THE LONDON "DAILY MAIL."

Sir, —I have read your attack on the "Daily Mail" in The Dominion a few days ago. I consider it most unfair. I have been a daily subscriber to the "Daily Mail" for fifteen years. Apart from the .London "Times," the "Daily Mail" has done more for charitable and national purposes than, any otter half dozen English _ newspapers combined. The "Daily Mail" has continually warned tho British nation during the past six years that Germany was preparing to wago war on England. There are few officers in the British Army or Navy who are not subscribers to the "Daily Mail." It is the most popular and best-informed newspaper in the British Empire. It has an edition published in Paris. Its daily circulation runs into millions. In its columns you regularly get articles by the best-edu-cated authorities, on all subjects. . It may have been a little severe on K., of K. over the neglect to supply tho Army with high-power shells. The "Daily Mail" never fails to put tho interests of the colonies before the nation, while the Press of New Zealand hover fails to attack the "Daily Mail." I can inform you that New Zealand is mourning, tho loss of some of its best sons, who would be alive to-day had the "Daily Mail's" .warning been heeded by the late Radical Government at Homo. What a contrast to the "Daily News" and "Daily Chronicle," two papers that supported the late reduction in the British Army, and that no later than January, 1914, objected to an increase in the Navy demanded by Lord Charles Beresford and the Unionist Party. It seems to me that the New_ Zealand Press look entirely to the Radical Press in the Old Country for the truth regarding matters there, consequently thousands of Home people have to get reliable Home papers sent out to them.—l am, etc., UNION JACK. July 15, 1915. [Tho "Daily Mail" is an enterprising, halfpenny paper which has done useful service in advocating a higher standard of naval and military efficiency; but its past advocacy of these things affords no justification for tho bitter attacks which it has recently been making on Lord Kitchener, which are resented by all classes and all parties in the Mother Country.]
