominion conference should be called inWellington of delegates from the four chiefcentres, and probably it would bo found, de-sirable to constitute a dominion executive,comprising' the chairmen of tho Dunedin,Christchurch, Wellington, and AucklandCommittees.

Tho need is urgent, for only by unitedaction can adequate measures of relief beorganised and carried out, and only by co-operation can waste, overlapping, and con-fusion be obviated'.—l am, etc.,

J. E. WatsonInvercargill, November 22.

Tho following are tho terms of the memo,to which Mr Watson refers in the aboveletter:— «

It is, I think, urgently desirable andnecessary that a conference of representa-tives ■of all patriotic committees in New, IZealand should be held as- early as yca-

sible—say, in Wellington—to arrange forunited notion and co-operation in the fol-lowing mutters, inter alia: —

1. Gilts for soldiers, clothing, foodstuffs,tobacco, comforts, luxuries, etc.

(a) A list of articles ncccssary or do-sirablo should be furnished by the defenceauthorities, together with typo samples ofoacli article. (This refers to articles ofclothing to bo made bv Ladies' Commit-tee )

(b) Tho practice of sending such giftsto particular units or to soldiers from par-ticular districts should cease. Unquestion-ably it increases the difficulty of deliveryenormously, and, further, it results in un-even and differential treatment of tiie sol-diers, which is very undesirable. All sucligifts should' bo sent to dcfenco stores inWellington and issued by defence authori-ties to all ranks where and when re-quired—i.e.. in camp, on transport, inEgypt, at tho front, or in hospital.

This is the only way to ensure thatevery man will .get the same as his mate,and that no one will be left out.2. Chaplains' fund for relief of wounded

and sick soldiersA chaplains' fund should be established

by contributions from all patriotic com-mittees based on a quota correspondingapproximately to tho relative number otsoldiers that have gone to tho front fromcach district.

This fund should be under the controlof a central chaplains' committee—say, in'Wellington,—representing all denomina-tions. An cxocutivp committee of chap-lains might bo appointed in Cairo orAlexandria, with a branch account thereon which' the executive committee coulddraw, and from which funds could besupplied to chaplains at outlying poinriiiuch us Malta, Lcmnos, etc.

Tho executive committee in Egyptwould report to the central committee inWellington, and apply to the latter whenfunds required replenishing. Then thecentral committee could apply to patrioticcommittees.3. Relief and assistance and provision of

comforts for wounded, sick', and convales-cent New Zealand soldiers in England.

Up to tho present all this has been pro-vided by generous New Zealanders andfriends in United Kingdom, but the re-quirements arc growing so rapidly thathelp must bo sent from New ZealandThe conference should take this matterup and put it on a proper footing. Fundsshould bo contributed by all tho patrioticcommittees m New Zealand, and prob-ably tho best plan would be to ask LordPlunket's committee in London to undc/- "take the administration of such funds. '

4-. Local relief.The conference might witli great ad-vantage discuss measures and methods oi

local relief—safeguards to prevent over-lapping/or imposition such as has alreadytaken place in Australia. Exchanging,lists of cases dealt with. Mutual assist-ance of committees in making and fur-nishing inquiries.5. Discharged Soldiers' Fund. ' :

Conference could also discuss this, andarrange for as much co-operation as pas-sible.No doubt thero arc other matters that

could be profitably discussed, but the aboveare urgent, and I think the chairman of th>Wellington Patriotic Committee should calla conference as early a.s possible of chair-men-secretaries andnot more than one otherdelegate from each committee. If too largethe conference will exhaust itself in talk.

NEW ZEALAND AND THE WAR.TO THE EDITOH.

Sir,—Mr Maesey and Sir Joseph Wardwill shortly bo IcVying for London to re-present Now Zealand at the Imperial Con-ference.. They will give expression to ourloyalty to tho Homo Country and the Em-pire, aJid our determinationto do our utmostto help to bring the war to a successfulissue. They will _ also probably give ex-pression to our wishes with regard to thesettlement after the war, Is it not cjesirablothat they should also ,bo in a position tooffer, on bahalf of New Zealand, to bear afair share of. tho cost of the war? NewZealand, with one million inhabitants, re-presents about one-sixtieth of the popula-tion of the self-governing portion" of thoEmpire. A voluntary offer to boar one-sixtieth'' of the cost of tho war would, Ibelieve, greatly help in bringing about com-plete Imperial Federation, as it would showthat we were as sensible of the duties asof the privileges of being members of theEmpire. In making such an offer, we wouldbe doing only our obvious duty. If thoultimate cost of the war to the Empireis £3,000.000,000, our share would be£50,000,000. This is a huge sum, but evenif it should l>e exceeded, New Zealand is ascapablo of bearing its share as any otherpart of tho Empire, and should make theoffer to do so without delay.—l am, etc.,

James Begg.Mosgiel, November 22.

