Under the pungent heading “ A Rotten Department,” Christchurch' Truth says :—“ Auckland is. just' at present .engaged in . saying insulting things about the Defence Department, and Auckland has good reason to do so. That inept circumstance, which is run by the loud and heavy individual who bellowed warm remarks at the British War Office some two years has been displaying it 3 staggering futility with great prominence. Lately Auckland has taken axe in its hand, and in its vigorous pursuit of the Department, is mentioning with some violence that money due to volunteers remains unpaid for months, that badges earned come to hand usually when the man that earned the badges is an old identity, or dead and buried, that incompetent nocdles' are promoted over the heads of able seniors,, that men are unfortunately reported' upon without opportunity of reply, and that, im short, volunteering in Auckland is wearing a hunted look and.is threatening to become as dead as the dodo. Auckland volunteers are convinced that a Royal Commission is necessary, and that when it gets to work the real rottenness of the Department will be disclosed, and will be so rotten that everyone will rush to the chemists to buy deodorisers. The Royal Commission has got to come, and we predict disclosures that would be hilarious if it were not that they will be so serious. We can only hope that the smell will not reach Europe, or we shall suddenly wake up and find that G ermany has annexed us, and that the rest of the crowd are coming to pick up the scraps.” If you want Bargains In Tray, Cloths, Table Napkins, Table Runners, etc.* don’t miss seeing our window.
