TO THE CONSCRIPTION DODGER.
bir, —fiio incident I liero relate needs no introduction. Ic hapi>oned,in a country district not 20 miles away l'rom AVollington—a district, unique, ' I venture to think, in that it can boast no single enlistment since war was declared in August, IUI4. 'What <v boast! Among tho inhabitants there lives a sturdy young Now Zealandcr, the proud owner of broad acres, sheep, prime bullocks, and the incvitablo car, who lias now, in all his manly strength, decided to take unto himself a wife who cau share the luxury of Lis car and listen to the tales he weaves of his sheep, his bullocks, tho taxes ho has not yet begun to pay. Concerning his marriage, Iris latest remark is said to be; "Ob! we!!, its como to either that or going to tho war these days." This from a New Zcalander, whoso countrymen, for a broken treaty and tho honour of our race have given their lives on far Gallipoli, that he, forgetful of his manhood, may flourish and prosper in complacont security, tho owner still of his broad acres, iiis bullocks, and his calves.—l am, etc., A WORKER,
