URL9: Major CARROLL, of Queensland, the Minister states, will probably be inquired into by a Parliamentary Committee. CARROLL left Queensland for South Africa as a captain, served there as a major, and claimed the right to retain the rank of major on his return. General HUTTON has retired him, and in Senator DAWSON's opinion, a Departmental inquiry is out of the question, as it might result in a censure on the Federal Commandant.
