[To the Editor.] Sir, —“It is a dirty bird that fouls its own nest.” "When in England I heard nothing hut praise of-the manner in which ‘Our Boys’ had conducted themselves in South Africa. Imperial officers who had been brought in contact with them declared them to he well educated, self-re-liant and self-respecting. When at Cape Town. I was told how others on their return to tho Veldt had painted the town red, but tho New Zealanders by contrast had maintained their gentlemanly demeanour. It remains for one who has adopted their country and who professes a sacred calling to villify ‘Our Boys’ in their own homes and misrepresent them to their friends.—l am, etc., VJliull Ab. Gisborne, April 10, 1908.
