RETURNED' SOLDIER'S CASE. Among the questions to be considered at a meeting of tho Auckland branenh of the New Zealand Returned Soldiers' Association this evening is one of considerable importance to returned men. It is a case of a soldier being deprived of his main source of income through being ousted by a Chinaman. The facts of the case from the association's standpoint .ire that the man on returning from active service received a grant from the Repatriation Department for the purpose of starting a market garden at Rotorua. He had a contract to supply the King George Hospital with vegetables, but the contract, having expired, has been given to a Chinaman at Newmarket. Tenders were invited, and evidently the Chinaman's tender being lower than the soldier's, was accepted by the Defence Department, The soldier states positively that the vegetables he supplied gaw every satisfaction. He went away on active service early in tho war, and was invalided home after having been severely wounded.
