Observances respecting Anzac Day.

Prime Minister's Office,
Wellington, 8th March, 1917.

I HEREBY notify, for public information, that the Government have decided to observe Anzac Day this year on Monday, 23rd April, 1917, St. George's Day, instead of on Wednesday, 25th April, 1917, owing to the municipal elections being fixed by statute for the latter date.

2. I shall be glad if the Mayors of all cities and boroughs, the Chairmen of County Councils and Town Boards, as well as other local bodies, as far as their districts are concerned, will similarly observe the day in remembrance of the notable deeds performed by the Australians and our brave New Zealand soldiers on that memorable and historical occasion.

3. It is specially fitting that on this occasion special services of public worship be held by all religious denominations, and I therefore appeal to all ministers of religion and all congregations to hold such services on behalf of the people of the Dominion at such hours during the forenoon or afternoon as are found convenient.

4. The New Zealand Ensign will be displayed on all public buildings in the Dominion from sunrise to sunset.

5. It is requested that the managers and representatives of shipping companies should direct that all ships in the various harbours display their flags during that day.

6. It is considered that the occasion is particularly one upon which opportunity should be taken to arrange patriotic meetings during the day, and especially in the evening, to commemorate the anniversary, the question of how this may best be done being left to the discretion of the Mayors of the various boroughs and the Chairmen of other local bodies.

J. ALLEN,
Acting Prime Minister.
