READY FOR THE GERMANS.
Sir, —I am an Irishman, and of course optimistic, and I' know that we are going to emerge from this lamentable war victorious, sobered, chastened, and forgiving. In the meantime, •as the father of a family, I have made the following provisions for one of those little incidents usually referred to 'as J'the fortune of war," i.e., the possible, if perhaps improbable, attentions of a hostile cruiser. I have procured a. serviceable tent and fly, enough tinned pro-visions-for 14 days, a portable kerosene stove, and four rug straps. With these my three' womenkind can reach, the railway station in 30 minutes, ready to board any train provided by the Government to take them to a concentration camp ground inland, while we sons and fathers stayed in Wellington to do our duty. Should not these simple precautions be imperative on all citizens? — L am, etc., A.H. Wellington, February 4.
