THE EUROPEAN NEUTRALS.
Within- the past few days, all theneutral States whose territories liewithin reach of Germany's militarypower have renewed their proclama-tions of strict neutrality. Hollandand Switzerland, speaking throughtheir governments, have reaffirmedtheir determination to avoid partici-pation in active hostilities, but havemade it clear that any violation oftheir frontiers will be opposed byarmed force. Representatives of thethree Scandinavian States have metagain in conference and renewedtheir agreement to support oneanother in their attitude of completedetachment from the war. Thisagreement among the neighbours ofGermany is obviously dictated by-considerations of common prudence,for over three years, they havelain under the peril of invasion byan enemy who has proved himself tobe absolutely devoid of mercy. Theyhave suffered much, but they areprepared to suffer a great deal morerather than to risk the fate of Bel-gium. They have proclaimed theirsovereign rights, but German terror-ism has forced them to bear insult insilence and injury with meekness.Ten months ago Germany declaredopen war on the world's shipping.None of her neutral neighboursdared to accept the challenge, norto follow the example of the Ameri-can republics, secure in the isolationof the Atlantic, in breaking off rela-tions with the Power that rattledthe sword at their doors. Chieflyby their geographical situation,partly by material " interests, thesmall nations of Western Europehave been constrained to adopt aline of conduct in which they mustbe slow in giving and slower intaking offence.
The policy of the five neutral gov-ernments is generally supported bytheir peoples. Three years of warhave assimilated divergent opinionsto a common level in the recognitionthat neutrality is the only safecourse amidst the perils thatthreaten them. Though there stillremains an active pro-Germanelement in Sweden, the great bodyof sympathy in these nations leanstowards the Allies, having eithe-preserved its original tendency orhaving been alienated from theCentral Powers by their deliberateviolation of international law andof the elementary principles ofhumanity. But while the neutralnations long for the victory of theAllies that will liberate them fromGerman oppression, they do not sub-mit willingly to the privations whichthe war has imposed upon them.They have never ceased to protestat the allied blockade, and theirdiscontent has been increased by themeasures brought into operationwithin the past few months to moreeffectively cut off supplies from Ger-many. The policy of the Allies hasbeen clearly defined. Tl:';y are pre-pared to satisfy the reqni-ements ofneutrals, as far as possible, but theydemand guarantees that no suppliespassed through the blockade shall beallowed to reach the enemy. Noneof the neutrals is prepared to giveany satisfactory undertaking. Theyprotest that the war has preventedcommunication with sources uponwhich they were largely dependent,that as neutrals they should be ableto continue their ordinary com-mercial relations, and that if theyagree to the terms of the AlliesGermany will declare that theiractions are hostile, and they willbe drawn into the war. Naturallythe Allies sympathise with them intheir difficult situation, but theypoint out that while the official atti-tude is one of strict neutralitythere is overwhelming evidence thattheir merchants have carried on ahighly-profitable trade with tier-many in foodstuffs and other goods,largely secured from Allied coun-tries, and that the depletion ofstocks to satisfy German demandsis the principal cause of thedomestic hardship of which theycomplain. The neutrals proposethat they should be allowed tosupply to Germany merely sufficientfoodstuffs to maintain their neu-
j trality, and to obtain in exchange■ the coal and other raw materialsupon which their economic stabilitydepends. But the Allies reply thattrading under such restrictionswould assist Germany to resist theblockade, and they refuse to makefurther concession.
The entry of America into thewar deprived the European neutralsof the most vigorous champion oftheir interests. All the argumentswith which they now seek to impressthe Allies were developed by '"
Wilson with force and persistenceso long as lie v. as the head of aneutral nation. He has now becomethe most active agent in consolidat-
ing the blockade policy. Within afew* months of declaring war heissued a proclamation establishingcomplete control over the exportsfrom America with the express pur-pose of ensuring "that neutrals arehusbanding their own resources andthat supplies do not become avail-able, either directly or indirectly,to feed the enemy.'' The "embargo"of July, which related only to speci-fied goods, was followed at the endof August by another proclamationby which the export of practicallyall articles of commerce to the neu-tral countries of Europe was pro-hibited, except under Governmentlicense. Under war conditions it isupon America chiefly that theneutrals rely for the satisfaction oftheir needs, and the operation ofthese restrictions has been followedby the arrival in "Washington ofmissions from most of the countriesconcerned, entrusted with the taskof negotiating for the delivery ofnecessary supplies. ''It is our wishand intention to minister to theneeds of the neutral nations as faras our resources permit," Mr-Wilson has stated, but Americamakes "the very proper qualifica-tion that the liberation of oursurplus products shall not be madethe occasion of benefit to theenemy." The Western Alliance isfixed in its determination to main-tain this policy. It is bearing thegreat burden of a war that willestablish • the freedom of Europeand guarantee the security of theweaker nations, and it asks thatthose nations should be preparedto pay the price of loss of tradeand of national hardship as theircontribution to the right which is inprogress in the cause of right andjustice.
THE ALLIES AND RUSSIA,
The bald statement that the AlliedConference at Paris reached anagreement with regard to Russia isunsatisfying, but it is probably allthat can with safety be given outfrom official sources. In unofficialquarters the probabilities ofJapanese intervention are beingfreely discussed. So far Japan hasgiven no sign of her intentions, butin the absence of specific news thepresence of Japanese representa-tives in the Allied mission whichwent to the Russian front to repre-sent the "serious consequences'' ofany breach of the Pact of Londonmay be set against the repeateddeclaration that no Japanesetroops are likely to be sent toEurope. Whether a Japaneseoccupation of the Pacific seaboardof Russia would disturb theBolsheviks in their negotiations,with Germany may be doubted- Itis probably more than this that M.Clemenceau is reported to be urgingupon all the Allies, including Japan.Whatever the decision may be thesituation is not an easy one tomeet. If intervention becomesnecessary to prevent Germany fromexploiting Russia all the militaryand material considerations point toa landing of Japanese troops, butwhen the possible attitude of theRussians is considered difficultiesimmediately present themselves. Inthe democratic atmosphere ofRussia the Mikado's soldiers mightbe the objects of some mistrust,even by Russians who are in fullsympathy with the Allies and hostileto the Bolsheviks. It is probablethat ar; American army would bemore generally welcomed, and even jat some inconvenience it may benecessary for America to demon-strate her sympathy with Russian!democracy by sharing with Japan'the unpleasant task of protectingAllied interests in Russia. Forguidance upon such delicate pointsthe Allies must rely upon their oldand tried Russian friends who arealive to the German danger. SuchRussian patriots are still numerous,and it is not improbable that theymay soon find an opportunity tomake their influence felt in thegovernment of the country.
THE NEGLECTED EAST COAST.
During a visit to the East CoastMr. Arthur Gillies, expert adviserin Auckland to the Efficiency Board,has been struck with the slow pro-gress of the railway through thisfertile but undeveloped district.His comments on the subject arcsound, and his suggestions reason-able and practicable. There isurgent need for the change in ad-ministrative policy which he advo-cates. Less luxury in city build-ings and more energy in constructingrailways and roads to increase pro-duction would give a war-time aspectto the activities of the PublicWorks Department which is nowentirely lacking. It is, in fact, onlya matter of courtesy to say we havea Public Works policy. The neglectof the East Coast Railway is im-politic, and it is dangerous. Noproject now before the Public WorksDepartment would so handsomelyrepay expenditure ; no outlay couldbring such speedy and rich resultsin settlement, exports, and railwayrevenue. A Government anxious torelieve the Dominio.i of the growingburden of war debt would seize uponit as a scheme meeting all the teststhat a body of capable business mencould apply. Yet the works areclosed down at the Waihi end. andthe sections under construction areprogressing at a snail's pace. Thereare. of course, limits to the labourat present available, but it cannotbe contended that these have beenreached, nor is there any sign ofsuch Departmental appreciation ofthe importance of the line as wouldencourage the belief that vigorousconstruction will he undertakenwhen labour is abundant. The earlvcompletion of the whole railway asa main line from Auckland to Gin-borne should be the first article ofthe political faith of every residentof the East Coast. Instead of thisMr. Gillies has found a tendency tosupport certain local sections againstothers, and a consequent lack ofunity. This is regrettable, for itcan only delay the work, perpetuatethe isolation of flic district andretard settlement. If residents of
the localities to be traversed by therailway take narrow views and splitinto hostile camps we are likely tohave more battles of the routes anda repetition of all the uncertaintiesand squabbles which have been soserious a check upon the progress ofAuckland railways in the past.There should he no " Little EastCoasters." Every resident of theEast Coast should he an advocate ofa "great national line which all mem-bers of Parliament can support uponthe incontestable ground that it is ahighly profitable investment.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
BUNDING THE SUBMARINE.A writer iii the Daily Telegraph makesthe following statement regarding thodefence of shipping against submarines:—It can be stated on official authoritythat, the results of the methods adoptedduring the past mouth give cause forgrowing confidence. No sensational in-ventions are being used, and no sensationalresults may be expected. The sinkingswill continue, but the submarine is de-feated. It the public know what weknow they would not have the slightestanxiety, and the criticisms of navalmethods would stop at once. Good re-sults are being secured from the smoke-cloud defence system, and it is stated thatdozens of ships have been saved by itsadoption. The system has been in usefor some months on British ships-, and thegreat majority of British merchantmenhave been supplied by the Admiralty withsmoke-boxes. These boxes, with thesmoke funnel, are for the production ofsmoke on board the vessel attacked. Thesmoke funnel requites only fuel for its con-tinual use. The smoke-boxes are furthrowing overboard, and once used can-not be recovered. They produce densevolumes of smoke, and, skilfully used,completely baffle submarines. The UnitedStates Navy Department is having hugequantities manufactured, and the Depart-ment, in view of the reports of Britishand American captains, states that smoke-producing apparatus should be availablefor every vessel. It is regarded in navalcircles as of great importance for the pro-tection of merchant vessels.
BRITISH BORROWING. iThe campaign for ttie sale of war bunds J
and certificates, mentioned in a recent 'cable message, was opened in Britain on !October 2. Tho new issue of bonds is a'combination of what have previously been ;two distinct forms of Government borrow- jing, because it comprises the same sort of Ishort-term securities, hitherto called E.\- jchequer Bonds, in respect of the new rive- {year 5 per cent, national war bonds at ipar, repayable on October 1, 1922, nt 102, iand, in addition, provides for continuous jsajo till further notice three sorts of Ilonger-dated securities in the seven-year5 per cent, bonds at par, repayable at 103,the ten-year 5 per cent, bonds at par,repayable at 105, and the ten-year 4 percent, "income-tax compounded" bonds at'par, repayable at par. The terms are con- 'trived to stiraidato the inflow of mqre 'money to the Exchequer by way of "con-tinuous borrowing " until an appropriate 'time shall arrive later for tho launching Iof another long-dated loan. They all yield 1a better return to the investor than was jobtainable on the last Exchequer bonds, iA campaign for large and continued sub- Iscriptious to the war bonds is being con- jducted by the National War Savings !Committee, similar to that which had !such successful results last January and !February. Bonds for £5 are being sold !through the post offices, and those for ilarger amount issued by the banks, while, Ithe war savings certificates provide forcontributions by the "smallest investors."During the first 11 days of the campaignbonds representing £37,991,050 were sub-scribed.

