MR. MASSEY AND SIR JOSEPH WARD.
BACK PROM THE FRONT. MR. MASSEY’S IMPRESSIONS. London, November 5. Mr Massey and Sir Joseph Ward have returned to London from the West Front. Mr Massey in a statement to the Australian Press Association remarked; — “We spent a full week in Franco looking into the conditions as they exist at the front, more particularly in regard to the New Zealand troops. The New Zealanders are in good heart, and are cheerfully conlident, but the weather and the aproach of winter make it almost impossible to continue operations on a large scale. At present there is naturally a great deal of discomfort but everything is being done to render the winter quarters as comfortable as possible. During the visit I had the opportunity of conferring with Sir Douglas Haig and other members of the General Staff. Whilst matters are going very well, no one whose opinion is worth having even suggests the possibility of the war ending for a considerable time.”
