THE CAMP AT KOWAI.

SOME GOOD MATERIAL. [bt telegraph.—own correspondent.] CmiiSTCHpRCH, Monday. The territorials at the Kowai camp are working Temarkably well. There is a good spirit prevalent in the camp, and cm all sides it cannot but be recognised that this scheme has done wonders with Canterbury's voting men. Major B. Head, of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, has seen a great deal of active service. He is at present attached to the New Zealand staff and he compares this camp very favourably with the Australian one which he attended before coming to New Zealand. Ho says that if the defence scheme is not interfered with financially or politically or in any other way New Zealand will* shortly have the finest fighting unit in the world. The young men take to it naturally and he is convinced that when properly taught and trained, as they will bo in a few years, they will be as efficient and valuable in active service as one could wish.

It has been raining heavily for the past two days and everything is soaking wet. The men are enduring most miserable conditions with great cheerfulness.
