NEW ZEALAND OFFICERS.
SUGGESTION TO INDIA. (TROM OUR OWN COaRESPOKDJHTT.) LONDON, September 24. The editor of "Truth" has received a long and interesting letter on a question arising out, of a suggestion in his paper about the chances of Australian officers who aspire to join the Indian Army or its Reserve of Officers. The letter refers, not to Australians but to New Zealauders, especially to those trained at the A.E.M. College at Duntroon. According to the information given, more young New Zealanders are trained at Duntroon than are needed to fill vacancies in the New Zealand Permanent Forces. Some of these have been given commissions in the British Army or the Indian Army, and all have done extremely well. New Zealanders, says "Truth," no longer go to Australia to learn soldiering, and the editor suggests to the Indian Government that it would be worth while finding out whether they would come to India for the purpose, and on what terms.
