WINTER AT GALLIPOJ. ; The men who returned by the Willoclira are agreed that the winter will be a hard one at Gallipoli. They say that there is evidently a heavy rainfall and considerable wash-outs, making lovement of heavy guns exceedingly difficult. The low, sturdy scrub also seems to speak of snow in winter time. ''Socks are a good thing." said one man. "I got a pair every fortnight, and was always glad to see them. Besides, 3 lost so many. I lost three kits out there." But he was very dubious aDmtt the delivering of the gifts to men in small parcel and register it. large parcel was not very likely to be delivered outside of Egypt. A nice New Zealand cake would be highly appreciated. But the safest way was to send any gifts to the Padres, it did not matter who. There was only one denomination at the front, the Padre, and he was very good to everybody. The gifts as a rule were most inappropriate during the summer months," said another man. "Cakes are always appreciated, and weekly papers cannot be beaten. As a matter of fact, the men are pretty well looked after in regard to snirts and socks. The 'Sister Susie Knitting Socks' business has been a little bit overdone. But pipes cannot be got for love or money."