During the hearing of a case at thePolice Court yesterday, in which threeseafaring men were charged with usingthreatening behaviour in Customs Street.Mr. F. V. Frazer, S.M., strongly com-mented on the conduct of some hotellicensees in supplying men with too muchliquor. He said cases were repeatedlycoming before the Court, in which drunkenmen were charged with threatening be-haviour. Apparently, the men were sup-plied with liquor when in a semi-intoxi-ca&ed condition, and immediately theycot, outside of a hotel became embroiledin some disturbance. The position wasintolerable, and could not be allowed togo on. He knew it was a very difficultmatter to sheet home to licensees chargesof permitting drunkenness, but somethingshould be done. In the case under noticethe men had only just left a hotel. Hewas not making any direct accusation, buthe had often thought that the corner ofCustoms Street and Queen Street was adisgrace to the city. Licensees shouldtake warning, as such cases as tho onereferred to would be a matter for the:on>ideration of Licensing Committees.
The procedure that should be adoptedby reservists drawn in the ballot who,having a doubt as to their medical fitness,are desirous of submitting themselves forreexamination, was indicated at yester-day's sitting of tho First Auckland Mili-tary Service Board. In the course of theday three applications for further medicalexamination were made, the reservists ineach instance producing written testimonyfrom private practitioners to the effectthat they were suffering from long-stand-ing complaint*. Major J. L. Conlanstated that this class of application wasincreasing, and it was one with which theboard, with the great mass of work in'rout of it, should not be troubled. Reser-fists who required a second medicallamination because they considered thatJiey should not have been passed fit. athe first, should anoly to the' group office
>r Divisional Headquarters. Then, if they.vere refused, they could apply to theMilitary Service Board. The trouble insome cases was that reservists did notplace their medical history before theexamining doctors, who would not reject
, the testimony of any reputable doctor.It is rather early to make any forecast
I of the probable touring traffic of the com--1 in? holiday season, hut the number ofj inquiries at the Auckland office of the| Tourist Department as to the possible trips; shows little variation as compared with: last year. In view of the withdrawing byi the Railway Department of the usual noli-j day fares and special excursion trains, itj is quite expected that the indulgence ofj the public in long tours will be restricted,ias compared with other years. The book-i iutr for holiday purposes at resorts handyi to Auckland is considerably brisker thanI is usual at this stage of the season—j probably as a result of the reduced facili-j ties for long-distance journeys.

