IMPERIAL OFFICERS FOR NEW ZEALAND.
WELLINGTON, Last' Night.
The Prime Minister (Sir Joseph Ward) informed a reporter to-day, that owing to the impossibility of finding a sufficient number of trained officers in the country to ; give the new compulsory military training scheme a fair\start, the Government has asked for the' services of a few Imperial officers i'or a limited period. These officers are to fill the gap . until the first batch of a similar number of cadets, now going to the military college in Australia, have' graduated* and .'are available in New Zealand. The Imperial officers' services will be required for three years and at the expiration of that period their places will be taken by selected local officers, who by that time, it is hoped, will be sufficiently trained to do so efficiently.
