CURRENT COMMENT
Hates to See HAYES Go.

The News is sorry to have States For
ester Halves leave Vermont. We be-
lieve the state needs the services of such
man. There has been a good deal said
for him by the state papers. We also
believe that Gov Graham is headed right
in his recommendations, all in all. Per-
haps the governor is wrong in this case,
and there is an honest difference of opin-
ion about this. The News would like
to have seen Commissioner Halves re-
main, under the governors plans, and
see how it worked out. We do not be-
lieve that the state win be better served
in this or any other department by
changing continually. A good old-fash-
Toned get-together all around might
clear the air on many of the things
that are now confronting the governor

New Zealand Sends Its
Best Men to War Fronts

Sydney, Australia, June 22.-New
Zealand troops bound eventually for
the front were gathered in large
numbers in Sydney recently. The
streets were alive with them; stocky,
zsoldierly-looking youths whose uni
forms contrasted markedly with
those of Australian troops in that
they wore tunics very like in cut
those in use in the United States
zaimy and peaked Cow -puncher''
hats. Every arm of the Dominion
military service was represented.
THE maoris during a parade of the
troops through the city attracted
the particular attention of the on
lockers. The New Zealand Minister
for Agriculture, w. d. 5. Macdonald,
said to the troops. who were COM
posed of both volunteers and con-
scripts, and of the operation of the
compulsory service law in New Zea-
land:
Although the conscription sys-
tenn is in force men still have the
right to volunteer and it is always
found when men are called up that
more than half are volunteers. In
my own electorate they have never
had occasion for a draft. They have
always been able to find the quota
Through the volunteer system.
New Zealand does not make the
slightest distinction between it's vol
unteers and it's conscripts. To each
class precisely the same privileges
are accorded"
