NEW ZEALAND TROOPS
PLANS FOR •RETURN HOME.
(Pub United Press Association.) WELTjINGTON, December 20. Sir James Allen states that the War Qffico has sanctioned the transfer to England for early evacuation of the 1914 and 1915 classes of the New Zealand Division Tiie Minister said: "General Richardson has promised to advise me later of the date of transfer. This means that the Main Body men and the men of the earlier reinforcements will bo transferred to England soon, and returned to New Zealand as early as possible." Sir James Allen stated that the first task tv-qs the evacuation of the sick and wounded, and this was being done now. Holidays would probably be observed at tho front as elsewhere, and it was therefore unlikely that any of the fit men of tho division would be taken over to England until the Now Year. Sir James Allen added: We may possibly see the first of tiie men about April next."
