THE SCHEME OF FURLOUGH. The details of the proposal to bring a , , portion of the Main Body men back to New Zealand on Vurlongh have not yet been settled. "The Minister of Defence i& incomniunication with the Officer Coniiiianding the New Zealand Division. The Minister has stated already that all the-Main Body men now in Egypt will be given the opportunity to come back on furlough. The number of these men probably does hot- exceed 150. The number of Main Body men in France andEngland is not believed to exceed 2500, and the Minister's proposal is that one half of these shall have fjirlougb this year.' Some of the men will.Jie in hospital, and others may prefer, to stay at the front. It is likely also.that a. section ofUhe men. will prefer to have furlough in England. It is, probable that considerably more than half of the men who wish to lake the holiday in New Zealam! will be able to get the leave. The Minister of Defence stated last night that a man who had left with the Samoan Force and siibseqently entered a reinforcement without' taking leave in New Zealand would count as a Mam Body member.
