LEAVE FROM THE FRONT
v MILITARY SERVICE BOARDS TO CONFER. A "conference of Military Service Boards is to bo held ill Wellington shortly to discuss questions arising from applications for men on active service to be sent back" to New Zealand, either temporarily or permanently. Many applications of this kind have been received by the boards during recent months, and it is considered desirable that a policy for the guidanco of the tribunals should bo laid down. The applications for_ the return of men to New Zealand arise usually from changes in the domestic or business circumstances of the men. The death of a father may make it desirable that a son should be brought back to tho Dominion to manage a farm or look after n family. The loss of two sons at the front may causo the parents to ask for the return of a third and last rcmaining son. Tho fconrdsj in considering cases of this- nature, havo been faced by the fact that it is a much more serious'mattor to withdraw a trained and fit man from the forces at the front than to exempt a recruit at tho beginning of his military career.
