SOLDIERS' GRIEVANCES.

ALLEGED HARSH TREATMENT IN SANATORIUM. (Per Press Association). HAMILTON, This clay. As a result of what they considered unreasonable treatment at the Waikato sanatorium, seven returned soldiers left the institution. The administration of the institution, they alleged, was so severe that life became almost unbearable. Games were largely prohibited, and cards, which the men were used to, were seized, although there was no gambling. The climax was reached when one of the soldiers, for walking with a lady in the grounds, was practically placed in solitary confinement. As the men’s complaints met with no redress—they stated they were either ignored or received with abuse —they were forced to take other steps to meet the arbitrary treatment they were subjected to, and in consequence they left the institution. On arrival at Cambridge they communicated with Major Nortlicroft, O.C. group, and supplied him with a statement of their grievances. Major Nortlicroft arranged for the men to go to the Waikato Hospital, where they still remain.
