An English paper says that every day between 200 and 300 people write airgraph letters to members 'of the forces overseas which will never reach their destination, simply because the writers have omitted the address for delivery. When the writers put their names and addresses, the letters are returned in order to be properly addressed. Others will persist in writing airgraph letters to places where the system does not operate; and some address airgraph letters to civilians in U.S.A., when such letters are restricted to the armed forces. Others are addressed to Gibraltar and Malta, where airgraph services do not operate. For failing to render military service with the armed forces iu that he refused to parade and receive battledress, a conscientious objector, Oswald Nolan Pitcher, was convicted yesterday by Mr. Stout, S.M. in the Magistrates’ Court, Wellington, and sentenced to defaulters’ dej£fttjon.
