IMPERIAL DEFENCE.
[by telegraph.] Wellington, Tussday. Speaking at a luncheon the Hon. J. G. Ward said, in proposing the toast of "The Army and Navy," that the time was coming when the colonies would have to do more than in the past towards controlling the destinies of the Empire. Probably an Imperial Defence Committee would have to be formed, sitting in London, with representatives from every part of the Empire. Colonel Pole-Penton mentioned that the New Zealand casualties so fa;, out of 700 men engaged, were 6 killed, 12 wounded, 10 died of disease, and 17 taken prisoners. The invalided New Zealanders were instructed to proceed to Mount Cook barracks. They are to be examined by the Medical Board to. morrow, and those that are in sufficiently good health will be discharged from the military service and allowed to proceed to their homes.
