OUR BOYS' SPIRIT.
LETTER FROM GENERAL CODLEY Per Press Association.' Wellington, August 10. In a letter to Colonel Campbell, Coast Defence Commander, General Gpdley speaks in the highest temis'of tlie officers and men under him, and especially of the artillery, which, he says. "Has done extraordinarily well." Referring to the spirit of, and tlie life in, the trenches, he says that on going round the trenches he finds that, notwithstanding the heavy casualties and daily toll that shells and snipers take among them, the one cry from all the men is to know when they are going to advance, and their one wish Is to get out and fight the Turk in the open. Mining and counter mining, bombs, periscope rifles, sandbags, barbed wire, and corrugated iron are our weapons of warfare, and we spend most of our.time grovelling in saps or making mines or crawling; and crouching in trenches, trying to avoid the wily sniper.
