TRENTHAM CAMP.

Public opinion has been so nmehj aroused that the Government ha.s j been compelled to {rive way in the matter of the Trentham Camp, and, it is now definitely understood that, the camp will be shifted to a new' locality. This is as it should be, and cost what it may, it is imperative that in this serious time of struggle/ for the Umpire's existence, when, every man who can do so is wanted] to defend Ids country, tlr.it no matter] whose feelings are hurt, whose dignity is wounded or what Party is discredited, such a state of affairs as has arisen at Trentham Camp must ho made impossible. The Government has endeavoured to put the best face on the matter, and in this we do ( not blame them, but they have"obvi-| ously been unable to counter all the charges hurled against them. This is not the time, however, to indulge in recrimination: when the war is over the whole facts may be laid bare, nr.d if fault there be. let it lie fully exposed. The country has been deeply aroused and more than a little alarmed over what lias happened, but it, is not going to lose its head or become hysterical. We have our duty to the Empire still looming large before us. There is no time for Party, quarrelling over somebody's mistakes. '
