ARRIVAL AT AUCKLAND. (BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.) AUCKLAND, Jan. 27. ‘‘Tell the officers and men who were with me in Palestine that I am very pleased to be in their country. I an: looking forward to seeing them again,” was the message given to the Press today by Field-Marshal AUscount Allenby on his arrival by the Ulimaroa to-day. “Lady Allonby and I are simply tourists —wliat the American::, call rubber-necks. We want to see your country merely as holidaymakers.” They were met by Colonel J. H. Whyte, and Auscount Allenby’s response was made in a deep voice that could be heard along the deck. It was easy to imagine the memorable occasion when he roared out his intention to got the whole Turkish army. He remarked that he did not want social functions; he ivanted to see the country. The visitors were brought ashore in the Harbour Board’s launch and motored to Government House as guests of the Governor-General. A civic reception was held at mid-day.
