MAJOR-GENERAL CHAYTOR.

ON LESSONS OP THE WAR. BY IKLEGRAPn. —OWN CORHESrONWSNI. ■WELLINGTON, Dec. 3. Speaking at tbo New Zealand Club to-day, Major-General Sir Edward Chaytor asked the people of New Zealand to help the men to settle ’down. They deserved every help that could be given them. Not only had they been good fighters, but wherever they had been they had lived as men should. Never had' he received a complaint ns to their behaviour. The world, even now that the war was over, did not seem settled and he thought wc should make certain that wo did not drop again into the horrors of the past five years. Whatever was done wo must bo prepared to defend our rights and to do that efficiency was essential. The efficiency of the people in New Zealand had kept the New Zealand units up to strength and that was as it should be.

■Without touching on politics be wished to say that ho did hope that in the Empire there would soon ho one Supreme Council that would manage all the fighting forces of tho Empire, whether on sea or land. That was one of the lessons of the war that should not be forgotten.
