In the course of an address before the Napier Chamber of Commerce on "The Impressions of the Press representatives during their trip to Great Britain and France in time of war," the Hon. W. J. Geddis, M.L.C.. said that the day will come when the people of New Zealand will demand that tho story of Fasschendaele will be thoroughly investigated, if only in justice to those who gave their lives there. It was an adventure in •which they acquitted themselves so well, and might huve succeeded if other things had not 'been wanting. Up to Passchendaele the New Zealand Division was scheduled as the best fighting division in France. They lost that at Passchendaele, and had got back to third position when the delegates left. At Suvla

Bay and Gallipoli the New Zealandei lost 6,500, but at Passchendaele in ha an hour one mornmn; the}- lost 7.5 C men, equal to two brigades. When Mc sines Ridjre was captured at all point where there was an advance trouble occurred in the French Army. That little trouble among the Frenchmen caused delay that lost us the fruits of that advance, and made the German break through later on. scrEßFLrors walk removed INSTANTLY.
