OUR WOUNDED IN ENGLAND

SATISFACTORY ARRANGEMENTS. In speaking of the wounded New Zealanders in England, the Higli Commissioner, the Hon. Thomas Mackenzie, in a letter to the Hon. A. M. Myers, says: "Up to tlie present tlio difficulty has been to roach the men] because they are landed and distributed amongst many hospitals throughout tlio length and breadth of England, but I have now arranged with .tlio War Office to be informed as soon' as the men arrive, and I will send someone to meet them and attend 1 to their immediate requirements. We are arranging for a beautiful home to be used as an auxiliary hospital for New Zealandors. It is a lovely manor house situate on the banks of the Thames, 'with most charming surroundings. Major Bernard Myers is to have control. We shall then have all or nearly all the men under our eyes, and be able to attend to them much better. When the men get well there-are organisations to take them about in motor-cars or cn the river-or to entertain them to aftonioon tea. I was at Netley Hospital, near Southampton, this week, when some sixteen New Zea- ' landers arrived. I liad a chat with them, and with those who were already there. They were in great hoart, anxious to get well and back at the front."
