NEW DEFENCE SCHEME
MORE IMPERIAL OFFICERS WANTED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The Prime Minister (Sir Joseph Wayd) informed a New Zealand Times representative to-day that owing to the impossibility of finding a sufficient number of trained officers in the country to give the new compulsory military training a fair start, the Government has asked for the services of a few Imperial officers for a limited period. These officers are to fill the gap until the first batch of a similar number of cadets now going to the Military College in Australia have graduated and are available for work in New Zealand. The Imperial officers services will be required for three years, and at the expiration of that period their places will be taken by selected royal officers who by that time, it is hoped, will be sufficiently trained.
