“HUMANITY" OF HUNS. An illustration of the German disregard for the laws of war and humanity can be found in an incident which occurred the other night near Houtholst Forest. The British heard cries of “stretcher bearers!” from No Man’s Land. It naturally was assumed that a wounded man was calling for help, and Red Cross bearers rushed out through the darkness to render assistance. They were shot down by German snipers, who used this rue to entice them into the open. There have been many other cases recently in which snipers have shot down Red Cross workers deliberately, notwithstanding the fact that German Red Cross workers have been permitted to work unmolested.

The recent increase to £lO per ton in freights from England to New Zealand is not likely to be the last during the war period. Owing to the demand for American transport, shipping is going to become scarcer, at any rate for the carriage of ordinary merchandise, and it is expected that the Imperial authorities will further discourage exports from Britain by another rise m charges. The high rate is regarded in some quarters not so much as an indication of real cost of transport, as a gentle hint to overseas communities not to draw too heavily on the manufacturing resources of the Mother Country during this time of stress.

"Pay earnest attention to another’s Words ’ ’ —Marcus Aurelius After once using Baxter’s Lung Preserver people are usually unstinted in their praise. Read what one mother writes: "Our little boy had a dreadful cold. We were up night after night with him. Nothing seemed to relieve the wee chap. Finally we tried Baxter’s Lung Preserver. He got ease from the first few doses and the cold quickly left him. I would not be without Baxter’s again.”
