It has been the custom for some-time past in various parts of the Dominion to belittle the efforts of the Commonwealth (writes the Molcau correspondent of the Taranaki "News"). The turning down of conscription, was, of | course, at the bottom of it. But '' good wine needs no bosh," and tho soldiers | of the island continent are beyond praise. Sergeant George Johnson, in writing to his sister (Mrs Macdonald, of this township), says, in regard to a raid he and his men made 011 a machirte gun section, with the aid of a body of Australian troops: "You will see what "sort of men I had to back me up in a dust-up." After relating the capture of the guns, along with many prisuiers, lie adds: "This will show yo>- what the Australians arc like. They're the finest men in the British Army, and the best, fighters it lias. It's a mighty lucky thing for us that they are not on the side of tho Hun."
