In our report of the' annual meeting of the Dunedin Returned Soldiers' Association, published yesterday, a misconstruction is ant to be placed on a statement made by Mr Harvey in referring to tho arrangements for the Anzac dinner on April 25. It would appear from what he was reported to have said that the members of tho Women's Patriotic Association wero supplying a dinner of sovon courses at a cost of 2s' 6d per head. As a matter of fact tho ladir-s are supplying a dinner of seven courses free of cost to the soldiers, tho charge of 2s 6d that is being made- for admission being to cover other expenses in connection with the dinner.
