/ SHORTAGE OF TIN. TRADES AFFECTED. Received April 6, 8.50 p.m. London, April 4. Jam, tinned meat, condensed milk, and other industries using tin plates, are seriously threatened owing to the shortage, which is due to the Ministry of Munitions' demands upon the manufacturers for steel and the restrictiOH on the output of tin plates that are required for war purposes, for which facturers must give a certificate. The existing demand largely exceeds the supply, which will be curtailed a further 30 per cent, this month. The quotation is 32s 3d a box as compared with 13s 9d before the war. WOUNDED ANZACS. TO GO TO SOUTH OF FRANCE. London, April 4. The recovery of wounded Australians and New Zealanders has been accelerated by the milder weather and, as the result, the number remaining in hospitals has been greatly reduced recently. There Were 500 at Harefieldj now there are 200. Many who are permanently unfit are returning home. The training depots are filling. When the Anzaes resume fighting possibly drafts of wounded will not be brought to England, but be taken to hospital in the south ef France. It is understood that the British medical authorities favor this course, so as to leave the English hospitals solely at the disposal of the British wounded. Australian and New Zealand Medical officers are inclined to consider the treatment of Anzaes in England during the summer as more beneficial than elsewhere. ■ ' BLOWN UP.

MARRIED MENPROTEiST. London, April 4. Delegates from the Attested Married Men's Union, recently formed, representing 750,000 men, interviewed Lord Derby and represented that the attestation of married men ought to be cancelled in view of the numbers of single men who were not serving. The only remedy was general compulsion. A remarkable disclosure was made that there were 100,000 marriages between the date of the national registration on August 15 and the extended date (November 2), after which newly-married men were regarded as unmarried for grouping purposes. Lord Derby approved of the union's help in tracing unmarried slackers and agreed that compulsion was necessary in the national interests. The union passed a resolution demanding Lord Derby's resignation in the event of the Government failing to legislate. The King gave an audience to Lord Derby THE WOMEN'S WORK, London, April 4.
