The Petone Borough Council is desirous that children of fallen New Zealand soldiers should he given profer--tice of entry to the public service, and nas approached the Minister for De. fence with this object in view. & reply has been received from the Minister stating that the Government could not do more than it was doing at present, and the council is writing him further on the subject.
