PATENTED IN GERMANY.

Dear "Truth."— About a fortnight ago three local youths who were here on final leavo f roia Featherston camp, were farewelled by the Patriotic Committee, each receiving a present of a safety razor. To the everlasting disgrace of the Patriotic Committee, each razor was plainly stamped "Patented In Germany." As to the quality of same, woll, I do not know which would be the worse act of cruelty to Inflict on a man — To force him to shave with one of these razors, or to lock him up m a room with no other companions except? three or four of New Zealand's leading wowsers. If I were to express my true feelings on the action of the Takapau Patriotic Committee. I am afraid this paper might suddenly Ignite, so I will leavo your able pen to express a further opinion on this matter, or might not this give the "Women's Anti-German League" something to think over. — Yours, etc, DISGUSTED. Takapau.