WEST COAST MURDER.
CHARGE AGAINST EGGERS.
SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE.
CONVERSATION IN PRISON. .
COMMITTED FOR TRIAL.
[BT TF.T.&.RAFII.PRESS ASSOCIATION.]GREYMOUTH. Monday.
The hearing cf the murder charge againstWilliam Frederick Engers was concludedto-day, the accused being committed fortrial. '
Detective Abbot said that the accusedasked in open Court at Christchurch for auinterview with Mrs. McMahon beforebeing brought to the West Coast. Thomagistrate said there was no reason forobjection, and stated that the police couldarrange the interview. This took place,Chief-Detective Mcllveney and the witnessbeing present. Mrs. McMahon was'warned by the chief-detective that itwould be better for her not to discuss thecase with the accused, as whatever bosaid would be taken down as evidence. 'The accused was similarly warned. Mr?, iMcMahon, in speaking to the accused,said :
" Did you shoot the. boy?" The jaccused replied; "I can't say. There'ssomeone else there.'' Mrs. McMahonsaid : "Can't you clear yourself''" Theaccused answered : "No ! It's no use. Ihaven't a ghost of a. chance. They've gotenough evidence to hang me six timesover." Mrs. McMahon said : "Don't talkabout hanging to me. Why did you bringthat bag to our room?" The accused re-1plied : "I do not know. I made two mis- 1takes." He went on to ask her to promise Ito fill in a form that he was going to write ;and send her by post. He asked her several jtimes to comply with the request thatsvould be contained in the letter. Mrs.MeMahon again said, Why did youbring the money to the room?" He said :"Look at the position I am placed in.I can do nothing. I'm watched." Thenaddressing the detectives present the ac-:used said: "You can take it from mo:hat she did not know the money was inthat bag," following this up with. " Shedid not know I was on the Coast."McMahon said, "Yes ! I did not knowyou were on the Coast till 'l got a post-■ard. I thought you were down South."ITiat was practically the whole of the in-erview.
Evidence of a Barmaid.Elizabeth McMahon, barmaid at the
Empire Hotel, Christchurch, was thencalled. She said she did not reside orsleep on the premises, but had a roomat 226, Gloucester Street. She hadbeen in the South Island for four years.She had known the accused for about thesame period. She first met him in Christ-:hurch. She had been a barmaid at theCriterion Hotel, Greymouth, for about?ight or ten months, leaving about Febru-iry last. The accused was twice on theWest Coast during the time she was em-ployed at the Criterion, staying aboutthree weeks on the first visit and aboutSve weeks on the second occasion. Shenext met him in Christchurch at Eastertime.
Mr. Hannan, Crown Prosecutor : Dur-ing the time that you and he were inChristchurch you lived as man and wife?
Accused : I object to the question, butif the witness lies to answer the ques-tion she may.
The magistrate asked Mr. Hannan if hewished to press the question. He did notknow that the woman could object. Hedid not consider the question material.Counsel decided not to press the ques-tion, saying he would obtain the informa-
tion from another witness. He put thequestion in view of the witness havingused the words "coming home."Witness: I always call Christchurch
"home." !Mr. Hannan : And you occupied the
same room in 286, Gloucester Street?Witness: I decline to answer that.The Magistrate: You must answer that '
question.Finding the Money.
Witness said that the accused, about aweek previous to October 23, had occupiedthe same room with her in Gloucester jStreet. When he left on October 23, hehad said he was going down south, Geral- !dine way. Witness next saw him inChristchurch on Tuesday, November 13,at the Empire Hotel, at about 7 p.m.,after the arrival of the Arthur's Passtram. Between October 23 and Novem-ber 13, she received a telegram sent fromSpringfield by the accused, also a lettercard either on the Tuesday or the Wednes-day before the accused arrived. She hadnot kept the telegram or card, as thevwere of no importance. She had askedhim why he came from the Coast insteadof from Geraldine, the letter card indicat-ing the former locality. When leaving onOctober 23, the accused took a suit caseand a small brief bag (produced). Lateron she had a visit from detectives at thehotel, and afterwards went to the lodg-ings occupied by the accused and herselfin Gloucester Street. Witness opened allthe boxes in the room for the detectiveswith a key handed to her bv DetectiveAbbot, and received a great shock whenshe saw two bags of monev similar to thoseproduced. She did not notice anything else.On the following Monday night she sawthe accused. The detectives told her shemust not go near him or touch him, andmust not ask questions that could be usedas evidence against the accused. Two de-tectives and a policeman were present atthe interview, and were close enough tohear all that was said. She asked himwhy he had that monev in his possessionand why he did not tell her he had it.She did not remember what else was said,as she was upset. She asked him to tellher the truth about it, and where he gotthe money. All she remembered was thathe said he could not tell her. She askedhim how he came to be mixed up in theRunanga murder, and if he did it. Theaccused, she thought, replied, but shedid not remember the exact words.
"I Made Two Great Mistakes."She asked him if there was any-
one else in it, and asked him totell her the truth about it, andwhy he brought the money whereshe was, and said nothing about it. Theaccused said he was not the only one,and "I made two great mistakes." The'accused asked her why she had not done.something for him. She asked why behad put her in such a position. He saidit had nothing to do with her, and thatshe knew nothing about it; also that shedid nut oven know he had been to theCoast. I lie accused said lie would writeout a statement and leave it. fur her,telling her what he wanted her to do.
Lucy Thompson, boardinghouse-keeper,Christchurch, stated that the accused tooka room at her house on several occasions, jA woman named McMahon. who said she. 'was the accused's wife, stayed with him.1lie accused cam e there first on the night''I September 10, and remained one week.On the. last occasion he returned on aSaturday. Re said he had cm., a longway in a motor, which had struck a jo-km aimakarii i, and that, the <» cupantswere nearly drowned. The accused hadthe knee of his trousers torn, arid hisclothes were hung out to drv. She didnot notice what luggage accused had. Onthe following Wednesday morning the a< --used went to tin- wash house with abundle ~f mal| pieces of brown and v]]itppaper, which he burned. As tar a.- wit.lies-, knew the a.-cu.-ed was travelling forAntnony Horden's, Sydnev.William .]. Kellar." hoi'eikreper }fok -tika. stated that the accused arrived ■„,his bote at 9.45 a.m. on November 12and "coked a room.

murder with four or five other persons.He informed witnesii that he was leavingfor Otira next morning.
William H. Teasdale, gunsmith, Christ-church, said he had examined the .32calibre Colt automatic pistol, which hada magazine holding eight shots. If therevolver had been used it had been care-fully cleaned. It was impossible to saythat it had been used. There were sixgrooves in the barrel. Witness took awax impression of the interior.
Accused examined the impression care-fully.
Bullets With Same Grooves.
Witness, continuing, said he had ex-amined the cartridge. Some were madeby the R.A. Company, and other* wereby Peters. The cartridges were loadedwith fully-metalled patched bullets. Hehad tired* the revolver the previous day,and two of the shells were produced.The indention on cap varied a little, andthe grooves showed very distinctly, andwore quite the same as those on the waximpression. The bullets weighed exactly74 grains each, and witness had alsoexamined two metal patched bullets (pro-duced), and they exactly correspondedwith the ones witness fired. The bulletswere not the same class, as they hadmetalling round them, and the otherswere quite plain. Both bullets weighed74 grain?. The grooves on thebullets corresponded exactly withgrooves on the wax impression., Wit-ness examined the four shells, which wereof two different brands. The shells, hesaid were similar to the ones he had fired.Witness also examined the plain metalpatched bullet taken from Mr. Hail'sbody, and it bore the. same grooves as thewax impression, arid weighed 74 grains.The empty cartridge shell (produced) wit-ness examined, and found it a 32 auto-matic W.R.A. Company cartridge, fittingthe automatic pistol (produced). Thepistol was loaded with Peters and W.R.A.Co. cartridges, which contain full metalpatched _ bullets. The automatic pistolthrew the shell out, the average throw-out being about 10ft or lift. The soundbullet that was found in the car mighthave been stopped by a coat anddropped in the car, but witnesscould not, express an opinion on \why it did not go through the car. Wit-ness found a weak cartridge when he wasexamining the ammunition, and thereforeits velocity would be poor. Witness exam- |ined Mr. Hall's revolver. Four cartridges !had been discharged, and one live one wasstill in the chamber. The calibre was 38.It_ would he quite impossible to fire the|W.R.A. one •or the Peters cartridgefrom that revolver, as it was not an auto-matic, and did not discharge the shells,which had to be removed by hand.
Accused: Of the four empty cases dis-charged by the witness two were Peters'sand two were W. R. A. Co. Did theindentation vary on the four rounds?
Witness : Yes ; they varied.Accused: Did they vary right through-
out?Witness: Yes; right throughout on
both types of ammunition.Counsel to Defend Accused.
The Crown Prosecutor stated that thatwas all the evidence. He stated that hehad heard that day from the medicalsuperintendent at the Grey River Hos-pital that there was a possi-bility of Mr. Hall being able togive evidence at the end of the week.The magistrate said he had read Mr.Hall's depositions, and did not think therewas any necessity for again remandingthe accused.
The accused, who intimated he hadnothing to say, was then committed fortrial.
The Crown Prosecutor asked where thetrial would take place. The Christ-churchsittings took place in February, and theGreymouth sittings a month later.
Accused: If there is no objection fromthe Crown, I, myself, would prefer Christ-church.
The Magistrate: My own view is that itshould be held in Christchurch in Febru-ary. Addressing the accused, His Wor-ship said :
" Now is your time to make anapplication for counsel to defend you.
Accused : Will application have to bemade immediately?
The Magistrate: I am prepared tomakea straight-out recommendation regardingthe application. He asked the CrownProsecutor to assist in seeing that theprisoner was defended.
The Crown Prosecutor : Any applicationmade from Your Worship will not beopposed by the Crown.
Inspector Cruickshank: It is the wish.of the police that the prisoner should pro-ceed to Christchurch as soon as possible.
The Court then rose.
THE FRUIT INDUSTRY.
EXPORT TRADE RESTRICTED.
DEVELOPING LOCAL MARKETS.[Br TELEGRAPH.—OWN' CORRESPONDENT.]
CHRISTCHURCH.Monday.Prevented by -war conditions from sup-plying the oversea markets, the New-Zealand Fruitgrowers' Federation intendsthis season to make a strong effort todevelop the home market, and for thatpurpose has voted a sum of £1000 foradvertising purposes. This informationwas given to a meeting of the CanterburyFruitgrowers' Association by Mr. J.Longton, the chairman.
He stated that the failure to reach theoversea markets last year and the yearbefore had not been very noticeable,wing to the light crops, but this yearthe fruit yield was extremely heavy inNew Zealand generally, whilst the Canter-bury crop was above the average. Thefederation, therefore, had decided, owingto there being no outside outlet, to bringthe New Zealand grower and consumerinto closer touch. Of the £1000 voted forthe advertising campaign, £500 would bespent in Wellington, where the demandwas heaviest, and where little fruit wasgrown. Of the balance £250 would bespent in Auckland, £100 each in Canter-bury and Otago, and £50 in Hawke'sBav.
The idea, be said, was to fix a standardup to which the crops would be graded.Anyone who could pack up to the standardfixed by the Department of Agriculture forexport would have his name placed in theapproved list p lblished in the newspapers.If growers could not pack up to thatstandard their names would not be placedon the approved list.

