BISHOP JULIUS AN ADVOCATE CHBISTCHURCII, This Day. At the Diocesan Synod of Chris*; church, Bishop Julius, referring t< 3 " the Avar, said : "While Lord Kitclient: is silent, it is certainly no business o mine to venture an opinion on tlr< question of compulsion. All f v could wish that it were possibile U supply men and win the war on.th< voluntary system, but the Empire h not doing its best and until it does y _ there is little hope of victory. We c cannot be too .thankful for the spirit I. of sacrifice manifest throughout the j. Empire and. not least of all in New a Zealand. The people have given their sons freely and are not weary of giving what else they have to give. Of course, there are some "both here and at Home making money by the war No taxation can touch them more than it touches others. They must be left to Divine judgment of deJ gradation." ■ BATTLE~OF~ANZAC GALLANTRY OF NEW ZEALANDERS HOW ERA VE- ; OFFICERS DIED. - LETTER FROM GENERAL . GODLEY , An interesting letter from General I ' Sir Alexander Godley, elated Anzac, , August 14t;hj and referring to some of . the lighting that occurred on Gallipoli , between August 6th aud 12th, has been received by the Hon. Jas. Allen, Mm:- -: ister of. Defence. Extracts from this ; I were read in the House by Mr. Ali len. j "Both our Brigades covered them- . selves with glory," says the New Zea1 . Hmd Commander, "and really to a great extent bore the brunt of the 1 battle, and to the greatest extent were responsible for our success as far as it went. Our Mounted Ritles Brigade formed the covering force, and cleared the front for the advance of the assault ing columns on the night of the 6th. That liight 6ux* > 'TT^?utry Ffigade gained a footing on the ridge, and held it throughout the Sth and' 9th, when, completely, exhausted, they had to be relieved on the night of the Dth by troops of the new armies who, unfortunately ,lost it ou the morning of the 'lOth. '•:. "I cannot speak too highly of the conduct of officers and men. I am desperately grieved that they should have suffered such heavy casualties. Colonel Bauchop was desperately, -I am afraid mortally, wounded while most gallantly leading his men to the assault on the night of the 6th, under most extraordinarily difficult condition arid in a country .where nothing but most gallant troops could possibly have succeeded. I saw him after he brought down and though lie was hardly conscious, all he said was, 'I hope I we did what you wanted,' and 'It was (glorious while it lasted.' Lieut.-Colo-nel Malone was killed at the head of his battalion at the very top of the ridge overlooking the Dardanelles, and is buried in a Turkish fort, which only a leader of most exceptional valour and courage could have captured. I can imagine no more fitting resting place for such a gallant soul. Colonel Findlay and Major Overton, of the Canterbury Mounted Rifles, also Colonel Chap man ,of the Auckland Mounted Rifles, fell in a most gallant manner^-and both Moore and Moir ,of the Otago Battalion, were splendid in the way they led their men. . £'. \" - "The last' lot of-Reinfprcepients, the Fifth, arrived Avhile ' the .-light was actually in. progress. >^As they 'arrived to join the Brigade, tliey; were at once despatched to capture] a Turkish trench, ;which4hey did most gallantly, and without the slightiesjb hesitation, and held it to the end of the battle. They were Auckland men. "The Maoris were heavily engaged and fought ag I expected they would, in a manner full worthy of the traditions of their race."
