FAILURE TO REGISTER
THE hint from the local bench yesterday, that in future single men who had failed to register for military service would be given gaol without alternative indicates the serious view which is being taken of this breach by the authorities. From this it can be taken that offenders in future will meet with short shrift. This attitude will meet with the general endorsement of the public at large, for with 60,000 men already serving with the colours it becomes a despicable thing for a man to seek to escape the duty already undertaken by his fellows.
