WHAT WOMEN HAVE DONE.
PRIME MINISTER'S THANKS. WORK FOR THE FUTURE. [BY TELEGRAPH. — I'RESS ASSOCIATION.] Wellington*, Monday. When speaking at a concert on Sunday night, the Prime Minister, on behalf of the Government, took the opportunity of expressing appreciation of the splendid work done by the women of New Zealand since the commencement of the war. Mr. Massey referred to their patriotism and enthusiasm, to the willingness of trained nurses to volunteer for the front, the assistance given by the women in raising funds for patriotic purposes, the manner in which the women had worked to provide comforts for our soldiers on board the ships and in the trenches, for ithe proper equipment of the hospital ship, and generally for the sick and wounded on the way back to New Zealand. Mr. Massey also reminded the audience that during the nest few months a very large number of recruits would be required, but he relied confidently on the patriotism of the community and the manhood of the country- to provide the men for the new battalions and the reinforcements without any serious difficulty. "We require," he said, "plenty of energy and enthusiasm, but no hysterics and no vainglorious boasting."
