Professor Hammond, of the Ohio State University, who visited this dominion in 1911 to make a personal inquiry into the operation of the industrial arbitration law, contributed an interesting article to the May issue of the Quarterly Journal of Economics on "Tlie Regulation of Wages in New Zealand." In it he has fallen into an error—evidently quite unwittingly as, when he prepared the article, he was not in possession of the awards of the Court of Arbitration for 1916. Professor Hammond writes: — Viewing the matter from this distance, £md frankly admitting our ignorance of the conditions disclosed at the hearing oi the cases which have arisen, it docs not appear what justification, if any there t S . i * or 'he failure on the part f of tho court to advance tho minimum wage, both for skilled and unskilled Jabour, since the outbreak of the war . . . Greater steadiness of employment has doubtless come to tho rescue of the worker and may have prevented a lowering in his standard of .living even with a steady advance .in retail prices. But if this is the explanation of the court's iauure to advance the minimum wage, it means that ; according to that tribunal, the employing classes alone are to keep all -the gains that come from a riso of prices. Professor Hammond is "probably aware by this time of the erroneousness of his assumption that the court has not advanced the minimum wage of either unskilled or skilled labour since the outbreak of war. There was certainly an indisposition on the part of the court to grant demands, in the early stages of the war, for increases in wages that were based on the occurrence of the war. The doubt that was entertained as to the effect which the war would have upon the industries of tho country and upon the spending power of the community justified the exercise of caution by the court at that tims. In a few of the earlier cases, in which the existence of the war conditions was' ur°-ed as a reason why wages should be raised, the court expressed a fear lest trade •would be prejudicially affected by the diminution in the spending power of the public consequent upon the heavy taxation that would have to be met. When however, it became apparent that the dominion was to enjoy material prosperity through the war the court, influenced at first by tho fact that the employers in a few industries had agreed to pay war borfuses, did not hesitate in many cases to improve the conditions of the workers m respect of the wages they received. Generally, but not invariably, it has done so by the. award of a war bonus. Professor Hammond observes in the course of his article on "The Regulation of Wages in New Zealand" that "prohably not one of the members of Parliament who voted for the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1894, imagined that by so doing he was voting to take away from employers and employees the power to contract freely in their industrial relations." It is, of course, the plain fact that the system which was introduced with the object of settling differences that might otherwise have been productive of strikes has become a system for the judicial regulation of wages. In pursuance of this principle tho court has, since the tabulation of figures relative to prices of commodities has been systematically undertaken by the Government Statistician, necessarily taken the cost of living into consideration.' An extension of the principle in a direction which would tend to lower tho status of the court was advocated l>y Mr Veitch in his speech last week in the debate on the Budget.

"When," he said, "any section of wageearners demanded an increase of pay the Board of Trade should make investigations to see to what extent the cost of living had increased,- and then, in conjunction with the Arbitration Court, assess the whole position." Once the principle was established upon which the minimum wage should be determined, and upon which, perhaps also, there should bo a discrimination of payment in favour of the skilled artisan, the wages to be earned from time to time in an industry would apparently he settled by the use of a readyreckoner. In the meantime, however, it is an interesting circumstance that the war and the shortage of labour caused by the war havo had, in large measure, the effect of restoring to employers and employees the power, which the operation of the arbitration system had taken away from them, "to contract freely in their industrial relations," either in their individual capacities or through their collective organisations. The shearing industry supplies a striking case in point. There is, of course, more than a mere question oi terms involved in the disagreement between the sheepowners and the shearers' representatives over the proposal of the employers to supplement a fixed rate of pay by a war bonus. The essential point is that a war bonus is a gratuity granted under exceptional circumstances, whereas the shearers clearly aim at securing, if possible, a permanent advance., But, in any case, the experience of last season showed that freedom of contract had virtually been restored between shearers and sheepowners. A war