Williams, of Waiapu, who had offered to serve with the Maori contingent now at the front, tho Hons. Dr. Pomnre and A. T. Ngata have made the following statement on behalf of tho Maori Contingent Committee which has acted as an advisory body to the Minister of Defence in regard to the recruiting of tho Maori contingent and reinforcements; “Mr. K. S. Williams, some time in the month of May, offered for service at tho front, and in particular with the Maori contingent, should the services of anyone who had knowledge and experience of the Maoris bo required. The committee could not avail itself at that time of Mr. Williams’ offer, although it was recognised that there were few men so well qualified for special duty with the Maoris as Mr. Williams. During August, however, General Godley cabled to the Minister of Defence and asked that someone with experience and knowledge of the Maoris should be sent from New Zealand. Although tho wisdom of the step was questioned from this end. the General again cabled, and it was then that the committee advised the Minister of Defence that he should avail himself of Mr. Williams’ offer, and Mr. Williams was accordingly notified to report this week for special duty with tho Maori contingent. Now it appears that in tho meantime, owing, no doubt, to, tho pressure of circumstances at the front, General Godley hod attached the Maoris to the New Zealand infantry brigade, and now cables that Mr. Williams’ services will not be required. Tho committee recognises that Mr. Williams has been put to groat inconvenience, and hastens to acknowledge his readiness to servo and to sacrifice a largo business and several important local positions.”
