A prominent American business man recently received a letter from a relative m Scotland, m course of which the latter said : — *'Two enemy submarines were cleverly destroyed the other day — one at Peterhead and the other near Aberdeen. At Peterhead an innocent-look-ing trawler, m reality a Government gunboat, left the harbor and was soon spotted and held up by a submarine. The gunboat did not give the submarine time to approach, but opened fire at once, smashing the periscope with the jirst shot, whereupon her crew rushed ijpon the deck. The second shot destroyed the conning tower, and down she went- All the officers and crew were rescued, and. curiously enough, one of the rescued men turned out to be a German wh<> for several years prior to the outbreak of war had been engaged m the fish trade at Peterhead. In the Aberdeen fight a British submarine, submerged, followed m the wake of some trawlers as they put to sea. When the trawlers were approached by the German submarine, they diverted, their oourse a. little. The British 'sub' then came to the surface, and with the first shot nearly split the German boat m two. All of tlie crew and offioers of the German boat, with the exception of .three, were drowned.*

When the war broke out last year Dr. Batchelor volunteered for service, and went to Egypt attached as X-ray expert to the Amoulanco Corps m Cairo. He had to do the X-ray work for the NewZealand troops, and.in addition M undertook a large amount of duty m regard tw the health of tho troops. He met with astonishing success m that direction, the outcome of his efforts being that disease amongst the New Zealanders was very materially decreased. Under the pressure of his manifold duties m hot weather the doctor's health gave way. He suffered very much from pains m * the back, and he was invalided by b'r Frederick Treves, on account of some kind of rheumatic condition of the vertebral joints. He offered to come back by t' T Villochra, and attend to -a number oi • i-ious cases on the voyage, but

the Admij^ilty arrangements about that ship were made, and it was as well, for /the doctor's own sake, that he was al"*T**Jowed to return quietly by a P. and O. iiner. After his return to the Dominion his services were made use of iv a consulting capacity at the Trentham camp, j and his experience m the Egypt camps was thus turned to account, many of the improvements which he^ counselled leing carried out. About 'a week ago he received from headquarters the copy of a letter from General expressing appreciation of his services m Egypt, and recommending him for appointment as Brevet-Colonel, a commission which was accordingly bestowed. * A rather sensational arrest, not of an individual, but of £260 m gold, was made m Wellington last week, just an hour before the Moeraki left for Sydney. An elderly Chinese was calmly walking along the deck of the vessel when a police officer tapped him on the shoulder with the intimation that he "wanted him." "Wha' for?" enquired the Celestial. "You know, , all right," was the reply, and it was a considerably alarmed Chinaman that was escorted to where an innocent-looking tin trunk and a wooden box lay m another part of the vessel. The police officer, the Chinaman, an dthe property were shortly m the tolls office, where, on being searched, a cash box was unearthed from the bottom of the tin trunk . Tlie cash-box contained £260 m gold, and apparently the Chinaman, unheeding the many warnings, was about jto smuggle this away to the Flowery Land. , T'he gold was taken, to tbe police station, 'while the Chinese departed m the company of a sympathetic countryman. Tlio seizure was made under* the Banking Act Amendment of 1914, which prohibits the export of gold to foreign countries. The Chinese, whose departure. for Sydney was indefinitely postponed, has been a resident of the Dominion for the past 48 years.
