LESSON OF THE WAR.

The War has brought home to us whathas long been common knowledge to thosewho concern themselves with Education.Our national prosperity and security de-mand greater concentration of trained in-telligence on problems of industry, of com-merce, and of public administration. Inthis respect there is a lesson for all.The most lucrative positions in the future

will bo held by tho6e possessing a soundeducation. It is the duty as well as theprivilege of those who remain behind tobe prepared.

FORTY-THIRD REIN-FORCEMENTS.

OTAGO MEN PROCEEDNORTH.

SMALL IN" NUMBERS, BUTFIT AND HEARTY.

Tho Dunedin section of tho 43rd Rein-forcements left yesterday for tho north.At 9 o'clock the men, under M:ijor Moller,paraded at tho Kensington Hall, where theroll was called and every man, with one

coeption, answered to bis name. The num-ber was 44. Tho public attonded in hugenumbers.Golonol lv R. Smith, V.D., briefly ad-dressed the men. I-Io said it was recog-nised that some of them had (riven upbusinesses and were leaving wives and child-ren to go to the front. Tho sacrifice wouldbe rememberea gratefully by their fedlow-citizens, and it was to be hoped tliat whenthese men returned they would find readylor them positions equal to if not bettorthan those they had) surrendered. He im-pressed upon all who wore going into campthe wisdom of making use of the oppor-tunities there afforded to get fit and toacquire the military spirit. The strength

ot a man, of an army, of a nation, was dis-cipline, and as they grew in knowledge ofsoldiering they would realise this. It waseverything in action to know that the, menin tho ranks were disciplined. To theyounger men ho gavo tho advice to exer-cise their will power and learn to say "Yes"and "No," and to keep fit. They wouldthus keep out of trouble of very kind.Ho wished them a successful period oitraining a successful voyage, ajid victori-ous fighting if they got tllcre in time.—(Ap-plause.) v

Canon Curzon-Sigrgere told tho men thatttie best way for the men to keep fit wasto keep up communication with those theyloved in tho city they were about to leave.As to fitness. Napoleon said thatin times of national emergency the spiritualforces were as four to one. The prayersof those left behind would be an influenoewhich wonkl help towards that spiritual fit-ness. ) He advised the men to follow theKmfja example and read a few verses oftno Bible every day. The power thus ac-quired would help them to win, and it waswith that assurance that they should gointo hattlo—determined to die rather thanbe taken as prisoners.—(Applauss.) Thospeaker then distributed pookct testamentsto the men.

Amid lusty cheers the men, who all ap-peared very hearty, left the hall, headed bytho Dunedin Highland Pipo Bandi, andmarched through Princes street to tho Octa-gon, thence to Ansae square. At tho send-off ceremony, which was witnessed by alarge crowd, the Mayor of Dunedin (Mr J.J. Clark) conducted the proceedings. ColonelCowie Nichols, Major Cooper, and CaptainMyers represented tho staff. The Invercar-gill men, who had came to town on the pre-vious evening, joined their Dunedin com-rades, and tho farewell speeches wero com-menced.

1-he Mayor said that as the citizens weretaking farewell of the 43rd. Reinforcementsthe greatest battle that had yet been foughtwas in progress. They could not help hav-mg many anxious hours, yet there was ©-veryreason for them to bo of good cheer. Allthe news that reached them increased theirconfidence tlioro wits but one con-clusion possible to the 'war, and tlxat wasthe absolute crushing of the crownedbutcher of Europe and) of his cruel andruthless militarism. Hi ere was no reasonto fear that the splendid men who wereholding tho masses of Huns would not provofully equal to the "task. Germany was nowfighting, not for what she could gain, butfor what she could save, for her dream ofworld power had been shattered. "Whilewe look to the future," continued theMayor, "with full confidence and with cer-tainty wait for tho victory that is coming,wo must remember that we who stay athome are a part of tho battle-lighters, andthat just as wo exert or relax our efforts,so we help or retard the day of victory andof glory. The better we understand thenature of our task, and niaike the sacrificesand perform our duty, the sooner will theend coma. If tho Empire will bo true toherself, and if every individual will loyallyco-operate- with each other to "stick to it.'*we can calmly, confidently, and courage-ously wait for the victory which will brine;a lasting peace." The men of the 43rd R(Sinforcements wcro going to prepare them-selves to join the most glorious army theworld had ever seen and to share with itin tho splendid glory of the final triumph.There was only on® sort of peace that couldbe accepted—peace with honour andsecurity, peace which would forever breakthe power of the German War Lords. Thomen before him were going away whentho song of victory was on the lips of theAllied forces, and for that reason theirfrionds could afford to say goodi-byo to themwith a smile. —(Applause.)

Bishop Nevill also addressed the menThey were going forth, he said, in supportof ths noblest cause for which a man couldbe called upon to give up his home, hiskindred, and perhaps his life. They weregoing to learn war for a sacred cause. Cen-turies ago Crusaders undertook long jour-neys and endured great hardships for asacred cause. They went forth under thoCross of Christ to deliver Jerusalem fromthe domination of the Pagans. The mis-sion of the men ho was addressing wasstill more saored, for they were going todeliver a world from a thraldom even worsethan that of paganism. They were goingto hurl back the ravishere of homes, themakers of slaves, 'the destroyers of civilisa-tion, the degraders of women, and theslayers of little children. When they knewwar as they could not know it in this lovelyand peaceable land they would witness thedesolation, the carnage, and the horror of itall; they would see half-clad women andtottering men driven from their homes, andthey would feel then that they were fightingon the eide of God; that they were cham-pions of heaven. If it should be theirs totako part in the war, they would do theirbest to cut off the grasping feet of theobscene vulture which called itself tho Prus-sion eagle. It was hard to leave home, butmany of them, he know, did not go merelybecause they had been called, but becausethey wished to take part in the struggle."May it bo yours," added the Primate, "tojoin in tho shout of victory and to returnto the triumph of a righteous cause vindi-cated, and the designs of the wicked over-thrown for ever. I wish you God-speed,and ask God 'to bless you. I commend vouto Him, that you may, when in a foreignland, show tho world that there is nothingstronger than the power of God to over-throw the passions of man."—(Applause.)

The men then marched on to 'the plat-form and boarded tho train. Tho Miltoncontingent arrived from the south shortlybefore 11 o'clock, and also went north. Asthe train left the men were heartily cheered.

Lieutenant George was in commandafter leaving Dunedin, assisted by Lieu-tenant Doyle, of Invorcargill, who is takingup duty at tho Featherston camp.

LECTURES TO SOLDIERSThe Victoria League, London, is now

prepared to offer lectures to soldiers inhospital in any part of the United King-dom. where the officer commanding ap-proves. A number of hospitals are askingfor weekly and fortnightly lectures, andthe league is greatly indebted to the lec-turers, many of whom give their valuablelectures without foe. Many experts in theirrespective subjects are co-operating in thiswork. It seoms to be generally agreedthat the men get tired of nothing but con-certs, and that they weloome a form ofrc-oroation which leaves them with some-thing to think over discuss. It is pro-posed to pro-vide lectures of three types—(a) general subjects, travel, etc.; (b) talkson science and trades; (c) lectures on theBritish dominions and colonies on lineslikely to bo helpful to soldiers who wishto settle overseas after the war. In orderto r.ugment the fund instituted to carryout this loeture scheme a series of pictures,entitled On and Off the Battle Front,"will be shown in Burns Hall on the 29thinst. The Hon. G. M. Thomson, M.L.0.,will supply the descriptive matter relatingto each picture (screened.

THIN FOLKS WHO WOULD BEFAT

INCREASE IN WEIGHT WITH SOLIDHEALTHY FLESH."I'd certainly give most anything to beable to fat up a lew pounds and stay thatway," declares every excessively thin nm.nor woman. &uch a result is not invariablyimpossible, despite past failures. Thinpeople axe often victims of mal-nutrition, acondition which prevents the fatty elementsof food from being taken up by the blood

as they are when tho powers of nutritionare normal. Instead of getting into theblood, all tho fat and flesh producing ele-ments stay in tho intestines until they passfrom the body as waste, in such instances.

To correct this condition and to produce ahoalthy, normsd amount of fat the nutritiveprocesses may be artificially supplied withthe power which Nature has denied them.This is often accomplished by eatinga Sorgoitablet with every meal. Sargol is a scien-tific combination of several of the most effec-tive elements known in medicine for thispurpose.

THE president's address.a u. -Si °P enin.S remarks Bishop Nevilldealt with the diocesan history of tho year,making mention of tho death of the Rev.vv. Konaldson, Commander Easther, Mr T.b. Graham, and Mr E. E. 0. Quick; re-cording the resignation by Canon Swinburnof tho Bluff charge, and the departures ofthe Revs. H. B. Goertz and H. Parata toservo aa war chaplains; and intimating,bznongst other things, that tho accident tothe Rev. S. Stephens had involved hisresignation of the cure of the parish ofDunstan, and that the Board of Nomina-tors had selected tho Rev. W. H. Robertsto succeed Canon Swinburn at the Bluff,and the Rev. N. Friberg (of Picton) for St.Martin s North-East valley.

