Volunteer Items
« The next capitation parade of the Manchester Rifles will be on the 23rd instant. We are indebted to the Napier N"ews for the information that a writer in the Auckland Scar thinks that the Govern* ment should take into consideration the question of appointing an Imperial Commission of Volunteer officers to report on the best method of placing the force on a better basis, or at least to consult old Volunteer officers, those who have grown grey in the cuuse of volunteering in New Zealand, on the causes which are surely killing the system in the colony, and the most feasible means of rectifying the mis* take aud re-inyigorating the spirit of citizen soldiery. A3 things now stand Tolunteer officers complain, with good cause, that the Government ignore their claims to consultation or consideration in favor of Imperial officers who have neither the knowledge of local Volunteering exigencies nor the de?ire to act in touch with the New Zealand Forces.
