NEW ZEALANDERS AT HOME

GENERAL GODLEY INSPECTS HOSPITALS. MEN WELL~ CARED FOR. By Telegraph.—Press Association. • Wellington, Last Night. In a letter to Hon. J. Allen, Gener< Godley states that when at Home, hi visited Hornchnrch, where there are a number of New Zealaudcrs in hospital; , and found everything going on very well. He went*to see the training es; tablishment on Salisbury 'Plain, ani found the men very comfortably locate* in huts. General Godley visited tna New Zealand hostel that was reeentljl established for men on furlough froii the front. For this purpose he stated that three corner houses have beeri taken in Russell Square, near to head! quarters, and the hostel should prove a! great boon to the men. ThisTh tb3 hostel for which the New Zealand Gov* eminent recently sent Home '£4ooo, The convalescent depot at Epsom wag also inspected by General Godley, wliof reports that he found it an excellent stitution. well managed by an Im3 perial officer, Colonel Kilkelly Some) huts had been aet apart at Epsom for) the New Zealander 9 solders, but General bodley states that there is some doubfl about our retaining them, as they mast all be wanted for the Canadians. M that case the New Zealanders will get] instead, a convalescent depot at Horn* church. i General Godley expresses the opfahW that small convalescent hoi es such art they had in Egypt are not necessary op desirable, as they will get much betteif result, by having their efforts concent trated and co-ordinated. Ho went overt the convalescent hospital at Brocito hurst, and thinks that with the two| hospitals—one at Walton and the othea at Brocklehurst—and the convalescent at Hornchurch, together with thai training establishment at Salisbury) Plain, there is every reason to believe) that the men will be well looked afterj and that the interests and co-ordinajf i tion of the force; will be well mail* tained by headquarters in London. ■ !V *
