Instructions received from headquarters regarding soldiers' parcels are: 1. Parcels must not weigh more than three pounds apiece. 2. A list of contents must be given with each parcel. 3. If packed in tins they must not be soldered down. 4. Parcels must be tightly packed, strongly tied up, and covered with good strong calico, on which the full address must be plainly written. For insurance 1s is charged for each parcel sent. Owing to rough weather at the Dardanelles and transport to the trenches, it is always advisable to pack soldier's parcels in tins.

The residents of Dungog are presenting a machine gun to the military authorities. This is the first presentation of its kind made in Australia. Mr W.J. Brown, who is closely associated with the movement for raising the funds for the gun, and with whom the idea originated, has worked hard to achieve success. The necessary money, £120, is now practically raised, and the gun is to be made at Walsh Island.

The scheme for the enlistment of the 50,000 troops required for the new force which Australia intends to send to the assistance of the Allies, in whichever of the theatres of war their presence may be considered desirable, is gradually being put into a fairly reasonable form. The terms in which the proposals were first issued were such as to cause much dissatisfaction. Local committees were to interview men who did not agree to enlist, and apparently to reason with them, and finally to send their refusals to the War Committee. The matter was practically left to the tact of the members of the local committees, which might easily be overcome by their desire to ensure a large and speedy response to the nation's call. This, as we pointed out before, if it does not amount to conscription in a legal sense, is really a form of moral conscription. There is little doubt but what the majority of our young men are prepared to give the desired answer. Many are already preparing to make very great sacrifices in order to serve their country.

A Turkish communique admits that there has been naval activity in the Dardanelles by the Allies, and that vigorous attacks have been launched by the British against the Turkish centre and left.
