A PAPER FOR THE MAORI PEOPLE

When the Hui was held at Te Kapu, Wairoa, in aid of the Trust Fund for Maori Soldiers, an hour was set aside for the discussion of other matters. There was discussion of Te Kopara and other Maori papers. Some people expressed a desire similar to that of Hutu Paaka in his letter that the paper should be published weekly; they were cool towards the idea of monthly editions. If the Maori people agreed to enthusiastically support a paper and the whole country supported it, then it could be done.

WAR NEWS

The Western Front

In the last edition of Te Kopara (Number 53) it was said, The assumption is that now we will hear of a terrible battle on this front because Germany has been deploying its large forces to attack the Allies.’

What was spoken of has now happened and for nearly a week there has been fighting in all sections in this great war.
