— —pA RECRUITING STATEMENT. SHORTAGES MADE GOOD. . Per Press Association. Auckland, October 13. The Hon. J. Allen (chairman of the Recruiting Board) states; “All shortages are included in the quotas called up for the 22nd draft, and that draft comes in with the full number we asked for. There will he no shortages of any kind whatever in camp.” The Minister added that the machinery of the Military Service Act was being got into operation as fast as humanly possible, and it was grossly unfair to say there had been any deliberate delay. If there were shortages in the 22nd draft they would certainly be made up subsequently, as the family shirker clause was now in force
