.*» A WAIT CORRESPONDENT'S OPINION; • {United Press Association.] Wellington, April 10. Interviewed after a visit to Treutham,; 3lr Ashmead Bartlett, the war correspondent, said: "Trentham struck mo first thing as avery1 good site for a !c£i'mp. Tho arrangements for housing ithe. men are admirable. Everything possible is done for their .comfort: also it- isr a line natural training _ ground, v. ith excellent rife ranges. The hutI merits for the men especially impressed me. They are' bettor than anything 1 have soon in Australasia." He also said the camp appeared to be well run and he was much impressed t'/ith the seriousness and earnestness of the men. Their physique also was very remarkable and seemed to compare very favourably with the first contingent which landed at Gallipoli, although there seemed to be a number of elderly men among them. Tho Now Ze.iklnd reinforcement drafts on arrival at Gallipoli were thought very highly, of, especially the mounted and infantry.