The President then proceeded with hismain discourse—'"Die Call of the Age:Until we all come into the oneness of faith• Vt into- a fuU-grown man" (Eph. iv,He said, that the present Synod mightbe 'the last over which he would preside,and it would not be unfitting that he shouldmake use of his position as an old man toillustrate the real value of tradition. Notmany people knew that he was, as a bishop,the contemporary of Bishop Selwyn foreight years, and knew him for two yearsbefore that, being often in his company®d in with him. He couldtherefore hand on Bishop Selwyn's tradi-tions and purposes. A period of 100 veavsneed not be regarded as a historic blank,even if there should not exist any writtenaccount of its history. The question of theapostolic origin of the episcopate was oneof great importance in relation to the re-union of Christendom. It was the'fashionof non-episcopal writers to affirm the exist-ence of such a period as " the dark tun-nel." The space as to which we had noexisting written account from the close ofthe New Testament canon was very muchless than 100 years—reallv about 70 fromthe death of St. John and 100 from St.Peter and St. Paul. When the ■writtentestimony did begin episcopacy was in fullexercise. The knowledge of the interveningperiod, then, came to us either from theknowledge possessed by the earliest writerswe have, or from extracts made by earlywriters from written accounts existing mtheir time which had not come down tous. The latter might be regarded as his-tory; the former was tradition. As to theability of tradition to cover thie dark space,of which it was insinuated that we couldknow nothing, an illustration wasforthcoming in his own life history.He could recollect things of whichhis grandfather spoke, and pc-rsonswhom that grandfather mentioned as ofsome eminence at the close of the 18thcentury. That mean certainly over 120years. Applying this to the matter inhand, he turned to Irenaeus, who was thesecond bishop of Lyons in a.d. 177, whichwould bring him to within 80 years of St.John at tnat time. Irente us was born inor near to Smyrna, where St. John hadlived, and at Smyrna was Bishop Poly-carp, who had been for some 20 years acontemporary with St. John. Irenaeus gavean account of how he obtained his traditionof the intervening years. He said thatPolycarp was _ not only instructed byapostles, and lived in familiar intercoursewith many who had seen Christ, but. wasalso, by apostles in Asia, appointed bishopof the Church in Smyrna. The traditionof Irenaeus, therefore, went far to estab-lish the episcopal form of church govern-ment in the East, to which the letters ofIgnatius gave such direct testimony thateven non-church writers allowed that inthose regions tho question was indisputable.The effort at the present time was to makeout that this system was local, and peculiarto arrangements made by St. John. Thefashion of the moment was to postulatea period in which there was little or nochurch organisation, and out of which theepiscopate was eventually evolved. It wouldbo easy to quote passages from the NewTestament itself wnich displayed a veryconsiderable amount of organisation, buthe was not engaged upon the origin of theepiscopate so much as upon showing thereal value of tho early testimony which wepossessed on the subject, and pointing outtlu.t it really left no empty space. Whatcould Irenams say as to the. existence ofbishops in the West before his own time?After receiving the teaching of Bishop Poly-carp he went to Rome and discussed withAnicetus (the then bishop of Rome) thevexed question of the right time for keep-ing the anniversary of the death of OurLord. This and other questions of diver-gent usage between East and West werediscussed without result. Irenaeus, writingfrom Lyons, whenhe was bishop there, abouta.d. 177, mentioned this visit of Polycarpto Rome, which was during his residencethere. Thus did we obtain incidental evi-dence of a decisive character of the exist-ence of the episcopal office in both East andv\ est from the earliest times, and Irenaeusin his book against the heretical sects ofhis day gave a full list of the bishops ofRome from the timo of Linus, who hadbeen appointed by St. Peter and St. Paulbefore their martyrdom by Nero in a.d.67. After further references to history insupport of his proposition, Bishop Nevillwent on to say that wc" could dissipate thesupposed darkness as to the primitive exist-ence of episcopacy in the West. One pro-minent idea which actuated him in accept-in£ "J© bishopric of ]}uneciin 47 years agowas that he micjht perhaps in such a posi-tion do some little thing to promote thereunion of Christendom. The new orderwould be what the Church made it. Therewas no other power under God whichcould regenerate the world. It was thewill of the Divine Founder of the Churchthat it should bo one body, so that itoould speak with one voice—then onlywould the world listen. The various de-partments of human thought were too sec-tional in their operation. Tho onlymotive power that could resolve the sec-tional into one harmonious self-acting forcewas the motive power of tho Christianreligion. As things were, that force failedto get far beyond its own special circle.All _ sorts of writers wore declaring thatspiritual influence was the need of the day,and they chided the Church for compora-tive inefficiency. They pointed to thecause of such impotence—unhappy di vi--'sions—but they got no further. Some werenow trying for a federation of the sepa-rated units. But accepted federation meanttho perpetuation of sovercnce, and theweakness and trouble remained, with, per-haps, a suspicion of unreality in the affectedunity. The two great ethical powers inthe Church were Truth and Love; but bothmust bre real. Iho t.ruth, as predicated of adivinely-founded organisation, involved theconstitution of that organisation as well asits precepts. That itis his reason for illus-trating tho succcssion of the episcopateftom the apostle.-, a truth onlv questionedin modern times. If that mcde of churchgovernment was instituted at a timo whenthe Church was under the more direct andimmediate action of tho Holy Spirit, thatmode was manifestly included' by Christ inHis commission to the apostles, and it didnot thorefore originate by evolution, butrather by a revolution from thom. ' Forcharity's sake he refrained from drawingtho conclusions which had followed fromthe broach of this order. Nor did ho im-agine that the acceptance of his accountas true liistory would cause those who hadRrowri old in membership with non-episcopalreligious communities to return to thecatholic fellowship. But he said "Let thetruth bo made olear to all, though thehcravens fall," and he spoke particularly totho young, to the inquiring, and to* thothousands who werr. r-.ttached to 110 churchat all, but said they wer.i waiting to seewhich was the truo Church amongst somany. Tho heart of tho Christian worldwas palpitating with a yearning emotionfor unity, ana now ho loft it on record,should this bo his last address to theChurch, that after years and years of studyand thought .uvi prayer ho could discoverno other pa.tViv.-ay to tho accomplishmentof Ohrift's for tho unity of HisChuroh tho acceptance of Christ's planfor her upbtiiiifmg arid endowmer.i withpowfir. r llw *i«<MLer concluded thus; "Ifpeople oi»n m-u aHrrow-mindod for whnt Ili.ito I mutt submit to tho chargo,thot"'*h f nothing is wider thanthe lovo -k Hrvf. k -kI I have only tried topouit, -t'o to '.lie fuliiKws of its recep-tion."- 'J-

EVENING SERVICE.There was a large attendance at the ser-

vioe held in the evening in St. Paul's tem-porary cathedral. Tho address for the even-ing was deliverd by Doan Fitchett, whot<X)k as his text "Blessed is he that is notoffended in Me," and pave a most, instruc-tive discourse. The first lesson "was readby tho Rov. W. H. Hamblett, vicar ofGore, and tho second lesson by tho Rev.A. C. Button. The service was taken byCanon Nevill.

SALE OF WORK.A sale of iwork was opened last evening,having for its object the. raising of money

to assist in the building of the Old People'sHome at North-East Valley, and also, ifthe proceeds permit of it, contributing tomission funds. Knox Church Sunday SchoolHall, where the sale was held, presented avery bright and animated appearance, andthe stalls—some six in number—were heavilyladen with goods of all descriptions. Thesehad been provided by the children attend-mg Knox Church Sunday School, their par-ents, and friends. It was indeed a child-ren's effort, supplemented and assisted bytheir elders. The stalls were run by differ-ent departments connected with the Sundayschools, not only of Knox Church, but PineHill, Pelichet Bay, and Lcith Valley.Several competitions were held during thoevening, such as baking, making sweets,needlework, woodwork, and Meccano con-struction. A. musical programme was alsopresented by members of tho Bible classesand the scholars of the school.

The Rev. R. E. Davies. in opening thosale, regretted the unavoidable absence ofDr Bowie, who was to have performed thatfunction, and said that the object was toraise monev for the Old People's Homo andfor missions. The Sunday school scholarshad undertaiken to provide £120—sufficientfor one room in the home—and he under-stood that they had already raised a goodsum and hoped by the proceeds of the saleto complete their object, and provide somemoney for missionary enterprise. He de-sired to thank all those who had organisedthe sale. It had been thoroughly welldone, and he hoped the efforts prut forthwould be appreciated. He advised thoseinterested in the Old People's Home topay a visit to the North-East Valley. Ifthey did_ they would see in tho course ofconstruction the building which it was hopedwould be opened in September. At least25 old people could be accommodated atthe commencement, and it was hoped asmoney came in to extend it. Thev wesreindebted to Mr John Ross for giving thechurch such a lead in this worthyobject. Ho also mentioned several officersof tho school who hadl dono valuable work.

Immediately Mr Davies had concluded hisremarks, the business began in real earnest,and was carried on onergeticallv until thetime of closing The sale will be openagain this afternoon and evening.

EMPIRE THEATRE"Bab's Burglar" is the feature picture at

the Empire 'iheatre for the ensuing fewdays, and was screened for the lirst timeyesterday. Marguerite Clark, who appearsin the leading role, is known as a "subdeb," which, interpreted, means a bud-ding artiste of promise, who has not yetquite established a high reputation for her-self. "Bab's Burglar" is the secondof the "sub deb" series, in which MissClark figures, and is simple, but veryeffective in construction. Babs is a bitworried about the cost of wearing apparel,etc., and her father comes to her rescueby allowing her lOOOdol a year to pay foreverything. Then she and her friend, JaneRaleigh, start to disburse the money, whichvanishes with marvellous rapidity. Babdetermines to pull up, and tries a motorcar to save shoe leather, but for diversreasons it does not prove a good invest-ment, and Bab strikes the brilliant idea ofconverting it into a public conveyance tocarry persons at 50 cents per head. Theproject is financially successful, but thereis a young man who always alights fromthe car in the same spot, not very farfrom Bab's home. This makes the imagina-tive Bab suspicious, and as several burglarrios have been perpetrated in the neighbour-hood, sho sets the young man down as aburglar. The next thing to be done is tocatch him burgling, and Bab sits up atnight time and watches. But all in vain,till one night she seea a boy let downfrom a top window, and realises that theburglar has an accomplice in the house.The burglar and his accomplice, once safein the library, Bab fires off an old re-volver. Then Bab finds, to her consterna-tion and disgust, that the burglar is hersister'Leila's young man, and that she hasinterrupted an elopement, her chagrinbeing heightened by tho fact that she hasbeen endeavouring to get Leila "off" inorder that she herself might come to thofront. Shown in conjunction with tho fore-going :s the second episode of the Para-mount serial "Tho Flying Fortress" and aTopical Budget. The former is a veryfine picture, and specially wel-. worth see-ing.

Ho sug-gested that tliree mon bo quartered at theproposed now temporary five station in theRoslyn district, and that, a portion of thenow partially occupied Town Hall at Morn-iripjton bo leased for use as a fir- station.to be equipped with a Ikdit motor applianceand two permanent firemrn quartered there.Tho third man quartered at. the Roslvn sta-tion might lie utilised for relieving uurposesat Mornington. and thus, without trench-ing on tho strength of tho Central station,there would always be two men on duty at,both the Roslyn and Mornington stations.Ho considered that tho X:vth-ivi..-t Valleydistrict should bo provided with some[greater degreo_ of protection than it had atpresent, and it appeared that this was aease wherein the local rcsidaits might boinvited to "lend a hand" in their own intercst.—Tile Chairman pointed out that sofar as Roslyn and Mornington wore con-cerned, tho board would long ago have in-creased tho number of men, hut uofortur.ately it could not got mon.Valley "was a difficult district to work witia _ hand reol, and it could bo best served■with the board's motors.—The report wasreceived.

Tho board's estimates for the year, cover-ing an expenditure of £RSCO. wore adopted,this being tho same amount as the boardworked on last year.The Finance Committee

that accounts amounting to £748 17s lOd bepassed for payment. Tho financialposition,as at tho 11th inst., showed a credit balanceof £2266 5s 3d after the payment of ac-counts. The committee also recommendedthat a gratuity of £3 bo paid to a volun-teer fireman who contracted illness conse-cpient on proceeding t<, a fire,—Adopted.Tho statutory meeting of the board' washeld subsequently, when Mr Chalmer wasre-elected chairman.

Mr Chalmer, in returning thanks for hisro-eloction, said this was his twelfth year aschairman, and while ho would not say de-finitely that ho would not again seek re-election, he did not think that at tho endof this year it would be a case of steppingout_ of tile chair and going back into itagain.

Tho Chairman moved a vote of thanks tothe staff for the efficient service it had ren-dered during the year. Incidentally, liemade reference to the early departure forcamp of Mr Hamann (their secretary]. Thonext mooting would be his last with theboard for a time. Ho desired to placeon record the board's appreciation of MrHamann's services. He had saved theboard a considerable sum of money by hiscareful buying at the stores, and! his 'fore-sight in all matters had resulted in a greatsaving. He appreciated Mr Hamann's ser-vices very highly.

JDuring an interval in the proceedings MrReed presented the annual report and bal-ance sheet, which was adopted. The reportstated that tho annual Methodist Conferenceappointed the Rev. T. A.

The Young Worshippers' Leaguehad made good progress, the usual attend-ance being between 60 and 70. It was re-gretted that the death of one of their seniortrustees, in the person of Mr W. Clyde, hadoccurred during tho year. For years he haddone his best in the interests of the church.The Sunday School had consistently main-tained its usual standard, under the superin-tendency of Mr Malcolm. Miss Purdie hadcharge of the Young Women's Bible Class,and the Junior Christian Endeavour Society,under the superintendency of Miss Hill, ac-complished good work. The Boy Scoutscontinued to meet weekly, and most ol themembers had secured tbeir badges. Uponthe resignation of Mr M*Coll from the posi-tion of scoutmaster, Mr H. Wilkinson suc-ceeded to the position. The Ladies' Guildmet regularly, and as a result of their efforts£57 10s 6d had been raised, and they nowhad in hand £87 lis 7d towards the ChurchRenovation Fund. The receipts for the yearfrom all sources, totalled £114 2s 9d, and thedisbursements £77 10s, leaving a credit tothe trust account of £22 16s 3d.