LEAVE FROM CAMP.TRAINING DISORGANISED; 1;
DEFINITE POLICY FIXED.[BY telegraph.]
WELLINGTON. Monday.The Minister for Defence issues the fol-lowing announcement: -
The withdrawal of men from the Ex.peditionary Force camps has assumed suchdimensions as to prejudicially affect thetraining of the men and the efficiency arid,despatch of reinforcement drafts. Thistrouble is accentuated by the fact thatthe great majority of applications is fromsoldiers whose training is almost com-pleted and who are upon the eve ofembarkation. It cannot be too clear]? .
understood and emphasised that once aman has entered into camp, his course oftraining should not be disturbed at anytime unless for the most crave and urgentreasons. His training is undertaken inthe shortest possible time and is basedupon a definite syllabus, the omission ofany part of which renders the individualand, consequently, his company, less effi-cient than they might have been. Itfollows, therefore, that training shouldnot be interfered with at any stage.Every reservist called up for service has
| the right of appeal for exemption on anyof the grounds laid down in the Military
| Service Act. His necessities should bethoroughly investigated by the MilitaryService Board before he goes into camp,and not left for consideration after he hascommenced his training.
This question of leave from ramps hasbeen recently under consideration, and ithas been decided that applications bysoldiers for leave up to 14 days will bedealt with by the crimp commandants incamp, and that applications for leave forover 14 days will be referred by. the campauthorities to the Third Wellington Mili-tary Service Board for decision. Manycases have arisen where men, or theirwives, have applied for leave on accountof approaching confinements. A recentconference of chairmen of militaryservice boards has cafnrmed thefollowing as the principle on whichthey will act if such cases arebrought before them : If the confinementis due while the soldier is undergoing train-ing he may be granted 14 days' leave withpay. If it is due within two months ofthe date of departure of his reinforcementhe will 'be detained in the Dominion untilafter the event, and may be granted 14days' leave with pay for it. As thesecases will be treated on this definite prin-ciple, it is considered unnecessary to referapplications of this kind to the MilitaryService Board. The camp commandantswill deal with these cases, and will act inconformity with this principle, upon themedical evidence, which must be submittedin support of each case.
Applications are of the following cate-gories :—(a) Applications from the manhimself in camp. This application mastbe made only on thj form provided incamp, and must be transmitted throughthe camp authorities to the Military Ser-vice Board. The board will not considerany application through any other channelwhatever. No application from a soldie?in the thirty-third reinforcements will bereceived after December 10.
(b) Applications from the employer.Only the public interest can justify therelease of a soldier from camp at therequest of an employer, whether farmer,manufacturer, or otherwise. Recent eventshave shown unmistakably that the greatmajority of applications "
are by or onbehalf of men engaged in the agriculturaland pastoral industries. It can be takenlor granted that the necessity for leavecan be foreseen, and that there can be nohardship, therefore, in insisting thatapplications must be made two clearmonths before the soldier's training endsIt is proposed to publish from time totime the last day on which applicationswill be received in respect of soldiers ma particular reinforcement. An exceptsis being made in respect of the thirty-thaireinforcements. Applications for soldienin this draft will not be considered i!received later than December 10 It isanticipated that at any time before thesailing of a draft urgent cases mav ariseby reason of sudden emergency, such as-death, serious illness, or some other causewhich could not have been foreseen. Theseemergency applications will be received at'any tune, and, if urgency is established,will be considered.

ACTIONS NEAR CAMBRAIGERMANS STILL ATTACKING
BRITISH ABANDON MASNIERES

SKIRMISH ON ITALIAN COAST»™ "
- mi
The Germans continue to multiply attacks against theBritish salient near Cambrai. After repulsing nine assaultsagainst the sharp angle at Masnieres, four miles south ofCambrai, the British withdrew from the village. They havemaintained the remainder of their front against repeatedenemy attempts. The sum of the Germans' gains is so small2s hardly to show on the map, while their losses have been veryheavy. The tactical situation is practically unchanged, theBritish maintaining their recent advance up to a depth ofnearly six miles. The attack south of Cambrai, where theGermans made most headway, took the British by surprise.The thinly.held front lines were overwhelmed and the gunnershad barely time to fire a few rounds and were then compelledto abandon the batteries.
Fortified buildings and strong points on the main ridgenorth of Passchendaele, have been captured by the British.
ft is reported that the allies are considering the possibilityof aiding the anti-Bolshevik forces in Russia. Alternativesuggestions are direct action by Japan and the opening up of aroute to Russia from Mesopotamia through Persia. GeneralKaledin commands 100.000 Cossacks, and there are other largeforces in Russia loyal to the allies. Only one-fifth of the armyfavours the armistice.
Fourteen enemy light craft attacked the Italian coast,but were successfully engaged by armoured trains, Italiantorpedo-boats attempted, but failed, to cut off the enemy'sescape. The defence of the Piave River is being made moredifficult by the stream falling very low on account of dryweather. Constant attempts are being made by the enemyto cross.

la.st night from the sharp salient formed by Masnieres, four milessouth of Cambrai, which the enemy is still shelling this morning. Tenhostile attacks on this front during the last 24 hours have been com-pletely repulsed. Fighting occurred in and around Gonnelieu. Webroke up attacks in the neighbourhood of La Vacquerie and Bourlon.Our artillery successfully engaged concentrations of infantry in thevicinity of Moeuvres. Despite clouds of mist on Saturday our aero-planes made several successful reconnaissances over areas near thebattlefront, bombing and firing machine-guns on hostile infantry.
An earlier report states: The enemy yesterday delivered nineseparate attacks in the neighbourhood of Masnieres. We beat off allwith heavy enemy losses. Detachments of German infantry in thelast attack obtained a foothold in the village of Les Rues Vertes,on the south bank of the Canal de l'Escaut, but our counter-attackdrove them out.

A correspondent at headquarters states that the amount of terri-tory the enemy gained by the attack on Friday at a loss of thousandsof men is 30 trifling as scarcely to show on the map. The tacticalsituation is practically unaffected. The British retain their gainsup to a depth of nearly six miles, while the Germans were beatenhack almost everywhere to the point from which they started. It wasa test of the fighting qualities of the armies with the odds probablythree to one in favour of the Germans.
PLAN OF THE GERMAN OFFENSIVE DESCRIBED.

