THE SECOND DIVISION
WHAT TO.DO WITH OLDER MEN?
Tlio Government is wailing for cabled advice from General Richardson in England before-finally adopting proposals for the reclassification of the. Second Division ol' the Expeditionary Force Reserve. Ouo of the proposals in the now scheme is that the older men' in the Reserve be not taken at once, but be postponed at least until niosl, if not all, of the til men havo been sent. Reports, most, if not all, unofficial, havo come- to New Zealand that the.older men in our drafts are not considered good enough for France, and are not sent there. Definite information on this point is desired by the Government, and on the advice action will be taken. If the advice is that men over forty-one are not good enough, then the men over forty-ono will have to bo put into a special late class, or perhaps into several classes, ft may be that the reply Will bo that all that is necessary is a. stiffening of the medical examination for older men. and if so the Government will gladly adopt, this plan.