PRINCESS THEATRE.The new programme at the PrincessTheatre nas met with immediate and un-qualified success, last evening's audiencebeing just about as large as that presenton the opening night. It was found neces-

sarjjr to eomewhat curtail the programmeowing to its unusual length, but nothingmaterial has been cut out. Walter George'sSunshine Players, in '"Die Pearl of Persia,"score a big success, and the special vaucio-ville turns includc an abundance of goodmatter that is humorous and entertaining.It is a comprehensive and strong bill thatis being presented.

BILLIARDSAn exhibition billiard match was playedlast evening between Messrs H. G. Siede-berg and C. Mason in the newly-established

room in- the Criterion Hotel buildings.These rooms are under the charge of Mr0. Wilson, a returned soldier who has beendisabLed, and a pair of Wright-Ranishtables, which have been installed, promiseto give every satisfaction to patrons of thispopular game. l>ast evening the table uponwhich the two players engaged was plavirigsplendidly. Siedeberg conceded his

"

op-ponent a handicap of 200 points, and anextremely interesting game resulted, Masonrunning out. a winner by a majority of 42points. Siedehorg made some fine' breaksduring the course of the game, these in-cluding 74 and 51, and a beautifully com-pilccl 54 off the red, while he also madea number of smaller breaks. Mason playedan exceedingly consistent game, scoringpractically every time he went to the table,and making a large number of breaks rang-ing between 20 and 30. There was a vervlarge crowd in attendance to watch thegame, and at its conclusion the winner wasloudly applauded.

As an ai*tist in legerdemainMulini does, not seek the aid of mechanicaldevices or of apparatus of any kind; herelief solely on the dexterity of nis hands.He comes well accredited us having touredthe world. An Australian paper declares

" Malini commences where others leaveoff." His tricks are merely the result ofclever sleight-of-hand, but done so artistic-ally that they seem almost uncanny, achiev-ing the seemingly impossible. His trickswith cards a.re so remarkable that onemight well imagine that he had renderedthem obedient to his will. On one occa-sion, when appearing before the lpjo KingEdward, his Majesty was 60 fascinated withone of tho card tricks that ho request,t-dMalini to repeat it threo times. His de-monstration is characteristic of simplicity,and appears to bo accomplished withoutany deception whatever. Malini does notallow a dull moment during his demonstra-tions, and has quite a fund of humour.The box plana for tho season will op< :i atthe Bristol thiß morning.

RELIEF WORK IN FRANCEPERMIT TO RAISE FUNDS SOUGHT.

TIIE MINISTER'S REPLY.(Peb United Pness Associatiok.)

WELLINGTON, Juno 17.Reply ill;* to the Mayor's application for

a permit to r.ii.se funds in aid <>t (lie FrenchRed Cross and other relief work in France,the Minister of Internal Aft'aivs stated thatfuller information was (ksin-ble beforegranting approval. The Red Criias inter-national organisation was spending enor-mous sums on the western front for thobenefit, of all Allied combatants. As con-tributions were going regularly from NewZealand to support the British Red Cross, itwould be seen that the dominion wu-s alreadyparticipating in patriotic, work for the direct■ lenelit of our brave allies of France. Othermore direct efforts to assist, our Frcnchallies had been ma-de by the Governmentand people, of New Zealand. The Government had undertaken payments totalling'£]6.000 for a hospital Frcnch soldier?repatriated. Ivirly in 1917 a fund \va=- estab-lished for th" direct assistance of the FrenchRed Cross, £16,671 being raised. In Feb-ruary last the Government approved of afund for tho benefit ot' a nntional associationfor French war orphans, free postal privi-leges being gra-nted. Sums amounting to

£14.CG3 had already been forwarded anddonations were steadily coming forwardfrill. While, the Government frlly appre-ciated the heroic, sivu'ifieos of our Frenchallies, the Minister regretted that the neces-sity of this further appeal had not beendisclosed. The Government was of opinionthat New Zealand should concentrate itsenergies to the assistance of the British RedCross, leaving the respon<=ib:Jity of distribu-tion of the funds to an executive. InAugust, Our Day appeal would be madethroughout the dominion. If, however,there were other..urgent needs outside thosed.'alt with. n.nd the request were made thata fund fhouW be established for them, sup-ported by the Consul-general for France,the Government would l>o glad to give fur-ther consideration to the matter.

I SUFFERED FROMRHEUMATIC FEVER 14 YEARS,

IN HOSPITAL FOUR TIMES—YETCURED.

"I suffered from Rheumatic Fever andRheumatism for 14 years. I had been inhospital four times, and had private medi-cal treatment without obtaining any per-manent relief," says Mr A. Carpenter, ofLambeth Walk, London, S.E. "Aftertaking De Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pillsfor six weeks I could work again. I onlyhope that o'"-ors who suffer as I did maybe induced to give these wonderful pills atrial. I consider mine a truly remarkablecase."

This is only one case out of many thou-sands who have been cured by this wonder-ful remedy.

To cure Kidney Trouble of any kind yottmust positively get rid of the cause—thepoisonous Uric Acid. Remember, to dothis a real remedy must pass through thekidneys and the bladder, and not throughthe bowels as most kidney pills do. Whenyou see the urine change to a muddv bluishcolour—a feature which distinguishes DeWitt's Pills from all others—you knowbeyond all doubt that thev have" put theirhealing touch on the right spot—the kid-neys and tho bladder. They purify theblood.

Everv reader of this paper who suffersfrom Backache, Rheumatism, Stone, Gravel,Lumbaio. oout,, or any other form of kid-ney or bladder trouble should give thistried and rroved remedy a fair trial with-out loss of time. Every chemist and store-keeper sells Be Witt's Kidnev and BladderPills at ner box, or 5s 6d for one 2itimes as large—a great rave.If you have nnv difficulty in ohtainwgenuine De Witt's Kidney and BladderFills, send the once of the package to,-inv chemist or E. C. De Witt and Co(T.td.). 89 Custom House quay, Wellington,and the same will be sent you immediately'in plain wrarpor.

THE GERMAN PEOPLE AND THEWAR.

The Socialist deputies in. tho Reichstagare again finding their voices. Theirprotests against the manner in whichtho war is being conducted and theirlaments that the war lias become a ques-tion of the maintenance of Hohen-zollernism may or may not be sugges-tive of the growth of a feeling in

against the prosecution, andprolongation of the war. It would beeasily possible to exaggerate the im-portance of the utterances of the Social-ists in the Reichstag. They may nomore reflect popular opinion in Germanythan the winnings of the Snowdens andthe Ramsay Macdonalds in the Houseof Commons reflect the popular opinionin Great Britain. But there is pro-bably a certain significance in the factthat the Socialists, who have been soextremely mute in the Reichstag as tocreate the impression that they had allbeen " tamed," are once more takingcourage to express themselves in opposi-tion to the war policy of the Govern-ment—which, in other words, is thowar policy of the Kaiser, as the mem-bers of the Government are merecreatures of the Kaiser and are madeand unmade by him at will. The Ger-man people are said to be ready tosubmit cheerfully to their economichardships and their privations as longas the hope lingers that peace may besecured, as they have been promised,by a decisive victory. That may beperfectly true. Most probably it is.The majority of the German peopleacquiesced iu the war, and were evenenthusiastic about it, even if they didnot will it. They accepted the de-clarations of their responsible Ministersthat the war was forced upon them.But if there is an increasing reali-sation on the part of the Ger-man masses that they have beendeluded by the hypocritical profes-sions of their political leaders, thereis • a simple explanation of the circum-stance. It consists in the revelationscontained in the memorandum whichPrince Lichnowsky, German Ambassadorin Great Britain at the time of the out-break of war, prepared for private cir-culation and which has, fortunately, ob-tained a wide currency, and in the in-dictment of German duplicity by DrMuhlon, who was until lately a directorof the great armament firm of Kruppat Essen.

Dr Muh'lon's whichpreceded those of Prince Lichnow-sky, show how Germany schemed tobring about the war wiiich she has pre-tended was none of her seeking. Inthe middle of the fateful month of July,1914, he was in Berlin, whero he had aconference, in the ordinary course ofbusiness, with Herr von Helffericli, thendirector of the Deutsche Bank and nowVioe-Chaucellor of the German Empire.In the course of this conference Herrvon Helfferich informed him that " theAustrians had just been with the Em-peror," and that the Austrian Govern-ment would in a week's tim'e deliver adrastic ultimatum to Serbia, demandingprompt compliance on pain of a declara-tion of wax. Ho also informedhim that the Kaiser had expressedhis approval of this procedure andhad declared that he would allow noother State to come between Austriaand hor intended victim, and, fur-ther, that "if Russia mobilised liewould mobilise also," but that inhis case "mobilisation would meanimmediate war," since " this time there>vould be no oscillation." When he re-turned to Essen with this starring In-formation—as Mr William Harbutt Daw-son describes it in a magazine article,in which the summary of events isclearly presented—Dr Muhlon was stillmoro astonished to find that HerrKrupp von Bohlen, the head of thearmament firm, who is an intimate friendof the Kaiser, knew it all and more,for ho had been with the Kaiser justbefore and had been prepared by himfor dramatic occurrences. Accordingto Dr Muhlon, both Herr Krupp vonBohlen and Herr von Helfferich re-garded the miserable subterfuge of theirSovereign—who, after having preparedthe plot, left on a cruise in order thatho might bo able later on to pretendthat he incurred no responsibility in re-spect of the outbreak of the warand the deceit practised by his Govern-ment as incompatible with honour,and they were in agreement, also,that the denials of German com-plicity in the ultimatum episode "were,in effect, lies."

To these disclosures, which musthave shocked whatever remains ofhonesty and straightforwardness inthe composition of the Germannation, were speedily added the remark-able disclosures by Prince Liehnowsky,the effect of which is—in the Prince'sown words—that Gornuvny " deliberatelydestroyed the possibility of a peacefulsettlement " between Austriaand Serbia,and that " it is no wonder that thewhole of the civilised world outsideGermany places the entire responsibilityfor the world-war upon our [the Ger-man] shoulders." A curious light isthrown upon tha motives of Germany inseeking the war, the responsibility forwhich she dare no longer attempt to dis-claim, in a statement by Herr vonJagow, German Foreign Secretary, inJulj, 19J4, who was pat up in itis

country to make somo reply to PrincoLiclmowsky's memorandum. TheMorocco policy of Germany had led to

a political defeat," ho says, and " afresli diminution of our prestigo was in-iolera)>.l« for our position in Europe andthe world/' As Mr Dawson perti-nently and forcibly comments: "Thus onthe voluutary evidence of these Germanauthorities, all men to whom tho innersecrets of Berlin diplomacy are known,tho German Emperor willed the war,schemed it, waged it on his own re-sponsibility; and he did it not for anyhigh motive or humane purpose, butsolely in order to maintain Germany'spolitical prestige, todemonstrate that the

mailed fist' might not be defied twicewith impunity, and to bring home to thoworld the fact that he, as a constitu-tional War Lord, not only is tho solodisposer of the destinies of his seventymillions of subjects, but has the poworto plunge the whole world into measure-less carnage and unspeakable misery."

