"OUR BOYS' LEAVE."
Sir, —I should like to a-sk the mill* tary. authorities, through the medium o£ your valuable paper, why it is that our boys' leave expires on a Sunday at. midnight. They leave camp on Friday,; and must report themselves on' Sunday; week at midnight. Surely our Defence authorities must know there are notrains running on Sunday (except onthe citv and suburban lines), ana bow can our boys from Taranaki be in camp( on Sunday night, unless they leave :by the mail train on Saturday morning,: and travel to camp the same night, or; otherwise stay in Palmerston North, and walk to Rangiotu on Sunday. If ; / they are entitled to ten clays' leave,wliv not let them leave camp a day); earlier, so that they could report on' Saturday night. If the authorities par-: ticularly wished the boys to. spend Sunday out of camp, to let them leave camp a day later, bad so report on tha Monday night, and not' let the-boys lose Sunday, as they do at present.—l - am,'etc., . FATHER. , ;
