SOLDIERS GRAVES.

The design for the lieadstone that is to be erected over the graves of New Zealand soldiers who died during the war has been approved by Cabinet. ine High Commissioner inspected some headstones after his arrival in Great Britain, and it is on his recommendation that Cabinet has reached a decision. The approved headstone is a cross 30in high by 15in wide. The circle at the centre contains the inscription "New Zealand," surmounted by a fem leaf. The name, rank, and regiment of the soldier will be inscrib. ed on the cross. The High Commissioner is sending a specimen of the cross to New Zealand. A dra.ft design that has been received suggest that provision will be made for the inscription to be provided by the relatives; but this point is not quite clear yet.
