MEMORIALS ON GALLIPOLI.
♦ SIR J. ALLEN’S TOUR. ERECTION OF MONUMENTS. Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn. LONDON, August 12. The Constantinople correspondent, of the Times reports that Sir .Tames Allen, High Commissioner for New Zealand, spent two days at Gallipoli. He visited almost all the cemeteries. He was well satisfied with the work done. Of the 32 monuments 144 are completed, so far as the local masonry is concerned, and the -others are half finished, with the exception of the vast.lmperial memorial at Cape Helles, which is expected to be ready by Anzac Day, 1924. It is hoped that the large New Zealand plinth, at Ghanak Bair, will be completed in eight weeks. The designs generally, Sir James Allen' considered, were worthy memorials of a great feat of arms.
