AIDES-DE-CAMP RESIGN
Signatories of Recent Defence Manifesto GAZETTE ANNOUNCEMENT [THE PRESS Special Service.] AUCKLAND, June 23. An announcement in the Gazette issued in Wellington to-night states that Colonel A. S. Wilder, D.5.0., M.C., and Colonel N. L. Macky, M.C., have relinquished their, appointments as honorary aides-de-camp to the Gover-nor-General. The two officers mentioned, with two other colonels in the Territorial Force, recently published throughout New Zealand a manifesto drawing attention to what they claimed were serious shortcomings* in the Territorial Force of the Dominion. The publication of the manifesto followed the report of a speech at Dargaville by the Minister for Defence (the Hon. F. Jones) reviewing the defence forces of the Dominion.
When the Gazette announcement was referred to Colonel Macky to-night, he said he did not wish to make any comment.
