300 BRIDES WITH ANZACS

New Zealand Troops In U. 8. Port on Way Home. Newport News, Va., April 4.—With nearly 1,000 New Zealand troops on board bound for home from France via the Panama canal, the British transport Remuera has arrived here for coal. The steamer is expected to continue her voyage before the last of the week. Nearly 300 wives of the soldiers, who were married during their stay in Europe, are returning to New Zealand to make their home. The majority of the soldiers had been in Europe three or four years.
