MEASLES OUTBREAK
MILD CASES AT BURNHAM CAMP NO FURTHER DELAY LIKELY. IN CALLING UP FOURTH REINFORCEMENTS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. An outbreak of mild German measles has been reported officially at the Burnham mobilisation camp. A few cases have occurred among Territorial units, but a majority of the cases, which do not exceed 20, have been reported in the district school for noncommissioned officers. It is not anticipated that the infection will cause a further suspension in the calling up of the Fourth Reinforcements of the Expeditionary Force, and it was stated today that mobilisation would proceed on October 2. It is not proposed to evacuate patients from the camp so long as requirements can be met by the accommodation available at the camp hospital.