ENEMY SUFFERS SEVERELY UNDER POINT-BLANK FIRE.Australian and X.Z. Cable Association. LONDON, Dec. 2.
Reports furnished to Sir Douglas Haig from various sectors ofthe Cambrai battlefront, with captured orders and objective maps,enable the following account to be given of the battle on Friday onthe new British front. The enemy's intention was to deliver a simul-taneous encircling attack with a large number of divisions, and drivethe British out of the positions gained on Tuesday week. Generalv°» der Marwitz, commanding the 2nd German Army, issued onThursday last the following order: "The English, by throwing intothe fight countless tanks, gained a victory near Cambrai. The inten-tion was to break through, they did not succeed, thanks to thebrilliant resistance of the troops put in the line to check the advance.»V« arp now going to turn their embryonic victory into a defeat byat* encircling counter-attack.'' •
Sir Douglas Haig proceeds: Owing to the magnificent defence andstubborn resistance of our troops the enemy's object was completelydefeated. The enemy advanced in masses from Vendhuille to a pointa mile and a quarter west of Moeuvres, endeavouring to break through»>' weight, of numbers. From MaMiieres northward our positions areintact. Artillery, rifle, and machine-gun fire inflicted very severe losses°n the enemy. Where he temporarily broke through he was caughtby point-blank fire of field artillery and driven back by immediateWinter-attacks. The enemy forced a way into our line on a con-siderable front south of Crevecoeur, south and slightly east of Cambrai,Capturing a number of prisoners and reaching our gun positions inPlaces. Our reserves made a counter-attack and recaptured the greaterPart of the ground, and to-day retook Gonnelieu and St. Quentin Spursouth of the village. We took several hundred prisoners in theseoperations, in addition to many machine-guns, and inflicted heavylosses on the. enemy. In the afternoon repeated attacks were madein the neighbourhood of Masnieres, Marcoing, Fontaine Notre Dame,Bourlon, and Moeuvres, but were completely repulsed.

GUNNERS ABLE TO FIRE ONLY A FEW ROUNDS,'Australian and X.Z. (Received 8.30 p.m.) LONDON, Dt-c. '2.
Describing the fighting round Cambrai, Mr. Philip Gibbs states:The enemy seemed apparently to be concentrating his efforts duringthe past week on the northern side of our salient, but meanwhile hewas secretly concentrating heavy forces on our right flank, intendingto strike through the weakest part of the salient, and hoping to cutoff numbers of British troops. Our forward lines on the right flank-were held thinly, and when this weight of men was flung suddenlyagainst them they were forced to give way, and the enemy brokethrough the lines. The surprise was so great that our men in mostcases were unaware of the break through until they saw the Germansswarming close to them. A gunner told me that when an officershouted, "Stand to the guns," he rushed to the battery and sawa great number of Germans advancing with machine-guns only 300ydsaway. The surprise was stupefying. The guns were laid directlyon to the enemy's ranks, and several rounds fired, tearing great gapsin their lines. Other men filled the gaps. The gunners were almostsurrounded before they abandoned the battery and ran for their lives-The gunners, joining the infantry, were given rifles, and participatedin the counter-attacks, which recaptured Gouzeaucourt, and droveback the enemy.
AMERICANS ENGAGED IN CAMBRAI FIGHTING.
KAILWAYMEN WHO JOINED IN THE ACTION.United Service. (Received 11.25 p.m.) LONDON, Dec. 3.
Americans in some cases fought side by side with the British onthe Cambrai battlefield, using borrowed rifles. Since the commence-ment of Sir Julian Byng'a, thrust Americans had been building andoperating strategic railways close up to the German lines. Theyrelished their baptism of fire. With sleeves rolled up they plungedinto the fighting. A Tennessee man was standing by an engine whenshrapnel began to rain. He had no steel helmet, but he grabbed apetrol tin, and put it over his head. When Prussians came up hehid in a shell hole. The enemy blew up the railway, but left theengine. The Tennesseean stole from shell hole to shell hole till horejoined the British soldiers. Then he secured a rifle and foughtall day. He ended by getting his engine back, and looked as proudas if he had done the whole thing himself. Other Americans hadsimilar experiences.

ENEMY MAKING REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO CROSS.-eater- LONDON, Dec. 2.
A correspondent at Italian headquarters states that the Italiansare now praying for rain. The drought has made the Piave River,very low, greatly assisting the enemy, who is endeavouring to cross bywading, pontoons, rafts, and boats. The Italians destroyed most ofthose who crossed. They generally purposely allow the enemy tocross, and then fire right into the crowded troops.
An Italian communique states: Very intense artillery firing isin progress from the Asiago Plateau to the Lower Piavo. Wo droveback enemy forces attempting to approach Monte Melette, south of theSette Comune. One of our parties reached an enemy position in theMount Portica region, but was unable to hold it, owing to concentratedfire.

TURKS DRIVEN BACK IN DESULTORY FIGHTING.
ACTIONS FOUGHT OVER HISTORIC GROUND.****** LONDON, Dec. 3.
A report JErom British headquarters in Palestine states that therehas been a considerable amount of desultory fighting in various partsof the line, and fortunately tho results have been uniformly to theadvantage of the British. On the left, north-east of Jaffa, the Aus-tralian Light Horse carried out a clever operation, which resultedin the capture of a number of prisoners. Near Birketel Yamous, southof the River Auja, the Turks at dawn yesterday found themselvessurrounded, without the least hope of escape, and last night a further200 were captured. The Imperial Camel Brigade, operating on theright, drove the Turks from their trenches, inflicting many casualtieson the fleeing enemy. Dismounted Yeomanry from Shropshire,Cheshire, and Wales attacked enemy advance posts at Beiturelfoka,on hilly ground six miles west of Bires, and captured 300 prisonerswhile the Scottish drove the enemy from a ridge to the north-westinflicting numerous casualties. These figures bring the total prisonersto practically 11,000, including 470 officers. In the centre, Yeomanry,Notts, and Derby regiments drove back the enemy and capturedprisoners.
The Turks have latterly been making much more liberal use oftheir artillery, which was particularly spiteful at Neby Samwil, a.famous height which has some identity with the '"' Mizpah" of theancient Hebrews, and is crowned with what was once the Crusaders'church, but is now a Moslem sanctuary covering the reputed graveof the Prophet Samuel. Although deeply venerated by all Moslemopinion, the mosque was made a target for Turkish guns, which dam-aged the tower and shrine, but the old walls of the crusaders stillstand a lot of punishment even from modern high explosives. Theenemy also attempted an attack on the British position, which waseasily repulsed by London troops.Australian and X.Z. and Router. (Reed. 11. p. in.' LONDON. Dee. 2.
A later British report states: The Turks attacked at one o'clockyesterday morning in the neighbourhood of Bir-el-Buri. and obtained afoothold on our position. They were ejected at daybreak. Theenemy's losses in recent attacks have been very heavy.

