MEETING THE STRAIN.
ON DOMINION'S MAN-POWER. - (By Telegraph—Press Association.) \ WELLINGTON, Monday. Eeference to the published report of gome remarks by the High Commissioner in London to the effect that the Dominion's man power was diminishing, and hinting at the possibility of the Americans taking the place of the New Zealanders, was made by Sir James Allen to-night. The Dominion, he said, had entered the campaign with the intention of seeing it through and he believed the people of \ew Zealand were still determined to do so. He believed the men at the front wished to fight the matter out and intended playing their part to the end. There was a great strain upon New Zealand's man-power and resources, but. like our allies, we were prepared to meet those strains and to do and give all we could in this fight for freedom. We were glad to see the Americans coming in, and we hoped that they would come in' such numbers that victory would be certain. So far as he was concerned he considered himself pledged absolutely to keep the New Zealand Division up to strength, as long as he had man-power to do it.