Gkrhah war finance and British warfinance were tho subject of an interestingpassage in Mr Bonar Law's Budget speecha few weeks ago. There are no veryprecise data on which a contrast of thotwo systems of finance can be based, andtho Chancellor of the Exchequer, in tak-ing tho statements of the German FinanceMinisters at their face value, may reason-ably be said to have been viewing theGerman figures in a light that was ex-ceedingly favourable to Germany herself.Taking, first, the increase of expenditure,Mr Bonar Law observed that this had in-volved a jump from £100,000,000 a monthto £187,000,000, so that the daily ex-penditure in Germany might be said tobe about £6,250,000. This figure is notvery much below that of Great Britain;but the German figures take no accountof expenditure in respect of separationallowances and ether matters of that kindwhich are borne by the State and .munici-palities in Germany. To meet the in-creased expenditure the total amount ofnew taxation levied by Germany since thewar began oomes to 365 millions as againsta total of 1044 millions levied in GreatBritain. The 365 milions are, Mr BonarLaw comments, "not enough to' pay thointerest upon the war debt -which hadbeen accumulated up to the end of theyear." The Chancellor of the Exchequerestimates that even after Germany hasoollected the additional permanent Im-perial revenue which is now being raisedthere will, on a comparison of revenue andexpenditure, be a deficit at the end ofthis year of £385,000,000. "If that weroour position," he adds, "I should cer-tainly think that bankruptcy was not fardistant- from the British Government."Thx Chancellor of the Exchequer has re-marked, as worthy of note, that almostnone qf the additional revenue in Ger-many has been obtained from the wealthierclasses in that country. The new taxa-tion proposals, as brought down in theBeiclistag, are described as presenting "acomplicated mass" which has reduced theGerman papers to a condition of "be-wildered helplessness." But the featurewhich is common to all the proposals isthat they are directed to securing freshrevenue hy means of indirect taxation.The excuse that is made by the Govern-ment for this is the difficulty of over-coming in war time the reluctance ofthe Federal States to give up tlheirclaim to direct taxation. "The difficulty/'observes the correspondent of the Econo-mist, "is a real one; but a more cogentreason is rather the relative ease "withwhich the burden can be shifted, as usual,on to the poorer classes, and theof the Government to offend those classeson whom it mainly depends." It is thewealthier classes alone in Germany thatexercise any influence over the Govern-ment, and, as Mr Bonar Law says andthe new taxation proposals prove, the Gov-ernment is absolutely afraid to force taxa-tion upon these classes. Instead of in-troducing direct ta«xes, the German Gov-ernment lias taken refuge in a series ofincreased import duties upon several com-modities—including some that ar 6 not atpresent importable .'—increased duties onwines, spirits, and other alcohols, increasedrates on postal and telegraphic communi-cations, and increased duties on StockExchange transactions and bank deposits.Political observers and writers in theHome Country axe greatly taken up withthe personality of Sir Eric Geddes, whichappears to be a cruite novel phenomenonin parliamentary life. In a peculiar sensethe emergence of this non-political poli-tician is one of the romances of the warperiod. Sir Eric appeals to the imagina-tion, paradoxically and incongruously, be-cause he is entirely destitute of the sp'ecialqualities upon which the imaginationcommonly feeds. It is a romance of con-'trasts contrast with former Ministerialstandards, contrast with parliamentaryconditions which seemed to be perma-nently established, but which, withso manyother things, have suddenly passed away.This very original First Lord of the Ad-miralty h described as being utterly with-out the characteristic gifts, graces, tricksand various resources of the nominal poli-tician. He has no faculty of facile utter-ance, and when he commenced the prac-tice (which he has continued) of readingfrom a type-written manuscript some stick-lers for traditional usage raised a pro-test; bat the Speaker of the House ofCommons declined to intervene, wiselyholding that these are not times for plac-ing conventional obstacles in the path ofpatriotic efficiency. Mr Arthur Pollenwrites in the Westminster Gazette :

Eric Goddes recalls the oldof something standing "four-squaro to thewinds of heaven." Jaw, faec, figureeverything suggests squareness.Listening to tho First Lord is like in'in-terview with your banker, or your doctoror your lawyer. There is the world ofdifieronce between tho rhetorician thepolitician, _ the advocate, and tho'

manwhose training it has been to masternot w-ords but things, who has had adailv Go-ht wnh facte, and whoso successor failure m that fight has been annuallyrecorded by tile unflattering calculus oftho chartered accountant. Indeed listen-ing, one felt more like an auditor thanone of an audience.

Humooti (of sorts) has not been entirelyban idled from tho House of Commons bythe grave preoccupations of war. Admiralof the Fleet, Sir H. Meux, a parliamentary"character," was in a jocular andgenially allusive vein during the discus-sion on Lord Jellicoe's removal from theAdmiralty. He assured the House thatwhen the news reached him on a Sundaymorning "he was so angry that he wouldnot go to church." The attacks on LordJellicoe, he added, were due to sheerignorance. "He was reminded of thepassage from "The Pilgrim's Progress'where Mr Ignorance took for a ferrymanMr Faint Hope. He took him a littleway bu*—they would remember the story—afterwards they went, to Hell.—(Laugh-ter.)" No doubt, suggested the sprightlyveteran, Lord Jellicoe would have actedmore cannfly if he had taken care to seeeye to eye with Mr Lloyd George. "Hedid not think it was a wise thing for anaval or military officer to disagree withthe Prime Minister.—(Laughter.) If theygot into discussion with the Prime Minister

-ware in the game position us t&e

oysters when they went out for a. walkwith tne Walrus and tho Carpenter.—(Laughter.)" He wanted to know whowas tho real father of the decision to dis-pense with Lord Jellicoe's services.

lie was reminded of tho story ofthe little, boy who got info trouble, ;ui<Tfound himself in a police court, whoretho magistrate asked hitn who was hisfillher. "I don't know, sir," said tho boy."Nonsense!" saidl tho magistrate. "Idont know, sir," said tho boy. "Motherdoesn't, know ; she only saw him once in atrain. —(Laughter.)

Tho First Lord of the Admiralty wastartly reminded, perhaps not without ashade of reason, that though lie was avery distinguished man, "you could notlearn the secret of tho sea in a fewmonths," nor the secret of doing un-pleasant things in a pleasant manner.

He was certain that the First Lordmeant to dismiss Lord Jellicoe in thomost courteous manner, but like a greatmany strong men he probably was notvery much endowed with tho suaviter int

lOj ' an thcro was no doubt thatLord Jellicoe's feelings had been verymuch hurt. Possibly it was a horedit-arvtrait in tho First Lord's character. Wasit not a forbear, or one of tho same clanJonny_ Geddes—who once threw a stoolat a bishop ? —(Laughter.)

At number of cases were set down forhearing at the Magistrate's Court yesterdaymorning in which the Otago General La-bourers Union sought to recover fromabout 20 of its members contributions fora period of 12 months, the amount involvedm each case being 13s. In a small propor-tion ot the cases notico to defend had beenhied; but the defence was abandoned be-fore they came on for hearing. It is under-stood that the defence was to have beenthat the Wn was using its funds for poli-tical purposes by affiliation with the Labour-Representation Committee; but tho factsprobably did not sustain this contention.

majority of tho undefended cases theamount claimed was paid into court beforothe hearing came on.

Thero has been a great run of. trout upthe Water of Leitli lately, and the officersof the Otago Acclimatisation Society havebeen busy at the mouth of the stream in-tercepting tho fish with tho object ofsecuring ova. In this they havo been verysuccessful, and a larger number of ova havebeen obtained than for a few years past.

It is understood tliat tho SouthlandAcclimatisation Society has recently ap-proached tho Government with a view togetting the boundaries between it and thoOtago Acclimatisation Society altered. Itis pointed out that if the Southland Society'swishes were complied with it would meanthat some of tho Otago Society's best rivers,such as tho Mimihau, tho Wyndham, andthe Mairiiua, the last of which has causedconsiderable and protracted litigation be-tween tho two bodies, would pass into thoSouthland acclimatisation district. It isunderstood that the Southland Society hasforwarded an application to tho Minister ofInternal Affairs; but before acting in thomatter the Minister has communicated withthe Otago Society,and that body has repliedpointing out that tho suggested alterationof boundaries would deprive it of severalgood rivets. Tho Otago Society has there-fore protested' against such a change beingmade. It has been pointed out furtherthat Southland is rich in rivers, while thosein Otago are comparatively limited in num-ber, and in several instances pollutedthrough mining operations. A suggestionlias been made by the Otago Society that thomatter be held over pending the confer-ence of Acclimatisation Societies, when itmight bo disposed of on equitable grounds.

The Postal Department's recent announce-ment that it would shortly bo necessary tocurtail tho daily number of letter deliveriesin \\ ellmgtou has resulted in many in-quiries being made at the office of theWomen's National Reservo in respect to theprospect of the employment of women asletter-carriers in placa of men called up formilitary service. Two officers of theWomen's National Reserve recently waitedupon Mr Morris (Secretary of the PostalDepartment), and were very courteouslyrcooived. Subsequently Mr Morris sent totho lion, secretary of tho Women' 6 NationalReserve a letter dealing with the question.He stated that the department had in con-templation the question of utilising tho ser-vices of women as letter carriers. Up totho present, however, it had been able tomeet tho pressuro through tho employmentof returned soldiers, who3o claims werenaturally entitled to priority. No doubt,with the serious inroads madb by tho call-ing up of men of tho Second Division, thoemployment of women as letter-carriersmight be looked for in the near future.Ono of the difficulties in connection withtho employment of women in these positionswas tho necessity for providing separateaccommodation for them. This involvedvery considerable expense, and as tho de-partment was very hardly pressed for room,it had not, up to tho present, been possibleto provide the accommodation. Womenwero employed in nearly every branch oftho postal service, and girls as telegraphmessengers. Speaking generally, their em-ployment had resulted very satisfactorily.

A Taranaki soldier writes from Palestine:"I ain keeping very lit and have broadenedout, but am getting grey. Ihis is not to bewondered at, as a chap gets some decentfrights here, such as a shell passing so closethat the rush of air blows your hat olf, andincidentally makes your hair stand on end..But tlacko has something better than that,and it is a fair ' snorter'—the aeroplanebomb. This is tho true invention of thedevil, and nothing can disputo the claim,and it will turn black hair white in half aminute. You can hear them coming, but itis no use running away from them, as thoinfernal things don't come straight, and younever know where they are going to land.Thero is an amusing side to it, though, some-times. You may hear one coming, and en-deavour to burrow into the earth. Afterthe explosion you get up with a sickly grin,exclaim: 'By jove, that was close,' andthen feel about the size of a sandfly uponfinding that it had burSt about half a mileaway."

Tho Auckland branch of the AmalgamatedSociety of Railway Servants has interesteditself in tlio dismissal oi men from the main-toneo staff of the department. At a meetingof the branch it was stated that several menwere dismissed last week from tho casualstaff. Tho cases of four labourers and twocarpenters were mentioned, and it was statedtli.it- the terms of service of the men affectedranged from 30 months to 22 years. Whileit was admitted that maintenance wock wasslack, it was held that the men dismissedcould have been transferred to other railwayworks and younger men oould be shiftedinto positions which the older men couldnot fill. It was considered that these dis-missals showed inconsistency on tho part ofthe Government, which, it was declared, hadreduced the railway services because of theshortago of men and had then started dis-missing men merely because they were get-ting old, without regard to their usefulnessin other places. A resolution was passed pro-testing against the inconsistency of the Gov-ernment in dismissing men from the main-tenance department while it informed the

that it was impossible to get men.Tho district engineer, in reply to the men'sstatements, said there was little work in thomaintenance department at present, and thedepartment could not keep all tho men on.Other branches of service had their ownmen, and he oould not say whether theycould employ the men dismissed. It was notcustomary to transfer men to other depart-ments; but any man dismissed from onodepartment could apply for work in another.There was nothing against the men difrmissed; but he did not think the dismissalshad been made because of tho men'sll© pointed out that, although men workedmore slowly as they became older, theywanted the same wages as young men, sothat when retrenchment was neccssary thoolder men had to go.

