An important announcement in regard to the shipping shortage was made by the Hon. D. H. Guthrie (Minister in Charge of Imperial Supplies) in Wellington last week. “The recent information received from our leaders at Home,” he said, “seems to indicate a further improvement in regard to shipping. We will probably have loading in New Zealand between now and the end of the year at least eighteen steamers, of full average capacity.” « • * * The Taranaki members of Parliament have a splendid record in connection with the war. Messrs. Okey and Jennings have each given two sons, who have laid down their lives in the Empire’s cause; Captain Hine, M.P. for Stratford, is again at the front, after being severely wounded; Mr. G. V. Pearce, M.P., has an only son at the front, who has also been wounded, whilst the remaining member, Mr. C. A. Wilkinson, has just had the pleasure of welcoming his son home with the coveted Military Cross to his credit, as well as the Belgian Croix de Guerre.
