PRAISE FOR OUR MEN
"NEW ZEALAND MOTHERS MAY HOLD THEIR HEADS HIGH." Very high praise is given to tho New Zealand fighting man, by Brigadier-Gen-eral Johnston in a letter from Gallipoli. after the August advance. "My brigade was magnificent," he writes. "New Zealand mothers may hold their heads high. Indeed, we may all be very proud of >our countrymen. Thank God, I am fighting with them. With the Mounted Rifles we make tho best brigades on the Peninsula. The men are fine and well trained, yards ahead of some others. It is the right policy to Irain them in New Zealand, and only to send them on to us when they are fit to go into the ranks. The Maoris who have now been handed over to me are good fighters, hard workers, and also are happy and contented."
