SERGEANT O'LEARY, V.C. “I have seen by to-day’s paper that I have been killed in action. No, I am still in the firing lino, doing my bit for my King and country, i trust God is not going to call on me so soon, until I have done a bit more for ray country. I came out of the last battle with only a few scratches, thank God.” So writes Sergeant O’Leary, \.C., in a letter dated May 29 BOY PIPER’S GALLANTRY. Andrew Wishort, a boy piper of the Ist Battalion Black Watch, was almost riddled with bullets while playing his compnay into action on May 9. He continued to play with one hand after he had been wounded several times. His only regret is that he lost his bagpipes. The King has made inquiries about Wishart, who is stated to be making slow but satisfactory progress towards recovery. GERMAN PROPERTY IN ENGLAND. Speaking at an anti-German meeting on Tower Hill, London, Mr R. H. Glover declared that all the German property in England should be confiscated, because German gold had been poured out by the bucketful in that country for the German Government’s purposes. A few traitorous Englishmen who had been bribed would then have the temptation removed. A placard on the front of the platform road, “Hang all three.” Above were the heads of the Kaiser, Hie Austrian Emperor, and the Sultan. TOO PROUD TO SURRENDER. That som 0 of the enemy, at least, are not enjoying themselves in Flankers ig shown by the following message, which was recently flung into our trenches; “We are too few to attack, too many to retire, and too proud to surrender; but we all want to go home.” And a few days ago a kite made of newspaper was flown over our inns. On it was written: “Please send (1 is back when the wind is favourable. Wouldn’t you like to come over here, as you have no more ships left? Won’t von give up soon? We, too, do not like P, any longer.” Similar overtures have been made at different points of our line.

DESIGNS ON AUSTRALIA A lady resident in Sydney married a few years ago a German in a good position tliere who belonged to the naval reserve of his nation. On the outbreak of war he was ordered to join th e , Gneisenau as an executive officer. On the sinking of H.M.S. Good Hope and Monmouth by the German squadron of which that cruiser formed part, ho wrote to his wife to this effect; “This is th e first of our naval victories, which will continue until the English naval power -is destroyed. Then w e shall take possession of Australia, but befdz’e this occurs you must leave it for Germany, were you will be safe To remain where you are would be terrible, for nothing will be left undone | to bring the Australian people under | 'control and. ensure passive submission jlo German rule.” | I “ LONDOiN RARER SUPPRESSED. The first newspaper in England to j be suppressed during the war is the 'Jewish Times,’ a daily newspaper, which published 11 A, names of streets where Zeppelin dropped bombs during ■ thc irecent raid. The Press Bureau’s -warning was that “no statement whatever must be published dealing with the places in the neighbourhood of Loudon reached by aircraft, or the course proposed to be taken by them, or any statement or diagram which might•-. indicate the ground or route covered by them.” The editor of the "•leu ish Times,” Mr Morris Mayer, : - lares that he and his staff were in ’ignorance of this instruction at the 1 1 iznof publication, because the news' laeenoy upon which they rely for comnmniques from th e Press Bureau failed to supply them with it. VALUE OF HERRING AS FOODTim English Board of Agriculture and Fisheries draws the attention of t lie public t-f the value of the herring is total. On the outbreak of the war there were some 817,000 barrels of pickled herring, the product mainly of '•he Feiti.tiAi fishery, ready for export, pud [hough the English fishery which extends from September to November, •vill he rasi'ricted by the war, the Board is not without hope that consid. >rahio ’ quantities may be landed. As the result of the. closure of the foreign markets the greater part should be wanahle for homo consumption. Expert opinion is that two salt herrings contain as much protein as need enter : mo the daily diet of the average working man, and that they retain their wnon Homeness and nutritive value for ninny months after pickling. As the wholesale- price of a herding is about a half-penny it will be realised that pickled herring provide a very valuable Arm of food at a very low price.

A RHEUMATISM CURE AT LAST. No matter how long you may have suffered from rheumatism, you owe it to yourself to try EHEUMO. It goes to the blood and removes the uric acid —the cause of the disease. The gradual easing of the pain as the excess acid is expelled from your body, the subsidence of inflammation and reduction of the swollng will come as a blessed relief, as it did to those who tried other “ cures” without avail. Read what Air Henry Bristow, of For: Ahuriri writes:— f< l experienced the pains o f Rheumatics or Rheumatic Gout, and for eight or ten weeks had to take to my bed. My sufferings were very severe, so bad in fact that even the closing of a door would make my heart jump. Having heard about EHEUMO I decided to try it. lam very pleased to say that I got relief and was soon able to get about and follow my occupation. If anyone would only take ‘EHEUMO’ as soon as they feel any Rheumatic pains, it would, to my mind, stave off a long illness.” EHEUMO is a proven cure —it brings relief where others fail. 2/G and 4/G a bottle. 107
