A soldier was being tried for .assaulting a sergeant. "Now." said the prosecuting officer, "tell us at once, without any prevarication, did you or did you not strike the sergeant? The prisoner was thoughtful for a minute, then ho replied. "The answer is in the infirmary." The possible trend of public opinion in Italy is indicated by two letters received recently in Auckland from dilfcrent piyts of Italy. Belli correspondents are in the employ of the Italian Government. One letter concludes with the words. “1 send you my best wishes for a British (Inal victory, for the world's safety, prosperity, and liberty." Hopes for a British success are expressed in the other letter, passages in which leave no doubt as to the feeling of the writer. Those statements are in accord with impressions gained bv Now Zealanders who toured Italy last year.
