OTAKEHO.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

WAR ITEMS

It is with regret that I "have to chronicle the sad fact that Mr and Mrs Surgenor, of Otakeho, received on Thursday from the Minister of Defence intimation that their son William has been posted as missing1 since August 8 at the Dardanelles. This news will be received with regret not only here but also in Stratford, Manaia and Rahotu, where he was always prominent in the football field during his residence in those places, and they, with friends here, will hope that yet all may be well with him at the front.

Mr and Mrs W. Moller, of Otakeho, left yesterday morning to proceed to Wellington to meet their son Jack, who is returning from the Dardanelles on board the Tahiti, and who is amongst the wounded returning from that warm quarter of the globe.
