THE C 1 MEN

CHANGE OF CAMP TO-MORROW.

Tho recruits in the CI Camp at Fcatherston will bo transferred to Tauherenikau to-morrow. They number over 1000 now, and 600 additional CI men have been ordered to moboliso next week, Tho camp at Tauherenikan has been prepared for tho reception of tho temporarily unfit men, and will bo used exclusively by thorn for 6omo time to como

Somo of tho CI men, having reached the required physical standard, aro about to be transferred to tho main training camps as members of the Expeditionary Force. Experience is showing that not less than GO per cent, of the CI recruits will eventually become fit, and it is evident that they will make a substantial addition to the ordinary reinforcements.

The Tauherenikau Camp will be used in connection with the mobilisation of the Second Division next year. _ The "combing over" of tho First Division will bo completed within a few months, but tho Second Division will provido a continued 6upply of Cl men, -who probably will be taken into camp as regularly ns tho A. men, who will form the regular reinforcement drafts. The effect of a regular stream of fit men from tho Cl camp to tho A camps will bo to reduce tho number of men required monthly from tho various classes of the Second Division.