SUGGESTIONS FOR AIDING LOYALISTS IN RUSSIA.
POSSIBILITY OF DIRECT ACTION BY JAPANESE.
ROUTE MIGHT BE OPENED UP THROUGH PERSIA.Australian and N.Z. Cable Association LONDON. Dec. 1.
An article dealing with the Russian position states that after thepublication of the secret treaties in Petrograd the- allies gave up hopethat the Bolsheviks would be. capable, of honest dealing, and aretherefore exploiting the possibilities of getting aid to the Cadets,General Kalcdin, and other loyal forces, mainly grouped in the southand south-west of Russia. Experts suggest a routo through Persia,but the main topic is whether Japan will declare war against theBolsheviks and occupy the Pacific seaboard, although it is recognisedas most unlikely that Japan will send troops to Europe. M. Clemen-ceau is a consistent advocate of this, and is anxious to arrange terms.It is fully agreed that the loyalists in Russia are capable of makinga strong fight. It may be impossible for them to hold a large Austro-German army tied to Russia, but the assistance will be stronger ifallied aid arrives.
It is a mistake to regard Germany as rushing for Russian peace.It is stated that the junkers and militarists fear that thenegotiations will enable Lenin and Trotzky to secure from the frontthe troops necessary for fighting against Kaledin, thus assisting toestablish a revolutionary state which will have a contagious andcertain effect on the German revolutionaries. German militaristsclaim that the evacuation of parts of Russia would not help peace,and would affect the soldiers' morale. Germany should wait somemonths, meantime assisting Russia's more complete collapse byBolshevik methods.
Colonel A'Court Repington, the military correspondent of theLondon Times, suggests the reinforcement and extension of theMesopotamian front northwards.
Other writers favour a Japanese army being sent across Siberia.It is claimed that if encouraged, Kaledin could seize Moscow andre-establish a stable government. The loyal Roumanian armies, ledby Generals Avaresco and Christesco, exceed 300,000. These, withGeneral Tcherbatcheff's force and other Russian units, might be ex-pected to support Kaledin.
STRONG ANTI-BOLSHEVIK FORGES IN SOUTHERN RUSSIA
ONLY ONE-FIFTH OF THE ARMY FAVOURS ARMISTICE.
KALEDIN AT THE HEAD OF 100,000 COSSACKS.Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.
Despatches announce that Russian officials in London are advisedthat General Dukhonin's armies will continue to fight for Russia, andwill not tolerate a separate peace. Anti-Bolshevik elements are work-ing quietly but effectively in South Russia, and are expected toachieve results shortly.
Only one-fifth of the Russian army supports the Bolshevik armis-tice. It is reported that General Raledin surrounded and arrestedmany Bolshevik officers. Kaledin commands 100,000 Cossacks, whilelarge forces of infantry and artillery under M. Rodzianko, the formerPresident of the Duma, are with him.
The Provisional Government organ declares that the Bolshevik-peace negotiations can only lead to a disgraceful separate peaceruinous for Russia. These insane actions, if not firmly resisted by thearmy and people, will reduce Russia to political, and economic slavery,provoke a breach with the Entente, erase Russia's name from the listof great Powers, and leave her to the mercy of the invaders.
SPECULATION AS TO GERMANY'S NEXT MOVE.
USE OF NEW FORCES IF RUSSIA CONCLUDES PEACE.Australian and N.Z. Cable Asfocioiion. new YORK. Dec. 2.
Mr. Cyril Brown, special correspondent of the New York World,in a report written at Stockholm, states that Germany will wage awhirlwind campaign during the winter, hoping to achieve victory onthe western front by the end of spring, or early in the summer, atany cost. Germany will take energetic advantage of the six months'grace before the United States is able to turn the tide of battle, know-ing that the New World is mobilising for battle and not for bluff.The consensus of evidence indicates that the economic pressure inGermany is not unbearable, and that she will be able to survive afourth winter.United Service. LONDON. Dec. '2.
The most reliable experts scout the idea that Hindenburg is plan-ning another early blow for Paris, relying on new troops and an over-whelming number of guns.

pwamp country in the Thames district,and as a result the land had now beenbrought to a state of wonderful pro-ductivity. Last year butter valued at£330,000 was produced by one factory inthe district, and cheese and butter fac-tories were now springing np in alldirections. The speaker referred to thesuccess achieved by Sir Joseph asMinister for Finance in relation to warexpenditure.
Sir Joseph, in reply, referred to thewonderful transition which had takenplace in the industrial life of the Thamesdistrict in recent years. Mining had givenplace to agriculture. Referring to thefinances of the country in relation to agri-culture, he said that if the present pros-pects were borne out, this season wouldprove such a fruitful one that with themoney brought back to the Dominion asthe outcome of the sale of produce enoughwould bo provided to enable the countryto carry on its share of the war for aconsiderable period after July, 1918.

PAEROA-POKENO LINE.
EARLY BUILDING URGED.
QUESTION OF ROUTE.[fit TELEGRAPH.OWN" BEPOETBR.]
THAMES, Monday.Reasons for the early construction of thePokeno-Paeroa section of the East CoastRailway were advanced by a deputationfrom local bodies in Paeroa and vicinitywhich waited upon Sir Joseph Ward.Minister for Finance, while en route tothe Thames to-day. The deputation wasintroduced by Mr. H. Poland., M.P.
Mr. P. Grace, chairman of the Ohino-muri County Council, who led the deputa-tion, said residents looked upon the pro-posed Pokeno-Paeroa Railway as a mostimportant factor in the development ofthe district, and as an essential link inthe Waihi - East (oast Railway, requiringspeedy construction. The line wouldtraverse the very richest part of thecountry.
Mr. D. Donaldson. Mayor of Waihi,said there had been rumours that the linemight be diverted from the routeoriginally agreed upon to Kopu. Hehoped this would not be done, as theroute as at present laid down was thequickest, and certainly the most popular.
Mr. W. J. Towers, Mayor of Paeroa,said residents recognised that the Govern-ment had many difficulties owing to warconditions, but the proposed line wouldopen up a richly productive district.
Other speakers pointed out that if tholine was diverted to Kopu it would benecessary to construct an expensive bridgeto span the Ohiuemuri River, which wasat that place half a mile wide. It wouldalso of necessity have to skirt the sea-coast instead of running through thecentre of the Ilauraki Plains. The'Paeroaroute, on the other hand, would serve amuch larger population.
In reply, the Minister stated so far asthe diverting of the proposed route wasconcerned the Government would certainlvlook at the matter from the stand-point of what was best for the country.He could not see how it was possible toundertake the work of construction beforethe end ot the war. The Government hadt? refuse anything in the nature of a ic-quest for railway extension at the present-juncture. The country was governed bythe financial requirements of the war, andit was because it was not known whatthose requirements would be in the futurethat the Government had to ask thepeople of the country to wait. He couldnot hold out any hopes that the Govern-ment would undertake anything involvingthe expenditure of a large sum in additionto work already in hand. It was theGovernment's expressed intention afterthe war to develop the country bythe construction of railways, roads, andbridges. He would convey the views ofthe deputation to the Minister for PublicWorks. I
When the Minister arrived at Thamesa deputation from Thames Chamber of Com-merce waited upon him to ask for aninvestigation info a proposal to take thenew railway from Pokeno to Kopu. in-stead of to Paeroa. The speakers statedthat the line to Paeroa would have togo over an undrainabie peat bog. whereasa solid track could be constructed without,difficulty to Kopu. The latter route wouldinvolve considerably less expenditure. Thedeputation asked that before any decisionwas arrived at both routes should beexamined by capable engineer?.
Sir Joseph promised to lay the matterbefore the Minister for Railways.
THE FOURTH BRIGADE.
MINISTERIAL CONTRADICTION.[nr tei.e<;baph.—OWN correspondent.]
DUNEDIN. Monday.Revhrri.vc. to a message from Welling-ton to the effect that the Fourth Brigadei* being broken up in order to delay aslong as possible the fending away of mar-ried men with children, the Minister forDefence stated to-day that he had madeno such, statement. "My announcement)with regard to the Fourth Brigade, astelegraphed from Wellington oh Fridayla«t is full and complete." he said."The reason why th» Fourth Brigade isbeing broken up is that we" liavereceived information that it rannow be drawn upon for reinforcement)) forthe New Zealand division. Having been,advised to that effect, it will be drawnupon to supply reinforcements. I amas anxious as anybody to ke<>p marriedmen back, but I would not sacrifice thestrength of the division to do it. nor Iam sure would the married men wish meto do so."
BOTANICAL GARDEN.
j ESTABLISHMENT AT UNIVERSITY.| A srGGESTiON' by Professor Johnson that!I a properly equipped botanical garden bo jj established at the rear of the scien.. )l| building, which is to be taken ever shortly 1j by the Auckland University College Conn- !I cil, was considered by the" council yester- 'j day, Professor Johnson said the absence jJof a systematic botanical garden was a {
■ disadvantage. He explained that all pro- !
I p..r!y equipped botanical schools had their jj own gardens or had access to public!j botanical gardens. At the proper time lie ii hoped to draw attention to the specialI opportunity offered by Auckland parks fur jI Ihe establishment of a systematic, as dis- Ij tinct from the landscape, type of publicj botanical gardens. After the initial ex-pense had been met the garden would payj for the labour expended and be of materialinterest and assistance to students.