correspondent, after noting the wonder f -% ready efficiency of the surgical service on the edge of a recent battlefield, adds that the same prompt treatment was Extended to German wounded prisoners. This is only in keeping with the consistent British and French practice throughout the war; but at least during the first year and a-half the Germans treated their prisoners in very different fashion. Captain Dolbey, 11.A.M C ~in his recently published book, "A Regimental Surgeon in War and Prison," describes in detail how the Germans in 1914 not only neglected their suffering captives, but actually prevented him from giving his fellow-prisoners the benefit of his pro° fessional skill. There is reason to believe that less brutal methods are in vogue now —perhaps owing to politic rather than to humanitarian considerations; and this seems to be implied in a ludicrous story told by a Times special correspondent in illustration of the way in. which tile Germans were taken by surprise at Roeux in mid-May. One story, indeed, that is being told, which is almost too good to be true, is to the effect that we took prisoner in a dug-out a German doctor and his staff, and, finding the place equipped as a dressing station, wc took our wounded down to him for treatment, no one of our men there being able to speak Gorman. He went ahead and dressed our wounded, but each one when finished, he labelled for despatch to a Berlin hospital. It was not till lie had done oyer a hundred and the affair was ended that he discovered that A ns up w ° un ded prisoners taken by the Germans, but that he was himself a prisoner and attending to his conquerors. ° That German doctor, if the; story is authentic, at least did his duty promptly by the men whom foe supposed to be prisoners. Had he shown any carelessness, he would not have been allowed to reach the hundredth case without being roughly undeceived.

3 There would doubtless be the salt of ex- . aggeration or invention in Punch's notice % of a concert at the British front, with prisoners (or guests, let us say) among the performers the chairman announcing at a certain stage of the proceedings, "Our friends Hans and Fritz will now oblige with the 'ymn of 'ate." But fact, .at , least in these astonishing, days, i s saltier than fiction; and a vivid report of rival , concerts has been furnished by two French war correspondents who have published an , ac ount of a visit to the British lines : The British and German trenches were , quite close together, and the occupants on both sides were relieving the tedium with music. The English snouted across, asking for the bong of Hate, and the Germans obliged. " Encore! Encore!" shouted a. Highlander, who was trying to pick up the tune on his bagpipe. The song began again, supported by the bagpipe, and all the English joined in it. , 111 what unexpected tempo? That , solemn chant of hatred, slow as church music, had become, in its passage across to the opposite trench, a sort of devilish i rag-time—lively dance-music—a suitable i • accompaniment for the can-can. The Ger- ; mans came to the conclusion that thev were being laughed at. By way of applause, they launched a hundred bombs. A hundred British bombs replied to them and ttien darkness fell and the tedium was worse than ever. There is a world of significance in that record of contrasted temperaments. It has been pointedly remarked tlrat though the German cannot see a joke against himself he can see that other people see it, and this partial .perception causes him acute trouble. The British soldier does not hate the German; his constant, almost tiresomoly constant, references to " Fritz'' would alone be sufficient proof of this fact. As for Jus attitude towards the prisoners whom he captures, Sir Douglas Haig is said to have exclaimed : " Why, bless your heart, they treat 'em like tame rabbits— make pets of them." Tf the British do not hate, there is no question about the intense reality of the Belgians' hatred. The i ron has entered into the soul of that outraged people, and who will assume the right to rebuke 'them * - soldiers and civilians alite, they admit no bounds to their resentment? The feeling of all reputable Belgians towards the Germans is of a bitterness which may be illustrated by the reply of one of them to the question what he should do if, after the war, a German commercial traveller should venture to call at his factory for orders. "I should to the undertaker," was his answer. "I know my workpeople well enough to be quite sure that only the corpse of a German commercial traveller would ever get as far as my office." Indeed, if this clandestine press is anv guide, it is unlikely that, in the future any Germans will be tolerated in Belgian ■ territory except in the character of indentured labourers employed in rebuilding the ruined towns, and pulling down and removing in wheelbarrows the monuments winch the Germans have set up on Belgian soil, to the glory of their arms; and oven these will stand in need of the constant protection of the police. We have taken that passage from a review of " La Presse Clandestine dans La Belgique Occupee," a book