The Minister of Defence, interviewed last evening, said that all cases ;'requiring medical attention will, of course, travel north by the hospital train, and south to Lyttelton and on to Dunedin by the Tahiti. It is deairab'e that all men, whether fully recovered or not, 6hould do so in order to avoid the inconveiiienco of men straggle ing homo to their different districts by various routes and arriving' at 'different times. However, men going north may obtain- railway passes if they ask for ifliem, and these passes will enable them to travel by other than tho hospital train if they desire. ■ When going to Lyttelton, and from Lyttelton to Dunedin, they must either go in the Tahiti or find their own way and pay their own passages. It,is hoped that if the ship loaves Wellington to-night and arrives in Lyttelton on Sunday: morning, she may be able to proceed on Sunday night to Dunedin, where she will go right up to the wharf.. Thoro will be no hospital train in the South Island. Officers commanding districts will arrange for. the distribution of men from the respective centres in Christchurch and Dunedin, and to the various parts of Canterbury and Otago. It is anticipated that with regard to tho hospital cases being distributed to :the hospitals nearest to their homes it will be possible to send them by the ordinary trains.

All the men mil. be examined by a medical board! .in Wellington to-day, and classified as hospital cases, convalescents, etc._, irrespective of any former classification. The condition of tlio bulk of the men, who were described some time ago as "other"-cases, is not definitely known, though it is assumed that-they aro men who are not in immediate need of medical attention.

The death from wounds of TroopeT Alfred E. Thomas, while serving with tho 9th, Wellington-East Coast, Squadron, was reported some time ago. Particulars of the manner in which he met his death- liavo been received by his father, Mr. J. E. Thomas, Mount ISden, in a letter written on. July 7 by Chap-lain-Major William Grant, who has since been killed in action. Major Grant wroto as follows: —"Your gallant son has died of his wounds received in an engagement to extricate his comrades of the 9th Squadron, who wcro cut oft and surrounded by an overwhelming forco of the enemy. You liavo the satisfaction in tho midst of your sorrow and loss of knowing that your dear lad 'play the man' and nobly did his duty. I saw him at tho field dressing station when he was brought in, and afterwards at tho hospital ship, but ho was quite unconscious from tho first, tho chief injury being to the head. The doctor thought there was a chance for him, but we hear to-day that ho has succumbed to his wounds, another victim to German ambition and prido. One grieves that such a sacrifice of our young manhood is necossary, yet only so can righteousness and justice prevail for the world.' May you and all who mourn your loss find comfort in Him Who alono can lift the darkness and heal our wounds.". Tlio minimi meeting of the T.W.C.A. will bo held in Iho club rooms, Herbert Street, on Monday night next. For Bronchial Coughs and Colds,
