MEDICALLY UNFIT.
NUMBERS STEADILY DECREASING, By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, March X The following is an extract from a letter just received from the DeputyDirector of Medical Services, New Zealand Expeditionary Force, dated London, January 30:— "It is gratifying to know that the number of medically unfit arriving from New Zealand is steadily decreasing a»d that, with the more stringent examination before embarking, this number will be reduced to a minimum. The high standard of medical fitness insisted on for all troops in France necessitates extreme care and thoroughness on tho part of the mdeical officers. Formerly many of the rejections on arrival from overseas were from dental causes, but, owing to the splendid work of the staff, men are now going forward dentally as well as physically lit."
