"What is the use of going on witlr all this appeal business?'' said Mir Wells at a recruiting meeting at Hokitika last week. "Why I know of a case of a man in this district, who, although a married man, got his wile's consent to enlist, passed the medical examination, and them got a letter from the officer commanding the area advising him that his services could nob be accepted, as his creditors objected to his going. T. think this is a matter that requires looking into," continued Mi* Wells, "for the man can simply go into* another district and enlist, and all the creditors in the world could noi? stop him.'' Members of the eom^ mittee present were of the opinion; that a rather ' large question was opened up by this matter, and thatin any case it was not one in. which?' they were called upon to interfere.
