DEMOBILISATION
THK CAMPS EMPTYING. More men were discharged from (he camps yesterday, ami the process of demobilisation will continue daily. But progress cannot become rapid until the influenza epidemic has subsided and tho transport services have Wh renewed. The reduced ferry service makes it iliipossiblo' at present to send away more than about 350 southern men per week. In the meantime men who'have-special claims to early discharge, on account of domestic, business, or industrial calls, arc being released promptly. When Iho normal transport facilities iire available the camp authorities expect lo be able to discharge 8(10 men daily, 500 from I-'eather.-:ton and 300 from Trentham. At this rate the camps could be emptied of all except the camp staff within a fortnight. The rate of discharge is proof of excellent organisation, since there is much work to be done in connection with each man. The men hw to be examined by medical officers and dentists, kils have to be checked, poybooks made up, and railway passes and steamer warrants issued.