EAST COAST PROGRESS.
NECESSITY FOR RAILWAY.
VIGOROUS POLICY URGED.Speaking yesterday in respect to the de-velopment of the Bay of Plenty district,Mr. A. W. Gillies, expert adviser to theNational Efficiency Board, who has justreturned from visiting the various Bay ofPlenty centres in which Trustee Boardshave been set up by tho Efficiency Board,said tho district, as a whole, was being■well developed and bore the appearance ofprosperity. On the journey from Rotoruato Tauranga, through Paengaroa, Mr.Gillies said, he noted a great deal of im-
| provement in the lands round the lake.He was convinced that pumice lands thatcould be ploughed and worked were going
j to produce well, and would bo a great[national asset. A great deal of countrynear Rotorua and, Roto-iti was being ac-quired from the natives, and was beingimproved and brought to the producingstage. The country from Paengaroa to Tanranga showed great signs of progress, andthe Te Puke lands were looking well.As a centre Te Puke had excellent pros-pects, and. if the gold reefs in the vicinityof the township developed as some peopleexpected them to, the mining industrywould give a great impetus to the dis-trict. With the growth of Whakataneduring the last three years. Mr. Gilliessaid, he was very much impressed. Itseemed a pity that the proposed line, ofrailway from Tauranga to Opotiki shouldpass some miles inland from Whakatane,particularly in view of the fact that thonew freezing works at Whakatane must belargely fed from Tauranga and Opotiki.Tho 6potiki district looked extremelywe'll, and had developed wonderfully inspite of its isolation. Railway communi-cation was essential to its proper develop-ment, and when its fine back country wassettled it was bound to become an im-portant centre.
Referring broadly to the Bay of Plentydistrict, Mr. Gillies said only a small per-centage of the lands were producing, butsome idea of the potentialities of the dis-trict could be obtained from the fact thatit was estimated that sufficient fat stockwas now being raised to keep the fine new-freezing works fully employed. The new-works, which undoubtedly would give agreat impetus to settlement, had beenfinancedbv the farmers at a cost of about£120,000.
"
A great deal of discussion hadtaken place in the district as to thechoice of a site for the freezing works.Two outstanding advantages Whakatanepossessed were central position arid amagnificent water supply. On the otherhand Whakatane did not possess a goodharbour, and the Public Works Depart-ment was making very slow progress withthe East Coast railway. Mr. Gillies ex-pressed himself emphatically on the neces-sity of pushing rigorously ahead with theconstruction of the railway. He said thefact that after many years of work therails had only been laid from the Mount,near Tauranga, to Matata, undoubtedlyhad retarded progress and settlement. Headded, "We can only pay for the war byincreased production, and to get greaterproduction we must have railways androads through lands that will become pro-ductive. Money should be spent freely todevelop this great district, or any otherdistrict showing equivalent possibilities ofproduction. Our" war policv in publicworks is wrong. Curtail luxuries bv allmeans, but increase development and" pro-duction by means of railways and roads.A change in administrative policv shouldtake place. The East Coast
"
railwayshould be vigorously prosecuted at highpressure from each section, so that Waihiand Opotiki should be joined up as soonas possible."
Mr. Gillies said he had heard it freelvstated on the East Coast that a section ofthe people there were in agreement withthe Minister that the railway should beopened from Tauranga to Whakatane. andeventually in the distant future to Opo-tiki. but that the connection with Auck-land, through Waihi should not be made,so that the local harbours should be de-veloped. "I trust that it will be re-alised," he said, '"that this is unwise, andthat a through connection from Aucklandto Opotiki should be made as soon aspossible. Later, a connection with Roto-rua, through Paengaroa, should be made. - '
THE UREWERA COUNTRY.
DESIRE FOR SETTLEMENT."I was informed that there was very
. strong feeling on the coast in respect toj the Urewera country," said Mr. A. W.j Giliies. expert adviser to the NationalEfficiency Board, who returned to Auck-land last week from a tour of the Bay ofPlenty district- He added that nobody.wished to do an injustice to the natives,but he was informed that they wished tosell portions of their lands. Looking fromthe valley of the Whakatane, one couldsee thousands of acres of valley and hilllying idle, yet no white roan was allowed
|to acquire a title to any of it. Years agoj an embargo wa* placed by the Govern-
J ment or: 700.000 acres of magnificentI Urewera country, and it had never been! removed. Tiiu« land capable of carrying
■ at leasts 1,000.000 sheep was lying waste.i The Government was supposed to be ac-
j quiring Urewera land for the purpose ofi settlement, but this was a very slow pro-
; cess. M*. Gillies said he was of opinionI that the embargo should at once be re-: moved, and, with the freezing work." ?stab-
i lisned at V.'hakatane. the Urewera nativesi who wished to sell would have no difficulty
j in doing so, and settlement would bej stimulate 1 to the advantage of the wholoDominion.
FARMERS IN LAW COURT
Fcrtheb evidence was heard by Mr. E.C. fatten, S.M.. at the Magistrate'sCourt yesterday, in the case in which C.N. Mardon (Mr. Dickson), farmer, ofAuckland, claimed from C. J. Drake,junior (Mr. Gould), farmer, of Whanga-marino, a sum of £32 10s, for a creamseparator alleged to have been sold to the
j defendant in September, 1914. In thealternative, plaintiff claimed the sum of£25 for the use of the separator. He
j also claimed £14 17s 9d for goods sup-i plied. The defendant declared that the
! separator had been merely borrowed. The: plaintiff was given, permission to introduce
i a new cause of action. He stated that\in 1914. he agreed with the defendant■ for the hire or use of 14 cows. One of
| the condition? was that the plaintiff shouldI receive certain calves born while the cows' were in defendant's possession. He had
i not received the calves, and he. thereforeI claimed £42. The hearing will be con-I tinued on Thursdav.I -

AEROPLANE FIGHTING.
AUCKLAND AIRMAN'S FEAT.
FOURTEEN MACHINES DOWNED.The following is extracted from a letter :written by Captain Give F. Golleti, ofthe Royal Flying Corps, to bis mother,who resides at Epsom:—'l am back in
England and in hospital, having been .slightly wounded. I shall lose the littlefinger of my left hand, as it is shatteredto pieces, but after all it is nothing tocomplain about, for it could hardly heloss. 1 was fairly successful during thislast spell in France, and managed to shootdown 14 German aeroplanes; this numberwas actually confirmed by independentwitnesses, and I fancy I have a few morebesides. Iu mv last fight I shot downtwo double-sealer aeroplanes,one after theother, then attacked and drove down oneof their fast fighting scouts. Ibo lattermachine tried to land, but turned upsideclown and I dived on it and shot it. intoflames before the pilot coiud get out. 1used all my ammunition doing this, how-ever, and was attacked by three more oftheir scouts. Being a long way back overHerman territory, and only about 30ftfrom the ground,' I had to run the gauntletthrough tneir machine-gun fire from theground, and with the three machines fly-ing about me, peppering for all they wereworth. I dodged about so much thatthey could not keep their sights on me,and* after an exciting five minutes. I gothack without hurt, except the wound inmy left hand. T never flew above 50ftall the way back, and though my enginewas hit, my machine still managed to do125 miles an hour, so you can imagine 1
liad little time to worry about my hand.I suppose Claude told you I recently gotthe Military Cross for another affair. 1
I have not been before the King yet toreceive it officially, but had the noticeof its award from the commander-in-chiefin France. I have been leading patrols inFrance, as our machines now operate information, and do what is termed offen-sive patrols. ' In my case I had half adozen of our latest and best fighting
i scouts, al! single seaters and very fast.We used to go right over the enemycountry and fight pitched battles in theair with their fighting scouts, so it got
! quite exciting at times. The leader alwaysI has a hot time in these shows, as he hasto attack, and is backed up by the othermachines in his formation. I had aI splendid crowd of fellows with me, they
I used to stick like glue, and really it isvery hard to keep together when fighting."Our casualties were fairly heavy, but
I we had a good reputation, and alwaysI came out top dog."

