NEW ZEALAND IS THERE.
The Balkan News, the organ of the Eastern Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, gives a breezy account of the recent New Zealand dinner at Salonika. There was an attendance of 3.5, and owing to the " exigencies of the campaign," many other New Zealanders in and around Salonika were unable to be present. Major Harper, from the chair, proposed the toast " Prosperity to New Zealand," and said thatltbere were two kinds of New Zealanders. There was the " pukka " sort, born and bred there, and the other people who, having once visited New Zealand, were so proud of the country that they took its name for ever after. Captain A. E. Salt remarked that the dinner disproved the statement that there were no New Zealanders in the Salonika force. He knew of 60, at least.
