REDUCING REINFORCEMENTS.
WELLINGTON, Sept 10. The mobilisation of another draft of the Second Division has set certain people talking again of a reduction of the Dominion's monthly reinforcements. Some of them even urge thai now America is pouring her soldiers into France by their hundreds of thousands it is utterly unnecessary, and even worse, for New Zealand to continue depleting herself of the manpower of which she stands so much in need. It is- a comparatively small minority, as far as can be gathered, that holds this view, but it is a fairly noisy one, and its protests, which do not usually emanate from the memmers of the Second Division themselves, are reaching the ears of the Minister of Defence.' Sir James Allen, however, while not unmindful or the sacrifices that are being mace, holds firmly to the view that the Do minion mus discharge Its full obligations to the Mother Country, and that its task will be done only wnen the war is over.
