A FRENCHWOMAN ON THE ANZACS.

"A Frenchwoman in London," writing on the changed aspect of the city On the occasion of her third visit, says: "The Anzacs are literally and figuratively tremendous! Are they all two metres high and one broad, and are they made entirely of bronze, and are all their chins cut out square by machinery? They are almost terrifying, these yong men, their impassivity is quite dreadful. ' The rich Australian who used to visit the , Home Country for pleasure, the successful merchant or farmer who came on business, was quite different from - these large, slow, granite giants out of the middle of everywhere. And if those I saw are convalescents, what in the name of wonder can the healthy ones be like? Macaulav would not have written so lightly about his New Zeae he coul £ have seen the Anzac of 1916. And if any New Zealander ever does stand on London Brki°-e looking at the ruins of St. Paul's, he will be neither surprised, perplexed, wondering, nor admiring. " Ho will just walk away again, four feet td his 6k>w stride, and refrain from troubling ibout the matter."