HOTELS AND LICENSES.
[BT TELECRATH. —OWX COERESPOVDECT.]HAMILTON. Monday.
The Waikato Licencing Committee metto-day. Mr. McVeagh, who appeared onbehalf of Mr. McCarthy. licensee of thePirongia Hotel, said Ins client had beenconvicted on two charges of selling liqnor ,'
illegally, "and was leaving the hotel. He \
asked that he be given time to dispose ofhis stock-in-trade, and ihe owner giventime to uud a suitable man. The chairmansaid that if the licensee was convictedagain the license would be endorsed. Thecommittee could hardly do anything untilthe June meeting. The owners would haveto' take- the risk.
In regard to the Alpha Hotel, Kihikibk.Mr. McVeagh said th" charges in thepolice report against Mr. O'Brien, thelicensee, were open to criticism. A chars;*of breaches of the Act broke down on theevidence for the prosecution. It was im-proper to bring it up aga;::. There wasa. further statement in the report that thelicensee had supplied natives with liquor.The best proof against this was in thareport itself. A native .•■■ratable had goneinto the hotel and or.de ivoured to getliquor without success. It was furtherstated that the licensee conducted the hotelbadly. There was a'.sn reference tobreaches of the War Regulations Act, butthe charges had been dismissed. The finalcharge was that the licensee was addictedto drink, but this was denied. Senior-Sergeant Cassells stated C:at in Augustlie saw the license*, who wgs sufferingfrom the effects of drink. He kut r therewas a lot of drinkin • a.. ■.:.: the nativesand he had sent a native constable to thohotel to ask for a bottle of whisky. Hethought O'Brien knew the native con-stable. The chairman said there was noactual evidence that the licensee w »5
openly and repeatedly drunk, or that thehotel was conducted improperly. He sug-gested, however, that the owners, Messrs.Hancock and Company, should inquire intothe conduct of the hotel.
The following transfers were granted:—Star. Hotel. Kihikihi, Daniel Holland toCharles Gray: National Hotel, Cambridge,David Shostrum to James Maecuish.
In connection with the CommercialHotel, Te Rata, it was reported that thework required was being carried out-Licenses were granted for a publican* Vbooth at the Waipa race meeting.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
"A DAUGHTER OF THE GODS."The fantastic picture-play, " A Daughterof the Gods," will be shown for the lasttime at His Majesty's Theatre to-night.There will be no matinee. For sceniceffect, and as an example of the producer'sart. this play is unequalled. In fact, tosuch an extent is the desire for effectdeveloped that the story becomes asecondary consideration. The central figurepf the- piece is the famous Australianswimmer. Miss Annette Kellermann.Apart from her fine exhibition of swim-ming and fancy diving, Miss Kellermannappears to considerable advantage as a.dancer and a horsewoman. One of themost original effects is that depictinggnomeland, situated at the foot of animmense waterfall, and peopled by arace of tiny men with beards trailing onthe ground. In an instant, however,these dwarfs are changed into men ofvalour, who assist Anitia in sacking theMoorish city. Children will be admittedat half-price to all paits. of the theatre to-night.
INTOLERANCE."For the return season of D. W. Griffith's
spectacle. '"intolerance." a new copy ofthe film will be screened, as '"Intolerance''has been shown for the past six monthsin New Zealand " Intolerance" will re-open in His Majesty's Theatre to-morrowevening under the .1. 0. Williamson,Ltd., management. A leading daily wroteas follows :- ■'" Described as ' A Sun Playof the Ages.' this latest woik of D. W.Griffith makes history. Before it allother film productions fade into insignifi-cance. Nothing that lias gone before cancompare, with tiio impresxiveness of tinswork. Tim story of 'Intolerance.' is a.good deal like an Oriental rue. There arefour separate themes, and woven in frag-mentary episodes in brilliant and sombrecolours without any regular sequences,often seeming disjointed, but in the endblending in ;i marvellously impressivewhole. It deals with the fruits of intoler-ance to-day. in medieval France, at thetime, of Christ, and in ancient Babylon.Tt is impt ssi'i]e to adequately describe thispicture. One is overcome with a sense ofthe bigness of it. The magnitude of theproducer's work is overwhelming." "In-tolerance " will be shown here for sixrights, while only one matinee will hogiven. o n Saturday next, at two o'clock.The matinee is half-price for children.
OPERA HOUSE.Musical revue, which for some months
prior to last week had been the chief formof amusement provided for patrons of theOpera House, was revived last night, whenMr. Les Bates's Follies of Pleasure pre-sented "'The Matinee Girl." A musicalcomedy plot provided ample opportunityfor the, members of the combination todisplay their versatility, and the cast ofcharacters was exceptionally harmy. Theproceedings were not particularly riotous,but the situations were broadly humorous,and were, happily pointed by smart dia-logue, while the choruses and dances wereexceptionally attractive. Miss MadgeMoore, as the matinee girl, played thepart gracefully and with the necessaryamount of abandon. Miss LaJie. Brookemade an excellent Mrs. Sweeney, whileMr. Les Wharton as Mike Sweenev. a gayold sport, infused a degree of" robusthumour into the character which appealedstrongly to the. large audience. Mr. ConMureni was encored repeatedly for somehighly-attractive specialties, and filled thecharacter of Clarence, the giddy youngsport, and pal of Sweeney, to perfectionMr. Arthur Elliott as C'arrols, the butlerand Mr. Les Bates as the deaf Mr. Pest,
! were also distinct successes in their respec-i five parts. The final dance and chorus bythe entire company was a fitting conclusionto a most attractive revue. Owing to thenon-arrival of their properties, Miss MaudCourtney and "Mr. C," who were billeda., entertainers with novel ideas andMerton and Rydon, comedians from theLondon halls, were compelled to defertheir first appearances in Auckland untilto-night. The second part of the pro-gramme included songs by Miss Lilianree ce>, a special turn by' Miss DulcieIMilner and Mr. George Storey, and itemsby Mr. John Larkin, the jolly negrocomedian. Mr. Malcolm McEacKern, thetalented Australian basso-profundo. hadto respond to persistent encores, his ren-dering of "My Old Shako" and "TheFloral Song being particularly good. Inthe concluding turn the Kranks, a ladyand gentleman, trick cyclists, performeda number of clever tricks on a bicvelewhile a very small girl added charm to* theturn by her singing and a clever perfor-mance on a miniature bicvele.

"."Rhoda BrxioDwortTH.THK RELIGIOUS OBJECTORS.
Sir,—A very Boicmn reaponsibility hasbeen laid upon us by an urgent appealfrom the " freedom League," oil benaifui " religious objectors," who have been" deported." It appears from a Jetter tohand from the president that several men,•who had refused ail military service forloii.-cieJltioiis reasons, have "been placedupon a transport, forced into khaki, andare beir£ conveyed right to tbo war zone,entirely, against their will. The. men re-luce to light, because they profess to befoli.ivfrrs of Christ, and the ChristianC lurches are being urged to take up thematter on their behaJt. Now this is avery serious thing, and we must not di.= -miss it by railing these objectors cowardsand hypocrites. Let us give them Britishfairplay of assuming thev aresincere; then we can examine the groundsof their objection. If they are indeedreal believers in Christ, they havo nogiounds. on that score for their attitudeWe hare reason to thank God that, inthese days of heroism, endurance, andV .C. honours, wo liave no cause to beashamed of Christ-. His noble example ofdevotion and self-sacrifice lias inspiredmyriads in the past, and is inspiringmyriads in the present, to fight and sufferand die for Cod and country, for faitharid family. 'Hie early followers ofChrist saw plainly that thev must bewilling "to lay down their lives for thebrethren," if ever occasion required it. .Sothat the refusal of the "religious objec-tor ' t.i take his part in this terrible warof Liberty and Right against Tyranny andWrung is one 0! the most uu-Chrutiauthings he could possibly do.
