A PERTINENT CRITICISM.
When Colonel Campbell mentioned the name of Lieut-Col. Sleeman to 'the Defence Expenditure Commission the other day the Chairman (Briga-dier-General Sir Eobert Anderson) asked: "Is that the author of a number of text books which are in universal use?" Colonel Campbell indicated that this was the same officer. "He was at the. Marne?"—"l believe so " " New Zealand is very lucky to have a man like that out here," remarked the chairman. "He is a man who would be invaluable in the camps —we have heard that their need is such a man." When Colonel Campbell explained that Colonel Sleeman's duties at present comprised the training of officers and men of the Territorials and senior cadets, the chairman expressed surprise: "Colonel Sleeman is not only a man of experience but a distinguished officer. You have power to run a railway engine running a sewing machine there."
