THE AUSSIES.
GET OUT OF HAND.
STAID PEOPLE JOLTED.
An elderly lady, writing from England by a recent mail, to her sister in New Zealand, says, inter alia: —I see, "by the way, that the New Zealand troops are being tremendously praised just now for their share in the war, and are said to be far and away the best behaved soldiers, so different from the Australians and Canadians, especially •the former. Only last week a number of Australians held up, a short distance out of Glasgow, a train full of people going to London. The passengers were all sent adrift, and the Australians got into the train, themselves, because they •wished to reach London in time for a Jboat home. "When H was at Salisbury, three years ago, he told us that the Australians did the same thing several times, and were altogether • very .■troublesome, but the incidents were not -■allowed to get into the newspapers. I
iope they will soon be allowed to leave
this country, but, owing to the shortage «fc of ships, it must be some time yet be.fore we can get rid of them all.
