Congratulations for New Zealand
News of the naval engagement on Montevideo, in which H.M.S. Achilles played a brave part, stirred New Zealand profoundly and brought messages of congratulation from all parts of the Empire. Among the messages received by the Minister of Defence, the Hon. F. Jones, were congratulations from Lord Bledisloe, a former GovernorGeneral, who referred to the engagement as a "magnificent exploit"; Admiral Drummond, who commanded the Royal New Zealand Nava! Squadron prior to Commodore Horan; Paymaster Commander E. Tottenham, who was stationed iti Wellington before the outbreak of wart; and the President of the New Zealand Navy League, Mr. J, Suthefland Ross. Books for Air Force Books and magazines are wanted for the Royal New Zealand Air Force Training School at Wereroa, whete a library is to-be formed for the men training there. Should this meet the eye of anyone wishing to send reading material, all that is necessary to do is to mark the parcel "Library Service, Wereroa Training School," and hand it in to the nearest library or send it to the country Library Service, Parliament Buildings, Wellington.
