MILITARY SERVICE BILL.
CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS,
Wellington, July 21.
Long negotiations between both Houses on the question of the religious objector to military service have ended in the adoption, by 44 to 18, of the clause under which the State may force this class right to the front on non-combatant work. The terms of the agreement, which were submitted to the House of Representatives to-day, show that the conference has agreed to exempt the religious objector from actual combatant service, providing he served in a non-combatant capacity, including service in the Medical Corps and Army Service Corps, this service to be given not merely in New Zealand but wherever the military authorities required it.
