Then, strange to say. the physique i( the .Maori manhooil was against thorn. Fnulishmen who rememher the Maori Kuuhy team, and who saw the- weight of their park, ran understand h'v ilitli'-ult it would he to put a limit of F- stotn- l's pounds) to the weight of Maori recruits, and the men of the regiment believe that the Priest of their people were ruled out ly such a, regulation.

The men have a passion for drill, and if they sor a movement done once they will imitate it perfectly. .Many of th m have been ed'icat d at one or other of the two .Maori colleges in New Zealand. In musketry the Maori has pka-sed his inMrurtors. Fully ono-thinl of thr battalion are marksmen, and the readiness with which the men who had not handled modern rifles before become , ificient at the butts promises a ell for tlr ir usefulness in the Held. The Maoris draw the same rations as the other colonial troops, and the food is prepared in the same way, hut doubtkss on holidays they will do as they diil in the camp at Auckland cook the rations in "han'i."

pledge. The mobilization of married men comes o. a surprise to thejse who sipned the circulars. ir Charles Wlby expresses the ceneral feelinsr in these words: 'When the circular to householders was issued many heads of families pavo in their names en the assumption that they would be called on only in the last resort .and under circumstances in which no patriotic man could refuse to help. "Married men with larpe families are now beimr called upon apparently without the slightest regard" to their home circumstances. "Is the need for men still so serious and urgent as to Justify this? If it i5, then I for one. who have up to now hoped that the war might be put throuph without compulsion, feel that the time has come to 'fetch the unmarried shirkers' and I believe there is a widespread and growing feeling to that rlTe-ct." It is explained by government ollicials that the signers of the pledge do not have to serve if they absolutely refuse. Lord Newton describes this

new development as "conscription by moral force." WoundVd soldiers at the Towitt Well ar.d Heathcrdene hospitals. Harrogate, which have been established by the Grand Duchess George of Russia, havo decided of their own accord to abstain from all Intoxicating drink until the end of the war. The Grand Duchess informed his majesty of what has heen done, and the king wrote in reply: "Please tell your patients bow gratified I am that they have been able to follow example, I feel they are with me in trying to do all they can to bring this war to a speedy termination. I wish them all a. rapid and complete recovery. (Signed "GEORGE."
