ABOLITION OP VIVISECTION. London, May C. The House of Commons read for the second time a private Bill compelling the use of an anaesthetic in all operations on animals, including docking. It also abolishes vivisection. The Government has accepted the principles of the Bill, but will suggest amendments in com-mittee.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
DEMOBILISATION OF NEW ZEALANDERS. .', London, May 6. Official: As regards demobilisation New Zealand notably occupies the best position among the Dominions respecting the percentage of troops returned or afloat, and present circumstances suggest the maintenance of that condition, as 13 ships are leaving England for New Zealand between now and the first week in June. This result is very satisfactory, in view of the fact that earlier in the year strikes in various English ports held up shipping for about six weeks, causing serious congestion in the export of New Zealand produce from the cold stores. All things considered, the Dominion has gained a good share of available shipping and the position is now generally satisfactory.
