FURTHER COMMENT IS NEEDLESS. CHAMPION NOTICES WITH A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PLEASURE AND DISMAY THAT THE "LAST MAN" CONTROVERSY IS CREATING HUMOUR AND SADNESS. FIS ADMITTED BY SIR JAMES AND SIR THOMAS IN A FRIENDLY SPAR FOR DOMINION SUPREMACY (VIDE NEWSPAPER REPORTS AT FOOT), THAT FURTHER DRAINAGE WILL BE A GREAT STRAIN ON OUR MAWPOWER AND RESOURCES. CHAMPION THINKS HE WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP UP THE SUPPLY OF HIS MUSCLE-RAISER FLOUR AND STANDARD OATMEAL AND I ROLLED OATS WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE -WHEAT CONTROLLER, AND HE HAS REMINDED HIM OF WHAT GENERAL FOCH SAID TO AMERICA, "HURRY, HURRY." Extract from Sir Thomas Mackenzie's 6peeoh at a patriotic rally at the Town Hall, Leeds, I.oth July:— "New Zealand had sent 110,000 soldiers out of a million inhabitants, but he confessed the strain on the man-power and resources of the Dominion was now beginning to tell. New Zealand, however, could' supply a superabundance of foodstuffs and raw .material, while America — thank God for America—had men in plenty, willing to go. It was soun-d policy to accept men from A"merica and foodstuffs from New Zealand." I (PBES3 ASSOCIATION.) WELLINGTON, Monday, 15/7/18. • Reference to the published report of some remarks by the High Commissioner in London to the effect that the Dominion's man-power was diminishing, and hinting at the possibility of the Americana taking the place of the New Zealanders, was made by Sir James Allen to-night. . Tho Dominion, ho said, had ■entered the campaign with the intention of seeing it through, and he believed the people of New Zealand were still determined to do so. He believed tho men at tho front , wished to fight the' matter out and in--1 tended playing their part to the end. There was a great strain upon New Zealand's man-power and resources, but, like j our Allies, we were prepared to meet those strains and to do and give all we could in this fight for freedom. Wo were glad to see the Americans coming in, and we ! hoped they would come in such numbers that victory would be certain. So far as ho was concerned, ho considered himself pledged absolutely to keep the New Zealand Division up to strength as long as ho had man-power to do it. I have again spoken. V. ? Auckland.

BALLOTED MEN ARE ADVISED nrtHAT the LOWEST War Loading on -S- _ ■ life insurance is charged by the National Mniual life . Association, provided" the policy is taken previous to the soldiers entering camp. After entry to camp tho rate is naturally highsr. As NO other mutual office either charger, such low rates or gives such large bonuses as the'"National Mutual," it is in the interests of tho soldier and his ' dependents that he see us before entry ! to camp. If a soldier requires help from the Financial Assistance Board he cannot get it unless h» has at least STARTED his insurance, if only by the payment of one quarterly premium,'which is, at moat ages, .with us well under £2 on a £300 life policy. Further, if any soldier or soldier's wife wishes to provide for a child's future, the "National Mutual" hag a special plan. If the parent paying: for the policy die. NO FURTHER PAYMENT IS REQUIRED, but the polioy remains in full force, for tho full amount, with full bonuses, and is paid at the time originally provided for. Thus, if a parent of 30 wishos to provido for his child's future 20 years henco, each £100, ■ with bonuses in addition, costs only £4 0s 7d per year. If the parent dies, nothing further is required. I unreservedly place my services at the disposal of any soldier or reservist ■ for any information I can supply, or advice I can give. Probably few have in New Zealand had so varied an experience of camp matters in war time. It is getterally said by many that the stand I took in Featherston Camp last August in the interests of my own health almost at once resulted in much gooS for soldiers in camp, by stirring . public spirit to a live interest in the medical conditions of the camps. As "the price of liberty is eternal vigilance." I have watched and intend to watch, all matters affecting the welfare of the soldiers in New Zealand. H. H.
