Between August 9th, 1914, and November 16th, 1918, the total number •of men embarked and disembarked at Southampton including sick and wounded and prisoners of war, was 7,000,000. During the same period, 821,000 horses and mules, 14,000 guns and limbers, 110,000 vehicles and 3,500,000 tons of stores, supplies and ammunition were dealt with at the same port, while the ships handled numbered 15,P00. * « ♦ # In the Commonwealth military orders recently issued in Melbourne it is announced that a distinguishing colour patch has been approved for officers and other ranks of the A.I.F. who left Australia but who have been returned without being allotted a unit. The patch is a dark blue triangle, upon which is the letter R in white. 4c $ * 4c The Heckler Memorial Scholarship has been awarded to Jack Arrow Graham, a son of Captain John Graham, who was billed in action in France. The scholarship entitles the winner, who has been a pupil at the Pahiatua District High School, to two years at Wellington College. The scholarship was established in memory of Lance-Corporal William Heckler, of Mangamahoe, who died from wounds in the service of his country. “The Stewart Island tourist traffic is capable of considerable development, said the chairman of the Invercargill Harbour Board, “and although this is not the immediate concern of the board, any traffic which can be increased through the port must be of benefit. Invercargill should recognise that its best tourist asset is Stewart Island, and should do everything possible to assist in improving the service with the object of including the island in the southern itinerary and securing the passage through the town of a large number of those tourists who visit the lakes, and who at the present tiime travel via the Waimea line and miss the town altogether.” * * * * During Lord Jellicoe’s stay at Sydney in June and July the ships will pay visits to the principal ports in New Zealand, returning to Sydney in time to re-embark Lord Jellicoe about August 15. They will return to New Zealand with Lord Jellicoe, and leave again about October 1 for San Francisco (October 20), where Lord Jellicoe will probably disembark for Ottawa. In the earliest days of the New Year (1920) he will leave British Columbia for Honolulu. Thence the homeward journey will be via Yokohama, Hongkong, Singapore, Colombo, Mombasa, South Africa, St. Helena, Ascension Island, St. Vincent, to Plymouth, which should be reached in the second week of May next year. •
