CONDENSED CORRESPONDENCE.
An Auckland soldier who lias been in training at Trentham and Fea'therston camps, writing to friends in Auckland, very favourably contrasts the condition of things at Trentham with those prevailing at the new camp—more particularly with respect to the service of meals. He declares that at Featherstan the moment the dishes appear there is a regular rush and scramble for them, in which those who come last fare worst. "Scotty" thinks that one drawback to recruiting is the -number of young men from the Home Country who are evading enlistment and taking the billets of New Zealanders who go to the front. . He thinks it is time that measures were adopted to prevent this and other anomalies under the system of voluntary recruiting.