recently published in Paris. The book itself we have not yet seen, but the reviews show it to be an intensely interesting account of the way in which the Belgian secret press, with almost incredible success, has defied and out-manoeuvred the oppressive vigilance of the country's ruthless occupiers. Of course, the author of "La Presse Clandestine does not disclose the cryptic means by which Belgian writers have managed to print and circulate their organs, virtually with impunity. Pow they succeeded we can scarcely oonjecture; we only know that they succeeded so well that the most elaborate watchfulness could not save von Bissing Irimself from finding a free copy of every issue of "La Libre Belgique (the most audaciously contemp- ' tuous of the secret journals) on his desk while a Landsturm man has walked the ' streets of Brussels without knowing that | a free copy of the same plain-speaking pub- I I

lication was pinned to the back of his uniform. "Never in the history of the world," opines a reviewer, " has barbarism been more successfully set at defiance by intelligence." The German police appear to havo been fooled to tlie top of their bent. They " received elaborate directions to secret chambers in which the staff of a journal were alleged to be working. They started in pursuit, only to find themselves, at the end of a long voyage of discovery, brought up in a dust-bin or a lavatory." One journal, Motus, was detected and suppressed. Of this jcm-nal it is recorded : It announced an addition to the family of the Crown Prince as the birth of " un nouveau princc-monseigneur," and repeated a, report that tho Kaiser was losing llesli with the statement that those who commented on the fact wore to be prosecuted for tho cr:me of " ppse-majesto." I erhaps it is necessary to add, m order that no one may miss tho point of the former pun, that " pinee-monseigneur" is the I'rench for a burglar's jemmy—an implement which the Hohenzollern heir may be assumed to havo used when ho went through the chateau of the Baron de Baye m .b ranee. "Apres la guerre," no doubt, tho strange achievements of the Belgian secret press will be more fully disclosed and explained. Sir Joseph Ward announced in the House ot Representatives yesterday (says our Wellington correspondent) that during the war old-age pensions, widows' pensions, Maori war pensions, and the pensions of miners suffering from pneumoconiosis would : be increased by 5s per week. Speaking in the House of Representatives last evening, Mr Witty stated that, unless something was done to stop the slaughter of ewe-lambs, this country would be in serious trouble. Tho annual conference of delegates of the New Zealand Patriotic War Relief Societies will be held m Wellington to-morrow. Tho Advisory Board will meet this morning. VVhen asked by our correspondent yesterday whether any steps were being taken to secure an official record of New Zealand s part in the war, the Prime Minister c-tated that arrangements had been made for an official history of the war, to be written in London, and it had also been arranged that New Zealand's share in the war should be written by a man in a position to write such history. A man who resides in Cumberland street was arrested yesterday morning by Detective K/ergeant Kemp and Detect.ve Hall on a charge of receiving stolen property from William Frank James, who was charged with tne theft oi articles yesterday, and was remanded. Tho property belonged to boardtrs at' tho Imperial, Criterion, and Prince of vVales Hotels. pio monthly meeting of the Otago Institute vvas held in the physics room of tho University last evening, when Professor Jack gave an address on "The Gyroscope and Its Application." The lecturer dealt at considerable length with his subject, his remarks and explanations being elaborately illustrated by the spinning top, the torpedo, the rotation of the earth round the sun the spin of a bullet from a gun, the mariner's compass, the method of steadying smaller ships, and the monorail. At the conclusion of the lecture Dr Inglis, who presided over the meeting, conveyed to Professor Jack the hearty appreciation of those who had listened to what was certainly an interesting address. Advice was received from Pembroke yesterday to the effect that the bridge over the Cardrona River had been washed away. Motorists for Pembroke are advised to cross the Clutha River at Luggate and proceed via Hawea. Probably some time will elapse betoro repairs are effected. When the Grand Jury made its last appearance before his Honor Mr Justice Sim at the recent criminal sessions it made representations to the effect that the Grand Jury endorsed a recommendation, made by a Grand Jury at Christchurch, that in future persons found guilty of sexual offences on young children should be, at the direction of the judge, ordered to be' flogged, and that in such cases an order should be made prohibiting the publication of the details °, the case in the newspapers. Since then the Minister of Justice (the Hon. J. A. Hanan) has written to the Registrar of the bupreme Court here that the representations made will receive consideration.