MUSCULAR BACKACHE.The muscles of the baok do the heavy ,

work of the body. When they are over-worked or ill-nourished they ache, andpeople who are-looking for trouble beginto worry about their kidneys.

Backache may be due to lumbago,which is rheumatism of the muscles ofthe back, but more backaches are causedby overstrain, overwork, a.nd muscle star-vation, due to thin blood than by any-thing;,else. ,

Dr "Williams'. Pink Pills build up theblood, and sufferers from backache woulddo well to try this treatment before giv-ing way to worry over a fancied organicdisease. Rest and the tonic treatmentwith Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will correctmost forms of backache, oven rheumatic.

For people who work too hard or dancetoo much anid sleep too little, better habitsand a course of treatment with Dr Wil-liams' Pink Pills are all that are neededto drive away the pains and aches thatare warnings of a coming breakdown.

Two books, " Building Up the Blood"and "Nervous Disorders" will be sentfree, if you are interested, by the DrWilliams' Medicine Co., Wellington. Youcan get Dr Williams' Pink Pills at thenearest chemist's.

Arrangements for a conference betweenthe Minister of Defence and tho Maoris,conccrning future contingents of Natives tobe sent to the front as reinforcements, tobo held at Mercer on the 24th inst., areprogressing satisfactorily. Sergeant-majorAnscll, of tho Defence Department, is ar-ranging for a guard of honour to meet MrAllen on his arrival.

PERSONALMv W. Fuller, who for the past throe

years h.us held t.hc position of stldionmasterlit Ngapara, has been transferred to Clin-ton (says the North Otago Times). Mr andMrs Fuller are very popular at Ngapara.

Prior to leaving the Criterion Hotel, Wai-mate, for Ghristcliurch, Mr and Mrs Law-lor, after eight; years' residence, were pre-sented with ft handsome clock, as a tokenof esteem from friends.

By the death of Mr Thomas Mpir, ofMaiingutua, another of the very carlv settlershas passed away. 110 was 91 years of age,and was a native of Kilmarnock. For sometime before leaving for Nc?w Zealand he re-sided at Kirkoswald, Ayrshire. He arrivedin New Zealand 5+ years ago in the shipStorm Cloud, aniLafter a year in Dunedinhe tried his luck at the Gabriel's Gully dig-gings. Later on ho commenced farming atMaungatua, and followed this up until with-in a lew years of his death. Deceased wrtsof a retiring disposition.

The llcv. J. Benning, who passed awayon Sunday evening at Dunedin, after apainfuh illness, had a somewhat notablecareer. Coming to New Zealand about 33years ago, ho entered the ministry of theMethodist Free Church. After the firstunion of Methodist Churches lie laboured inthe Methodist Freo Churches of Petone andMount Eden. Liter he joined the Primitive

' Methodist Church for eight years, when theMethodist and Primitive Methodist Churcheswere united. For three years Mr Benningwas stationed at Waikouaiti', and for thelast two years he was at Roxburgh, wherehe has done excellent work. Unconven-tional as a preachcr, diligent as a pastor,and conscientious in all the details of hiswork, the deceased lived a most laboriouslife. On all his circuits ho -left a fragrantmemory of childlike purity and Christlysympathy which made him revered byyoung andi old. The rev. gentleman wasmarried to Miss A. Ellis, daughter of MrSamuel Ellis, of Wednesbury, England, theunion being an ideal one. The lady sur-vives her husband. '

