Mr. William Le Qucux, the well-known writer and novelist, writing to the Daily Sketch, says: "It is to be hoped that the authorities will now at last awaken to the fact that Germany possesses some very rapid and secret mode of communication between London and Berlin, a truth which I have several times endeavored to point out. The tragic end of Lord Kitchener once again reiterates the pc-ril. The first news of the disaster was issued by the Press Bureau at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, and instantly the evening papers gave the news to Great Britain.

"Stewart, and from Wanganui!" said the father of the Territorial to his guest. "Why, I remember your father perfectly, though it is many years ago now since we were friends in Wanganui, and I am delighted to meet a son of his." It appears, as Mr. J. R. Stewart explains, that the gentleman in question eame out from England as a young man many years ago, was a resident of Wanganui for some time, and before returning to England to take over some property that had reverted to him, took home with him as his wife a. young lady who was a member of a well-known \Vanganui family.
