Jones, to-day. "After consultation with the Director-General of Health, Dr. M. H. Watt, and the Director of Army Medical Services, Colonel F. T. Bowerbank, it has now been decided to proceed with the programme of concentrating men in the respective mobilisation camps' and arrangements are in hand for the necessary movements of troops to begin on October 2." Although a further outbreak of measles is not regarded as likely, a recrudescence might necessitate a further postponement of the concentration of_ these reinforcements.
