When questioned at Dunedin regarding allegations by the Returned Soldiers’ Association, that unfit men were being prematurely discharged, Sir James Allen said the matter had come under his notice, and he had been assured by the Medical Department that the action of the Board could be fully justified. The action taken was in the interests iof the men themselves, as under the Discharged Soldiers’ Settlement Act, a soldier was precluded from the benefits of the Act until he received his discharge. He was not in a position to go into the matter, as no specific cases had yet been brought under his notice.

The Grey “Argus” says—“ Yesterday was the record day of the season, for whitebait fishermen. With the rise of the tide in the morning splendid shoals of fish came up tue river, the banks of which were lined by between 70 and 100 tvielders of drag nets, and there were very extensive catches. One buyer for the factories laid put £SO in purchasing tins of fish at £1 apiece, running out of cash without being able to cope with the supply. Starting at Is 6d a pint, the retail price soon became Is a pint. The day’s take proved easily oetter than the‘best last year-” At Hokitika there was a good haul made, but the catch though substantial, did not total nearly as large as the catch obtained two weeks ago.

Complaints were made all over Westport on Thursday says the Westport “News” about the Council’c paucity of advertising in connection with the byelection. At one time the Council inserted an advertisement in the evening paper on the night preceding, and in the morning paper op ,he day of the election, and kept the eiecfors ip close touch with what was taking place, bnjt now the policy of the Council seems to be to give as little information as possible about such ejections. “I dug 2() ejectors early in the day who never knew the election was taking place,” remarked one candidate who was very strong in his complaint against the Council. Had it not been for candidates’ addresses in th e press, more than half the electors would not j have known that there was an election.
