AEROPLANE "SCARES."
AND WAR REGULATIONS. (Special to "Star.") WELLINGTON, This Day. Since the disclosure of the boast by an officer of a German raider that he had passed over Sydney in a sea-plane, the authorities in New Zealand have had to cope with quite an epidemic of reports about mysterious aeroplanes circl.ng around the more remote paits of New Zealand. In every case, careful investigation has to be made, and in every case, the report has been found to be -\7Tthout foundation. Some of these reports lia\found their way into the newspareis, causing somewhat' of a scare, and it is intended to prosecute Under the War Regulations any person who in future c'r. culates without good cause any such report likely to cause public alarm. If New Zealandeis see any more mysterious visitants in the sky, their best wl b to carefully verify the sight, and quietly inform the nearest police or Defence officer, avoiding any public mention for fear that it comes under the scope of the numerous possible offences ajrainst these comprehensive War Regulations.