re gular meeting of the ' committee ot the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was held yesterday afternoon. Mr George Fen wick presided. The Rev VV.-Saunders referred to the fact that two of the sons of the chairman who were at the front had been mentioned in despatches, and thought the committee should offer its congratulations to the chairman. The chairman said he thought they should have passed Mr Saunders a similar, compliment because they knew his son had received honourable mention and a great distinction It may be explained that Major J. li. Saunders received the D.S.O. for services in Gallipoli and France. The inspector's report and several other matters were dealt with, and it was decided that the question of members of -the society being provided with"the same insignia of office be considered. This question was raised by a member of committee on account of the offhand and even offensive manner in which his intervention in a case of assumed cruelty had been received by the person directly concerned. Mr W Clarke (secretary of the local brauch of the Seamen's Union) and Mr J Davis (a member of'the Dunedm executive) left for Wellington on Monday for the purpose of attending a conference of delegates from the several unions. It is understood that some very important business will come up for consideration. Speaking to a Daily Times representative yesterday concerning the rabbit industry in Otago. Mr C. Todd said he had had 33 years experience in connection with the trade, and had arrived at the conclusion that it could not be emphasised too strongly that the rabbit industry militated against the real prosperity of the province and the dominion. The country now rabbit infested " would, if cleared of the pest, support hundreds of people who had no inducement to go on to Otago Central lands under existing conditions. He knew the Otago Central land well, and he was satisfied that it could be made as productive as almost any part of New Zealand if handled properly. The wire netting of holdings, and leaving the rabbits to their natural enemy, plus judicious poisoning would soon have the effect of clearing the land and converting it into good pastoral country. All the low-lying areas could be made intensely pioductive in regard to fruit and lucerne. . were recorded at yesterday's meeting of the Early Settlers' Association the death of 17 persons connected with the association. Their united ages totalled 1409 years, a'n average of 83 years. Mr H. G. Young, S.M., presided over a short sitting of the City Police Court yesterday, when a first offender, for drunkenness, was fined 10s, or 48 hours' imprisonment. John Menton, a member of the [ Expeditionary Force, on final leave, was charged with drunkenness and with procuring liquor during the currency of a prohibition order. Defendant said that he thought his order had expired, but Subinspector Mathieson said that such was not the case, and he asked that this man bo handed over to the military authorities, lhe magistrates convictcd and discharged tho defendant, and ordered him to bo handed over to tho military authorities. Though building priccs have advanced enormously since the war began residences continue to be erected in Wellington, but they are mostly houses of tho 'thousand pound" type—too expensive for the ordinary working man. lhe high prices have to a great extent restricted the operations of the workers' dwellings department, since contracts cannot be let within the financial limit set by the regulations. Even if workers were willing to saddle themselves with war prices in order to obtain the dwellings, it is considered that it would be bad policy on the part of the department to build, since the result would ' not bo to cheapen housing costs, .but to perpetuate tho present scale of expense. When years of peace bring about a reduction of building charges, as is. considered inevitable, it ■ might happen that the tenants would' find it \ an advantage to surrender their small in- ■, terest in expensive war .built dwellirgs and I take houses erected in more normal timw ~

