MAILS FOR DARDANELLES.
| MUCH NOT DELIVERED. SORTING WORK IN LONDON. Times and Sydney Sua Services. (Rehired January 10, 11.15 p.m.) London, January 10. The New Zealand High Commissioner's office is deluged with undelivered Dardanelles mails. Two hundred bags are arriving daily, containing letters, newspapers and parcels dating from April and May. A dozen men are busy sorting the mails. When the above message was referred to the Hon. James Allen last night he said he knew nothing of any such state of affairs. No such information had reached him from the High Commissioner, and he was sure that if things were as represented Sir Thomas Mackenzie would have advised him. In the early stages of the war, soon after the New Zealand troops left, all mails for the Expeditionary Force went to London. That practice had very soon been discontinued, and now all mails for the New Zealand troops went to Egypt, via Suez.
