The Mountain Battery of the HK. S.R.GA was inspected by His Excell ency the officer Administering the Government at noon to-day. In the course of his inspection of the Battery, the members of which have recently returned from active service in the Near East, His Excellency paid special attention to those who have won de

corations in Palestine. There were

many men on parade who were ribbon of the 1914-15 star. Captain wearing ribbons, most displaying the F. L. Skilton, M.C., and Lieut E. Evenden, M.C., paraded with the Battery:

With H. E, who was accompanied by his A. D. C., Mr. P. P. J. Wode- house," were H. E. the General Officer Commanding the Troops, Major General Ventris and Major L. Cassell. Others present included Colonel Passby and Captain and Adjutant H. Brewster, R.GA.

350 and 860 a month house allow. ance. It seems extraordinary but 'tis true, the British Government actually squeezes 3 in the pound from the European workers in the Dockyard out of their house and; colonial aliowances. As the Ad- miralty reckers the dollar at the current rate it can readily be seen that they take back about 15 per cest of allowances given for specific purposes. What makes it forse is that, the Military do not pay Income Tax on corresponding allowances. it is a bit of conspicuous meanness.

If the Admiral C. in C. or Com-1 inodore, or "whoever is responsible, has not already done his best to re move this anomaly, which is a real unjustice, perhaps he will do so now the facts are publicly brought to notice. In an article to-day the China Mail brings to light that some of the Dockyard employees have had no War Bonus or increase of pay since the war, or for many years for that matter. These raen seem to have ample cause for their grievances.
