THE COUNTRY'S WAR EFFORT
A GRAND ACHIEVEMENT. , A report has been prepared by Colonel" Gibbon, Chief of tho General Staff, on New Zealand's war effort in the dispatch of men for service abroad. The report will be a very complete summary of the work of raising and training tho Main Body and the reinforcements, with statistics where they are needed. The paper is being printed, and it should for long be one of the most important documents in the New Zealand archives. One of the interesting facts which tho report will show is that this little country actually sent abroad for service i). 2 per cent, of its population—men, women, and children. This reokoning takes no account of the men in camps —abo.it 12,000 in all—when the armistice was signed. Counting these other men under arms the percentage would have been considerably over 10 per cent.
