AUCKLAND'S FINE RECORD.

By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, March 20. Seventy-two young men enlisted at the city recruiting station to-day. Of these thirty-seven were accepted, twenty-three deferred, and twelve rejected. The total registrations since the opening of the new station on March 4 is now 1034.

In addition to the extra men already sent from Auckland for the 14th Reinforcements, the Defence Department to-day asked for 120 more to go 60uth on Monday to fill southern gaps. It is evident that'unless more eligible men enlist in the south, Auckland will : have to provide a large proportion of future drafts.. POSITION IN CHRISTCHURCH. By Tolejrraph.—Press Association. Chrlstchurch, March 20. A meeting of representative citizens presided over by the Mayor was held this afternoon to consider the matter of recruiting under the Government's new e-chemo.
