DEMOBILISATION.
LONDON, May 6. Official: As regards demobilisation New' Zealand, notably ocupies the best position among the Dominions respecting the percentage of troops returned or afloat, f.nd the present circumstances suggest the maintenance of that condition, as 13 ships are leaving EngInnd for New Zealand between now and the first week in June. This result is very satisfactory in view of fact that earlier in the year'strikes in various English ports held tip shipping for about six weeks, causing serious congestion in .New Zealand's export of produce stores. All things considered, tbo Dominion has gained a good share of the available .shinpuifif. and the position now is generally satisfactory.
