THE SOLDIER'S FATE.
Sir, —James Alexander McGregor, full of youthful enthusiasm, fought for the "Hempire" in D Squad, Eighth N.Z. Contingent, and no doubt, as many other deluded youths, thought the Hempire would be grateful to him. But no! Here we have it. He has returned to New Zealand, and wishes to buy an organ and a chair! Oh, my fellow countrymen! He has lost his sight, and the Hempire has lost its sympathy. Some members of the Defence Departmeait are going to do what they can. What is it? The chair and organ will cost £30, and subs, will be acknowledged in the "Post." The Hempire in-the meantime is silent and its interest in the man who fought for it is—that it lets other people pay for the chair and organ. My jingoistic Hecmpire, cannot you provide your hero with something better than a £30 organ, or does fighting for Hempire really mean, this? Will some patriot answer? KOKINO.
