WAR MEMORIAL UNVEILED.
ADDRESS BY LORD JELLICOE. AUCKLAND, January 13. The War Memorial erected by the residents of the Howic-k district was unveiled by the Governor-General this afternoon. In the course of an address Lord Jellicoe said that on such an occasion, while our hearts were full of sympathy for those who had lost their loved ones, we were also full of admiration for the work the dead had done, for the manner in which they had responded to the call of the weak, and the determination with which they undertook their memorable task. The district of Ilowick, in common with the dominion as a whole, had made a great contribution to the call of King and Empire. New Zealand had ever been famed for its loyalty, and the response it had made showed how strong was the spirit of loyalty to King and Empire, and the determination to uphold all that the British Empire held dear.
