"i A TURKISH REPORT. A Turkish communique says: AVe gained minor successes at Anafarta and Seddul Bahr. We repulsed two squadrons of cavalry, on September 22, on the Irak front. MAORIS SUFFERED BADLY. London, September 20. Three Maori officers were passengers by the Khyber from London. One, Captain Danient, states that" theMaori Contingent was cut up in the attacks of August 6 and 8, and the survivors are now incoporated in other units. STATEMENT BY THE MINISTER , OF DEFENCE. ' THE REPORT MISLEADING. Per Press Association. "Wellington, September 27. With reference to the above, the Hon,, James" Allen last 1 night stated that the message is misleading. K would be wrong, he said, to let the impression get abroad that the Maoris had been badly cut up. They suffered loss, but no' more than anybody else, and the casualty lists have all been published. A s to the point that they had been incorporated with other units, the faot was that they had been attached to the Infantry Brigade, but could still-be kept together as a Maori force. He received a cable from General Godley, which has already been published, in which he said that he had attached the Maoris to the Infantry Brigade reinforcements for the Maoris had been asked for and were being sent. The Maoris would be kept as two companies in the Infantry Brigade. ' ' •
