Mr. Ashmead Bartlett, the British! Press war correspondent 'at the Dardanelles, who is at present cii a lecture tour of the southern Dominions, waa the guest of honour at a pleasant gathering of Wellington journalists .at the Hose Tea-rooms yesterday afternoon. Mr. F. J. Earle, president of the Journalists' Institute; was ill the chair. There were about forty present, including ladies, and Mr. Bartlett vastly entertained his hosts with a lively description of his first adventures in search of "copy" immediately after the outbreak of war. Interviewed in Dunedin, the Hon. James Allen, Minister for Defence, said that he had on several occasions received inquiries from wives and parents of invalided soldiers as to the possibility of them going back to the fighting line before; thej- are fit. In order to allay all anxiety in the matter, he has caused investigation-to be made in one specifio case of a man in Egypt Full inquiry' has been i made, the, result of which ■ proves that there was not the. slightest cause for'anxipty on the-part of his wife. General Godley states that the natural anxiety of friends and relatives may be relieved by the assurance that there is not the slightest occasion for uneasi-. ' ness as to men being returned prematurely to the front.' Convalescents, he says, are invariably given the benefit of the doubt, an J if medical officers err at all it is generally on the side of human- %• ' ____________ .

NEW ZEALAND ENGINEERS PEIw VATE OPINION OP THE- STTOE. BAKER. : TJTe Tourist Motor Co., Hastings, knowing that we are closely interested in Studebaker motors, have forwarded to us a copy of a lengthy business letter sent them by Mr. Allah E. M'Lean, the engineer of- their firm, who is at present in Detroit, investigating the claims of th{ i 1916 models of the great American auto. mobile manufacturers. Tho Tourist Mo- , tor Co. have very courteously given ut ■ permission to publish extracts from th«. fetter, and we extract the following paragraph as likely to interest owners and prospective owners of Studebaker cars.— i My honest opinion about the Studebaker ; car is that it is tho best value for money i on the American market, and as far as I bniiSi and workmanship are concerned it is second to none. I consider that we would be-foolish to take up the agency ' for any. higher' priced car that is built i here, because if wo repaint the Stude* I wtkor and equip.it with wire wheels it ; would be equal to the Miuerva in appeari ance and quietness of running. The en. j. gine is the cleanest designed one that I. I havo inspected." It may be explained" ' that; Mr. M'Lean's mission to America was to secure the agency of a high-priced . American- car to take the place of the . firm's Silent Knight Minerva agency. i There is a good market in Hawke's Bay for the very best car obtainable, regard- ' less of price. Mr. M'Lean's honest opin- • ion regarding the Studebaker is that there 3 is no American car on the market better t than the Studebaker at any price. The r hve-soater touring Stmlcbaker (4-cylirider, 3 25 n.p.), with electric self-sorter and eleotrie fights, sells in New Zealand for .£343, 0 the three-seater studebaker, with sama equipment, being priccd at ,£335.
