LEGION OF FRONTIERSMEN.
ANNUAL CONFERENCE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Gisborne, Last Night. The seventh annual conference of Legion of Frontiersmen opened to-day, General Sir Andrew Russell presiding. About sixteen delegates were present from all parts of the North Island. In his opening address, General Russell referred to frontiersmen’s work in the war, and the value of preparedness. He paid a tribute to the late Major Twhtleton. Turning to the present world-wide unrest, General Russell said the people had not yet found their feet after the chaos of the Great War, and instead of drawing together there was a splitting up, not only of peoples, hut of nations, while there was a tendency for sectarianism to grow. It was one of the worst elements in society when class set itself against class, but as frontiersmen they believed in patriotism, love of country, the unify of the Empire, and the maintenance of Anglo-Saxon traditions. It was decided that an official Dominion list of the legion be compiled and printed for circulation.
