MAY REACH DOMINION.IN APRIL. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. "Sir James Allen states that.the War Office has' sanctioned the transfer to England for early evacuation of the 1914 and 1915 classes' of the New Zealand Division. The Minister said: "General Richardson has promised to adviso me later of the date of transfer. This means that the Main Body men and the mi;n of the earlier reinforcements will be transferred to .England snon and returned to New Zealand as early as poa» sible." " Sir James Alien stated that the first task was the evacuation of the sick and wounded, and this was being done now. The holidays would probably be observed at the front as elsewhere, and It was therefore unlikely that any of the fit men of the division would be taken over to England lintil the New Year. He added: "We may possibly fee the first of the men about April nest."
