Two well-dressed Hindoos, who recently arrived in Auckland- from Fiji, presented themselves at the recruiting station on Tuesday, and offered thenservices in any capacity for the front (reports the Herald), The -volunteers •were well-educated men, and had paid their own fares from Fiji to Auckland. They evinced a keen desire to enlist. At first the applicants were informed' that under the Defence Department's Regulations they could not 'be accepted, but in- view of their enthusiasm and fine physique arrangements were made for their accommodation at Narrow Neck camp. Both applicants, who are brothers, passed the medical test, and will go into training almost at once. ~"*"On one occasion," said Captain Simson, in referring to the voluntary assistance given in the fitting up- of the* Returned Soldiers' Clufo, says the Post, "I had five master plumbers at work, with dirty hands and coats off, because the necessary plumbers were not available, and each of them vied "with the other in trying to get the work oil a proper basis." (Laughter). He also made eulgitic mention of the work done gratis by painters, pupils of the Technical Schooi, the Boy Scouts, and other sympathisers. When the appeal was made to the public genei-ally they never failed him, 'but complied with his requests. Although the club had been established firmly, and was going strong it must have funds, especially to pay salaries. Unless the committee put in good men, and paid tnem properly it could not expect the club to be a success.

'On board the (Main Trunk express from Auckland on Wednesday afternoon were 'four younir aviators: Messrs E. H. Ganland (of Wellington), M. C. M'Gregor '(or Ohaupo), J. M. Warnock (of Nelson), and M. Matthews (of Rangiriri). wiho have jwst passed their flying tests at the Kohimarama iFlying School, Auckland. This morning they visited Sur-geon-General 'Henderson to undergo the very strict medical test prior to leaving for En eland, where they will join the Hoyal Flying Corps, with a. commission each. They wiili undergo a further three months' course of trai.ning in Emrla-jd before going to the front. All four men, says the Post, are of splendid physique, and look as if they would easi'l'v stand up to the rigours of 'Hying in war time. Mr Warnock served on Gallipoli, and was invalided hack to New Zealand. Even then he did not give up hope of active service, 'but has "qualified for his flvi n <y ■cei-tificate. a.nd. has every hope of still further "doing his bit" against the Folokiers amdl Tambes on the Western front.
