The New Zealand contingent in Egypt is attracting much notice in the Italian papers, not only because the men are fine fellows, well found, hut on account of their efficiency, writes an Italian correspondent. In fact, the colonial troops excite more attention than professional Tommies, because they are volunteers instead of trained sol liars whoso calling is to fight.
