The Chief Justice in passing sentence on two men at flic Wellington Supreme Court on Saturday, set out a warning to people who are spending instead of saving, and pointed to privations ahead. His Honour said it was very sad to see two such men in the dock, especially at such a time, when the country was in a state ot war. Instead of saving they were spending their money In drink. Working men ought to he saving every penny, instead of which they were drinking and smoking and going to pictures, and so on. “ 1 don’t know what’s coming to this country,” he added. “ I see young men loafing about the streets, thinking of nothing but their own pleasure, going into hotels, In the middle of a great war —the greatest war the world u'as ever seen. The time will coiHC' when we will have to mb dergo very great privations, and you are' making no provision lor them. Even the bees and the wasps make provision for their offspring and you make no provision at all. You working men are no worse than other people.”
