SAILORS' CHRISTMAS.

(To _(• ''alitor.) sir.- Kindly permit mc to make my ti.-ual appeal on betnUf of visiting seamen who will be in port on Chr_tm.w Day. For thirteen year* the Flying Angel Mission tp Seamen hag provided a Christmas trenl for sailor* and stokers, etc, and last year t-he Masonic Hall. N' >rbhcsote. was packed by men of the Mercantile Ma line. Assistance in the form of si—<—ri-ptioiis and jjrovis.ons, etc, would enable mc to make Decem.lie.r 2S a -hatppy day for r_tny *e_far:ng men in the port of Auckland. A postcard to c/o Diocesan Church Office, Shortland Street, will receive prompt attention.—l am. etc.. ARTHUR P. COW-lE, Missioner to Seamen. PROTECTION OF TENANTS. (To the Editor.)

There will he nothing parochial about it. As the hill is within the One Tree Hill road dir-" trict. the local body was doing no more than its duty in bringing this proposal before the public. It will be known only as the Soldiers' Monument, nnd will, from its lofty situation, vividly recall to the present and to future generations the great victory and the glorious dead.—l am, etc., H. DOBBIE. Chairman One Tree Hill Road Board THE HUNS MIT UNS. (To the Editor.) Sir,— I observe your mild protest against the destruction of the ti-trce at Rotorua.
