CHAMPION NOTICES WITH A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PLEASURE AND DISMAY THAT THE "LAST MAN" CONTROVERSY IS CREATING HUMOUR AND SADNESS. IT IS ADMITTED BY SIR JAMES AND. SIR THOMAS IN A FRIENDLY SPAR FOR DOMINION SUPREMACY (VIDE NEWSPAPER REPORTS AS AT FOOT), THAT FURTHER DRAINAGE WILL BE A GREAT STRAIN ON OUR MANPOWER AND RESOURCES. CHAMPION THINKS.HE WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP UP THE SUPPLY OF HIS MUSCLE-RAISER FLOUR AND STANDARD OATMEAL AND ROLLED OATS WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE WHEAT CONTROLLER, AND HE HAS REMINDED HIM OF WHAT GENERAL FOCH SAID TO AMERICA, "HURRY, HURRY." THE FIGHTING PASTORS OF MY FLOCK, AFTER PARTAKING OF STANDARD OATMEAL, ROLLED OATS, AND GRUEL MEAL FOR INVALIDS, NOW APPEAR TO BE PASSIVE AND ADMIT THEIR FOLLY. IT WAS A HEAVY STRAIN ON THOSE SOOTHERS, BUT NOW THAT PEACE REIGNS AND NO HEADS BROKEN, CHAMPION WILL BE ABLE TO SUPPLY ALL REQUIREMENTS. Extract from. Sir_ Thomas Mackenzie's speech at a patriotio rally at the Town Hall, Leods, 10th July:— ■ "New Zealand had sent 110,000 soldiers out of a. million inhabitants, but he confessed the strain on the man-power and resources of the Dominion was now beginning to tell. New Zealand, however, could supply a superabundance of foodstuffs and raw material, while America —thank God for America—had men in plenty willing- to go. It was sound policy to accept men from America and foodstuffs from New Zealand." (BI TBLBGBAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.) . WELLINGTON, Monday, 15-7-18. • Reference to the published report of some remarks by the High Commissioner in London to the effect that the Dominion's man-power was diminishing, and hinting at the possibility of the Americans taking the place of tho New Zealanders, was made by Sir James Allen to-night. The Dominion, he said, riad entered the campaign with the intention of seoing it through and he believed the people of New Zealand wore still determined to do so. He believetl the men at tho front wished to fight the matter out and intended playing their part to the end. There was a great strain upon New Zealand's man-power and resources, but, like" our Allies, wo were prepared to meet those strains and to do' and give all we could in this fight for freedom. _We were glad to see the Americans coming in, and wo hoped that they would come in such numbers that victory would be certain. So far as he was concerned he considered himself pledged absolutely to keep tho New Zealand Division up to strength as long as he h&d man-power to do it. I have again spoken. V., AUCKLAND.
