COMPULSORY MILITARY TRAINING.
EIVEEY MEETING AT CHRISTCHURCH. Christchurch, Last Night. A meeting held in the Salvation Army Barracks to-night called by the Baptist Lay Preachers’ Association against the system of compulsory military service broke up in disorder, the meeting being invaded by a party of College students who made such a disturbance as to prevent any business being done. A motion was proposed expressing the opinion that compulsory military training was a violation of the liberty and conscience, and in direct opposition to humanitarian advancement and progress. An amendment was proposed that this meeting approves of military training, but in the uproar it was impossible to tell whether one or other was carried. The students afterwards held a meeting outside, at which patriotic speeches were delivered.
