A SOLDIER'S COMPLAINT
Sir,—ln your paper to-day appears a letter signed "The Man/' If those revelations be facts-, then the explanation in tho appended note does not, lo my mind and many others,, "explain" the cose at al*. Cur soldiers have had enough to bear, and enough: bitter memories, without the unnecessary pain caused by delayed treatment,' as in your correspondent's case, not to mention tho injustice. And, sir, it is a sad state of affairs if thero were not a bed in the hospital for him. Surely this is an instance for tho attention of the Patriotic Society. The people-of Now Zealand-have given their thousands (and with a right willing heart) towards funds for sick and wounded' soldiers. How better than to spend some of that money in building an addition, to the military ward. I refuse to believe, however, that shelter to provide the necessary treatment would not have been forthcoming if tho authorities had given a, little humane thought to the matter—l am, etc., HUMANITY.
