Hughes, stated that the Commonwealth Government had entered into a contract with the Imperial Government for the supply of rabbits for the British forces, and had therefore requested the various State Departments to co-operate with the Commonwealth in regard to the matter. Rabbits were no / longer a pest to be destroyed at all Ik hazards, but a means of finding cmploy- ■ ment for a number of persons, and a >6ourcc of wealth to the community. According to a letter received in Wellington from a New Zealand .soldier with the Desert Column in Egypt the “niggers” there arc great workers in respect to such jobe as engineering, sapping, etc. Thousands of natives arc employed and get about seven piastres t;' day (about Is 6d).. They live in holy dread of the Taubcs, however, At the sight of on© hovering overhead they become paniostricken, and instead of (separating, flock together like sheep. “The Taubes are easily picked out by the ■ cross under the planes,” states riter, “our machines have the rc.d , and blue rings under them. ’ The rs know the difference a long way They go for their lives, and you ee some of them waving a bit of t© flag.”
