HONOUR APPRECIATED
(0.C.) WELLINGTON, this day. Appreciation by Genera] Smuts of his election as an honorary member of the Royal Society of New Zealand is conveyed in a letter from his private secretary to the Royal Society: "The Royal Society of New Zealand has such a distinguished scientific record, and many of its members are and have been outstanding ornaments of science. The General remembers especially his dear old friends Richard Maclaurin and Lord Rutherford," said the letter. "The association of South African and New Zealand troops as comrades on many a battlefield in this war adds to the General's pleasure in this welcome honour, which he assumes must be largely inspired by a desire to emphasise this comradeship in arms of our two countries, a comradeship which is surely making its notable contribution to that final victory to which we are all! ardently looking." i
