fTo the Ec'itor.) Sir,—l have read with disgust the letters of " Christian" and " James Barker", re the treatment of our late enemy subjects, and. consider them nothing less than a piece of gross ineratitude to those soldiers who fought for us and laid down their lives that we might be spared the horrors of Belgium. Imagine the feelings of a mother who lost five boye at the hands of the Germans, on reading the letters of the aforementioned correspondents. The Germans proved that they were a clever people during the late war, and it behoves us to "keep our eyes skinned" tor any new "etunts" on their part. This may be more easily accomplished by di-scouraging them in every way, and refusing to trade with them. In "carrying out the latter project we would be helping the Empire by importing more British goods. May I ask '"Christian" a question? Did you go to the war? rt appears from his letter and apparent knowledge of the Hun that he did not. —I am, etc., YOUNG N.Z.
