MEDICAL ORDERLIES.
, AND THEIR DISCHARGE. Wellington, This day. Owing to the necessity of having a fully qualified staff of medical: orderlies on duty in the®Dominion to deal with the thousands of sick and wounded who are being returned to Now Zealand this year, the Medical Department of the New Zealand forces find it to grant discharges to men at present employed in the military hospitals. The farmer employers of thesCMneu arc earnestly requested, both on the score of their duty to their country and to the men who have fought, and also as a duty to those men who arc still able to render very valuable service •to the sick and wounded, to preserve place for those men whom the military cannot discharge at present. Every offerwill be made to discharge the medio. .l orderlies as soon as possible, and a number of urgent cases connected with essential occupations have already received consideration, but it must be evident to all that the first consideration : is the care and attention, of . the returning invalids, and that this duty cannot be adequately done except by men who have been specially trained for the work.
