NO LONGER USEFUL.

SOLDIER PAIMR FUNERAL ZEALAND DEMONSTRATION, London, Feb 6 Wounded New Zealanders at Walton intervened at the fnneral of a veteran soldier who died at Ghertsey Workhouse and was receiving a pauper’s burial. The soldier fought in the Zulu war and the Egyptian campaign. The New Zealanders met the coffin, threw a Union Jack over it, and formed a bearer party and proceeded to the cemetery, where an Anzac bugler sounded the Last Post at the graveside. THE GRAVES ON ANZAO London, February 6. Mr Peacock, in a message from Chanak, again urges that the Australians should control tie Anzac graves area and immediately replace the Imperial Commission whose methods are cumbersome and perfunctory, and, in some respects, grotesque. He thinks the Turkish Government should be induced to give Australia a permanent possession of the field of Anzac.
