HIGH PRAISE.
FOR NEW ZEALAND TROOPS.
His Excellency the Governor has received from the Secretary of State for the Colonies a cablegram which will be received with great satisfaction throughout the Dominion. The Hon. J. Allen, Minister of Defence, informed a Post representative yesterday that the cablegram was to the effect that the Array Council has intimated that the training of the New Zealand Forces has proved uniformly satisfactory, while their discipline, efficiency, zeal, powers of endurance, intelligence, and general aptitude for warfare, as exemplified in several most arduous opera: tions, has been beyond praise, and has enabled them to render most conspicuous services to the common cause. The Army Council is confident that future demands on the manhood of New Zealand will be ■ met by the provision of forces of no less military value. “ This,” added the Minister, “ proves that our system of recruiting and training men and bringing them into camp at definite periods for instruction, has been founded on right lines and properly carried out, and I need say no more than this, that it has earned the commendation of the Army Council, the highest British military authority.”
