Headquarters, describes the departure of the first batch of 700 of the 7000 Anzacs who, under tho new scheme, are being given six niont&s' lenve to visit Australia. The scene wa3 one of boisterous enthusiasm. Practically every man entitled to leave accepted, but a few of the officers declined, eaying thnt thoy had been in from the first and would not be satisfied if.they did not sec- tho end. A proportion of the men wore so impressed with the recent!progress of events, coupled with tho -signs of German demoralisation, that they are- convinced they will not again be needed. GenOral Birdwood and the men's comrades, awaiting their next battle, took an nßenting farewell of the party.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
