DEPARTING DRAFTS
NEXT-OF-KIN ARRANGEMENTS.
Owing to the recently gazetted Regulations covering the control of wharves and shipping, it is announced that it will be impossible in future to admit any persons to the ships or wharves at which such vessels lie without special permit, which, of necessity,' must be restricted to those whose duty requires access thereto. This is considered essential to the safety of shipping and troops embarking. In order, however, to enable next-of-kin who so desire to say goodbye to soldiers arrangements have j been made whereby a special train will be run to the camps and will return to Wellington, concession tickets being issued to bona fide next-ofkin. Soldiers in camp will be notified of the time and date such train will leave Wellington, and in turn will notify their next-of-kin. Small parcete which next-of-kin or friends may desire to give to soldiers may be handed either to the soldier personally daring the visit to camp or addressed"to the intended recipient, care of Transport Shipping' Officer. X Shed. In the latter event they will be placed 6n board the transport by the Shipping Officer and distributed after embarkation by the ship's quartermaster.
