TROPHIES OF THE WAR.
THE SUPPLY EXHAUSTED. A REQUEST FOR RETURNS. Two machine-guns presented to Newmarket as war trophies are no longer wanted. A letter received by '.he New market Borough Council last evening from the Department of Internal Affairs stated that the supply of war trophies available f6r presentation to local bodies had long been exhausted, but applications were still coming in. The department therefore invited local bodies not making use of any trophies in their posression to return theni for issue to those applying for them. Apparently the unearthing of the weapons will involve some research, as councillors last evening confesised that they were unaware of the whereabouts of the trophies, or," in some ca:;es, even of their existence "I think wo had better start another war. We have not enough trophies," saul Mr. G. C. Malcolm, amid laughter, at a meetine of the Takapuna Borough Council last evening, when a letter was received from the War Memorial Committee asking for trophies and souvenirs of the Great War. It was decided to reply that no trophies were available.
