Up to March 31 last 125 chaplains had been despatched on service with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, and out of that number 89 were still serving abroad. Four chaplains had been killed in action, and 10 had been decorated by His Majesty the King for distinguished and meritorious service. The supply of suitable chaplains for sprvici-5 with our troops oversea, and in the training camps in New Zealand, has been well maintained, states General Robin, and the churches have rendered valuable assistance in the selection of clergymen for sen'ice abroad.

In the surrender of the German warships it fell to the lot of the Sydney to look after and hoard the new Emdon. and the boarding-party must have heen greatly interested at finding in the commander's cabin an oil painting of the fight between the original Emden ■>nd the Sydney. That work of art, even though it probably gives quite an erroneous idea of the engagement, -.no-lit certainly to be handed over to Australia.

"I hope later on," said Sir Joseph "Ward in the House of Representatives, "that we shall find the Minister of Defence utilising the transports returning to the Old Country to have the members of Parliament go there too, and utilising the transports also to convey the fathers and mothers of soldiers at cheap rates to those never-to-be-forgotten fields whore their sons have fought.

Goodyear Tyres in this long sustained irind over all sorts of road proved gjSgjlltf**™ !S?f!illSUif3tf»m»a«i^t»itiiZ9 v aiiec No other tyres could possibly come through this test as Goodyears did. Leaving the G.P.0., Sydney, on Saturday at 10 p.m., Mr. Fred. Z. Eager drove the whole distance, with only two short intervals for refreshment, making the phenomenal average of over 31 miles per hour through the 19i hours. The tyres were not touched at any part of the journey. Only four Australian Motor Car Records have been attempted on Goodyear, and all four have been secured by cars equipped with Goodyear No-Hook Straight Wall Cord Tyres, world-famed for spring, stamina, vitality and endurance. These are the Southport Speed Trials, when 84 miles per hour was attained, the Hill Climb Test at One Tree Hill, the Brisbane-Toowoomba Record of 85 miles, and last, this 620 mile run from Sydney to Brisbane, beating the best previous record by 6 hours 24-minutes. Over 90 per cent, of the Speedway and Motor Records made in U.S.A. during the last two seasons were made on Goodyear Cords, so how, in (he face of these truly marvellous performances, can you consider any other equ ; pm<-'nt than Goodyear.
