NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS. " Ashamed of Dunodiii."—No information was given anywlioro in tho dominion as to tho oxaofc iliitn of sailing of tho troops. It was impossible that it could bo givon and, if it had been possible, it was inexpedient. " Stylish."—Really we do not think the question of (lie Infest, styles of dress ono of sufficiently absorbing interest to warrant the publication of your letter at tho present juncture. "Katiki." —Tho position with regard to tho claims of the bereaved upon various funds is as was stated by us. Somo of r tho widows will, however, not bo (nullified to receive pensions under tho Women's Pensions Act. Moreover, tho compensation receivable under tho Workers' Compensation Act may not in all oases amount to £500. That is tho maximum amount of compensation obtainable. The actual amount is 156 times tho average weekly earnings of the deceased subject to the maximum stated and to a minimum of £200. This, again, applies only in the case of the decoaserl leaving total dependents. ]f he loaves partial dependents, the compensation is such sum as is reasonable and proportionate to tho injury to those dependents.
