Captain Bean, medical officer, who was wounded at the Dardanelles, is a brother of the Coniornnwealth official correspondent. Since the Lusitania there has been a steady increase in the enlistments, Saturday and Sunday". surpassing previous records. Mr H. IJ. Denniston presented the horse Danum to be raffled on behalf of the Belgian Fund: 1 The horse cost the owner 950 guineas. Adelaide, May 19. The Court has ordered the sale of stores aboard the interned German steamer Schargenfels. Melbourne, May 17. Replying to a convicted prisoner's plea to be allowed to- enlist, Judge Eagleton said: The King's uniform ought to stand not only for valor, but honesty, righteousness, and good citizenship. It is a terrible thing to let honest and reputable men who 'have left home to fight for 'their country associate with criminals, and is a gross indignation to those whose valorous deeds have roused a peal of admiration throughout the civilised world.'" Official reports state that the Dardanelles wounded, generally, are doing well. / Mr Pearee (.Minister of Defence), declined to be drawn by a question whether he proposed to intern all the enemy aliens. The military authorities are enforcing much stricter medical examination of the expeditionary recruits than previously.
