THE ALIEN EViL. ALLEGED INFLUX OF HINDUS. Per Press Association. Wellington, September G. The secretary of the Trades’ Labour Council has addressed a letter to the Premier, calling attention to the alleged influx of Hindus into the Dominion, and to the danger of serious industrial social questions arising. He suggests that the Government should take stops to deal with the matter on tht' lines adopted by tiro Canadian Government, before the evil reaches serious proportions. PROOF OF ENROLMENT. The Don. W. F. Massey (Chairman of the Recruiting Board) telegraphs from Wellington to-day as follows: It is still evident from reports in the press, and from communications that have reached the Board, that there is a widespread anxiety on the part of residents of some evidence of their enrolment in the reserve, pending the issue of certificates! of enrolment. It has therefore been decided that the Government Statistician shall acknowldge the receipt of each application, and that such acknowledgment will be a temporary proof of enrolment, until it is replaced in due course by the certificate itself. It will bo clearly understood, of course, that once the certificate is issued, the temporary acknowledgment card will entirely cease to have any value as pi oof of enrolment. Arrangements have been made to overtake the accumulation of applications already received, and it is hoped that within the next week or ten days, every reficate'of enrolment will have received an acknowledgment card. Any reservist therefore who lias applied for his certificate of enrolment and who does not get an acknowledgment card within the time stated above, should at once renew his application.
