CAMPS FULL OF MEN.
RECRUITING TO PROCEED. Wellington, June 12. The recruits for the 43rd Reinforcements will be concentrated next week. The drafts then in camp will be the 39th, 40th ; 41st, 4*2 nd and 43rd. and as three of the drafts will have been mobilised on the increased pcale the number of men in training in New Zealand will be larger than it has been for a long time past. The number of men being sent away, like the rate of reinforcement, is an official secret at the present time. There have been reports that recruits were being hurried away short-trained and that the camps would be "emptied" for the reception of the Class B men in September. But the numbering of the drafts in camp shows that the men—o> the vast majority of them —are receiving their full period of training in this country, and it is a fact still that owing to the shortage of shipping men are not getting away as fast as they are being taken into caftip. The position in this respect might change at any time, and the Defence Department is prepared to despatch reinforcements at the full increased rate directly shipping is available.
