MILITARY LAW.
LONDON, Alarcli 22. The Government is amending tlic Army and Air Force Acts, placing New Zealand and Australia on the same footing as the other Dominions regarding the application of military and air force law. The present Army and Air Force Acts put New Zealand and Australia in the same position as the colonies, because of their patriotic desire not to adopt certain sections of the Statute of Westminster which the other Dominions desired. The amendment will enable Dominion laws to apply to Dominion forces overseas and ment will enable Dominion laws to apply to any United Kingdom or colonial forces visiting New Zealand j and Australia.
