When asked ZS they do in the Great War, only one answer i W sible: "We told lies and sold our souls." And yet it seems hat the National Hymn is "Nearer My Cod to Thee' !

My dear sir, we have no faults. We are IT Critic, wantea motto for the New Zealand Government.' no would suggest: .; - AUT MUDDLE AUT MORI. That might be interpreted: We will muddle or die Gulliver missed a lot by dying prematurely. What a "bhdys!" WaS UOt ° n th ° lrlp t 0 Sam ° a ™%tto F -H.—Wo thank you for your letter. For throo bis pennies we send you the paper post free. If you don't like it, leave it, old sport. But bear it in mind well, meditate on it morning, noon, and nigh"t-'"wo are not going to run a special Tablet for every person who sends us three pennies. We are frankly hopeless \\o are going on exactly on the present lines even it wo have to dispense with your distinguished patronage and your lordly, thruppence. A Happy Easter to you, anyhow. Y • •;. ;.vTu •* Gael -Sergeant O'Sullivan defended Casement when tried for Ins life. The Sergeant is a bitter anti-Sinn Fewer and a sturdy Castle-Hack. He was ?ecentl"

attacked by masked men, and we were told it - was . c another ;. Sinn Fein - outrage. So it was— mean another of the usual kind, made by press-liars. The 'Sergeant said-that although he had lib sympathy with Sinn Fein he felt bound to state that Sinn Fein had nothing to do with it. Don't forget that Judge Wakely recently said at Sligo that most of the crimes in Ireland are committed by ex-soldiers. BE BRITISH is the motto. . The first "I" ought to be a "U," of course. Coote, the leader of the Orange gang sent to America to oppose Sinn Fein, is a nice sort of bird. He was castigated by a magistrate a few years ago for . conspiring to drive a little Catholic girl from a position as school teacher. He is a fair" specimen of his class. No doubt, another of the Be British tvpe, and sure to be a Tenore Robusto when it comes to Nearer My God to Thee. Even the Protestant parsons in America have aimed at him the boot, and told him that bigots of his kidney were not welcome in the States. . Barnet IV.—Are you anything to Adrian IV.? The proper spelling of the name is "Micaela." See Carmen. Surveyor ran four furlongs with Torfreda in 45sec. Later he was just beaten over a mile, run in lmin. 37sec., by the Australian champion Cetigne. Michaela (we follow the mob) beat Surveyor. There are the data for one side of your dilemma. For the other: Amythas won a lot of races very easily, most of them were in very average class. Ho has done nothing to comparo with Surveyor's two races just mentioned. Now permit us to leave the conclusion to yourself.
