MILITARY SCHEME-FURTHER "SCENES."

CHRISTCHURCH ROUGHS. DEMONSTKATIOX~'aT OAMARU. (By Telecrapli.-Prcss Association.) Christchurch, August 8. Christchurcli has had to share with tho other towns of the Dominion tho rather dubious credit of having produced boys Willi "conscientious objections" to (ho compulsory military training. Now it must rest under tho stigma of having reared young hoodlums who do not prato of their conscience, but rush headlong into acts of wanton hooliganism. Last night, while the medical examination of cadets was going forward, no fewer than tive stones were thrown through (ho windows of the doctors' room. Jn addition, there was an unusual amount of general rowdyne-s. The doctors were forewl to wear their helmets, lest they should sutler injury from missiles or from the shattered glass. The appearance of one policeman, however, quelled all trouble. Oamaru, August S. About 150 Territorials assembled tonight for their first mooting. They gathered in a knot in the street opposite the Drill Hall, and declined to accept tho invitation to "Come in." Instead, thoy throw missile?, comprising turf and turnips, at the officers, and created considerable, noise. The rowdyism lasted finsome time, but, eventually, a few entered tho Drill Hall, and the remainder marched off.
