' ''Just after the Machaive railway collision occurred the New ZeaTanderswere arguing that it was the driver's fault for coming through. The poor driver was lying on the line and heard them? He could not see, as he had his eyes and nose knocked into a' V-shape, but he jumped up and pulled out his certificate given him to show that the station-master had said the line waa clear. Then he fainted away." A positively amaiing and well-nigh incredible account ia given by a correspondent of the Spectator of the Vay in which guns are supplied to Volunteers by the War Office. A certain Volunteer Corps applied to be provided with a machine-gun section. After considerable time had been spent in correspondence, permission to have the gun was granted. The corps naturally assumed that nothing then remained to be done, and' that the gun would be sent them after the ordinary official delay. But it didn't know its War Office. The t»tt» minding officer was referred to a book of regulations, from which it appeared "that a machine-gun has about 320 parts"; and he was told "to indent for each one o fthose parts," making sure to ask. for two wheels, one to go on each side, and so on. These childish regulations having been duly complied with, the corps waa informed that "the gun is now being sent you." After six days a small parcel anved, containing a conple of Thaaciar a day br two a .spanner turned.. up; ; fot-lowed-after a further delay by a tin of J.grease, "accompanied by printed regulations declaring: that whatever happened it must not be used in tropical climates." Useful information for Volunteers. Up to the- time of the Spectator's correspondent's writing nothing more of the machine-gun had reached the corps except a tin to put the grease in.
