CRAVES OF AUSTRALIANS.
VISITING DISCOURAGED. RE-BURIALS NOT YET COMPLETE. LONDON, Dec. 4. A movement is on foot, supported by leading military authorities, for the establishment of an Australian hostel at Amicus for visitors to t/io buttleCiolds. Meanwhile Mr Andrew Fisher, who has returned to London, urges relatives, unless they own a motor car, to defer visits for at least a year. “Transport and hotel accommodation are almost unprocurable," ho says. “Reburials are proceeding, and relatives must expect disappointment at not finding traces of their lioys; but some day tablets on hallowed grounds'will tell tho whole tale.” Tho divisional memorials still await bronze tablets, and tho Second Division’s superstructure lias not yet been commenced. It appears that the land wrangles, with regarci to the corps’ memorials on tho Poziores situ are still unsettled.
