THE CAMPS
SATISFACTORY CONDITIONS. Though the prospect of entering camp in the prevailing winter weather may not appeal to the men of the 32nd Reinforcements, who are to mobilise this week, it is worthy of note that conditions in the camps are by no means bad. The cold which has accompanied the rain in. tho city is not noticeable in camp. At Trentham the atmosphere has been still and comparatively warm,' and the camp is fairly dry, in spite of the weather. Kecenfc 'activities in street repairing and rolling have added to the Rood state of the camp grounds. • Although both main camps and rauherenikaii are fairly well filled, the rate of sickness continues at a very low percentage. With 3000 men in camp there were only S3 men in hospital in Trentham. ■ If the low rate of sickness & maintained throughout the winter, it is expected that a world's reco'rd as regards military camps will be achieved sn Ne;v Zealond. It may be added that there is every reason to believe that the precautionary measures taken are responsible to a great extent for this satisfactory state of things.
