DEN!AL jBY THE PRBMIER. & h mom Juiyd^ e oP chafyglan of the. from'.^ellingJion,,to-day as follows:—'A,rumour f.appeaijS to have recently "gamed currency in various portions of. the Dominion that no more . men will be required for the Expeditionary Force after the 16th Reinforcements leaves New Zealand. There is absolutely no truth in this, report, nor has any information come to the knowledge of the Recruiting Board to justify; any person giving expression••, to such an opinion. The circulation of a statement of this kind is apt'to be mOst prejudicial to. recruiting, and therefore I wish as Chairman of the Board to give it the fullest,and, wid* est refutation. .So far from -the 1 time having arrived when we can slacken our efforts, we ;are now at a stage of the great crisis when it is more than ever essential that our forces at the J; front should: be maintained at full strength. All indications paint to our ; enemies haying, attained ftheir maximum: effort, and now; is the time when our own armies and reserves .of men must be constantly strengthened and renewed in order that the signal Al-; lied successes of the past fortnight may be driven home to final victory. Every man of New Zealand who is free to go is wanted.
