Some , *ime before the draft marched down I Queen-street, a young man, standing j fon the footpath in front of the 'General Poet Office was heard to ask a friend I :ina loud tone, whether he intended to "go and see the pigs off." The ■remark w'as heard by a well-known » <coastal captain who has two sous serving in the Expeditionary Force. 'Hi<j ■captain immediately asked the young ! man to "say it again,'' and when he ; did so, promptly knocked him over. j The young man (showed , no inclination i 'to carry the matter further, and the ; uincideut closed with a warning to him ■ from the captain against unpatriotic 'conduct in public places. The New Zealand Minister for Dej ..fence (the Hon. James Allen) in the j House of Representatives on Thursi day, announced that the ' Imperial auJ ••Chorities had accepted an offer made I hy the New Zealand Government to . I the reinforcements already disfj for mounted rifles to the eamu . ! as that of infantry—'that i I was to say, an increase from 10 to lo ; per cent per- month of the establishI nient of 'mounted rifles serving with the . ;Expeditionairy Force in the field.