• The Westcott Estate, just beyond Ettrick which was recently acquired by the Gc vernment for returned soldiers, has no"\ been surveyed. The hill country has bee] divided into four blocks, averaging abou 300. acres each, while tho front portion which is mostly level land, has been cu up into 17 blocks, ranging from 17 acres b 5'J acres. This comprises some of the bos apple-growing land in tho province. Thi should prove an ideal homo for returne< soldiers, as weak and nerve-shattered mei can be restored to normal health and a the same timo develop a profitable industry In the House of Representatives yester day, Mr Craigie presented a petition signec by 140 members of tho New Zealand Stati Sorvice Association asking tho Governmen to devise means of effecting relief in thi matter of the increased cost of living. M; Craigie added that tho petitioners wis hoc the Government to set up a committee t( consider the cost of living and to hear th< evidence of servants of the State and other; whose testimony might bo regarded as im poitant. Mr Isitt said he had a similai petition, signed by 135 public servants resi ; dent in his electorate. The Prime Ministei said he would not have any objection tc setting up a committee of the House or j m n . es _ su ogested. Thero were certair difficulties in the way, and he was not prepared to make a definite promise at thai 6t-age. He would bo able to give an answei within a few days. He thought that i 1 would be a very good thing to have the whole subject ventilated and let the people get an idea, of the difficulties in the way ol doing what they were asking in connection with the cost of living. A Press Association telegram states that a motion by Mr Massey . last night to set up a special committee tc consider tho cost of living was agreed to. Our' Sydney correspondent states that a well-known Queensland judge (Mr Justice ohand) had a remarkable experience in iownsville, where he had gone to preside at the sittings of the Supreme Court, lie had a Japanese servant named Masajiro, whose behaviour recently had bec„iii_ curious and eccentric. So the judge dismissed him. The Japanese, however, refused t6 leave his chambers. A Japanese merchant, Mr Higashi, was called in, and remonstrated with his countryman, 'but Masajiro still refused to leave, so the judge decided to sleep at an hotel, and Mr Higashi left. I lieu Masajiro attacked him suddenly. He tripped the judge, threw him heavily, and beat his head on the floor. The judge fought vigorously. The clamour was heard by Mr Clancy (the Supreme Court caretaker), and he ran in £nd closed with Masajiro, who behaved like a wild animal, and bit Clancy's hand. Clancy's 15-year-old boy joined in, and hit Masajiro on the head with a stick, and Masajiro fled. The judge* bleeding freely from the head, and suffering considerably from shock, was sent to a hospital, but his condition was not serious. The apparently demented Japanese returned later to the judge's chambers, and was arrested. The Hon. Mr Mac Donald (Minister of Agriculture) returned to Wellington from Gisborne on Monday evening. During his visit there he received several deputations, including one which laid before him problems affecting soldiers and their dependents. In reply to representations made by a deputation regarding the settling of soldiers on the land, the Minister stated that up to the present the Government had mtjro land than was 'being applied for. He pointed out that, with the price of land of good quality so high (the Government had recently purchased a property at Palmerston North at £67 per acre), and with fencing wire at £40 a ton, and cattle at £15 or £16 per head, the proposition was a very difficult one. It was proposed to raise £2,000,000 this year to help the eoldiers in general. Ail impression appears to prevail among returned soldiers tuat all oi them are entitled to wear tne strip of scarlet' braid on tho lower portion ot the left eleeve of tho jacket. Reference to the-Army Order on tile subject snows that this distinction may be worn only by returned soldiers who are employed in a military capacity on Headquarters, District, or Expeditionary Force Camp Staffs. The order also states that it must be clearly understood that tho scarlet braid will cease to be worn by an officer, non-commissioned officer., or man directly he ceases to be employed in New Zealand on homo service or when he receives a medal for services rendered during the present war, or in the event of his reembarkation for active servioe abroad, whichever is tho earliest. Preliminary negotiations have been entered into between iVL r Allan iiell and Messrs Walsh Bros and Dexter, proprietors of the Flying School at Kohimarama, tor an aeroplane expedition to tho far north nest January. It is proposed to give demonstrations at the principal centres. The object of the expedition will be to give further publicity to the north, and to demonstrate to the inhabitants the practical possibility of an aerial mail service after tho war. Application is being made to the Government for permission to carry the first aerial mail to places mentioned, and to ksuo a special stamp.

