EFFECT OF SERVICE.
The letters from "Mug No. 12/1204" and "2/Coloss.us" make very interesting reading for the Digger, and. are to the point. Medical men agree that men who have served any time at all in the trenches, having suffered great privations and nerve-racking, continuous bombardments, cannot be compared, physically now to the men who stayed behind and kept the home fires burning. What chance have these middle-aged men got to compete- with the younger generation in obtaining employment? I think the percentage of really fit men who have fought overseas would tie very small. Unity is strength. We gave our best for the country, and it is up to the Government now to see there are no double' headers in and give us a "fair spin." This little country is ""worth fighting for after all, and we have another generation following on, and I "wonder if they will be as fit as •their daddies were before they left these shores for the Great War. ANOTHER" MUG.
