Nazi Decree in Holland.—Dutch quarters in London believe that the effects of Royal Air Force raids and widespread sabotage by Dutch patriots are the reasons for a new decree by the German authorities in Holland. The decree institutes a sentence of six months’ imprisonment or a fine of 500 guilders for anyone causing delay to the loading or unloading of ships or railway waggons, or delaying transport.—Rugby, November 15. Capture of Madagascar.—General Smuts has sent a telegram to Lieuten-ant-General Sir William Platt, General Officer Commanding, East Africa, congratulating him on the final capture of Madagascar. Lieutenant-General Platt has replied on behalf of all ranks of the East African Command, thanking General Smuts for the message and saying that the South African Army and Air Force contributed in no small degree to the success of the operations. —Rugby.

Pig Production On Waimate Farms. — A comprehensive paper about the place pig production should occupy on the average agricultural farm in Waimate County was read at a meeting of the Waimate Progress League.
