Writing from Tasmania to a relative in Wanganui, a lady forwards the following extract from a letter published in a Tasmanian paper. It is eloquent of the splendid courage and unwavering faith of the women of our Empire: "Aren't we having glorious war news? My four brothers were killed in action at Gallipoli. If only they had lived till now! f don't grudge tliem to our glorious Empire—but two of them had gone through South Africa, and had won distinction —and to think that treacherous Germany lias murdered them! But tlicy, and we, and our great Empire, are in Divine lhands. It is all right." The courage of the British soldier was referred to by the Prime Minister at a gathering at the Auckland Orphans' Club on Saturday evening. "The .British soldier is a valiant and - courageous as any troops In the field," said Mr Massey, "and he has shown no deterioration from the spirit shown by Ms fighting ancestors. While in Britain I heard of an incident not reported in the cabled news. Nine hundred British troops with 70 officers were put in to hold a precarious position for four days, during the retreat in March. They did their work, but only one officer and 70 men came back. That illustrates tibe mettle of the British soldier better than anything I may say" "NAZOL" for Influenza and Catarrh.
