NEW ZEALAND'S OBLIGATIONS.
MUST DO OUR DUTY. Referring to a report that the Government did not intend to send married men to fight, Sir James Allen made a statement at Wellington yesterday that, so long as the war continued, the' Government would continue to fulfil their obligation to send reinforcements, even if this "should involve the calling up of the R and C men. It was his earnest wish that we should not have to send even the A men out of the country, but no one could tell when the war would end. He saw members of the Second Division in the South, and his conviction -was that, although, they had big responsibilities, they would all go willingly when their time came, knowing that they were fighting tor their country and their own people.
