THE DEFENCE FORCES.
IMPORTANT CHANGES PENDING. [BY TELEGRAPH.—SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] Wellington, Wednesday. The question whether ? commandant,' or a military council should be: appointed for the New Zealand defence forces is at present engaging the attention of the Government. In either caw the policy of tho Government will be to see that the services of highly-trained military experts art secured for particular branches of the service. ' It is understood that some important changes in the Defence Department are pending. • : Colonels Davies and Robin are at present in Wellington. General Babington and Captain Camp- : bell leave, ' en route to England, on Satur- ■ day. . ' j.Mr. McNab has stated, in answer to 'Mr. Rutherford, that the constitution of the military council, or board, as suggest- •■■:;.., ed .in some of ; the ", newspapers, is altoV ■ gether incorrect .and misleading. The con- *'- stituent "members : of such • a council have not yet been considered, but there can be no doubt that if such a.- council be established the interests of the mounted branch of the service will be represented therein.