COAL MINERS' WAGESOWNERS TO CONFER WITH

MINISTERS.(FSOII ODE OWW CoMBPOMMIItJ

WELLINGTON, June IS.The conference or meeting which is totake place on Wednesday between the coalmine owners and certain of the Minister*will bo interesting The executive is tomeet four of the Ministers—Sir Jas. Allen,Mr Herries, Mr Myers, and Mr Mao-Donald but up till the present the matterhas been handled almost wholly by theMinister of Mines (Mr MacDonaldLThrough hiia the Miners* Federation delo-gates have tried to get a conference withthe owners to vary an agreement that wasmade for the term of the war. The ownersrefused this request, as well as the earlierrequest from tho federation for a confer-ence. Now the executive of the MineOwners' Federation is to meet members ofthe Government to disease reasons for andagainst a conferenos, for that is the onlypurpose of the meeting. The only excusethat tho Government could have for inter-fering in tho matter is the extreme gravrtvof the situation regarding supplies,of coat.Tho shortage of coal is just as well knownto tho miners as it is to the owners, andthey are accordingly pressing the Govern-ment to force tho owners. The position ofthe Government, if it should attempt todo so, will be precarious. The ownoraknow well enough that if the Governmentchooses to do so it can compel a confer-ence The owners may agree to a confer-ence, and then refuse to give any conces-sions, insisting on the observance of theagreement now in existence, or they maysay to tho Government, something like this:"You order us to mipet the men; howmuch have we to give them?" If the Go-vernment should make any suggestion ofthe amount to be given, tho companies willat once point out the increase that willbe accessary in the price of coal, and theblame for the additional burden on thepeople will be placed by the owners whereit will rightly belong. It is practicallycertain that tho owners will show fight tothis extent.

Largo increases have arcady been givento the minora and the shift bands sine®tho beginning: of tho war, and in additionthe men have had more work. An ex-amination of the wages books of the minerswould probably shew that there is not amine cn tho West Coast where the averagetimo worked has been as much as fiveshiftaa week per man. The general average isprobably about four and a-half. All thesefacts will be 'nado quite clear to the Go-vernment., If the figures for the increasesin tho cost of living aro correctly takenout it will be made clear that the" oost ofliving has r.ot increased as much as thawages of the miners Lave already been in-creased.

(Received June 18, at 7.55 p.m.)Italian war correspondents state that thedate of the enemy's offensive -was fixed fora week ago. The Italian command wasprepared, and the enemy's movementsnever escaped observation, even in badweather, though large movements of troopswere carried out with the object of divert-ing attention from tho real point of attack.Ihe Italian-Fraiico-British artillery coun-ter-preparation began at midnight beforetho enemy's preparation had started, andtho Allies' artillery firo was so rapid andaccurate that the enemy's lines werethrown into confusion; even the infernalfire of 2000 Austrian guns failed to silenceour artillery. The enemy's first waves con-sisted of Czechs and Slovaks; but theirlosses were so heavy that they were with-drawn to the rear of Prineysad. Theeffort was entrusted to General Chenche-meil. who was ordered to descend bv Val-bremba to Bassano. while General Kirch-bach s army was ordered to cross thePiave, aiming at Treviso. The Austrianheavy guns .shelled towns and villages farin the roar, 500 gas shells falling in Trevisoalone.

LONDON, June 17.' (Reoeived June 18, at 9.35 p.m.)Mr Ward Price writes : The large num-ber of Austrians taken prisoner on theItalian sector indicates the energy of theattack and the determination with which

it Wjis countered. Most of the groundgamed was along the Piave, where theenemy made three principal crossings, andestablished three bridgeheads, preparatoryto blinding the Italian artillery and aero-planes with vast quantities of smoke shells.Both river trenches were enveloped in adense black fog. The Austrian patrolsliurned forward with boats and rafts andcrossed the river under a random fire, thenpulled over the reinforcements in pontoons.The most notable crossing occurred at theimportant Montello sector, where the Piaveleaves the mountains and enters the Vene-tian plain.

The results on the British sector werebetter. It is reported that earlier resist-ance exhausted four enemy divisions whosocasualties are estimated at 5000. Ourswere comparatively trifling. We took 700prisoners and captured many guns. Ourpatrols are constantly collecting abandonedwar material. The enemy is thoroughlydemoralised, and the deficiencies in com-parison with the British are more evidentthan ever before.

Apparency only 15 fresh divisions wereavailable for the continuance of a disap-pointing enterprise.The French flung back the enemy easilyafter a brief attack adjoining the Britishsector.

The troops have been highly trained andreorganised, and better fed. They havebeen granted an increase of pay, Insuredin . case of death, and provision made forreinstating the injured in civil life. Con-sequently tho spirit of the army is splen-did higher than it has ever been.It is believed that the forces of the bel-ligerents were about equal in numberand the opposing divisions about the same,although Austria has larger reserves.It is also believed that the presentoffensive was forced upon Austria bv theGerman High Command, owing to "pres-sure from the German people, despite theknowledge of the existence of disaffectionin the Austrian armv.

The gainsafter two days are very slight comparedwith the objectives assigned for the firstday.

Captured orders urge the necessity ofcapturing the fortified area with a viewto reaching the Italian supplies, and alsoprovide instructions for the army livingon the country's reoources and for per-sonal pillage.

A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCETERRIBLE STRUGGLE WITH DEATH.

LONDON, June 17..

grun 6tory is told of the destructionof one of Germany's most recent U boate.which was one of the last to leave Zee-brugge before that port was bottled up.Out of a crew of 40, only two survived,after a terrible struggle with death for 90minutes 20 fathoms below the surface,where the vessel foundered after strikinga mine. A number of the crew com-mitted suicide, believing they had' nochance of leaving the submarine alive,lhe commander was one of t<he most ex-P G

rl'tu the German submarine service.

� u ?T e?IC6;ion ca}lsecl b.Y the mine threwtne U boat's delicate machinery out ofgear, and portion of the vessel was plungedm darkness. The engineer succeeded inputting the submarine in a horizontal posi-tion and prevented her turning turtle.Water poured in aft An attempt toblow out the tanks proved unsuccese-iul, and the vessel would not rise to thesurface. The inrush of water increased,and the only chance of escaping was toforce open the conning tower and the for-ward hatches, and trust to the com-pressed air driving each man torpedo-liketo the surface. The effort to open one ofthe torpedo hatches proved futile, the out-side pressure being too great.The water mounted higher and highercreeping up the men's legs. The seacrater, mixing with the chemicals in theaccumulators, created a poisonous gas, andthe crew were faced with suffocation.Conditions became so terrible that someof the men began to lose their reason, andthrew themselves headlong into the waterto die. One tried to shoot himself, buthis revolver missed fire, and he alsojumped into the water at the bottom ofthe vessel.

After superhuman efforts the forwardnatch of the conning tower was forcedQpen and those still alive escapedthroughthe liatch. As they reached the surfacethe compressed air in their lunge burettheir lungs, and 20 of them sank withblood-curdling yells. A British trawlerpicked up the two survivors.

The Allies willsoon require intervention on the part ofJapan, which stands like an archer withhis bow bent. Japan's army exists invain if it is not used to win the gamewhich divides the world.

PASSENGER RATESINCREASE ON PACIFIC ROUTE.(Pa* United Parsa Association.)

WELLINGTON, June 18.Referring to a reported increase of pas-senger rates acros3 the Pacific fromAmericato New Zealand and Australia, the Post-master-general said it was understood thatthere was to be a general increase on allfares in British ships, and the first advicewas that this would apply also to trans-pacific ships. Since then the Governmentliad had contradictory reports, and wasconferring with the Union Steam ShipCompany to eco what the position wasexactly. The Government was directly in-terested because 'the conditions' underwhich the subsidy fp tho Vancouver ser-vice was paid might bo affected. One ofthe conditions of the payment of the sub-sidy was that passengers should be carriedat certain rates. The Government wouldhave to discuss with the Union Companywhether the proposed increase in rates wasjustifiable.

NOTES ON THE WAR CABLES.

Br Shkarokl.THE WEST FRONT AND ITALY.

From tlic west front tho news is veryscanty, tho most important items dealingwith raids by both sides and a straight outlocal battle north west of Cb&te&u Thierry.There the Germans attacked tho American*and drove them out of a small village, buta. vigorous oo iinto r-atttwuk by the Americansrecovered tho village. Another attack wasmado on the St. Mihiel front at Xivry, onthe southern arm of the German salient,iho Germans here also entered the village,but were again driven out. On tho Oiseand Aisno-Ourcq sectors there appeu.o tobo no activity, though tie Germans are pro-bably making preparations for fresh attacksto drive the French, out of the river angleseastward of tho Oise. North of the LaBassee Canal a raid made by the Britishwas very successful, over 200 prisoners beingtaken and nearly 1000 casualties inflicted.Air raids adjacent to the lines andraids upon the railway junctions, especiallythose near Metz, in Lorraine, have beeneffectively carried out by both the Britishand American airmen. The latter are nowgradually beginning to increase in numbersand in enterprise.

Most of tho Attention of correspondentsis now being directed towards the Italianfront, ajid no doubt the German GeneralStaff also is anxiously watching what istaking place there and is feverishly await-ing favourable reports, which the Austriamare doing their best to supply.

Not the slightest doubt can exist that the .Germans have forced Austria's hands, andthat the Austrians have attacked under thepressure put upon them from Berlin, andalso under • the stress of their own internal .conditions. In regard to the latter causeit hoped by Austria that if a victory is 'obtained it will strengthen the hands of theAustrian authorities and help them to allaythe discontent which appears to be grow-ing on all sides -within tho Dual Empire.This expedient, history tells us, h&s oftenbeen attempted by Governments and Kingato draw attention from an unpopular raleror monarch. There is always the risk of ■1 defeat followed by complications, or acrash within the,realms of the Power thaimakes such an attempt. The conditions inthe country have given rise to such acritical social, racial, and politicaltion that though Austria's hanHn have beenforced and her foroea have met with a de-cidedly severe oheok, the Government andGeneral 6taff must persevere with thecourse erf action which the necessity SlidGerman compulsion have imposed uponAustria. Except on the Piave, at Capo 'Sile, on the Old Piave, and north of Zenrson,- where the Troviso-Odcrzo railway 'crosses the Piave, the Austrians in theiropening efforts can lay claim to no greatsuccesses along the 150 kilometre line.They claim the capture of 15,000 mensome guns, and, though for such an ex-tensive battle front; and having the advan-tage of the initiative, that is not an alarm-ing total, from the nature of the conditions:that exist in Austria, there is a call fpr theauthorities to make the most of any suocesses obtained and the soore may be dis-counted. The truth appears to be thatthe Austrians have forced a crossing ofthe Piave on the Oderzo-Treviso railwayline, but are held by the Italians, arenot in a very safe position. Austrianlosses have been very considerable, and thebattle is not yet ended, the Italian General-issimo evidently being prepared to followup the battle if the enemy are npbAustria, however, finds that it is imperativeti continue the battle until victory or de-feat is certain. Everywhere along themountain barrier the Austrian effort -hasbeen severely checked, and that is the frontwhich :s the vital one. The loss of thePiave front will not be a seriouseven if it coours; but the PiaTe front willnot be lightly captured. Behind it ..theItalian communications are good, and Italyhas plenty of reserves. In crossing, thePiave without a successful flanking battlein the mountains to the north the Aus-trians are running into a trap.

