...■■-. /.■ V ■ (To. the- Editor.) g; r —'Will you allow me a small space in vour paper to. refer to:.the para- . graph i" Saturday's issue about the -uniform, etc., of a discharged soldier. After fighting for his country, on-being discharged he is'handed ah order for 30s. to buy himself a new;, suit of clothes, and must not, except with permission, wear his uniform or. overcoat. Now, is 30s. going to fit a. man out in clothes equal to what most of us had to dispose of when enlisting, and is that man ti so fit himself out _ as he previously was fitted, with tha, chance of. second enlistment, or pos-, sibly, if things t<iok a more senousj turn, being conscripted? Why not mate the sura up to £c anyway, and' then talk of punishing r man, who haa, probably been well punwhed before.re- ; turning, for wearing the khaki.—l am,: eto- ' .
