A COMMON DANGER
AND THE MILITARY SERVICE BILL. Speaking at the Public Service dinner last evening the Minister of. Internal Affairs (Hon. G. W. Russell) said that in a _ very little while the Military Service Bill would become law. There would then be given fourteen days in which any man who had not sent in his National registration .would have an opportunity to do so. And those who did not send in their card would be caught. Those who were caught were liable to receive a monetary penalty in the Magistrate's Court, and directly that happened they become conscripts, and join the army. .Mr. Russell said that he made • these statements so that everyone concerned would know where they stood. To-day there was a common responsibility and a common danger. And, while he was Minister, every power, he possessed would be exercised to see that not a man escaped his liability.