PUBLIC SERVICE ASSOCIATIONANNUAL CONFERENCE.

(Pn Unitid Press Asbociatio*.)WELLINGTON, June 13.

The annual conference of the New Zea-land Public Service Association was com-menced to-day.

Mr Allport (the in addressingthe delegates, said that the membershiphad increased during the year by 555, mak-ing a total of 5490. Of those, 817 had leftwith the Expeditionary Faroes. While theywere away they would be relieved of thepayment of their contributions, which, innis opinion, was a very proper course. Itwas essential that they should oonsider thequestion of appointing- a permanent generalsecretary. Mr .F. W. Millar, the generalsecretary, had done invaluable service, bathe was unable to devote the whole of histime to the work. Heir relations with thePablio Service Commissioner were mostamicable. They had tree and full oppor-tunity of seeing him whenever they desiredto do so, and the commissioner was alwaysready to hear their representations andgive them consideration- Among the mat-ters to bo dealt with were the position ofmembers of the Police Force joining theassociation and the establishment of co-operative stores.

The conference carried the following re-mits:—"That the Government bo requestedto so amend "Tho Public Service Act,"1912.' as to provide for the control' of- theservice by a non-political board, in placaof a commissioner and two assistant com-missioners, as at present; such board toinclude at least one member to be electedby tho public servants who are membersof the Publio Service Association." "Thatthe Pnblic Service Association, whilerecognising that amendments are still re-quired in the system of commissioner con-trol, express their keen disappointment ifany attempt is made to revert to thasformer system of political control."

GEMMELL'S CROSSINGTRAGEDY.

VERDICT OF MURDER.

(Peb United Phess Association.)OAMARU, June 18.

The coroner's inquiry into tho death ofGeorge, Swan Burke, who v/as murdered atGommell's Crossing, near Oamaru, on thoevening of April 14-, was concluded thisafternoon l>efore Mr J. R. Bartholomew,S.M. (coroner).

After lengthy evidence had been sub-mitted by tho police, the coroner recordedthe following verdict:—"That George SwanBurke was murdered by Onslow Mayhcw bymeans of a bullet discharged from a rifle.at Gommell's Crossing on April 14."

THE NEW STARMr G- V. Hudson, who was tho first per-

son in Wellington to see the new star NovaAquila, writes in tho following generousetrcim in the Evening Post:—

"I could hardly have wished for any-thing better than that I should have beenforestalled by a schoolboy in picking upNova Aquila. The pity of it is that ourmuch-vaunted educational organisation willnot in any way recognise the astronomicalacumen which this lad lias shown, but willrather crush the spirit of true science whichis instinct within him. I observe that heis in tho Upper Fifth, Otago Boys'" HighSchool, and is forced to admit that he haslittle time for science; and yet forsooth itis alleged that science is encouraged inthe dominion! Would the New ZealandUniversity give such a lad a scholarshipstraight away and exempt him from furthercram, thus setting him free to follow hisbent in pure scicnco during the impression-able years of youth ? Suoh a proposalwould, I fear, be branded as preposterous,but that is what I would call real encour-agement to science. Examinations must,however, be parsed and degrees earnedwhilst our embryo Newtons, Darwins, andSpencers are exterminated in the process."

According to a cable message from Lon-don, published' last week, Greenwich officialsstate that the Hcotor Observatory, in NowZealand, was probably the first to discovertho now star. As it was at 10.45 p.m. onthe 9tli inst. that Mr Hudson observed thenew star, whereas Master Cruet observed itin Dunedin at 9.10 p.m., it seems most pro-bable that the credit of the discovery ofthe star belongs to the latter, who is apupil of the Boys' High School.

RETURNED SOLDIERS'ASSOCIATION.

The fortnightly meeting of the committeeof the Dunedin Returned Soldiers' Associa-tion was held last evening. Lieutenant-colonel Moir (vice-president) occupied thechair.

Accounts amounting to £8 12s lOd werepassed for payment.

Twenty-two returned soldiers were ad-mitted to membership, and the Mayor (MrJ. J. Clark) was admitted as an honorarymember.

The following transfers were approved:—

W. J. Fisher, to Invercargill; E. M. Mos-ley, to Christchurch; W. J. Berland, toWellington; L. D. Woolf, from Christ-church; E. J. R. Smeal, from Dannevirke.

The General Secretary of the New Zea-land Returned Soldiers' Association wrotestating that the newspaper Quick Marchwould, be supplied for a period to the insti-tutions in and around Dunedin where re-turned soldiers were undergoing treatment.Sir Jaines Allen wrote stating that' thequestion of making 'the increased separationallowances retrospective had received con-sideration by tho Cabinet, and it was re-gretted that the proposal of the associationcould not be adopted. The secretary of thePatriotic Association wrote regarding thesame matter, stating that the committee'sresolution had been forwarded to the Ad-visory Board for consideration.—lt was de-cided to thank the Patriotic Association forits interest, and to refer the Minister'sletter to the next general meeting of mem-bers for consideration. '

The Minister wrote, in reply to repre-sentations by the committee, stating thatevery facility was afforded returned soldiersto obtain commissions in the ExpeditionaryForce. A decision had now been arrivedat regarding the Territorial officers whohad declined to go into camp except ascommissioned officers, and he hoped thecourse adopted would prove to be in thebest interests of the service.—Received

The matter of military funerals wasbrought up for discussion, and the poorattendance at them was commented on. Itwas pointed out t.liai one reason why manymen would not attend was that their uni-form was not in a condition for a cere-monial parade. It was mentioned that,while 50 men leaving for the frorifc couldalways be provided with a band, it waaonly on week-ends that a band could bemustered for the burial of a returned sol-dier. It was also stated that local em-ployers showed a great disinclination toallow 'their employees leave to attend thesefunerals.—The matter was held over inthe meantime.

A communication was received from theDunedin City Corporation stating that theLibrary Committee intended 'to make arepresentative collection of relies andmementoes of the war, and it was suggestedthat a collection of the badges and buttonsof 'tho various New Zealand units wcraldmake a valuablo addition.—The letter wasreceived, and it was left in the hands ofthe secretary to collect as many of theseas pesoible.

(Pes United Phebs Association.)WELLINGTON, June 18.

A number of purchases of land suitablefor occupation by returned soldiers, in smallholdings, was approved by Cabinet to-day.Explaining what was being done, the Hon.D. H. Guthrie said provision had beenmade for returned soldiers wanting goodland for dairying.

Several ofthese properties had already been pur-chased, and returned soldiers were waitingto take them Tip at the prices paid for such-The Land Purchase Board was convincedthat soldiers going on the land had thovery best prospects of success.

A DEPARTING CHAPLAINFARFAVELL TO 11EY. A. HOPPER.

In the .St. lvildu Coronation Hall lastnight a public farewiiil was accorded toChaplain A. liopper, of tlio tit. KildaMxnliodist Clrurcn, wlio ia about to lcavu :on active service with a hospital ship, 'ilio ;Mayor of St. Kilda (Mr C. .N. Scurr) pro- isided, and thoro was a largo audicnce. jSeats on tho platform wero occupied by anumber of chaplains and ministers of vari- ,ous denominations, aud by prominent Jayrepresentatives ol tho Methodist Oflurch.

Tho Chairman oxpltunod that they hadmet, to bid farewell arid (J od - speed to theirfriend, Mr Hopper. His activities and hisinfluence extended far beyond his own con-gregation, as the audience present testi-lied; and oe Mayor of the borough he saidthat Mr Hopper had nover been behindin anything that tended to promote thewelfare of the borough. Those who hadloved ones at the front would liavo thoassuranco that in Mr Hopper they wouldfind a true and helpful friend in theirtime of greatest need.

The Rev. R. Fairinaid taid Mr Hopperwas not really leaving them, but only ex-tending his labours as minister of St. Kilda.He assured Mr Hopper of the heartiest sym-pathy of all his fellow-ministers in the dis-trict, -who 1 knew that ho would carry outhis new duties with the greatest acceptanceand sucoobs.

The Rev. R. Scott Allan expressed hiscongratulations and those of his congrega-tion to Mr Hopper on his appointment,and their sincere admiration of the stephe had taken. Ho expressed his personalregret that such a valued and helpfulfriend was leaving thein.

The Rev. S. Griffith (chairman of thoMethodist District) said he hod viewed withvery great arid peculiar satisfaction thofaithful and suoccssful work of Mr Hopperat St. Kilda, and so he regretted liis de-parture; but he felt that Mr Hopper'ssingular strength and gentleness of char-acter specially fitted him for the work towhich he had been called. Tho TrinityCircuit had beerl asked to release its secondminister, the Rev. J. R. Nelson, of Glen-avon, to fill tho vacancy at St. Kilda, andit had generously agreed to do so.Tho _ Rev. C. Eaton (senior Methodistohaplain) spoke of a remarkable religiousrevival that was taking place in France,largely as a result of the heroic part playedin tho war by the French priests. In "hisjudgment the more difficult work was notto fight, but to minister to the bodies andthe souls of _men. He shared in tho con-viction that if any man was fitted for thiswork that man was Chaplain Hopper. Hohanded over to him a cheque representinga collection for soldiers' comforts taken upa1: a memorial service to the late ChaplainAllen.

Tho Rev. R. Raine added his tribute tothe worth of the guest of tho evening,specially referring to his intensely activenature.

Mr T. Rosevear© spoke as representingthe St. Kilda Methodist Church. It wasa real wrench and a sacrifice for them topart with him, but they were willing togive of their very best for their brave boys.

Mr Hemer, on behalf of friends of MrHopper, presented him with a wristletwatoh as an expression of goodwill. MrMoffatt, on behalf of the boys and girlsof tho St. Kilda Methodist Junior Endea-veur Society, presented him with a leathermoney-belt.

Chaplain Hopper, in responding, ex-pressed his appreciation of the action ofthe Mayor ir. presiding, and of the sym-pathy and goodwill of so many outside nisown ccngregat'.on. He proceeded to givea kind of character sketch of every gentle-man seated on tho platform. He was gladtli.it in his new appointment he was calledupon to represent not only his own Church,but all the non-episcopal Churches. Hethanked them for everything they had saidand done to facilitate his going, and forthe useful and happily-selected gifts thathe would always associate with their kind-ness.

A collection was taken up for a soldiers'comforts fund, to be administered by Chap-lain Hopper, and £13 was received.

During the evening a keenly-appreciatedmusical programme was contributed to b.vMisses Pridham (solos), Raine (solos). Tor-rens (solos), Mrs Slirimpton (solo). Mr Hall(eoIo), and Mesdaincs MTuachlan andShrimpton (vocal duet).

PERSONAL.The Rev. P. R. Paris, chaplain to the

forces, who has been in charge of tho Do-minion Road Methodist Church, Auckland,for the past two years, has been appointedto take charge of tho United Institute atFeatherston Camp (says the New ZealandHerald).Mr Frank H. Williams has arrived intown to make arrangements for a season bythe "Look Who's Here" Company.Mr A. Anderson, who has occupied tho

position of manager of the Roxburghbranch of the Bank of New Zealand for tlicpast seven years, was tho recipient of seve-ral presentations on the eve of his departurefor Alexandra, to which branch he hasbeen transferred. Last Thursday eveningtho residents of the district tendered MrsAnderson and himself a public social, and atan interval in the proceedings Mr JohnBwing, on behalf of the public, presentedAnderson with & purse of sovereigns. Asocial was tendered them also on the fol-lowing evening by the Tennis Club, and onSaturday evening a private gathering ofcitizens met Mr Anderson, and on their be-half Mr R. MaePha.il presented him with agold albert and gold cigarette-holder as atoken of their esteem. At Millers Flat,Mr Anderson was again entertained andpresented with a handsome gold albert-.These presentations are indicative of thehigh esteem in which Mr Anderson lws boonheld in the community, which (our corres-pondent -writes) sustains a distinct loss inhis departure.

