SCARCITY OF INFANTRY

.Wellington's quota for the Sixteenth Reinforcements paraded a*-, the Drill Hall, Buckle Street, at .8 a.m. yestcr•day, 49 men short. Tho largest number of was in tin) ' infantry; 172 men in this class were wanted,,and 126 answered the roll call ycteiday. This leaves a shortage of 46 . m .this branch, of the service., The De- , fence authorities anticipated that- the shortage would have been even greater because the draft paraded 67 short at dental inspection on -Monday, but 21 men who had either registered on Monciayj or who- had failed to parade on ,' Monday morning, turned up'yesterday.■ tnd reduced the' shortage. Of the remaining units the Mounted Riiles quota was two men short and the Ariny Service Corps was-one nian short at the parade. It is not anticipated that there will be any difficulty in filling the places of-these men, but it is -expected that it- will-take a few days to obtain Wellington, City and Suburbs'. full, quota for the 16th Eeinforcments. .;■' Regarding' the Fifteenth Reinforcements Wellington is still short. No men came forward to join thcin yesterday. After the new recruits had been pa- , caded at the Drill Hall they left at 9.15 a.m. for Trontham Camp, and marched through the City to Lamhton Station, headed by iwo bands. Despite the oai-ly hour the streets we're well.lined, , and the new soldiers were heartily cheered all along the,route of. : march. '■' .
