CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR.
REFUSES TO SION UNDERTAKING.
A young man named Percy Gill, electrical engineer, told the First Auckland Military Service Board on Tuesday that his conscientious convictions regarding all warfare were such that they would not allow him to take part in any military operations. He was a member of the Society of Friends. He also refused tojsign the regulation form prescribed for those unwilling to do combatant work. His appeal was therefore disallowed, and the military police attended the board-room after the case, and Gill was placed under arrest.
