MILITARY PENSIONS.
4 MEDALLISTS ONLY CONSIDERED. An indispensable condition regarding the award of tho New Zealand War medal, the Minister for Defence informed Mr. Glover, M.P., in the Houso of Representatives yesterday, is that the applicant must havo been actually present nnd under fi.ro at a named engagement, and the certificate of his commanding officer to that effect must be endorsed on liis application. To now vary this condition by conferring the pension upon persons who wero engaged in transport and other service, forty-three years after the termination of tho war, is impossible in justice to those who have had to abide by it in the past.
