LAST OF THE FIRST DIVISION
WILL THEY BE BALLOTED FOR?
The military ballots, already takers have reduced the number of men left in the First Division to about 8000, and as 8000 is, roughly, tho number that may. be needed (taking recent ballots as a guide), the question has arisen as .to whether the authorities would deem it necessary to ballot at' all. It was thought probable that the whole of the remaining names could be gazetted, provided, of : courso, that the whole 8000 or so were to be called. . ' ' It appears, however, that according to the Act o. ballot must bo taken, but in tiiis case it would simply bo a ballot to comply with tho Act, and not, perhaps, entirely similar to previous ballots.. . ■ To enaUlo tho whole, of the remaining names to be gazetted it would be necessary to amend the Act.
