THE WEEKLY NEWS
VICTORIA CROSS AWARDS New Zealand was honoured last week when Victoria Crosses were awarded to Second-Lieutenant C. H. Upham and Sergeants A. C. Hulme and J. D. Hinton. The stories of their exploits are featured in Thk Wkeklv Nkws, on sale to-day, and pictures are printed of Lieutenant Upham and his mother and Sergeant Hulme, who is now in New Zealand recovering from a wound. There are many interesting personal glimpses of these men. Other pictorial features this week include Australia's northern garrisons, remedial camp at Papakura for unfit soldiers, Koiterangi man-hunt and funerals of the victims, and some interesting photographs of the Russian and German forces now engaged in a terrific struggle. The topical war news is discussed m authoritative articles on the leading features of political and military situations, whether Japan will decide to strike now, and how deep has the German thrust moved into Russia's vital life lines. Regular readers will find their sections on sport, social, farming, housecraft and general news up to their highest standards.
