J THE SUPPLY OF HIS MUSCLK-HAISER FLOUR AND STANDARD OATJIEAL AND ROLLED O-VTS AVITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THK WHEAT CONTROLLER, AND HE HAS REMINDED HIM OK WHAT ttENEHAL FOCU SAID TO AMERICA, '•HURRY, HURRY." Extract from Sir Thomas Mackenzie's speech at a patriotic rally at the Town Hall, Leeds, July 10:"New Zealand had sent 110;000 soldiers out of a million inhabitants, but he confessed the strain on the man-power and resources of tho Dominion wns now beginning to toll. New Zealand, however, could supply a superabundance of foodstuffs and raw material, while America— thank God for America—had men in plonty willing to so. It was sound policy to accept men from America and foodstuffs from New Zealand." (By Telegraph-P.res3 Association.) WELLINGTON, Mondav 15-7-18. Eeferenco to tho published report of some remarks by the High Commissioner in London to the effect that the Dominion's man-power was diminishing and hinting at the possibility of the Americans taking the* place of tho New Zealanders, was mado by Sir James Alien to-night. • The Dominion, he said, had entered the campaign with the intention of seeing it through, and he believed the people ot New Zealand were still determined to do so. He believed the men at the front wished to fight the matter out, and intended playing their port to tho end. There was a great strain upon New Zealand's man-power and resources, but, like our Allies, we were prepared to meet those strains and to do and give all we could in this fight far freedom. We were "lad to see the Americans coming in, and we hoped that they would como in such numbers that victory would be certain. So far as he was concerned he considered himself pledged absolutely to keep the New Zealand Division up to strength as long as he had man-power to do it. I have again spoken. AUCKLAND.
