BURSARIES FOR SOLDIERS.
THE NUMBER INCREASED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. At a meeting of the National War Funds Council to-day the Minister for Internal Affairs, who presided, said he •felt, justified in asking the council to increase to 100 the number of bursaries immediately available for returned soldiers. The council endorsed the proposal. The officers of the council, with the assistance of Mr. Seymour, general secretary of the New Zealand Returned Soldiers' Association, were directed to make a preliminary examination of 120 applications already received. The chairman said it would be open to any patriotic society either to supplement the bursaries offered through the council or establish bursaries of its own.'
The council discussed the position of the men who had not. returned in time to apply for the bursaries now offered, but who would arrive in Ihe near future. It was resolved that further bursaries should be offered as soon as the financial position of the council was assured.
