Referring to the probable duration of the war, Colonel Sleeman stated, in his address to officers yesterday, that a remark lie made in Auckland had been misinterpreted. He had said they would beat the Germans next year or earlier, but he had not meant that that would be the end of the war and the complete defeat of the enemy. In his view at least two years of war could be- looked for, though they might achieve a decisive victory before that time. Therefore they must carry on with the war work. Messrs. E. Johnston and Co. will sell to-morrow, at 10.30 a.m., o.t Buckle-street, houeo fittings, etc.; on Friday, at 10.30 a.m., on the ground, Dee-street, Island Bay, building material, etc.; on Thursday n,nd Friday. at 10 a.m. each day, furi niture at 124, Vivian-strwl.