The Parliamentary Representation (Ex peditionary Forces) Adjustment Bill, which , was introduced into the House last week, . is a simple measure to provide for the ! reckoning of the soldiens absent on active _ servico in the population of this country . for the purpose of defining the electoral boundaries—a task which must soon be undertaken by the Boundary Commissioners. It provides that the Minister of Defenoa shall give a certificate showing, as on October 15, 1915—tho date of the census— the number ol men absent on service and the number in camp. In defining tho population these men are to be allocated proportionately by the Commissioners in such manner as they think fit to the urban and rural districts and to the several electoral districts. Mr Witty declared in the House last evening that numbers of rhe First Division had been medically rejected who should not have been, ajid ho contended that they should be re-examined by independent doctors. He asked the Government what it was going to do with these men. Sir Jos. Allen replied that 500 were going mto camp . next month. Mr Witty- said the men rejected on account of flat feet could be utilised for the Mounted Rifles, and the men now used in that branch of the service transferred to tho infantry. On March 31 last the Public Trust Office held on account of wills and trust estates £2,475,153; intestate estates] £347,034; mental patients' estates, £217,544; convicts' estates, £2281; superannuation and civil service funds, £782,204; National Provident Fund, £119,650; sinking funds (Government and local bodies), £2,875,229; Maori Land Board Fund, £286,217; and under War Regulations Act, £169,739. The investments on March 31, 1917, included stocks, bonds, and debentures, £1,427,478 14s 2dmortgages, £5,918,250 6s 9d; advances to estates and accounts, £202,936 8s Id; and casfr and fixed deposits, £407,549 2s Bd. The assets of the department totalled £8,171,034 lis Ad. Somo months ago a lady residing some 30 miles distant from Now Plymouth wrote to a relative there to tho effc-ct that th» family intended visiting New Plymouth on a certain date, and that they would like to see her. When the visitors reached New Plymouth they were disappointed and annoyed, too, that their relative did not meet them, but the fact was that the letter had not reached its destination. It was- delivered only a few days ago, and it eeems to have been around the world? i n the mean- | time. The 'etter became secreted in tho folds of a newspaper, and it was only when this was opened at a base hospital in London that it was found and forthwith despatched on its return journey to New Zealand. A gentleman who participated in a pig hunting expedit.on last week in the unfrequented part of Powder Creek Valley, near the Silvcrstream, writes to us stating that he was very interested in tho number of native birds that were to be seen in -the district. On one g la nt kowhai tree in full bloom he saw a great number of tuis and bell birds, which made the woods resound with their glad notes. The native robin, so numerous a few years ago, seemed to have disappeared. On tho sunny faces were to be seen numbers of native pigeons, and it must be caaise for gratification, the writer states, to all lovers of these birds, which have been there for very many years, that the woods in the valley havo been proclaimed a sanctuary by tho Dunedin City : Council and tho Acclimatisation Society, i whoso ranger exercises duo vigitonoa. i

In reply to inquiries made by the Women's Patriotic Committee of Knox Church, the authorities advise that Christinas gifts for our soldiers should take tho form of money. An opportunity 'will bo given to-night at the annual meeting of the congregation for sending gifts. The classification of the Second Division does not provide for those men" who do not properly discharge tfyeir Liabilities to their families. Mr Parr, referring in the House of Representatives to these men, as ted the Minister of Defence whether, im view of tho fact that, according to tho Government Statistician, there were a number of married men in New Zealand registered ,n the Second Division who did not live with or in any way support their wives and families, he would take steps to have these men ; who completely neglect their responsibilities classified on the same level or grade as members of the First Division. Sir James Allen replied: "The question of amending ..the classification of the Second Division of the Reserve in ordei to place the married men referred to in Class A, which will be the .first class of the Second Division to be called up for service, is now under consideration. They could, not be transferred to the First Division without an amendment of tho Military Service Act. I would point out however, that the Government Statistician has no knowledge of the Second Division reservists who come within this category, and if tho classification is amended as suggested above ho will have to rely on information furnished to him by the men concerned or by local recruiting committees in order to classify them." ——o- . .„) Vo *} a Y e received £2 from "Edith" (Warepa) for Dr Barnardo's Homes' Fund.