The death occurred on Friday at Invercar-gill, at the age of 86 years, of'Mr Andrew-Kinross, who had taken a prominent part inpublic life from the early days of Southland(telegraphs our correspondent). Mr Kinrosswas] born in Glasgow in 1829, and, afterleaving school, took a position in a lawyer'soffice, and followed other occupations sub-sequently until' 1848, when he left for Aus-tralia: Ho arrived at Geelong, where hemarried in 1853. In 1863 the deceased ar-rived at Port Chalmers, and afterwards re-moved to Invercargill. .He became a mem-ber of tho Southland Provincial Council in1869, and also of the Executive Council in1£73. Ho was elected a member of thoOtagoProvincial Council, and continued in officeuntil it was abolished in 1876.' Mr Kinrosswas appointed a member of the SouthlandLand Board for two years in 1878. Ho wasreappointed in 1885, and had been a mem-ber -continuously from that time until a. fewyears ago, when he retired.

Writing under date of October 13, ourLondon correspondent, states that Mr JamesBurnett, Chief Engineer of the New Zea-land Railways, who is' on extended leave-'prior to retiring on superannuation, accom-panied by Mrs Burnett and their youngerdaughter, arrived in London by the Rua-hine. Mr and Mrs Burnett have come toEngland to see their son —Private N. F.Burnett, 'Canterbury Infantry ' Battalion,—who was severely wounded at the Darda-nelles early in May, and who has been inhospitals and convalescent camps in Eng-land for some two months. He is now com-pletely recovered, has rejoined at thebase camp at Weymouth, prior to going outagain to the Dardanelles. Mr and MrsBurnett will probably stay about a year inEngland, and Mr Burnett'hopes to findsome way of rendering service to the do-minion and the Empire during his stay. Fortho present they are staying with theirelder daughter, who will complete her courseof training at the -Froebel Educational In-stitute by the end of. the year, and willprobably return to Now Zealand with them.

A respected citizen of Invercargill, MrWilliam/Russell, passed away on Thursdayat the age of 75 years. A solicitor by pro-fession,- he went to Invercargill from Auck-land in 1862, and after manv vears in part-nership with Mr T. M. Macdonald, prac-tised on his own account (says the SouthlandTimes), until joined by his sgn, Mr Eustace.Russell. A few years ago another son, MrEric Russell, entered the firm. .For the lasteight years, however, the late Mr Russellhad lived in retirement in an ' indifferentstate of health. In the legal profession MrRussell was highly esteemed, and most ofhis time was naturally given to his prac-tice. He fotind time, however, to give theSouthland Acclimatisation Society, of whichhe was one of the founders,_ valuable andcontinuous assistance tintil ill-health com-pelled him to relinquish active work. Hewas a keen sportsman and one of the mostskilful of anglers. When Mr Russellsevered his connection with tho Acclimatisa-tion Society the council elected him a lifemember to mark its appreciation of hislong and invaluable services' to acclimatisa-

/tion in the district.- His love of the sportand of Nature tqpk him far afield in South-land. If he was not actually the first fisher-man to try the Waiau, it was almost virginwater when he first throw his line over it

-and ho found it teeming with fish. Thedeceased gentleman was a close observer ofNature, and knew the bush and the crea-tures of the bush as few knew them. Heread widely, and gave a considerable amountof attention to the Maori language and'Maori lore. He was an enthusiast in horti-culture, and was as skilful in the garden ashe was on the river. Mr Russell is survivedby his widow, two daughters (Mrs li. Y.Braddon,; Sydney, and Mrs Fred. Chisholm,Invercargill) and three sons (Mr W. Russell,Auckland, Messrs Eustace Russell and EricRussell, Invercargill).

AN ADMIRABLE WORK

" THE "OCEAN BBACH DpMAIN.ANNUAL VISIT OF INSPECTION.Not all public bodies are wise. Still fewer

. can hope to have the -wisdom and the bene-ficence of their activities generally recog-nised by their constituents. The OceanBeach Domain Board, however, certainlyhas a right to 'find itself in that happy posi-tion. Not; that that body has cscaped itsshare of criticism, public and private, orhas ever been embarrassed with floral tributes

„from' admirers; but. at least it may withabsolute confidence await the judgment ofany inte#gcnt person who knew the sand-hills from Lawyer'sv Head to St. Clair 20,or even 10, years ago, and who will nowtake a look at the Appearance of tho same

.. area. The change that lias been wrought■ is a-most marvellous transformation for the

better; and the most pleasing of it i3.

