Visitors from North Auckland apeak of the devastation caused by the ferocity of the recent gale which swept the v ortli Island with such terrible results. One gk^il nr naii informed an "Auckland Star" repur-i,*; 'hat the storm was so fierce at Cape Brett —.i.* ihe spray was carried over the tower ol en* T-Sl't-house, which is over 200 feet hign. Stones the size of cricket balls were lifted from the beach a great height. The tram rails near the lighthouse wore twisted like wire. At Peria and Victoria Valley huge pine trees of great girth and' forty years old were torn from their roots along the side of the road and pitched like matches into an ers were the Maoris, whose crops of maize were in most cases levelled to the ground. It is stated by the Auckland "Star" that an Auckland resident received last week an urgent cable message which read:—"Send to Codford Post Office £30. Urgent." This wa9 signed with a name of someone with whom the recipient is entirely unacquainted. Needless to add, the £30 was not forwarded. The applicant must have had a lot of faith 1o pay for a cable and think there were patriotic people in Auckland sufficiently simple to forward £30 to an unknown person. At the same time, there is reason to fear that this may indicate an organised system for robbing relatives of men who have gone to fight for the Empire. One Auckland gentleman some few weeks ago received a cablegram signed by the name of his nephew. He promptly despatched £10, but has since learned that no request for money had been sent by his relative. Other cases are known where money has been sent from Auckland in answer to cables received, and it has since been learned the sums had neither been asked for nor received. In the case of the cable under notice, the request that the reply be sent to Codford Post Office was no doubt designed to give the impression that the applicant is in Codford Hospital. The safest plan would be to send any money to relatives at the front through some official channel. SAFEGUARD YOUR CHILDREN.
