MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS.

Press Association

WELLINGTON, August 15.

: In.a letter in an Auckland paper on July 8, a correspondent made certain -allegations in regard to the non-acceptance by the Defence authorities of the proffered services of medical men. The matter has been fully investigated by the Defence Minister, and in a reply to him the Commandant of the Forces, General Bobiriy states that the assertion that no acknowledgment had been made of the offers on the part of the medical men for service in the Expeditionary Forces was quite contrary to fact. All applications had been duly acknowledged and appointments had been made wherever vacancies justified them. If the names, of prominent medical practitioners could be given definite proof of these statements could readily be supplied.
