TWENTY-FIRST REINFORCEMENTS.
CANTERBURY PROVINCIAL . .QUOTA n FULL.
* CHRISTCHURCH, Sep£. 19. Colonel Chaffey, officer commanding tho Canterbury military district, announced yesterday that for the Twentyfirst Reinforcements, leaving for the training camp this week, the whole of the quota is full, but the West Coast quota is about 70 short. The position, in-regard to the Coast is that the district has not many eligible men. The miners, who have already oonributed a fair share towards the various drafts, are exempt, as no morn of them can be spared. The North ami. South Canterbury areas are contributing their quotas., but they cannot make up West Coast shortages.
