BREACHES OF DISCIPLINE
GROSSLY EXAGGERATED. FREJIANTLE, March 19. Archdeacon Samwell, an Anglican chaplain, who went with the second Expeditionary Force to Egypt, has returned. He declares that the reported breaches of discipline are grossly exaggerated. Conditions are greatly improved. The men are now fully aware of the consequences of indiscretions. The whole trouble was due tothe criminal adnlters-* tion of liquor by Egyptian cafe proprietors. Archdeacon Samwell brings a message from the commander of the Australasians (General Bird-wood) stating that he is intensely pleased with the progress and efficiency attained by the Australian and New Zealand troops. The men were eager and willing, and had risen to the occasion. When the archdeacon left the men were simmering with excitement—(a deletion by the censor follows). ONCE OTJT-AIWATS OUT.