that all' has been accomplished with triflingfuss or expense simply by tho wise directionof the foreo3' of Nature themselves

It is customary for the members of theOcean Beach Domain'Board to make a visit

■ of inspection to the territory under theircontrol once a year, and naturally they choose

• ' the time when the yellow lupins are in fullbloom and everything'on the sea front looksits best. Such were the conditions yesterdaymorning, when the members in motor cars

' traversed tho domain from Lawyer's Headto.St. Clair. The party consisted of thechairman (Mr J. H. Hancock), Mr C. J.M'Kenzie (public works engineer), MessrsP. L. Clark,. J. E. White, G. Hodges, J.B. Shacklock, E. Sincock, R. A. Johnston(secretary of the board), and a couple ofpressmen. Ffom Tiihuna Park eastward toLawyers 7 Head there was ample evidence ofthe board's wise activities. What was acomparatively few years ago-.a barren wilder-ness of shifting sandhills is now an un-dulating mass of sweet-smelling lupin, withhere and there a sturdy pine plantation, astretch of marram grass, and even in onesp"ot a healthy-looking' patcfy of potatoes.The mesembryanthemum, or "ice-plant,"does very well in places, but only on theeunny slopes of the sand dunes. So effec-tively has the movement of the sand beencontrolled., in this part that the road pre-sents a hard, smooth surface, with no tracesof sand at all. A plantation of pine treesput in some 10 jjears ago on the landwardside of the road is doing very well, and al-ready affords, good shelter. Other cnain-wide

• plantations of pious insignia, pinus muricata,/ and pinus. maritima,on both sidesof the road,

are of much more -recent 'growth; but theypromise well, and will before very longeffectually shelter the road from all thewinds that blow. The, security, that theboard's operations. Have afforded TahunaPark from the danger of shifting sand isvery qbvious, and the possibilities of thedomain' from the point, of_ view of recrea-.tion grounds'seerrf to be. very great. On thelandward side-of'the road, just,beyond thepark, members were shown ii smooth andnicely-sheltered area among the sand hillswhich has been prepared for a ladies' hockeyground. '

Probably at no. point do the board's worksshow to better advantage than from the,short piece of road that continues seawardsfrom the St. Kilda tram terminus. Here,by the judicious use of groins, marramgrass, and lupin, the board' has, in thecourse of a few years, completely done awaywith the old lagoon, absolutely secured thesafety of "the flat" from invasion by thesea, and reclaimed and Revelled acres, andacres of ( ground that in a comparativelyshort space of time will make excellent andextensive recreation grounds,for the youngpeople of the city. On either side, of thislittle pieoe of road there'is a healthy-lookingplantation of pines and shrubs that will beaffording pleasant shelter before long. Onthe St. Clair side of the road thje boardexpects to reclaim about three acres, forrecreation purposes, while on the 'Lawyer'sHead side the extent of ground to be de-voted for this purpose is seven acres anda-half. The board's sand barriers are nowextended as far seaward as it is intended togo, and so its work in this part is nearingcompletion. . The chairman gave membersto understand that the fence which nowbars vehicles from access to this road willshortly be removed to the outer end of theroad, as. the object of the fence is simplyto prevent traffic from getting access to thebeach."

From the St. Kilda _terminus members)proceeded along Victoria road 'to Givenstreet, where the cars turned off on tothe newly-constnicted St. Clair esplanade,which has not yet been opened for traffic.The road winds prettily among the sand-hills for most of the way, and affords verypleasing views both seawards and towardsijt. Clair and the city. Before the road ,isthrown open to public traffic it is intendedlo have it fenced on both sides,-this pre-'eaution being necessary to keep horses offthe' sandhills and the beach.

Tho end of the road at St. Clair wasnegotiated with some difficulty by the cars,.and here there were some very evidentreasons why the road over half a mile ofwhich has been completed, has not yet beendeclared op6n. The corner' leading from |Forbury road on to the new esplanade is ian exceedingly sharp and "narrow angle.A wooden shed, at present leased by the

lessee of the St. Clair public bathe, prac-tically blocks the way. The exact position oftheAp-ivate boundary is in dispute, however,and yest-erday the public Works engineer

\ (Mr M'Kenzie) undertook to get that set atrest by one of his staff shortly. At presentit looks very much as if those responsiblehad concentrated their energies on the con-struction of a, fine road, and had overlookedthe very essential detail of access to one endof it. Obviously what, is most desirable isthat the new road should be directly joinedup with the old bit of St. Clair esplanadeleading round to the baths, but it seemsthat a purchase of land will' be necessarybefore that can be satisfactorily effected.The attention of members was drawn to. avery bad pieoe in the old St. Clair esplanade•where there are two levels and a fence inthe middle of the narrow road.

