REM WITH DIGNITY.

ARMY’S DIFFICULT TASK. TURKS HAIL DEPARTURE WITH SATISFACTION. GENERAL HARRINGTON’S WARNING. [By Electric Cable —Copyright.] [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] (Received Thursday, 11.20 p.m.) CONSTANTINOPLE, July 11. General Harrington, in an Army Order to tho troops, says: “It must be realised it is only human t'o expect that our departure will be heralded with a certain amount of satisfaction by the Turks. I look toward all ranks to conduct themselves during this period with dignity and restraint and to do all in their power to avoid Incidents, in order that the evacuation may be conducted in accordance with the high standard existing throughout the force. I want to leave behind a memory of respect for the British forces, which will live long In the history of Turkey, and of the British Army. We all have a difficult task and the patience and restraint which have been exercisea are beyond all praise. These closing weeks may be difficult ones, and toi this reason, I ask the men to help m« to complete the task with dignity.’* ITALIAN REFORMS. ABOLITION OF DEATH DUTIES. ENCOURAGEMENT OF FAMILY. FORTUNES. [By Electric Cable —Copyright.] [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] (Received Thursday. 7 p.m.) ROME, July 11. The debate on the Electoral Reform Bill has opened. A sensation was caused by the resignation of Dom Sturzo, the leader of the Catholic Party who is strongly opposed to tho measure. Dom Sturzo, at a meeting of the National Counci, of tho Party, explained that his being an ecclesiastic had given rise to bitter attacks on the Church, and even against the Hoiy See. On the other hand Dom Sturzo’s political activity had latterly received unmistakable signs of disapproval from the Vatican. This is probably the true reason for his retirement. The Minister of Finance submitted a proposal to Cabinet for the abolition of death duties on family inheritance. No duties in future are to be paid by a husband, wife or parents, while other duties are considerably reduced. Signor Mussolini complimented the Minister and declared that the encouragement of family fortunes was the soundest national policy. PADDON AND HADFIELD. LATTER’S CHANCES BRIGHT. [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] [By Electric Cable—Copyright}. (Received Thursday, 7.35 pm) SYDNEY, July 12. In speaking at the reception tendered to Paddon and Hadfield at Lismore, Hadfield said the Richmond River course was not so good as that on the Wanganui. If he did not beat Paddon this time he would never be able to do it. Experts report that Hadfield is rowing with more length than he did on the Wanganui, and his boat appears to keep her run better. If he is fit and well he Avill bo a much stiffer proposition than last year. GREAT WHEAT PROSPECTS. SELLING FOR LESS THAN CpST. [By Electric Cable—Copyright] [Aust and N.Z.
