Mr Walter Fuller has just received a letter from Mr Ben J. Fuller, of Sydney, in which the writer describes a recent severe storm and its effects in tint city. He says:—“A deal of damage was the result. White City is an absolute wreck, while the roof of the big Stadium was blown off. A ship foundered just outside the Heads, and two or three cargo boats were blown on to tiie shore. Much devastation was wrought amongst the shop windows in the town. At the National Theatre otir sliding roof was blown entirel-v off, while at the Grand Opera House, where the storm was particularly fierce, two big plate-glass windows were blown in. At the Majestic Theatre, Newtown, two largo iron doors leading to the stage were taken off their hinges and blown on to the stage. The wind got under the roof and blew’ it partially off, and many loosened bricks fell on to tho stage. The clectic wires were blown down, with the result that wo were unable to show there last night. The telephone communications were interrupted and disorganised all round and about Sydney, so you see that with war, strikes and storms, Sydney is having a rough time.” The Defence Minister had the following question put to him in the House of Representatives yesterday by Mr W. H. Field (Otaki):—(1) Whether ho still adheres to his statement that all New Zealand soldiers at the front aro amply supplied with clothing in faco of the many communications from soldiers at the front, verbal and written, to the contrary effect, ana an example of which is as follows being an extract from a letter written from the trenches in Franco by a young Now Zealand soldier to relatives here more than twelve months after he had left New Zealand: “Smart, attractive soldiers who don’t risk their necks are m England by the thousands, such a contrast to poor, ragged me, alternately dodging shells and jabbering peasant French to uninteresting people. My present rig consists of a battered Australian hat, and ragged tunic (the old New Zealand one), ami a pair ot trousers made for a man about 6ft Sin, while a small haversack contains all my belongings easily.” (2) Whether he will sec, as far as he can, that every Now Zealand soldier is supplied with ample clothing for tie winter month*.