About an .hour and a-half was occupiedin the visit of inspection, which shouldsurely leave members with the pleasingconsciousness that they form part of a bodywhose activities confer a great boon on the-whole of the City of Dunedin,. and provideit with marine attractions that suffer no-thing by comparison with those to .be foundin any other part of. New, Zealand.

THE MAY MOM GAMPINSPECTION BJ SURGEON-GENERAL

HENDERSON.(Pxb .Unitid Pbkss Association.)

WELLINGTON, November 22.Surgeon-general Henderson, on his return

from the south, visited May Morn campyesterday (Sunday). He was accompaniedby the Chief of tho General Staff (ColonelGibbon) and tho Director of Military Hospi-tals (Colonel Valintine).

In' a statement' -to-day General Hendersonpid ho hud made a iietailed -inspection last-'ing- over two hours of. everything in thocamp, including tho. hospital. As a result

" of the recent heavy ancL continuous-weatherthe camp certainly was muddy, but thiswas only natural, and would be expected inany temporary oamp under existing weatherconditions ; in fact, it, was ' not so muddylis might have Been expected. Some of thetents, whilst being capable of keeping out

. ordinary showers of rain, had proved to benot waterproof during heavy storms of rain■when driven with reccnt,>lngh winds. Thiswas an unavoidable hardship, which menhave frequently to put up with in oampS ofthis nature. Moreover,

_

there, were n6tsufficient tents available in the,;dominionto enable only perfect ones to; be; issuedfor the use of the troops, but this disabilitywas cfnly a temporary one, pending theerection of a pertaanent camp at Featlier-ston and the arrival of ,a large.consignmentof tents which had been ,on order for sometime from India. The men who desired itwere given shelter in the' mill building-..

/ Many, however, preferred to remain in their .tents, remarking iihat they were back-

, blocks men, and were used to 'such condi-tions. Drying tents had been erected, inwhich the men could dry their clothes; and'by tho courtesy of Mr Seed, the manager,additional lines had been put up in' theMay Morn Mill, on which clothes could also.be dried.

Surgeon-general Henderson, stated thai:. he could find nothing unsatisfactory in the.

camp or of a nature: predisposing to dis-ease. Tho camp was only in the nature ofa temporary one, and the incinerators wereworking -well. Tlk> soakage pita wure an-swering their purpose, and tho surfacedrains were being cut as originally intended.Tho o<imp would lxi .evacuated by the twobattalions of tho New Zealand Tiiflo Brig-ade early next week, as 90011 as they hadcompleted their musketry. v-hicJi they werefiring on tho ranges, at Trontham duringtho present week. Tho camp would then ■be left vpjO.nit for a period of two weeks,when it would be reoocupied for a- periodof three or four weeks, when its con-tinuance would no longer ,be necessary.Surgeon-genera! Henderson added that onthe 20th iust. there were only 26, oases-if) the hospital out of 2500 taion in camp.This worked ro.it about I prr cent,, veteven this small percentage were all minorfemes.

QTAGO CENTRAL SHOWThere was only a fair attendance at the

Central Otago Show at/ Omakau on Fri-day, this being due to unfavourable weatherwhich prevailed during the forenoon, and aheavy gale in the afternoon. As a result,the gathering was not 'quite as enjoyableas previous shows hayp been. The entriesin the various sections were good, and thequality all round was of a High standard.In the heavy horse section competition waskeeil, and tfhere were also eome fine lighthorses. During the afternoon two fatwethers were put up at auction by MrM'Arthur, on behalf of the Wounded Sol-diers' Fund, and realised £2 10s. The vari-ous officials worked hard to make the showa success, Mr Duggan (the secretary) being'most assiduous in his efforts to lseep thingsgoing with a swing. '
