THE REINFORCEMENTS.

NO SLACKENING OF EFFORT. Tlio recent announcement that the mobilisation of men already posted to reinforcement drafts was to be set back one month seems to have been interpreted in some quarters as an indication that the turn of the tide, of war had slackened the demand for reinforcements (says The Dominion). The postponement was made possible by the. fact that the number of men in the iraminj; camps was in excess of immediate requirements, but it does not, follow that all the class (! men. and perhaps the class T) men also, will i>ot be required to mobilise in their turns. It was stated officially recently that the casualties of (he New Zealand Division had numbered <i!)0(). Since then the division bus been engaged again in attackinji and capiurinjr important Merman positions. The cablejirams have indicated that Die Allied Mi«h Command does not intend to stay its offensive during the winter months. This may mean mice heavy ughting for the New Zealand Division during the months immediately ahead. The New Zealand reserves were lavpe at the commencement of the Allied offensive, and they are still substantial; but if iighlinjj continues for the next si;; months on the present scale there will be need for the reinforcements that are within reach.. Men who have already been posted to drafts certainly .ought not to count* upon any further postponement of mobilisation. .
