AN EYE OPENER
< Sir,—ln Saturday's issue of your journal we read of one Wilson doing the • rounds of the telegraph offices, claiming', to he a sub-inspector. What game was he up to? Suppose he was a- German? ; What a lot of dupes he found—an open door everywhere —and yet we profess to , be such a wide-awake lot. / Sir, why should anyone in charge allow anyone to inspect without showing ♦his authority, and if not known to the postmaster in charge, why not wire or telephone to headquarters for corroboration or confirmation of the man's story? ; I should think the postal and telegraph. authorities would supply each branch ' post office with a list of its travelling • officials, and'also intimating any changes ! that have taken or arc taking place, so ' that no\one might be gulled or taken • unawares, as the system of inspection • in these offices should be as closely guarded as a munition factory.—l am, ' etC '' HENRY WALTON., Waikanae, July 9th, 1917.
