(Received this day at 9.25. a.m.) \\ ELLINGTON. November 10.

The-New Zealand Returned Soldiers’ Association have received the following greetings from Earl Jellieoe: — ••The thoughts of all in the Empire on this, the tenth anniversary of the •signing of the Armistice will turn with gratitude to the men who brought victory to our arms in the Great A\ai, and perhaps most ol all to those who gave their lives in achieving victory, but all will. I hope, dwell upon one of the reasons which brought about that victory, and at the same time demonstrated to the world the unity of the British Empire. Who can forget the magnificent response made by the whole Empire to the call to arms. |.>„m all parts of the world men came. Britain’s sons and descendants of Britain’s sons to help the .Mother Country in her struggle to protect the weak and uphold the sanctity of a signed agreement. ' it is with ibis thought in my mind that I send warm greetings to New Zealand Returned Soldiers Association, j„ the belief that in the British Empire Service Leagues we have an organisation that will foster the sptnt of the brotherhood which was so strongly e\tdent in 1911. ’
