WAR PFjNSIONS. The outstanding incident of the period covered by this report was the placing of the administration of the War Pensions Act, which received the Governor's consent on the 4th August, 1915, under the control of the Department. The adjudication of claims thereunder is in the hands of a Board of three members, whose secretary is the chief administrative officer of the Department. The various Registrars of Pensions throughout the Dominion, are the medium through which claims for pension are lodged, and any investigation necessary is conducted at Head Office, the records of the Defence Department being largely used in connection therewith. The Board's meetings are mostly held in Wellington, four and often five evening sittings being held weekly. It is recognized, however, that in a large number of soldiers' claims a true appraisement of the permanent disability suffered by the applicant can only be determined by personal interview, and periodical visits are accordingly paid to different parts of the Dominion with the view to obtaining first-hand information before the permanency or otherwise of the pension is determined. The following summary relates to the total claims lodged :—

Officers. Men. Total. Total casualties by death to 31st March, 1917 .. 296 6,081 6,377 Total discharges from Forces to 31st March, 1917 1.90 7,353 7,543
