MILITARY CAMPS.
NO EXCESSIVE SICKNESS AT TRENTHAM. By Telegraph.—Special to Daily News. Wellington, last Night. "There is no excuse for alarm at all," said the Defence Minister (Hon. J. Allen), yesterday, in referring to sickness at Trentham camp. "The list of hospital admissions is 'swelled because every man who has a cold is sent to hospital. He may be out again in two or three day. The measles cases are not increasing much. Only about a dozen cases are under treatment. There is a good deal of influenza, but it is of a very mild character." The Defence Minister mentioned that about two hundred workmen were employed at Tauherenikau, where the second permanent camp is being established. Probably the camp would not be completed by the time it was required for use, in October, and some of the men would have to go into tents for a few weeks. The administrative buildings and stores, the dining-hall, the roads and drains, and some of the huts would, however, be completed.
