EASTER LEAVE.
DR THACKER’S PROTEST. Frew Association, DUNEDIN, March 13. Dr Thacker, M.P., has seat the following telegram to Sir Jas. Allen, respecting Easter leave:—“ Your reply most unsatisfactory. You are merely sidetracking the main issue, and giving preference to the civilian Easter- traffic, instead of to the soldiers. You are forcing three or four thousand relatives to go to Wellington at a cost of £lO or £ls each. One trip of the Maori is all that is necessary, which the Union Coy. could give free ns a mere bagatelle to discount its war profits. Please try again to Jet the men away on the Wednesday before Good Friday."
