THE NEW ZEALANDERS.
CALM CONDITIONS PREVAIL ON SECTOR.
[Special from the Official War Corres*-
pondenti)
May 14. A calm, that is. almost uncanny prevails on our sector, and indeed over a large part of the front.
Meantime our daily casualty list has fallen very much. Such casualties as occur are almost entirely from shelling, but all evidence points to a greater effectiveness of our artillery. It may be that the unwonted calm is merely a prelude to another extensive German onslaught for which ammunition and even aeroplanes are being saved. There have been minor affairs between patrols, and during a raid on the enemy trenches we captured ten Germans.
