CONDITIONS IN FRANCE.
BETTER THAN GALLIPOLI. MORE TRYING TO NERVES. [BY TELEGRAPH.OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WELLINGTON. Thursday. News of how New Zealand army affairs are going at the front is contained in a letter just received by the Minister for Defence from General Godley. In the course of his letter General Godley says: "Conditions here, though in many ways easier than in Gallipoli, are more trying to anyone whose nerves are not quite right, on account of the frequency and flight of the enemy shelling. A great deal of time has been given to the organisation of the dental work here, and it now seems-, to be running smoothly and efficiently. I have reappointed the Rev. J. A. Luxford to be principal chaplain to the New • Zealand Expeditionary Force again. I saw him at Hornchurch, . and although he has only one leg he will be able to do the work and to advise General Richardson as regards all chaplains' matters and co-ordinate the whole."
