DEPORTATION OF GERMANS.
NEW ZEALAND ARRANGEMENTS. WELLINGTON, April 15. Arrangements have now been completed for the departure from New Zealand of interned Germans whose repatriation Was ordered some months ago. There are 100 of these men, comprising captured" naval men, some officials, and a few German civilians who have expressed a wish to be returned to their own country. The Germans will probably leave New Zealand before the end of this month. They are to proceed to Germany via Australia, and it is understood they accompany a large body of Germans now interned in tho commonwealth. The Australian Government, like the New Zealand Government, has been anxious to get rid of tho prisoners, but has been hampered in making arrangements by the shortage of ships.
