' Palnierston, May ,31. Since the beginning of the war the Wellington military district has furnished all quotas asked for the expeditionary forces, also for two new service battalions, and has 700 men in excess of requirements for the seventh reinforcements. The Hawera group is the best recruiting centre, Wellington next, and then Palmerston. The seventh reinforcements go into camp at Trentlnun not earlier than June 14 nor later than June 15. REFRIGERATED SPACE.' ' ' Invercargillj May 31., Farmers in Southland were considerably alarmed on Saturday when it was realised that only one steamer will load meat at the Bluff in June— some few thousand carcases,, not enough to relieve the works for a week. Feed is becoming scarce, and the consequences will undoubtedly be most serious unless space for at least another hundred thousand carcases is allotted for June and early July shipments. There is talk of a deputation going to Wellington to lay ■ the position before the Shipping Committee. There is a feeling liere that at the last .sitting of the committee the claims' of Southland have been most unfairly dealt with.