An old identity of the Clutha district inthe person of Mrs Catherine Sutherlandpassed away on Friday morning at- tho resi-dence of her daughter (Mrs Findlater), Bai-clutha. The deceased lady, who was in hereighty-fourth, year, 'was born and educatedat Newport, Caithness, Scotland, and emi-grated to New Zealand in company withher husband, the late Mr William Suther-land, in 1856, landing at Port Chalmers.After remaining at Dunedm for about sixmonths, _Mr apd Mrs Sutherland went totho Taicri district, tho former havingaccepted employment on the farm of tliolate Mr John Gillies.

The German craft was ■ '' put outof commission" by four American shells.The report of the commanding- officer says:

"The periscope was sighted about 1000yards distant at tho same time as tho tor-pedo was seen approaching. The vessel'sstern was ' struck' cloar in timo to avoidthe torpedo, and tho Nyanza opened firewith her aft gnn. The submarine fellrapidly astern, and then came to the sur-face and gave chase. At about 7000 yardstho submarine opened firo from two of herguns, using shrapnel, and zig-zagging iriorder to use both guns at tho same time.After a number of shots had fallen short thosubmarine got range, and hit the Nyaw-afivo times.

is its abound-ing prosperity. All tnat is to be feared isfcliat the people who havo been enjoyingthis prosperity foi- so many years may boprono to think that bad t.mos may nevercome. When 0110 notices the high pricesof land and tho correspondaigly high pricesof all tho primary products, one cannotbut reflect upon the great dislocation ofbusiness and the consequent disorder andsuffering which would follow a serious fallin these valuos. It must bo honed thatsuch a reverse may not bo experienced.In Australia, 110 matter how prosperous thecountry may be, reeidorits always havo tokeep in tho back of their minds the pos-sibility of seven lean years following seven*yens oi plenty; but in New Zealand, withits regular seasons and abundance oi rain,there seems to bo a tendency to rcgurdboom times as permanent. Let it bo hopedthat this view may not prove to be aniilusory one."

The gallant and successful part taken byNew Zealand soldiers in the war was nextreferred to by Sir Robert. '' Your sol-diers," he said, "are forcing New Zealandin a most striking manner upon the atten-tion of the Old Country and the world.Probably not in the whole history of theBritish Emph-o has there been another caseof a young country of only a little morethan a million inhabitants cutting such aswath as New Zealand has cut in the pre-sent war. As compared with Australia,New Zealand is in the fortunate positionof having- four leading centres instead oftho one-capital system that prevails in theStates of tho commonwealth. With thomeasure of decentralisation thus attained inyour dominion poverty and unemploymentare not likely to develop as, for example,in New South Wales, with its Sydney of800,000 inhabitants out of a total Statepopulation of one and three-quarter mil-lions. A similar proportion exists in Vic-toria and Melbourne. Too much power ocentred in these large cities, and New Zea-land is to bo congratulated 011 the differentconditions obtaining within its borders."

In reply to an observation regarding thewar. Sir Robert said ho believed there ismuch yet untold regarding 'the brilliantpart that the troops of New Zealand andthe other oversea domnions are playing inthe war. "I am sure," he said, " that themore of the truth 'that is told tho greaterwill be the pride that the dominions willfeel in the gallantry of their soldiers."

CLUTHA PRESBYTERYThe Presbytery of Clutha held its bet

meeting at Milton. The Rev. Mr MTtow-all (moderator) presided.

Tho question of establishing a Presby-terian Sunday School Association was intro-duced, discussed, and it was agreed to post-pone further consideration till next meet-ing.

The question of depositing early records insafe keeping was considered, and it wasdecided " that a strong room bo built atBalchitha where the records can be stored."—Further consideration of the matter wasadjourned till next meeting.

Mr Durward reported that ha was nowenabled to refund to Mr Taylor the moneyhe had advanced for payment of the specialcopy of "The Nation," issued in connec-tion with the Luther centenary, and movedthat a hearty vote of thanks be acoorded toMr Taylor.—Agreed to.

In connection with the new Book ofOrder, Mr Reid gave notice of tho follow-ing motion: "TTiat the moderator of asession be allowed to depute one of hiselders to act as moderator."

The question of overturing the Assemblyon the matter of union of ohurchcs wasdeferred till next meeting.

The Assembly remit relating to Susten-tation Fund regulations was laid • on thetable. A committee consisting of MessrsDurward. Ponder, and Rose was appointedto report to next Presbytery.

It was decided that the Rev. G. G. Cull(Ratanuil be given power to dispense thesacramcnts.

The Presbytery recorded its hearty ap-preciation of Mr Heard's services as homomissionary at Papatowai. and its pleasureat findinrr that the district could now dis-pense with special Presbytery aid.

_ The Presbytery approved of the constitu-tion and objects of the Presbyterian Men'sLeague, and resolved to pive tho organisingagent a hearty welcome when he visited thodistrict.

AMUSEMENTS.The change of programme at the Queen'sand King Edward Theatres to-day willfeature ALma Rubens in the Triangle super-feature "I Love You," and as Felioe, or

"The Passion Flower," she has a role forwhich her beauty and fascinating tempera-ment are perfectly suited. The story is afascinating one. There are good supportingsubjects.

There was a good attendance at the Octa-gon Theatre last evening. The chief filmis "Womanhood." It is a story of awoman's love for a man, her child, andher country, and depicts how she was placedin the position of having to deoide betweenher devotion to her country and those dearto her. The supporting pictures are pood.

An interesting programme attracts largoaudiences to the Plaza, Theatre. "Flamesof Chance," a fine war story, tells tho ad-ventures of a young lady who makes her■way into tho, prisoners' camp in Germanyand arranges for the release of the men.The photography is excellent. A number ofgood supports are also shown.

An original idea in a detective story is arare thing, but it is certainly contained inthe photo-drama entitled "The Blind Ad-venture," to be screened at Everybody'sTheatre to-day. Edward Ea.rle takes thorole of a young American named GeoffreyWest. The end of the story comes withgripping suddenness. A full supporting pro-gramme is promised.

WATERSIDE ACCIDENTS.TO TUB EDITOR.

Sib,—Being a duly qualified quarry mana-ger under the Mines Department, Inaturally took a keen interest inthe expert and intelligent evidencegiven beiore the Waterside Accidents Com-mission. With a sea-faring experience ofsix years, and a Publio Works experience ofmore than 20 years, I firmly believe more'than 90 per cent, of the accydents whichdaily oocur are preventible. No class ofwork calls for more caution, general know-ledge of a practical kind, and intelligentmethodical application of what is known tothe case in hand for the time being thanrailway construction. Next in order oomoaccidents on the waterfront. In both oasesgear plays an important part in the safetyof men. When the commission was takingevidence at Port Chalmers one witness saidthat in his opinion gear should be over-hauled every 12 months; the wharfinger totho Union Company reckoned all runninggear should be overhauled every six months;and another witness reckoned the gear shouldbe overhauled once a month. Seeing thatthere is such a divergence of opinion on thesubject, I suggest that all legislation for thoprevention ot accidents on the waterfrontre-embody the principle of the safeguardsprovided in the Act under which I hold! mylicense as quarry manager. The followingrule is laid down for the guidance of allconcerned: —"Before any rope or chain isused in a quarry, and periodically thereafterat intervals of not more than tlireo months,the rope or chain shall be tested and provedto bo equal to carrying twice the weight'of the ordinary load: sueh tests shall bomade in the presence of some person ap-pointed for that purpose by tho quarrymenengaged in the quarry." ,

One of thewitnesses at the inquiry said thobreaking strain of an lgin wire rope wasabout five tons. He does not seem to havestated under what conditions he estimatestho breaking strain of tho wire rope; northe kind of wire ropo upon which he baseshis resultant calculation. Another witnesssaid that a safe working load on a 2iuflexible steel wire would be two tons twocwt, and the breaking strain of the samewire was 12 tons 7cwt; but, again, the con-ditions under which he makes his resultantcalculation were not stated. There are alot of differentiating factors which comainto play, such as the kind of wire rope—

that is to say, tho kind of steel used—the length of winding, tho weightof winding, the anglo of winding,the resistances of lead, etc., the age oftho rope, and the conditions under whichgear is stored and kept. The rules for cal-culating the ultimate strength, the proofstrength, and safety strength axe wellknown and universally practised. The wit-nesses to whom I have referred may beright; they may use a class of rope ofwhich I nave no knowledge. Suppose,however, wo have a fairly good steel wirerope, 2iu in circumference. The breakingstrain on such a rope, under average con-ditions of stress, due to the resistances tobo overcome, the jerking and jolting ofwinches, eta, would be, in my opinion,about 10.8 tons, and the safety load 1.8ton. In the case of the liin wire rope thobreaking strain would be 3.375 tons, andthe safety load 11.25cwt. By anothermethod, which presupposes straight up anddown winding without jerking or jolting,the wire running under most favourableconditions us to smoothness of running,and also at average speed, I find that thobreaking strain of the 2in rope equals 11.2tons, and the safety load 1.8 'ton. By thesame method the breaking strain of the14in rope would be -5.375 tons, and the safeworking load 14cwt-

Among other statements made before thecommission was one that the White Starahips had to renew the boat-falls everyvoyage, and that, as the rope was as goodas ever, it was used for slings. Rememberthat there :iro rigid boat drill regulationson a White Star liner, and that on thepassage to and from America the boat-fallahave to be used many times, if only forboat drill; and consider also tile exposureto the weather, etc. In my opinion, al-though the boat-falla might be used aaslings, tho ropes could not possibly be "asgood as ever." It would not be logical tosay so. Doubt was also expressed as tothe authority of the Government inspectorsto examine gear and condcmn gear, ifnecessary, as tho gear was passed by theBritish Board of Trade. I always thoughtthat it was settled long ago that theGovernment of New Zealand had absolutecontrol over its own regulations as regardsshipping while such shipping was in NowZealand waters.I wish my remarks on the aboTo subject

to be taken as in no way whatever reflect-ing on tho ability and sincerity of thosewho so ably gave evidence before the com-mission of inquiry.—l am, etc.,

Jas. Faibiie Moerm.

DELAY IS DANGEROUSWe all remember the pretty story of the

little hero, who saved his native village inHolland, by. stopping with his hand,throughout the whole of a dark, tumultu-ous night, the gentle trickle of the seathrough a leak in the dyko. Had he notdone so the wild sea must surely haveworn its way through the dyke and floodedthe village. Similar danger threatens ushere. Hundreds of backs are aching, yetpeople are neglecting this warning, and it'sso easy to check kidney disease if takenin time; but don't neglect the first warn-ings. Bead how the danger can beaverted:

Mr R. S. Thompson, 6 Mstcaodrew road,South Dunodin, says: "Some years ago Iwas so ill with kidney trouble that I hadto lie up for days at a stretch. MT backached terribly, and at times I could hardlymove without enduring positive agony; theonly thing for me was to stay in bed, buteven then I got very little rest from theconstant pain. I was almost crippled withtho ailment, and was getting quite despond-ent about the poor state of my health. Be-sides backache I had trouble with the secre-tions; they were thick and' cloudy, and con-tained a red sediment. A friend of mine,knowing how I was suffering, suggestedthat I should try Doan's Backache KidneyPills, so I sent for a bottle without delay.After taking them for a few days, care-fully following the directions, I was de-lighted to find they were doing mo good,and as I persevered my health rapidlv im-prover!. three bottles of these grand pillscuring n: • completely. J feel splendid now.find haw ever since I used Doan'sBackache Kidnev Pills. They are the best.remedy known for kidney trouble."

Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are sold byall chemists and storekeepers at 3s per

j bottle (six bottles, 16s 6rl). or will bo poetedon receipt of price by Foster-M'Clollan Co.,76 Pitt street, Sydney.

"CIVIS " ON GAVAN DUFFY.TO THK BDITOB. '

Sir.—My attention has been drawn to anote by your contributor "Civis" in yourissue of the Bt-h , inst., in which, re-to the conviction of Smith0 Bnen in '48, he ,says that "arrested,

convicted, sentenced, like his leaderto • transportation, Charles Gavan Duffycame to political greatness in Victoria andreceived the honour of knighthood from theQueen. Times and oft nis doabt did SirCharles recall the escapades of big saladdays, more in laughter than in tears."

As "Civis" is entirely wrong in theeeremarks, with the exception of Mr Duffybeing knighted, will you kindly grant'mespace to correct him?_Mr Duffy, as he then was, was not oan-victed. The Government tried four timesafter Smith O'Brien's conviction to convicthim but failed. A few yearsafter—in '52—Mr Duffy was elected a member of theHouse of Conxmohs. He retired fromParliament in '55, and in the sameyear emigrated with lis family toVictoria. There he, became a. mem-ber of more

_

than one pabinet, andfinally Premier in '72. A leading memberof the Assembly—Thomas Howard Fellows,a great lawyer of those days and later onMr Justice Fellows—moved a vote of wantof confidence in the new Government, andhis _ speech was . seasoned with, suggestionagainst Mr Duffy's policy as an Irishman inIreland. Mr Duffy answered thispart o! Mr Fellows's speech in themwords:

"I will soon hove to account for mywhole life and I feel that it has been de-faced by many sins and sho?t&omingß;but there is ony portion of it I mustexcept from this oenfcure. I can saywithout fear and without impiety thatwheii I am called before the Judge of allmen, I shall not fear to answer for myIrish career.

'

I did what I believed best-for Ireland, without any -relation to itseffects on myself. lam challenged to ,

. justify myself. for having been an Irishrebel under penalty of your fatal cen-sure; and I am content to reply thai the'recollection that when my native countrywas in mortal-peril I was among thosewho staked life for her deliverance is •a memory I would not exchange for any-thing that Parliament or Sovereigns .cangive or take away." (

Ope can hardly characterise this a "re-calling, his salad days more in laughter thanin tears." Mr Followb'b motion was de-feated by a large majority. I get the factain this letter from Duffy's "My Life inTwo Hemispheres."—l am, etc.,

J. B. C&IXAH.Napier, June 15.

, A PUBLIC SCANDAL.TO • THI KDITOB.

Sir,—"Cockatoo" strikes the right note•in his reference to proseoutkras under theRabbit Act. Why should omo or two menin any district be selected for prosecutionwhilst scores of others • equally <?ulpa£)loescape? . Some parts of Otago and South-land literally swarm with rabbits becausethere is no labour 'to cope with two trouble.In place, stoats, weasels, and wild ferretskeep rabbits within check. The inspectorsappointed by the Government at such heavycost literally do nothing in this direction,and make no attempt to keep Crown landsclear of -what they term "the pest."Noxious weeds and hedge olants grow worseevery year, and gdl&e, broom ,and\ briarhave even reached the' snow-line in NorthCanterbury and Nelson. The overgrownagricultural department even allows greatclumps of hedge plants to flourish withinsight of the Parliamen£~"House iji Welling-ton. There are a hundred dorks, officials,and inspectors in Wellington alone, andmany of them are now- being providedwith motor cars at the taxpayers' expense.If the department controlled by Mr Masseykept down rabbits and noxious weeds theremight be some excuse for its existence. MrMassey's latest fad was to erect bouses ata cost of over a-thousand poundsfor these inspectors; irrespective of the ooetof land as sites. The Sate farms in theNorth Island are carried on at considerableloss, running into thousands per annum.One manager said recently that these farmsattracted may thousands of visitors. Yes,because freo wine is. provided for visitors adlib. The men are no longer styled rabbitinspectors, but field instructors, who travelamongst farmers to " teach their grand-mothers to suok eggs." The. bulk of thebusiness of the Agricultural Department isan expensive farce, too costly for .wartime.Men have been in the employ of the de-partment for a quarter of a century thathave never earned their salt, and I <Wyanyone to prove their utility or benefit tothe State.—l am, eta, Taxpayer

FIREMEN IN TROUBLE{ALLEGED TO BE ABSENT "WITHOUT

LEAVE.

INTERESTING LEGAL POINT.Some little excitement was aroused in the

yicinity of the police station yesterday morn-ing when a couple of oars, conveying anumber of policeman, were observed leav-ing tko station for the wharf. Tho cause ofthe journey of tho police was made clear intho afternoon, when Hcllgron, ArthurFeodor Sanclell, and Edward FerderickApplegren—three smart-looking young men—appeared beforo Mr H. A. Young, S.M.,on a charge of leaving their ship withoutleave. Only one of the men. could speakEnglish with any fluency. Mr Ramsay ap-peared to prosecute, and Mr Irwin on be-half of the men.

Mr Ramsay said tho tliree men were fire-men on board an oversea Swedish steamer,now lying at Dunedin. They were chargedwith leaving their ship without getting theordinary permission to do so. Counsel thenprooeeded to quote tho sections of the Ship-ping and Seamen's Act boaring on thecharge.

Carl Gustav Hollberg, master of thesteamer, said his ship was registered atGothenburg, Sweden. The threo men wereabsent from tho ship on Monday nightwithout leave. They should have obtainedleave from the second engineer.

To Mr Irwin: These men were supposedto be sick during- tho day, and if thoy o'idnot work during the day his orders verethat they should not be given leave at night,as they would bo better aboard the ship.

Axel Viotorine, second engineer on thevessel, said the three men had not his pep-mission to leave the ship; but notwith-standing that they went off.

To Mr Irwin : The men were off from 6o'clock till about 12 o'clock. Thay thencamo back. The men were working whenarrested by the police. The men requiredpasses to get past tho military guard atthe wharf. He saw tihe men in town in thoevening. The chief engineer did not tellthe men that they <*onkl go ashore. If thechief engineer said the men could go tiiaiwould be sufficient.

Re-examined, witness said he did not giveany passes to the men.

Mr Irwin submitted that under section342 of the Shipping and Seamen's Act, re-lating to foreign deserters, only ships of anation which applied to be gazetted underthe section could bo dealt with by the sec-tion. The Gazette notice was sufficient ervi-denoe. The Gazette notice produced re-ferred to the kingdom of Norway andSweden when they were a combined nation.Since that Gazette was published the twonations had separated, and had at presenttwo Consuls representing them here. Theseparato kingdoms of Norway and Swedenhad not applied to be gazetted. Thereforethe provisions of this Act could not beinvoked.

MrRamsay maintained that the provisionsof the Act clearly applied to both Norwayand Sweden. It did not matter -whetherthey were combined or not. The Act mightapply to either.

Mr Irwin said Sweden had not signifiedher intention oi having the Act applied toher. The court -was asked to assume thatshe wished her sailors to be treated in thisway. The fact that the two nationswere combined at the date of the Gazetteiiotice in 1863 had nothing to do with theattitude of Sweden at the present time. MrIrwin then pointed out that Poland was notnow part of the Russian Empire, and hesupposed, according to his legal friend'sargument, that a ship registered in Polandwould now be bound by a Gazette referringto Russia.

Mr Ramsay remarked that he would likeMr Irwin to name one ship on the seasregistered in Poland. He would be verysurprised if he could do so.

His Worship said he would let the ques-tion raised by Mr Irwin stand over in themeantime.

Mr Irwin said it had been proved to thecourt that at least one other man had powerto give the men leave. They had to presentleave passes to tile military guard. Hesuggested there was no evidence to satisfythe court that they -were absent withoutleave. It was a very serious matter for themen, and the case should be properly provedbefore the court could come to any correctconclusion. The case had not been provedon the facts, and he also submtited that thecourt had no jurisdiction on the law. Hedid not propose to put the men in thewitness box.

Mr Ramsay said it would be very easy forMr Irwin to put the men in the box andget them to swear that they had receivedleave.

Mr Irwin remarked that he had a reool-lection of the quetsion in re Sweden andNorway having come previously before thecourt.

His Worship said_ he -would remand thecase till next day in order to enable himto look tip the legal point

CHABGE OF ASSAULT.Holmer Bergstrom, who was arrested atthe same time as the other three men, wasthen charged with assaulting the second

engineer.It was decided to adjourn this case also.

DOCTORS WITH BRITISH ARMYNOBLE SELF-SACRIFICE.

When the full story of the recent fightingon the western front comes to be toldthere will be revealed episodes of heroismon tho part of the regimental and fieldambulance doctors, and also of theR.A.M.C. mew attached to the aid postsand dressing stations second to none inthe history of th© British iimpire (says aLondon paper of April 14).

Briefly, this heroism resolved itself intothe determination of the medical men tostay behind, whatever the cost, and tendto the stream of wounded which was beingearned in.When the German offensive commencedon the morning of March 21, and theBritish battalions fought until they dropped,the regimental aid posts, field ambulances,and 'dressing stations immediately foundtheir, hands full. Wounded men poured inunceasingly j th© doctors and dresserssimply worked on blindly, oblivious toeverything but the task in hand.

The tide of battle swept onward; themasses of German troops Hung at our lin©Swept into our trenches, and, after a shorttime, found the aid posts and field ambu-lances. The thought of retiring -with theother troops had never entered the heads ofdoctors and dressers. They were at theirposts when the Germans entered, and inall probability remained there for sometime, later tending to the thousands ofGerman wounded lying in No Man's Land.

When the German advance finally en-gulfed dressing stations as -well aa aidposts and field ambulances, the British staffwas still attending to the wounded. Latera few men managed to get away, and toldthe story of what, had happened.It is not possible yet to ascertain howmany regimental doctors have never re-joined their battalions. In the casualty listthe names of 10 R.A.M.C. doctors aroposted as missing. Probably the truestory of how our men retired fighting, leav-ing behind the doctors, dressers, andstretcher-bearers, cannot be told for sometime.

.The spirit of self-sacrifice and devotionto duty which has always characterised ourmedical men at the front has never beenbettor shown. Soldiers in Prance—particu-larly infantrymen—sometimes think theirregimental doctors live an easy life, but i'is during a battle that the doctor shows upin his true colours. Blind, unceasing work,sometimes for 72 hours on ond, with barelytime for food and drink, with war in ailits naked horror before him all the time,is all the army doctor has to look forwardto when tho troops are in action.

Especially has this been emphasised dur-ing the fighting of the past fortnight, whenthe doctors and their _ dressars were oftenunaware that the British troops were fall-ing baek.

The committee recom-mended that consideration of appointmentof lectures on botany bo held over for oneyear. _ With reference to the appointmentof

_assistants to science professors, the com-mittee pointed out that the present lackof assistants was chiefly due to the faet

that suitable men were not available. Thecouncil would no doubt consider the makingof suitable appointments as soon as such acourse was possible—The report was re-ferred to the Finance ® Committee withpower to act.
