“CONSCIENTIOUS” OBJECTORS.
TWO religious conscientious objectors, one an “Israelite” and the other a “Christadelphian,” started an* argument in camp recently touching their respective beliefs. Words soon led to blows. The “ding-dong” .go between the tAvo created a good deal of interest, and finally the honours of-battle Avent to the man with the long hair. Both used violence, and even shed a lit-
tie blood in defence of their religious convictions. Another conscientious objector sought the law court recently in an action against a fellow citizen whom he held was attempting to take him down in a land deal. Yet he refused to fight in a cause upon which his personal liberty and the rights and privileges of the State depended. A conscientious objector is either an enemy to his country or th? Darwinian missing link. The process of evolution from monkey to man is still discernible in the military sense, and this peculiar class inspires a feeling of pity—the other fellow is the within the gate. •
