THE DOMINION'S PART.
MAORILANDERS RESTING. AN APPROPRIATE SUGGFSTION. By Telegraph.—Press Association, Wellington, Last Night. This afternoon, Hon| Jas. Allen said that there had been a considerable amount of anxiety in the Dominion as to our soldiers at Gallipoli, and their health after their long and trying service, especially as some of the men had been there from the start. He was glad to be able to relieve that anxiety. He had communicated with the General Commanding, and had just received a reply to the effect that the New Zcalanders had been resting since September 15 and 16 up till the time the message was despatched. The men had been given this time to recuperate. A private cable message from the Overseas Club (London) conveys a suggestion which the executive hopes should appeal to the people of New Zealand. It is urged that cabbage trees should be provided to mark the graves of New Zealauders on Gallipoli Peninsula. This hardy plant, wtnen has a New Zealand individuality, should be able to establish itself # on the hillsides where the soldiers ot these islands have fought. The cabbage tree has proved that it will make headway on hard ground, and without shelter, in very bleak situations.
