ABOUT EXEMPTIONS
Sir,—lt is to be hoped that Captain Walker, good man though he be, will take as broad a view as Captain Free has in' Invercargill in regard to the railway employees. Why should a certain section of the community escape enlistment while others, if medically fit, have to go to the front? If factory hands do not obtain exemption why should others? It is distinctly noticeable that nil through tho appeals recently heard that the Roman Catholic and Anglican priests havo obtained exemption through, it may be, political influence used by their respective bishops. If a man is physically fit, no matter what his occupation, lie should, in this critical hour of trial, help to cease the struggle.—l am,-etc., OVER AGE.
