SIR WILLIAM HALL-JONES.

Sir William HaTl-Jon&s has arrived at Fremantle, and has submitted himself to the interviewer. The whole Empire wiill heavo a sigh of relief when it learns, on the authority of the exHigh Commissioner, that when New Zealand, and Australia and India get to work, and when Britain adopts some system of universal training, the nation will bo invulnerable. llis sojourn in the great metropolis has made Sir William a bit of a philosopher. He tells lis that, in spite of the declarations of the British Liberal Cabinet to the contrary, conipnlsery tiaining in Britain must oome. Wo presume, therefore, that Mr Winston Churchill and his colleagues will now be prepared to alwindon all opposition, and to fall into line with New Zealand and the Commonwealth. But what is Sir Wiliam's opinion of the Timaru breakwater, and His Majesty's Opposition in New Zealand, and Mr G. W. Russell, and things in general ? The interviewer has remained painfully silent on these important matters.
